Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Geez, half the reviews here complain this fan is too quiet, while the other half say it's not quiet enough. Didn't know who to believe, so I just took the plunge and ordered the bastard. My verdict? Not dead silent, but on the lowest of 3 speeds it's quiet enough to make me happy, and appreciably quieter than my former fan, a raucously loud Holmes Lil Blizzard. Some of the improvement is probably due to this fan having an 8" diameter blade instead of 6" (bigger blade = lower frequency noise), but still. Sound aside, this Honeywell HT-908 is physically stable, can tilt 90 degrees (straight up), and lives up to its self-description as a Whole Room Air Circulator (didn't realize "fan" needed marketing euphemisms) by doing a bang-up job of moving air across a bedroom even on its lowest setting. Overall, a pretty phat fan. If anyone cares, it's not a real Honeywell product, but made by some Massachusetts company called Kaz. PS - If you're in a cheap mood, note that the 6" version (HT-900) retails for about half as much ($16 vs. $30).
