cheap, quiet, functional
(5 out of 5) by Picky Consumer on May 25, 2007pros:
-much better than a regular traditional fan. This one does that spiral thing with the wind tunnel effect. Its more effective than a regular fan, sends the breeze further out. Its still spread out enough as well, and you can set it to oscillate anyway.
-its quiet, since its not a big fan. Even on second highest speed its fairly quiet, and the noise it does make is pleasant, not distracting. On lowest setting can barely hear it. On highest setting its slightly loud, but i could sleep with it on anyway. Its just not a big sized fan, so its not going to get too loud.
-Cheap!
-decent looking.
-lightweight and very portable.
Cons:
-controls are on top of unit, so when you go to change the speed, sometimes you push the fan down and change its angle. Wish the controls were on the base instead. No biggie tho.
Keep in mind it IS on the small side. Its probably meant for a single small bedroom. Just over a foot high and wide. Base is narrow though (about 6 inches deep) it it will fit easily on any desk.
Cheap, good looking, looks like it might last for quite a while, solid, quiet, and very functional. Whats not to like? Now I'm ready for summer.

Moves air. Did you want something else?
(5 out of 5) by David A. Baer on Dec 25, 2006 (Indianapolis, IN USA)One of the facts about today's economy that I find amazing is that I can buy a powerful, effective, little machine like this for under twenty dollars. It doesn't seem quite right.
This fan is among the more solid ones we've owned. It has three speeds, a lot of power, and oscillates without the creaky, squeaky irritation you often get from such machines.
My wife and I sleep in a room with this fan on 'low', which works great to dampen sounds throughout the house, like the cat yowling, the boys prowling, the dogs clicking their nails on the hardwood floors, and the incessant flutter of bat wings.
Actually, we haven't had much of the latter, but we're prepared if it kicks in.
Buy this fan.

Oscillates.... sometimes.
(2 out of 5) by O. Ihonvbere on Aug 25, 2007 (New York, New York)I'm actually a fan of Honeywell fans, but this particular fan (Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Base Turbo Fan), I bought because it was supposed to oscillate. Out of the box it worked fine, but less than a week later, it often gets stuck, which is really irritating when you set it up before going to sleep, only to wake up in a sweat to find that the fan has gotten stuck blowing air against the wall.
As a stationery fan, it works fine, but I didn't buy an oscillating fan because I wanted a stationery fan. Another complaint I have is that the fan doesn't point downwards, so if you happen to have it set up somewhere higher than where you want the air, you're pretty much out of luck.

Very strong, well-constructed fan!
(5 out of 5) by BeforeISleep.net on Jun 13, 2007 (Washington, DC)This fan is a great bargain. It produces a very strong breeze, and the oscillation function is well done: It doesn't squeak when it reaches the edge of the oscillation, like a lot of inexpensive fans. I don't know why people were complaining about the noise; it is no louder than any similar fans I have used. Highly recommended.

I'd give this 10 stars if I could
(5 out of 5) by Munirul Hoda on Jul 24, 2007 (NY, USA)Simply THE BEST FAN EVER MADE. GREAT PRICE. I've owned many fans. This one was fascinating. When my brother bought it, I saw the size and looked at him like what were u thinking? It worked better than any large fan I've seen. AMAZING. PRICE, SIZE AND POWER.
