Our take
Choose the HY-224 when a replaceable fragrance cartridge is part of the room routine and ordinary fan airflow is still the main job.
Consider it when fan airflow plus Febreze fragrance freshening fits your routine; verify the exact model and do not treat the cartridge as particle filtration..
Not for shoppers who require a settled speed count, an exact height, a documented timer, particle filtration or a confirmed current Amazon variant.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The integrated Set&Refresh compartment adds fragrance freshening during fan use.
- The manufacturer page lists remote operation and oscillation.
- Honeywell and its launch release identify the white HY-224 model directly.
What to weigh up
- The feature list says two speeds, while the description and launch release say three.
- The store page lists 33 inches and the launch release says 32 inches.
- A fragrance cartridge is a consumable, and no particle-filter result is established.
The key details

What the features mean for you
The scent cartridge changes the ownership routine
The HY-224's defining feature is a Febreze Set&Refresh cartridge compartment in the fan body. Honeywell says one cartridge is included and compatible refills can be used; the launch release also describes a cartridge in the package. That makes this a fan with an additional fragrance-freshening task, rather than a standard tower with only airflow controls. A buyer should decide whether a scent refill is welcome and check the cartridge supply separately. The sources do not describe a particle filter, measured odor removal, or an air-purification rating, so do not treat fragrance as filtration.
The speed count is unresolved
A speed requirement cannot be matched confidently from this source set. Honeywell's feature list says two speeds, but a later description on the same page calls it a three-speed fan; Kaz's launch release also says three. Those statements are not reconciled by the checked material. The product remains useful as a known HY-224 model, but it should not be placed in a three-speed minimum result. If the number of airflow steps matters, inspect a manual or a model-label-specific offer before buying and compare it with a source-confirmed three-speed alternative.
Remote and oscillation are documented without a sweep angle
Honeywell lists a remote and oscillation, and the launch announcement also describes remote operation. That supports a basic convenience distinction from a fan controlled only at its body. Neither checked source gives a numeric oscillation angle, so a buyer cannot use the HY-224 to meet a particular sweep-width requirement. The fan's scent dial also changes the amount of fragrance released, but does not establish app control or voice integration. Those controls are best understood as model-specific manual and remote operation, not connected-home features.
Treat height as a range of conflicting claims
The Honeywell Store page lists dimensions of 8.6 by 8.3 by 33 inches. The 2013 launch release calls the tower 32 inches tall. The difference is small in ordinary placement but relevant when a buyer is fitting it below a shelf or into a narrow alcove. Neither value should be presented as a settled exact height for every offer. Check the assembled dimensions on the model label or a seller page that clearly names HY-224. The historical B00B4BJSHU record is not a crosswalk to a current exact listing.
Choose the fragrance feature for the right reason
The HY-224 may suit someone who specifically wants fan circulation and a replaceable room-fragrance cartridge in one appliance. The tradeoff is that it adds consumable upkeep without documented filtration performance, while the ordinary fan controls are not fully resolved by the available sources. Buyers who only want a timer, measured air cleaning or a known speed count should compare a model with documentation for that requirement. Use the tagged HY-224 model search to inspect a seller's exact item; a search destination is not proof of stock, price, cartridge inclusion or present variant identity.
What else to compare
Choose a model with a confirmed speed count when that is a hard filter, or a separately documented purifier when particle filtration is the goal.
Before you buy
How many fan speeds does the HY-224 have?
The Honeywell page conflicts internally: its feature list says two while its description and Kaz release say three, so keep the count unresolved.
Does the HY-224 include a Febreze cartridge?
Honeywell's product page and the launch release both say a Set&Refresh scent cartridge is included in the described package.
Is the scent cartridge an air-purifier filter?
No. The checked sources describe fragrance freshening and do not establish a particle-filter grade or measured filtration result.
What is its exact height?
The store page lists 33 inches, while the launch release says 32; verify the dimensions of the specific HY-224 offer.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision
Shortlist the HY-224 for its scent-cartridge combination only after checking the exact model and accepting the unresolved speed and height details.
