Honeywell HYF290E4 Review

The Honeywell HYF290E4 QuietSet Tower Fan is a slim, compact, versatile and highly effective appliance. It features an impressive 8 fan speeds which is much more than typically available in tower fans (usually only 3 or 5 speeds). We like its ultra-slim design which lets you position it in rooms with little space. It provides an excellent means of cooling living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and more.

Other features of interest include the up to 8 hour timer with automatic shut off, and the oscillation mode which adjusts the air flow left and right at a wide angle of 80 degrees. We particularly like the display panel which is easy to read and features an adjustable brightness setting, letting you choose from 5 options. In terms of portability, the unit is slim, lightweight and has a carry handle.
