Replacement for Honeywell Turboforce ht-908

I've used a Honeywell Turboforce ht-908 as my bedroom fan for the last 10 years but it finally died. It was the best fan I've ever owned. I would have just bought a replacement, but they have discontinued the model and no longer offer anything of comparable size. Does anyone here have experience with some alternatives that they'd suggest?

The ht-908 has a box that is roughly 13" in diameter with blades that span about 9" in diameter from tip to tip. It is remarkably quiet for its size and the volume of air it pushes. Every bedroom fan I had before, I had to run on the highest setting. But I always ran the ht-908 on the lowest setting because it simply pushed that much more air than anything else I've had.

I'd prefer something I can put on a night stand. It's fine if it's large (the ht-908 takes up ~7"x14"). I don't care if it oscillates. I don't mind some noise, but my wife and I sleep with it so I'd prefer something relatively quiet. And I don't want to spend more than $100 (the ht-908 was only $27.49).

I can find things that meet most of these criteria easily enough on my own. But it's hard to evaluate how loud a fan is and how much air it will push based on packaging and online item descriptions. I only discovered the ht-908 because my friend had one and I was blown away by its strength and quietness.
