Having brought and returned a similar sized tower fan a few months ago (as it seemed of poor quality) this Honeywell / Duracraft fan has been a great replacement.

Honeywell is a brand that I trust though our tower fan is only labeled as 'Duracraft' and I was worried at first that I had been duped! However after switching it on I was impressed by it's smoothness and relative quietness and the power of the circulating air.

This fan is made entirely from a thin white plastic thus making it easy to move about. To first assemble it you need to slot together the two parts of plastic that make the base threading the plug through as you do it. Then the tower slots into a hole on top of the base. Incredibly easy to do.

The lead from it's plug to the base is 188 cm long (approximately) so not overly long but if it were too close to you I do find that the air is so powerful that it can make your eyes sore. Ours stretches from a plug on the other side of the lounge to about 5 ft from where we like to sit. We have found from this distance that the breeze is perfectly strong enough.

On the top of the tower are five easy to press down buttons. Three are the fan's speeds, one is an off button and the other is for allowing the fan to oscillate.

We tend to use the oscillate function a lot and it oscillates between approximately 90 degrees. Perfect when the wife and I are sat on the sofa so we don't have to cuddle together to both get a fair share!
