Vornado TRANSOM Window Fan with 4 Speeds, Remote Control, Reversible Exhaust Mode, Weather Resistant Case, Black, Whole Room

Poor fan power.

product came in a neat package, instllation was a breeze, but there were a few hole/gaps that needed to be plugged.. good thing i had a window seal handy. after instllation it was time to start it, turned of and worked great in manual mode. but the thermostat mode is poorly designed. I bought it cuz my heat is controlled by landlord central AC and everyone in the house likes it hot and I like it cold, so bought this, but this thermostat ispoorly placed and records the temps poorly. its 75 at my desk but the thermostat says its 53 at the window. clearly the poor implementation issue. the fan body itself since its half outside in the freezing colds of east coast must be freezing and this is throwing the thermostat off.... so my 2 cents to the manufacterers is 1. Please design the next version to be compatible with remote temp sensor. 2. Please improve the insulation cuz I can feel lite breeze/ chill ness when near the fan. which clearly means its leaking cold air from outside to inside.

Well designed, wake me up quiet and efficient cools down room quickly.

I bought this about 2 years ago and its still going strong. My upstairs neighbors would always smoke cigarettes, marijuana, and other chemicals that would seep into and stink up my small apartment and make me nauseous. I would try opening all my windows, sealing vents, and running fans, but it never helped. After researching net airflow, it seemed that my apartment always had a negative airflow and was more likey to attract air. I figured that maybe I need a good intake fan to create a positive airflow. I bought this without checking dimensions carefully, but it wedges perfectly in a vertical orientation one of my windows (after modifying the adhesive foam strip location). I know the vertical orientation is supposedly not supported, but all the windows here slide horizontally. After two years, the intake mode is still able to create a strong positive air flow that completely keeps the smelly neighbor fumes out.

I tried both android&ios no joy. AE is not worth the extra money. The insulation foam blocks dont squish enough to fit in the groove of the window. But they can be trimmed with a sharp blade painfully bit by bit The fan itself is as quiet as a bathroom fan.

This is idiotic. Ive purchased many items that work with alexa or work with google home but they always, ALWAYS have an option to use their own app (iHealths bp app, LG Thinq, etc). So why do I have to use stupid Alexa? Also where the hell is the remote control? Are you seriously not including a remote because Alexa takes care of that instead ? Holy cow what a joke! It seems to work just fine. Doesnt go as far as most Vornado fans (usually like a spotlight or an air cannon), but it s strong enough to pull bathroom, food, and other smells out of the apartment. The foam rubber pieces are a nice change from the usual window fan plastic plates and accordions (which I usually have to modify with cardboard and packing tape anyway). Touch controls are neat looking, but they disappear as soon as youre done with them, and you have to tap them back on, then use them. Why? To save 0.00004 watts of electricity? The whole reason I bought this was to install it at the TOP (not the bottom) of the window, as to pull the bad smells up and away, as well as to avoid pulling the cold air conditioner air right outside seconds after its created. I was HOPING to use some remote software THAT ISNT ALEXA to turn it back on if theres a power failure. However to install this up there, Id have to use alexa, or keep a ladder handy. If I knew the remote was NOT INCLUDED, I would have just bought the regular remote one. If you dont like alexa, DO NOT BUY THIS.

I live in an area that AC is not normal. But my bedroom is upstairs so on any sunny day the room is hot, summer, unbearable. I have always used the double window fans you get at the local hardware store, and they are better than nothing, but basically worthless, not too mention loud. I stumbled on this, I read the reviews, found them to be mixed, but decided to pull the trigger anyway. It is pretty spendy, but I have to say, I believe it was worth every penny. I love the lower profile, and the air blows deep into the room, unlike the others that seem to not make it much past about a foot. The sound on its highest level (4) is whisper quiet. I get real air draw on the out, and it flips with a double tap of the remote. I do not use the temp control. Now, while I give it 5 stars, and I recommend it, and love it, there is a design flaw, and that is in the foam blocks for getting a seal around it. I def had to mcgyver it a bit. They are basically stupid, but better than nothing. There are several reviews that discuss them, and honestly, they are not wrong. However, dont let it deter you from a great fan.

The airflow is great. Keeps the air moving and has been a great help for both me and my cat (we’ve got allergies). The design is great as it fits in the window nicely as a small sliver, so I don’t have to open the window very wide. This is great because I have a first floor apartment right next to the sidewalk, so this helps with privacy. Win! The remote is awful. Whoever designed the remote cannot be the same people who designed the fan. The remote has to be taken apart with a screwdriver to change or adjust the battery. No screw, no battery contact. It’s a small, pain in the butt detail which causes more wasted time and effort. Example: the remote rarely works. Ever. Why not? I unscrewed and removed the backing. The contact wasn’t making full contact with the battery. I nudged it over. Screwed the screw back in (basically stripping it in the process). Ok, great! It works well now. Half a day later it’s back to working when it wants to. I have to push most buttons on that thing at least 3 or 4 times directly in front of the fan to get it to accept my input. So why use the remote? Because it’s somehow easier than the really bad touch-panel display. I work in tech and am in no way a technophobe, but like, just give me physical buttons. Something that actually makes the user experience easier. All in all I am happy with the fan, but the controls are garbage.

It automatically connected to my Alexa and always work since then

The shims used to hold in window are worthless at best, fan works as advertised make sure you have a screened in window alot of gaps.
