Honeywell Fresh Breeze Tower Fan with Remote Control, HY-048BP

This fan BLOWS!
I bought one of these fans locally and I liked it so much that I ordered another one from Amazon.

Here are the pros and cons as I see them.

Pros:

1. It pushes a lot of air - I can get a nice breeze from as far as 25 feet away.

2. It doesnt take up a lot of room.

3. It is not ugly like many fans are.

4. The remote control with flashlight is a nice feature even though I rarely use it. For the person who complained about one LED being burned out straight out of the box. Only one LED is for the flashlight. The other is for the remote control functions and doesnt illuminate.

Cons

1. The breeze feature is kind of annoying because of the fluctuation of the noise level.

2. You have to hold the remote in a specific postition to make it work. If the fan is oscillating, its hard to find that position.

Nice controls, but not the best air flow/noise
I have central AC, but my home office is typically a few degrees warmer than the rest of the house. I decided to add a fan to help cool the area off, but I wanted the quietest fan that did the job. I ended up ordering the following three fans through Amazon for comparison:

- Lasko 4924 Space-Saving High-Velocity 3-Speed Oscillating Blower Fan (HVB)
- Honeywell Digital Tower Fan with Remote and Ionizer
- Lasko 42 In. Wind Curve Tower Fan

I'll start with the quick summary for the TL;DR crowd. In terms of air flow, from highest to lowest, the ranking is: HVB >> Wind Curve > Honeywell. In terms of noise, from loudest to quietest: HVB > Honeywell > Wind Curve. Thus, the fan with the best air flow for the noise generated, and the one I...

Excellent
This is a wonderful fan. It takes up little space, circulates a lot of air, has a larger oscillating range than others I have had, and is very quiet. The remote is a nice bonus, since you can make it stop blowing on you without having to get up. The only down side I can think of is that the fan is so low to the ground; if you like feeling it on your face or do not have an open area to put it in be prepared to have to put it on top of something such as a desk or table or consider finding a standing fan instead.
