> 3 dayI must be getting old because it annoyed me I couldn’t find a really good fan. Actually just one that didn’t rattle or make ridiculous noise. This is the one! I found it! Good airflow, minimal height, no rattles. Intake and exhaust at the push of a button. Love it.

> 3 dayremote battery failed after 2 days- i replaced it. other than that its a nice fan, Quiet. can suck outside air in or blow inside air out with just a touch. Can be placed in and out of the window easily. the blocks that come with it are weird. they dont snap together or anything. I just used cardboard to block the rest of the window.

> 3 dayI installed this window fan in under 5 minutes! No tools needed! I purchased the Alexa Enabled model and it took about 10 minutes to get it connected. If you will use the Alexa app, connect the device to your app PRIOR to installing the unit in the window. There is a Barcode on the bottom of your unit. If it does not connect the first time follow the directions on your Alexa app! (You must press the power button until the unit blinks.) My review: First we live in Southern California. Our house was built in 1943. Most of the houses in our neighborhood do not have AC. Needless to say it gets hot but not compared to other areas. Second, I wanted a horizontal fan to sit on top of my armoire. I was NOT looking for a window fan. (We have shutters and I thought the shutters would not accommodate a window fan.) Then I came across the Vornado Transom and I am so happy I purchased this fan! FIRST I installed the fan (as it is meant to be) in the window. - It fit in my window perfectly (ignore the other review of the person showing the modular foam does not fit. Look at her pics the fan itself is not installed in her window correctly.) - my shutters with large slates ALMOST closed completely. If you have shutters with the smaller slates I am confident your shutters will close. - note, the fan works best if you select a window that does NOT get direct sun. It worked like a champ in my window facing north. The window facing west, not so good. SECOND. I put the fan on top of my armoire. OMG! it is keeping my room cool. Yes I know this is NOT how the fan is supposed to be used but the fan will stay on top of the armoire! The fan itself is light weight, quiet, sleek and works like a charm! I love this fan! In fact I’m buying another unit for my Sunroom/Office. 100% would recommend this fan!

> 3 dayLet me preface this by saying that I have 3 different Vornado fans that I LOVE. And Ive had 2 of them for 3 years and 1 of them for 2 years. This brand is to be trusted — with fans. This product unfortunately missed the mark for me. It is sleek, and the design is beautiful — by far the most beautiful transom fan on the market. However, this product in actual use is just . . . not there. 1) The amount of air it moves is not that much. You can barely feel any air moving unless your hand is within 20 inches or so of the vent. 2) The thermostat is quite useless. This fan was in the window of my bedroom RIGHT by my head. I wanted it in my bedroom, because I like to sleep very cold, and for some reason my apartment TRAPS heat like nowhere Ive ever lived. So one of the first nights I have this transom fan, it was a very cold, and I set it to 60. The room was probably 72-74 or so. Well after a few minutes, it turned off, saying it was 60 in the room. I asked my echo (also in the same room) what the temperature of the room was, and it said it was 71.6 . . . and it felt like it. I knew it wasnt anywhere near 60, but Vornado did. So I had to turn it down to 45 to get it to stay on. So the auto-on and auto-off features are really useless. 3) The lights on the front of the unit do dim as it says they do, except for the power light which is basically a beacon in a very dark room. I found that really annoying. I put a piece of black gaffers tape over it to fix it — still something I dont think I should have had to do. 4) The worst thing about this unit was that after less than a week of use, it began emitting a constant, high-pitched squeal. Even though it wasnt super loud, it was absolutely unbearable being so close to my head at night. Im sure it just needs some grease or WD-40, but I wasnt about to start haphazardly spraying WD-40 around the inside and probably voiding my warranty — also I shouldnt need to do that after a week. Come on, Vornado. So I decided to return the unit because of the noise plus the other minor annoyances. Again — I just want to reiterate that there are no other fans that I recommend more than Vornado! But this particular unit is a miss. Im actually going to spending my long weekend this weekend making my own transom fan using server cooling fans between two pieces of thin plywood — should be nearly silent and move about twice the air on high as the Vornado.

> 3 dayThis is our second fan purchased. Love to bring the fresh night air in as long as possible and this product does a great job with several settings and a remote.

> 3 dayIve bought multiple fans to keep my room cool, but found that the air would just not go through my window. This changed that and its like I have a air conditioner in my room. It pushes a lot of air at the lowest setting and isnt too loud to be uncomfortable. Some cons is that the remotes battery for me was dead out of the box so that had to get replaced. Also, the touch buttons on the fan itself are a bit dull in recognizing a press. The bottom arrow for the temperature control for me will not register any presses. It was a good thing I got the remote working or it would be difficult to change the fan speed, etc. Id recommend this for someone who doesnt want to put a box fan on their window and want airflow from the window.

> 3 dayPut this fan in our bedroom a week ago and LOVE IT. Whisper quiet on low and moves plenty of air. Thermostat seems to work pretty well. Fan was off on the cold mornings and kicked back on when the outside temps warmed up. Since we have a first floor bedroom we wanted a fan you couldnt see through and this one is perfect. Highly Recommend.

> 3 dayI have a second story bedroom in a reasonably well insulated house. On bright sunshiny days the upstairs gets warm, later in the day. When the sun goes down, the bedroom remains warm for the first part of the night. This fan can exhaust the hot air, or bring in the significantly cooler air, making the room much more comfortable faster. The fan is very quiet and aesthetically it blends with the window. It Allows my motorized room darkening shade to operate automatically and keep the road dark and cool for the evening. It was a wonderful investment.
