Unfortunately, there is also one more downside to this bargain buy... and that's that the Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan is noisy. There's rarely a true bargain without some kind of payoff, and in the case of the Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan, its very welcome affordability comes at the cost of intrusive noise and limited functionality.

Feel the blast of the TurboForce Power Air Circulator Fan from 25 ft. away! This portable fan's 3 speed settings and 90° pivoting head are designed to work with the cooling and heating in your home to create a custom comfort zone. Uniquely engineered fan blades provide quiet, powerful personal cooling that’s great on a tabletop or mounted to the wall in your home or office. It's also not the coolest fan out there, the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator, Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan, and EcoAir Kinetic Ultra Silent Air Circulation DC Fan can all deliver an icier blast. The latter two also have 'natural wind' modes that add variety and are far more pleasant to sit in for long periods of time than the Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan's flat and one-directional air current. However, considering its price point, these are small gripes, and nothing we couldn't forgive for the Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan's budget price tag. Having tested other, more expensive fans, that offer oscillating or 'natural wind' modes that vary the airflow to create a more natural breeze, the other caveat we'd add is that sitting in front of a fan blowing air full force at you for a prolonged period of time can become a little tiring. A little variation turns out to be a very good thing.

The fan has a myriad of settings to control the fan's output. Not only are there four settings for speed, but there are three different wind modes that vary the cooling power of the fan. There is a sleeping wind mode that starts at high wind speed and then gradually decreases every 30 minutes and a natural wind mode that changes speed randomly. The normal wind mode allows you to choose one set speed using the speed dial. We hardly used these alternative modes because they weren't very pleasant. The changes in speed were abrupt and not at all like a natural wind. We typically kept the fan on normal mode and changed the speed as needed with the remote.

This is useful if you don't want the air current pointed directly at you, but doesn't move the air around the room in the same way that an oscillating fan achieves, as it doesn't constantly vary the airflow direction. When it wasn't pointed directly at us, we also found it harder to feel any real cooling effect from the airflow. So does it cool you down? Well, yes and no. As mentioned, this affordable fan does blow air at you, and its airflow is fairly powerful – as you'd expect from its 'Turbo Force' name tag. It's not such powerful or noticeably cool air as the more expensive MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator can deliver, but it does have a cooling effect, as long as the fan is pointed directly at you. If you point it elsewhere, then its cooling effects are more limited. Safety is paramount in the flight training world and the T-100 provides an additional safety margin by using twoF124 engines.
