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

I bought my daughter one last year, and she loves it, so i got myself one this year. With rising electricity costs, I need something for summer nights, to use AC way less . It is quiet and works sufficient for my nighttime cooling needs( at least until we hit triple digits in So Cal :-))

Easy for me to install. Wanted fan I could put in window and leave in place for season. I use it to bring in cool air at night and turn off and close house during heat of day, sometimes run portable AC in day if needed. This fan closes when it’s off to block most of outside air (will see how much heat is actually transferred when days get warmer but we had some nights in low 50s when I didn’t run fan and my room temperature stayed the same overnight so unwanted cooler air did not seem to be coming in). Also I have it installed in my bedroom, and like the privacy of not being able to see through the fan from the outside when it is off or operating. Ever since I installed the fan our weather has turned cool so haven’t needed to use it. I did turn it on a couple of nights for a few minutes on low speed just to try it, and it did lower the temperature of room and seemed to be circulating the air well.

I’m in an apartment, in a tiny town, with only a window unit in the front room and no way to get air to the back (down a hall) where my bedroom is. It is often much cooler outside than in my apartment, all night. This fan was meant to help me sleep at night, bringing in the cool air when there is zero breeze outside. First night, it was so quiet and the room cooled off so well, I got one of the best nights of rest in over a month. By day 2 it seemed louder, but I thought no way…by day 7 I couldn’t leave it on while I tried to sleep. And now a month later, I can only turn it on in the hours before I go to bed, with the door almost shut because it’s almost louder than i can reasonably put my tv. I am quite disappointed, and grateful for winter(my least favorite time to live in colorado) I’m a student in an intense program, I’m stressed and tired anyways, but this fan caused a couple sleepless nights that I just can’t afford mentally or physically. I’d return if I could, as it is, it’ll go in the trash in 7months when I graduate and go back home.

I was afraid of getting this unit and having to return it based on other reviews, but my fears were unfounded. Installation was so smooth, quick and easy. The unit works silently, and uses so little power that I have it running 24 hours a day. Its been raining a lot in CA, but my unit fits behind the screen, and there is no evidence of any water coming in while still running all day and night. The only problem may be that the thermostat does not go below 60 degrees and it has been a lot colder that that, so I just leave it on manual so it runs all the time. I am very pleased and happy with this unit.

small studio apartment now has amazing airflow due to this fan. both modes work well. this is not a replacement for an AC or a powerful fan. but it changed the air in my apartment and i just feel fresher with this thing running . but knowing how powerful it is which isnt much , this may not have desired effect in a larger enviroment.

We have a room dedicated to fur babies and needed an air freshener solution without the chemicals. This was the simplest solution. Quiet and simple to operate, fits in a single window with filler pieces. Awesome.

Let 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.

My home office also houses my home server, multiple NAS devices, and a 3d printer. It runs about 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house and I’ve used a window fan for years. My old traditional window fan started rattling (assuming a bearing is going out) and I found this. I wavered between the remote and Alexa version but ultimately decided on the Alexa version. It’s been really nice to be able to change the settings via voice and it’s been rock solid for both exhaust and direct mode.

Not the greatest breeze but definitely cools down around I have a 36-in window so the fact that it comes with fittings to go up to 40 in was great My room is never been so cool

I always sleep with a fan on but wanted one that would blow air across the bed. This fan checked a lot of boxes for me including low noise, fit in the window, blowing air right across the bed at the right level and the remote at 3 am is nice. The unit is a little pricey and if there is any one thing going against it, it is the price. Function-wise, I’m happy with the purchase. It is super easy to install. Just sit it in the window frame, lower the window onto the unit, plug it in and you’re done. They also provide some insulated spacers to give a secure fit. The noise level from the fan is not bad. I havent had any problem sleeping because of the noise but its not super quiet either. Overall, its a good fan if you are looking for a window fan but it is not worth the price in my opinion.
