Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, Black

We wanted a noisy fan for background noise in our daughter's room to block out house creaks early in the morning, and the reviews said this was noisy-- and it is, perfectly for our purpose. It is very powerful and really gets the air moving.

This is a great little fan with a lot of power. I highly recommend it.

A lot of people have complained about the noise this little fella makes.

Question: how can you expect it not to make a lot of noise with a name like Super Turbo High Performance Fan? You should probably be more surprised that this thing doesn't blow your eyebrows off when you turn it on.

It comes with three settings: loud, louder, and deafening (which would correspond to the layman's low, medium, and high). Expect to have to rebuild some of your home when using the high setting as it will, in all likelihood, blow the roof off your home.

My wife uses it to create what some of you would term as, "white noise." Being more PC than most, we tend to call it, "The noise that creates an environment conducive to sleeping minus the city's occurring interruptions." I have also, on occasion, used this fan to cool myself off on hot days (but not too long as it is so powerful as to simultaneously cause wind burn and frost bite).

Seriously, I give it a 5 because it's a good fan, it's very economical, and it's more portable than the box varietal. If I cared about the amount of noise it creates, I would lower the score; I don't so I won't. Just keep your thread and string away from it (I spent 30 minutes cutting thread out of the fan after it literally sucked it in through one of it's vent openings - no joke).

Quiet operation combined with high volume air movement makes this fan a top rated buy.

For a non-oscillating fan, this little guy moves a lot of air. It is also really loud. Some may see that as a drawback, but in my little campus apartment, it's been a blessing. White noise to keep the ska band down the hall's noise OUT. (They're pretty terrible!)
