Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed FanCustomer Review: Misleading Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this fan to draw in cool air from outside so I could turn off the A/C at night. I bought this specific model because of its claim of "whisper-quiet operation" and "90-degree tilting fan head allows for directing airflow". Both are misleading.
This fan is LOUD. Even on setting 1, it's loud (just as loud as the in-wall A/C unit with the compressor on). There's no way I could fall asleep with this thing on. I next tried it in my office to circulate the air as suggested (and shown) in the instructions, but it was so loud I had difficulty hearing people on the phone. To put it into perspective, this Honeywell with its 6.25" blade span makes as much noise as my Seabreeze 12" blade span floor fan. It does push a good amount of air, but that doesn't matter if you don't use it because it's too loud.
Then there's the issue of the angle. The instructions say the fan gives you "the versatility of changing this fan's angular direction simply by adjusting the fan to ANY desired angular output". What an outright lie that is. The side-to-side movement is limited to about an 80-degree rotation (whether oscillation is enabled or not), and the fan assembly itself only has a 90-degree rotation (straight-out to directly-up). Unfortunately, even that 90-degree vertical range isn't real because there are five click-points where it snaps into place. If you try to leave it between two click points, the vibration will move it until it snaps into one of those points. So you really have a very limited angular output of 80 degrees horizontally with a choice of 0, 22.5, 45, 67.5, or 90 degrees vertically. So much for "any" angle.
NOTE: This fan does NOT angle downwards at all. The vertical angle is limited to 0 degrees (straight out) to 90 degrees (straight up).
Here are some basic specs:
Width: 11.5"
Height: 12.5" when at 0-degree vertical angle (straight out)
Height: 10" when at 90-degree vertical angle (straight up)
Depth: 7" when at 0-degree horizontal angle, 0-degree vertical angle (straight out)
Depth: 9.75" when at 0-degree horizontal angle, 90-degree vertical angle (straight up)
Depth: 11" when at 40-degree horizontal angle (full rotation), 90-degree vertical angle (straight up)
Horizontal angle: 80-degree rotation (optional oscillation)
Vertical angle: 0, 22.5, 45, 67.5, and 90 degree click-points
