Honeywell HTF210B QuietSet Personal Table Fan, Black – Oscillating Personal Fan with Quiet Operation and 4 Levels of Power and Sound

I've had one of these at work for about eighteen months, and I absolutely love it there. Moves just enough air to keep me comfortable without blowing papers off my desk. I finally saw it on sale back in March and bought one for my bedside as I'm tired of cooling a seven room house with the AC just to be able to sleep in the one room I'm in. As a nighttime fan, I'm not quite as impressed as the baffle fins can't be adjusted, and it blows mostly straight out and slightly upwards, which I never noticed as my desk surface is well below my core, so the air goes right where it needs to. With my nightstand being above my head when I'm lying down, most of the stream blows uselessly above me. Not really the fan's fault, so I'm not knocking off a star, but I definitely noticed the difference quickly, and have to run it a setting higher which means slightly more noise. The other issue is the LEDs. Whoever designed a bedside fan (it has a "sleep" setting and shutoff timer, so I know they had that in mind) with intensely bright blue LEDs should be slapped. It was keeping me awake if I faced it. Thankfully, I'm handy with a screwdriver (a torx security bit set is needed, but cheaply acquired if you don't already have one like I did) and it wasn't difficult to disassemble enough to extract the board for a little modification. To start, I covered the LEDs with a thick layer of orange sharpie to cut down on the blue spectrum, but eventually, I'll probably desolder them all and replace with amber LEDs instead as the light indicators are now almost too dim to see in anything but complete darkness (not unexpected). Not sure how well that will work as the control panel also has blue-colored plastic windows, so I've no idea how much amber light will get through. Might try just one to start to see what happens first. I really wish this thing had amber LEDs to begin with to save a whole lot of trouble. If you decide to modify one for yourself, it would be a decent beginner project as it runs on low-voltage DC (its powered by a 12V 1A wall adapter) and everything is modular as far as the electrical parts. Just lay down a paper towel or something as they greased the crap out of the oscillation mechanism with an overly ample amount of petroleum jelly and if you're not somewhat careful, it might get messy. Everything that needs to be disassembled to get to the board is above that, so its not a major issue unless you drop a screw right into a grease blob like I did. Overall, it's worth the price. I bought the first for about twenty five bucks, and just picked up another for my home office because its on sale for twenty. Four and a half stars (for the LEDs), rounded up to five.

I bought this fan about five years ago and it’s been working great ever since. I’m really confused as to why everyone says it runs quietly because it really does not. The machine itself isn’t loud but it produces enough air to make a steady flow of sound. But that’s what I like about it. I use it to drown out outside sounds when I sleep. I have one on each nightstand and use on the High function and I can’t hear anything at all outside. It’s wonderful for that. Highly recommend. Nice air circulation, sleek design and doesn’t take up much space.It’s durable, has a good variety of speeds, has the appropriate brightness on the dash, it’s a good value for the money for sure.

So far, it is surprisingly good. Very good, even. I needed a fan for my bedroom and though I have only had it for a few days, I am very happy with the results. I had to turn it off last night because combined with the AC, it was downright frigid in the room. The AC in my house has issues reaching my bedroom so it was surprising, to say the least. The fan is maybe 15" tall, rotates and has 4 speeds, all for $20. No remote but for $20, it is still very good. Mind blown. It was an excellent purchase. If I have future issues, I will edit my review. The value is outstanding, though.

I’ve been using the Honeywell QuietSet Personal Table Fan for a few weeks now, and it’s been a great little addition to my workspace. It’s very quiet, especially on the lower settings — I can leave it on during Zoom calls or while sleeping without it being distracting.The airflow is surprisingly strong for its size, and the oscillation helps spread the breeze around nicely. I also like the simple touch controls and the built-in timer, which is handy for bedtime.It’s not meant to cool a whole room, but for personal use at a desk or bedside, it works really well. Overall, it’s a reliable and quiet fan that does exactly what it promises.

This is exactly what I needed. Something to basically move air around quietly. Works as a gentle fan and has a sleep (sound) setting up to an actual fan setting, depending on what you need. Lightweight and sturdy.

This fan is a decent "little" fan, with "little" being the operative word. Its compact size makes it incredibly versatile, and it's clear that this product is designed more for personal cooling than for widespread room circulation.Currently, I'm using this fan to supplement a more powerful fan in my small bedroom, and in that capacity, it performs adequately. It helps to stir the air and distribute the cooling effect of the primary fan, which is exactly what I needed it for. However, if you're hoping for this fan to single-handedly combat a stuffy room, you'll likely be disappointed.Even when cranked up to its maximum speed, the airflow is quite limited. From a distance of about six feet, you can barely feel any breeze at all. This really underscores its role as a personal fan.Ultimately, this fan excels as a "good little desk fan." It's perfect for placing directly on your workspace to provide a gentle, localized breeze, or perhaps on a nightstand for a bit of personal comfort while sleeping. Just don't expect it to cool down an entire room on its own. If you need significant air movement or a fan to reduce the overall temperature of a space, you'll need to look for a more powerful and larger alternative.

Outstanding for my needs: cools me and my computer by swiveling back and forth, effectively, quietly, with a small footprint on my desk. It does all of these things very well! Ignore the black electric tape on the brand name (Honeywell); it's just to avoid being distracted by it as I work.
