"Sturdy fan - puts out a lot of air!"
I use this fan in my 9'x9' cubicle at work. I have alternated between oscillating and static modes. The oscillating mode is very smooth and quiet. I have used the fan on level I & II. In this small space, I have no need to go to level III (and barely a need to use level II). It puts out lots of air, and I feel the noise level is "average" for a fan. A fan is going to make some noise if its putting out some air. I would equate it to "white noise" in offices. Its not distracting, and actually can help if you can typically hear office neighbors talking. It makes less noise than a small Holmes fan that I borrowed (until I received this one). I could see this fan even working in a small bedroom. If I needed another fan, I would definitely get another fan like this, or at least look at the honeywell line.

One thing that I don't like, but wouldn't prohibit me from getting another one is the location of the on/off/level knob. It is on the back of the fan, which, to me, is a little difficult to get to. I have to flip the whole fan over and hope I don't mess up the angle I have set up. The oscillating button is located on the front/bottom of the fan - I can even use my foot to turn it off and on. Anyway, not a biggy, but thought I would just mention it - its the only con I could think of.

"XBOX 360 cooling fan on steroids"
I bought this to help keep my XBOX Elite cool. It works great. Matches the color of all my components. The cheap coolers for the XBOX don't have enough gusto and also plug into the XBOX unless you have a nearby USB port like I had on my DVR cable box. This fan has a strong central breeze without a gap like some fan do down the center of the breeze coming off the fan.

"It's ok"
The fan is ok, probably too loud for the size but it gets air circulating as it promises.


"Shoddy construction and noisy as heck!"
Within 30 minutes of taking this item out of the box, one of the screws mounting the fan to the stand came loose. That didn't seem so bad, so I screwed the piece back in. I enjoyed the fan for a while - it moves a huge amount of air for such a small fan, but even on the lowest setting, this fan makes more noise than most box fans.

After a month of regular use, the base stopped oscillating, and when I turned off the fan and picked it up, I heard something rattling around inside. I figured that another screw had come loose, but when I opened up the base, I found out that the screw connecting the oscillating motor to the base had snapped, leaving the shaft of the screw stuck in the rotating portion of the motor. Anyway, I now have a noisy, non-oscillating fan (that admittedly moves a lot of air).

"Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Fan"
Worked very well while visiting my daughter in New York State. I left fan with her & my son-in-law to use in their home,as they liked its performance as well. I would definately recommend for quality & reasonable price.
