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

This fan does pack some power! It also does it all… pull air in, pull air out… put in a window or use the legs to have it freestanding. Remote control as well. Excellent in every way.

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.

I love Amazon Basic products. Ive never had a problem with them. This fan is great. It works better than a portable AC honestly. I know because I recently bought one.

The only thing i did not like was the speed on the fan was not high enough for what I was looking for. It circulates great. I wanted high speed window fan.

The high speed is pretty low compared to another brand I bought a year ago. I can’t remember the other brand was I got.

This is a great fan that I replaced another model with. Lightweight and quiet. Dual fans so you can have one blowing air out and one blowing air in, or both in either direction. Note that this fan is specifically for a horizontal position. If you want it vertical it is too heavy for the pull-out extensions. I solved that by putting two small nails through the pullout folding screen to lock and place and it works wonderfully.

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.

Shockingly cheap looking fan, but it runs very quietly. Heres hoping it lasts more than a minute and a half. BTW, there is no way to lock the accordion expansion wings into place when you pull them out, so they just suck right back in once you place the fan in the window. UPDATE: weve had the fan roughly 3 weeks now. It moves air but not a lot of it; even on the highest setting. Heres my biggest issue and why I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this fan and Im changing my rating...when you turn the fan off, (this is the fan with a remote), it resets all the settings. So, if you have it set to blow air IN the room from the outside when you turn it off, when you turn it back on, it will be drawing air OUT. HARD STOP. I could not figure out what was going on and why there was no breeze coming in through the window. It had reset itself to draw out. It does this every time you turn it off. I will be returning it.

THis fan is plastic mostly but I wanted to put it in my detached garage to circulate some air in the summer and it is very damp there so it is perfect for what I need. May not last as long but wont rust as quickly either.

Tun it slightly down and it turns off.
