An OK fan., April 16, 2008
This review is from: Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, White (Kitchen)
This little "Super Turbo" fan moves a lot of air, even on low speed. Physics wins out: with three diminutive blades, six inches across, it does so quite noisily. It's not insanely loud so kudos to the designers and the $15 price point. I bought a second one shortly after the first arrived on my doorstep.
Perfect for common areas in the home, for me it would be intrusive while sleeping. For those needing a "white noise" generator, this one will put out all you need and then some. Spend some time near this fan, turn it off and the silence is deafening!
I have one mounted six feet up on the narrow wall of my 22 by 10 foot kitchen. On high speed it creates a nice breeze across the whole room. Another is similarly mounted in a bathroom and does a quick job of de-steaming after a hot shower and keeping cool while finishing up.
Even though I have a large floor fan in the garage, I'm thinking of getting a third HT804 to place next to the workbench.
I am puzzled about something, though. The product description here tells this can be used "...as a whole room air circulator or for Direct Focused cooling." Similarly, the box says, "Use as an air circulator or for focused cooling," along with a picture showing three arrows pointing in different directions. These words imply dual modes of operation but neither the instructions or the fan itself indicate how this could be. Make no mistake: this fans blows in one and only one direction - straight out the front! One can surmise a communication disconnect between the engineers and the technical writers and package designers.
You can't go wrong at this price if you want to move lots of air with a small footprint. But, if you're wanting quiet operation, you'll need something larger and more money.

Terrific, March 29, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, White (Kitchen)
The fan is pretty quiet and has a lot of power. I like the white finish as it's very inconspicuous in my white room. The price was great and the delivery quick.

Good but limited movement, October 15, 2006
This review is from: Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, White (Kitchen)
It's a good strudy fan made of hard plastic. The circulation is good. The only thing I don't like is that it has limitations on being able to move the head in the down position.
