Amazon Basics Window Fan with Manual Controls, Twin 9-Inch Blades

I love this fan! What I love most is that the side that faces you once in a window has the openings for air flow only in the front. A lot of fans have vent holes on the sides of the raised areas around the openings of where the blades are. If you use them in a window with a screen it causes back flow and air comes back in through those side openings. If you are using this as an exhaust fan especially in winter, a lot of cold air flows back in with every other fan I have ever tried. This fan only takes the air out!!! No drafts!!!! I am super impressed with with this fan! The remote is great, the in and out flow is neat with dual blades. That feature would be awesome if you are cooking something that needed some fresh air and needed smoke out. The blades are large and moves a lot of air. Amazon did a great job on design for this and it Ii am beyond happy with my purchase!!!

The digital thermostat is a joke. The other night inside was around 78 and outside near 60. I put the thermostat to 65 and went to bed. Hoping once the room temp. Reaches 65 the fan will turn off and room wont get too cold. To my surprise the fan stopped in less than a minute since it was pulling less than 65 ! One of the pull out adjusting shutters was stock out of the box. And the other one doesnt stay open and keeps pulling back in.

Ordered digital model Likes: Quiet on High Dislikes: Hums on Low/Med (possibly voltage regulator-related), beeps when power is restored and every time a button pressed.

Runs good, not necessarily quiet, but a work horse.

The fan blades themselves could be larger. They made the openings look big, but in the picture you can see they should be bigger. Id like more airflow and the bigger blades would help. That or higher RPM for the blades or more of a twist to the blades to push more air. Weve only used it one night so far. Otherwise, the build is reasonable, its light, the pull-out extensions are nice compared to the old clip-on style. It has a manual thermostat, and it works. Id actually prefer it without the thermostat so there would be fewer things that could fail. This is why I purchased a Non-Digital version, we had the electronics to haywire on another brand.

We have a 1925 one-and-a-half story cottage-style house with no air conditioning. Our Iowa nights can get really sticky, especially with the bedrooms right up against the roof line. I originally bought a pair of Bionaire Window Fan with Twin 8.5-Inch Reversible Airflow Blades and Remote Control - one for the front bedroom, one for the back bedroom. If you do a search for best window fan this one seems to be everyones favorite pick. However, the buttons make a loud beep, you have to cycle through the buttons to change the speed of the fan and the direction of the fans. Its nice to see the temperature display but its a bright red LCD. I only run the fans at night but Ive already had to replace one of fans fuses. Honestly, I wish I had found the Amazon Basics fan first. Fan speed is a standard off-high-med-low dial, fan reverses with a switch, and theres a built-in thermostat, but of the unmarked dial variety - all of which are SILENT! If I want to change the speed or direction of the fan in the middle of the night, Im not going to wake up my husband with a bunch of beep-beep-beeps and I dont have a bright red light shining in my face. Otherwise, both fans have the same fan volume but the Amazon Basics comes with little swing out legs so I can take it out of the window and use it as a box fan PLUS its lighter and less expensive. I also like the way the cord comes out of the fan - its got a little notch to keep the cord from getting mashed against the window sill. Im here to buy another two fans (so each bedroom has one) and then Ill put the Bonaire fans downstairs where the beeping and the lights wont matter so much. The more Amazon Basic products I buy, the more impressed I am with the price and quality.

This is a good solid fan. Doesn’t make much noise. Push’s air in or out with 3 different speeds. No issues so far.

This fan functions as described. It is not as feature rich as others. It is much louder than our previous fan on all settings, particularly low, which is where we use it most of the time in our living room. I was going to return it but missed the window by 2 or 3 days. I will not buy this fan again.

Easy to install, good as a basement exhaust fan to keep air fresh. Note- this fan is reversible for intake and exhaust.

I have had a few window fans before. So when I got this one, I really didn’t expect much difference. But I was surprised at how quiet this one was. Moves the air great and easy to sleep in the same room with.
