Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Honeywell HY-047B Fresh Breeze Tower Fan with Ionizer
Customer Review: Good enough, but the remote could be improved
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this fan to replace a tower fan by Sharper Image, which after more than 5 years of heavy use was starting to go. As far as the Honeywell's fan functions are concerned, it seems to be good enough, although summer hasn't officially arrived so I won't really know until then. I like the fact that it has a cleanable filter.
The thing I don't like about the fan is the remote. I use the fan in the bedroom, and it is across the room from the bed, so having a remote is almost a necessity. The buttons on the remote have dual functions -- the power button is also the speed button, and the oscillation button is also the ionizer button.
What this means is that if you turn the fan on and leave it at the high speed setting, which is the default speed when the power goes on, you have to push the button three times when you want to turn the fan off, because you have to go through all three speeds before it hits "off".
Also, and even less conveniently, if you want to turn on the ionizer you first have to turn on "oscillation", then hit the ion button, then wait until the fan is in the position where you want to leave it, assuming you want it stationary rather than oscillating. If you want to change the position of the fan, the ionizer goes off, so you have to hit the button two more times to get that function back on, then adjust the position. If, heaven forbid, you turn the fan off for a minute, you have to start all over again with the adjustments.
After using the Sharper Image remote that had a separate button for power, speed, oscillation, and ionizer, this business of multiple button-pushing is tedious. It's tiresome enough that I am now looking for another fan. Since I use the fan daily for 7 months out of the year, I'd like to find something a little easier to use.
