Summary
The Honeywell HT-908 Turbo Air Circulator Fan is truly a tiny but mighty fan. You will definitely be surprised with how strong the airflow is when you turn this on. It is so strong that even when put to the lowest fan speed setting, some might complain that it is still too strong.
This feature makes it perfect as an air circulator when it comes to small and medium rooms. At the same time, it is extremely portable and lightweight, so you can practically take it anywhere with you in your home. However, its biggest let down is that it does not oscillate.
Having that oscillation system will surely take the airflow power of this fan to the next level, but that is not the case. Likewise, there are some problems concerning the parts of the fan wherein they really need a lot of maintenance, but other than that, there are no major problems.
Comparison with the Holmes Blizzard Table Fan
We are now moving on to a fan that has the missing feature of the No products found. which is the oscillation system. We are talking about the Holmes Blizzard Table Fan, and just like the one from Honeywell, this fan is tiny but mighty.
It is mighty due to its oscillation system that will be able to push strong gusts of wind to a farther distance. In terms of airflow, it is also pretty consistent. Compared to the one from Honeywell, it is more lightweight and portable
Its head can also be tilted, but it only has two fan speed settings. In terms of looks, the one from Holmes look like a standard fan that has been shrunk to many inches. This might sound boring, but what you get is a cute looking fan, reminiscent of those Pinterest boards, so if you are looking for an accent piece on your work area, this fan can be right up your alley.
Just like the one from Honeywell, it also works quietly, and the base is not that wobbly when turned on. Sound like they are evenly matched, right? But can a table fan defeat a slightly larger table fan? We shall see.
Verdict
Both the Holmes Blizzard Table Fan and the Honeywell HT-908 Turbo Air Circulator Fan are tiny but mighty, but in this world where only one can reign supreme, we will go for the Honeywell HT-908 Turbo Air Circulator. The reason behind this is that even though it does not have that oscillation system, it is still strong.
Its strength is that to the extremes that the oscillation feature of the one from Holmes does not really give a dent to the features of the one from Honeywell. Simply put, the one from Honeywell does not need an oscillation feature to cool down a room completely, and this fact is really impressive.
On the part of the oscillation feature of the one from Holmes, yes, it is very handy, as the gust of wind can really reach places. However, you cannot really feel the air circulating properly in the room. You can only feel the breeze when you are directly in front of this fan. With the unit from Honeywell, wherever you are in that small or medium room, you will not feel hot. Hence, for us, this is a perfect choice.
