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

Poor fan power.

The fan is quiet and fairly good at generating an exhaust while it is superior at an intake of air. The remote works adequately well and is certainly not to large. I prefer to use the control on the console. The device can fit well, though it would be better if the blocks intended for use in filling out the window size were a bit more clear in the directions for their configuration. My suspicion is that those who report that there is a bad fit of these blocks have inserted them upside down or backwards, which is easy to do. A top arrow on the inner aspect (or the outer if people do not want to see an arrow) would be an assist so long as the package was clear on which side that arrow should face relative to the fan front. Beyond that, there is a consideration of use for these devices in a more temperate climate. The only thing near as bad that I can imagine for use of a fan such as this beyond a failed function altogether is the need to remove and replace the fan on a seasonal basis. The work involved in replacement and removal and the possible damage in storage are less than seasonal placement of a window air conditioner, but is still bad. I might have hoped that the company could have a fit face-plate available to act to cut any passive flow of cold air to the interior when the weather was inclement. If fitted with some foam and arranged to clip to the front as an add on accessory, this could allow the device to sit in place during colder periods without a need to remove and reinsert. I have made a rubber sheet shade to fit the front of the device with a cloth backing and fixed it to serve this function myself and the seal is very acceptable to make the device more appropriate for when a temperature plunge might occur. Given the nature of the volatility of weather fronts lately, a device like this could be useful to allow the device to be more serviceable, even if a temperature in South Carolina or Texas might plunge for a few days in an area unaccustomed to the alteration. Such events are far from unknown and the device left in place could make its locale in the house uncomfortably cold for a few days or require removal and replacement in a matter of a few days with marked inconvenience. Thought could be made for this simple fix.

I use this fan as a sort of economizer to cool during sping/fall months when outside air is low enough. I have attached FEIT smart plug and use automation to kill power when outside air rises above 75 F. It would be nice if settings were kept when power is killed and fan could return on, even better would be built in app / schedule functionality like a smart thermostat that could be programmed to turn off / on. Would be nice if fan sealed better when turned off. Outside air gets a little cool and even off with damper closed, it is leaking through. Appearance is good. Also some sort of insulated cover would be great, so fan doesnt have to be removed for winter / summer

Put 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.

Make Sure You measure your window:) I got mine to work but it is outside the replacement window with the window handle holding it, I have a screen so it placed well, good over all design, I think they went for quiet more than power. My old Holmes (they dont make the model anymore) was much more powerful, but much much louder. I use it for exhaust only, it does not pull smoke well, and Im 5 ft. away on level 4. We will see how long it lasts I do like the design.

This 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.

For the price its not worth it. If it wad 30,40 bucks sure.

On really hot days this will push around hot air, and will not cool down the room by itself. However, you can raise your AC by a few degrees to get cool air in and exhaust out hot air. Vice versa on normal and cooler days its a great way to circulate cool air in the room. By no means is it a standalone AC unit, but Vornado is the best in regards to a whole-room breeze and does great at bringing in fresh air. On a few occasions, it made a weird noise high pitched spinning not even a week old but it seems to have stopped. Note that the temperature sensor is also strange. It does not gauge the temperature to your preferred indoor setting. Its basically At what point is the air outside too cold to bring in? It does not try to get the room to the level you specify, and the temperature controls on Amazon are vague in that regard for what it actually did.

Id love to give this a stellar review. Does what it says, not a lot of noise. Cant complain too much, especially since theres very little on the market like this. Just want to put a few points in that made me give 3 stars instead of five. * Of the two units we bought, one was missing a remote * If you look at the picture, you can tell that the foam blocks arent the full height of the unit with the foam strip on top; bugs are going to get in. I dont know why they didnt make the blocks taller. Huge oversight. * The so-called weatherproofing isnt. You can see a lot of light filter through. You will have to take this out once it moves to colder temperatures. Otherwise, the UI is pretty good. My favorite is that the display turns off and the power light dims when in use, but no setttings changed. Very good at night when you dont want light distractions. I didnt think the noise was that much, especially compared to other window units Ive had. We did not have any problems with install. Keep the blocks close to your hand. I was easily able to hold on to the unit while I inserted the blocks. Maybe you need two people, but dont get scared off by the reviews saying its hard—you do have to force them in and thats actually good. We also used these on window frames made in 1910. All in all, great unit, assuming you get the remote and the blocks work for you.

I 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.
