Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HFS641P 16-Inch Remote Control Stand FanCustomer Review: I Like It Loud... Summary: 3 Stars
I actually really like the fan, but the seller leaves a whole lot to be desired. This rating is based more on the fan than the horrible shipping, however. Despite that I thought I would share my experience. The fan arrived late in it's point-of-sale box. No care hd been made to package it at all. It would be like pulling a product off the aisle at Wal-mart and sticking a shipping label on the box. It arrived soaking wet and torn in half with a crude attempt to tape the box back together. The blade guard was warped and the console buttons broken so I returned it.
I waited a good month or so before finally calling. They had left my return on the floor in some warehouse and hadn't bothered to send my replacement. Again I wait and call and they had failed to send the replacement again, but this is all neither here nor there.
The fan does feel cheap, the remote control is even cheaper. If you're buying this or the remote I would suggest against it. For its size this fan puts out a lot of air and it is nice and loud. I was looking for a loud fan, it helps me sleep, and this fit the bill admirably. The breeze feature is nice but too annoying to use. The revving and slowing of the motor along with the clunk of the blades engaging as it speeds up just takes away from the relaxing atmosphere this mode woul otherwise create.
My biggest problem with this fan is its remote capabilities. I have this fan in a room with a Tivo and a Panasonic plasma television. Both of these devices have remote controls that -constantly- change the speed of the fan and set it to the breeze mode. The Tivo doesn't do it very often, mybe once every two days. The Panasonic on the other hand... its remote (even programmed through the Tivo remote and other programmable remotes) must be on a very close frequency because it changed settings on my fan dozens of times a day. I'm not so lazy I need a remote for my fan, but I do hate getting up to reset it every time I change a channel since I no longer have the fan remote. The first thing I did was throw that silly piece of plastic away.
So if you want a nice loud and powerful fan and don't mind dealing with the horrible company shipping it to you, go for it. Just keep in mind that any of your remotes are liable to set this thing off, especially you Panasonic owners (the Panasonic in the other room does it a lot too, my Samsung used to but not so often). I have attempted to cover what I thought was the sensor with electrical tape and duct tape but it has done no good so far.
