The Honeywell HF-810 Mega Turbo High Velocity Floor Fan receives good marks for power in professional testing and owner-written reviews. Most reviewers agree that this fan moves a lot of air. Unlike most floor fans, this unit has a floor stand, which reviewers like because it allows the fan head to be tilted to direct airflow and prevents the fan from tipping over. The noise level is a problem for several owners, but for most it is tolerable or even conducive to a good night's sleep. One reviewer complains that this fan cannot be taken apart for cleaning. A concern cited in testing is that this unit, like all floor fans, has large grates that may pose a safety hazard for small children, who may be tempted to stick their fingers through the grates. Tower fans, like the Honeywell HY-048BP Fresh Breeze Tower Fan (Discontinued), are a safer option for homes with small children.

Good Housekeeping magazine tests 32 fans, identifying the best choices in several fan categories. Unfortunately, details of the testing are not included, and this review is quite dated. Reviewers on Amazon.com give this fan a very good rating.

Editors at Good Housekeeping magazine test 32 fans, listing picks in several types. The Honeywell HF-810 is the best floor fan. Editors are impressed by its power, noting that it "circulates gusts of air in hallways and basements." The report cautions that, as with all floor fans, the large grates on the fan head are not safe for children.
