Actually wonderful, but ...

In my search for a tower fan two candidates are left after a short search: The ROWENTA VU 6020 fan and the Honeywell Tower shown here. I then tried both machines live. To anticipate an equal: The Honeywell has convinced me more, but on the spot he had even made polite dazed and no funny business (see below). Now, however, first to the common ground.

The functionality is the same for both fans essentially:

- 3-speed fan (40 watts), the highest level even enough for a breeze in about 5m distance. I sit at my desk about 3m from the fan away and am with Stage 1 at Honeywell satisfied.
- Rotation, the angle of Honeywell very ordinary is 110 °. Incidentally, it does not rotate about the housing, but the column in the tower.
- Natural breeze, that is, the fan automatically changes its wind intensity. When Rowenta apparently every 80 seconds while Honeywell is constantly between standstill and the maximum set level.
- Sleep mode, ie the wind will progressively weaker until it stops.
- TIMER, with which you can limit the duration (Honeywell: 0.5-4 hrs / Rowenta: 1-8 hours..).

Now in detail the advantages of Honeywell:

- Functionality: It is again good 10cm higher than the Rowenta, a round total yards. That was important to me because I want to be flowing while sitting at a desk in any case over the entire upper body with sufficient air. That works wonderfully with Honeywell.
- Appearance: He is at least one class fancier and more noble than the Rowenta whose silver plastic something comes along arg cost-conscious in my eyes. Quite different Honeywell: high-quality looking dark plastics and great sidebars matt gray aluminum.
- COMFORT: The Honeywell comes in contrast to the Rowenta with a small remote control for all functions (including batteries.), Which can be hidden even in a small compartment on the back of the tower, if necessary.

So why only three stars? Here the thick Minus:

- Noise: My first Honeywell has begun after a few hours to make the rotation of the column and also when starting the fan sounds that are unacceptable in an office and I have experienced in this form even when no fan. The noise could be the way by bringing to silence that was pressed on the panel side. Since constant hugging, despite its attractive exterior was not a realistic option for me, I have exchanged him for a few days.
So now came copy number 2. Well, what can I say ... this specimen also has a noise problem, but not as serious as my first. Nevertheless, I expect at a wind Wedler this price range that the basal functions make wind and rotating at least come off as smoothly as with any cheap fan.
I then wrote to the manufacturer not receive a reply with a request for comments, but even after more than a week.

Conclusion:

For the weak processing of the mechanics and the maul lazy manufacturers there are two star deduction with me. So unless you can live with a possibly unpleasant noise and do not want to communicate with the manufacturer, you will get to the Honeywell a beautiful tower fan with great features.
