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

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 like the way this fan looks in the window. I like that it takes up less space than a typical window fan, by about 50%. Airflow is excellent, reversibility is convenient, and when it’s off, it closes the airflow to reduce draft. And the remote control is a must-have. Slick. The built-in thermostat appears to function well. The fan is not especially quiet. On the lowest setting, it’s loud enough to be distracting while trying to sleep, at ~4-5’ away. More than just “white noise“ but not super loud either. The controls are good, though not as intuitive as they could be. For example: - The up-and-down arrows are on the left and right side of the remote control ring. Placing them at the top and bottom would be more intuitive, particularly while you’re laying in bed in the dark. - Because the controls go into hibernation automatically, the first press of any button just reawakens the controls. So you need to press twice for any function.

I grabbed this after being interested in the smaller design and good reviews, as my Holmes dual window fan was old and falling apart, literally. However.. I am not that impressed with this. It was a pain to install, and I am waiting for it to eventually fall out of the window.. but DISCLAIMER... I live in a historic building in San Francisco, so I have old windows... is no slot for the fan to fit in., is just the wooden window ledge, and thats it.. drops right down to the exterior concrete ledge, Also, the bottom of the window isnt flat, it is angled for some reason, so it doesnt clamp down. I assume anyone with modern windows wont have an issue at all with this. It is a bit louder than I had expected, especially while on exhaust, it is actually a bit louder than my Holmes dual-window fan, as it makes like a rubbing type of sound when running, though it might go away...it is quiet, but enough to annoy me. I do voice-over and narration, so one of the selling points of this was being able to run it while recording, which I cant do with my current fan. I dont know if it will get picked up or not by my mic yet. The lowest fan speed also seems too strong. However, this is most likely from being used to the dual-fan, but the lowest setting on this fan is equal to the high setting on my holmes, so getting hit with a lot more air than used to.. which I am sure will be great in summer, but right now, I wish I could just turn the speed down a bit more. WHile exhaust is an option, it is a lot louder, and I assume that is from air blowing off the window ledge, as I have very long ledges. The temperature control is very accurate. As far as Alexa, it wouldnt sync via the barcode, had to hold down the power button until the light flashed, then it found it and connected, but since, it just says device unresponsive. I reset the fan (power and fan direction for 6 seconds) and connected it back to Alexa, which worked again, but then it right away went back to device unresponsive...

This is half an inch too wide for my windows which I realize is not a flaw exactly but... why? Even 12,000 BTU air conditioners usually top out at 24” wide but this little fan is 26. Many pre-war homes have smaller windows so theyre leaving out a lot of potential customers. I ended up buying the Sharper Image one but their newer model is also 26” so I guess Im out of luck if and when it breaks.

I really like the slim design. But I was disappointed with how little air this fan moves compared to the more typical (and uglier) window units with two round fans—even at the max speed setting (4). I use it at night to cool down the room when the outside temperature drops, but its not working very well ... not surprising given how little air it pushes. It is also louder than I was expecting, with a bit of a clicking/whirring sound—even at the lowest speed setting (1). Once again, louder and more annoying than the white noise from the typical 2-round fan models. In summary: + great looks/design - does not move much air, not great for cooling even a small room - noisier than traditional window fans I am quite disappointed because I really wanted to like this product ... perhaps I received a faulty unit.

It compliments the room. It runs quietly. It is perfect for my needs.

I recently started sublimation as a new craft. The fumes are not healthy and I needed a good way to exhaust right at the table where the sub ink is being heated. This fan is perfect for that. It fits in the bottom of the window where I have my heat press. A caveat is that it is not airtight. As my craft room gets the hottest of the afternoon summer sun and we air condition the rest of the house, this was not a good thing. The foam spacers they provide do a decent job but, in my window anyway, they would possibly let in small insects as well as heat. This is not a problem for me, as the fan is simple to install and remove and I just do such when I am ready to sublimate. If your house is not air conditioned, then it would be a simple thing to use foam board or something similar to cover the small gaps between the foam spacers to keep insects out. It all depends on your situation and what you want it to do. Its a nice little fan. I do not regret the purchase. ;-)

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.

We are using the fan in an older storm type enclosure, that is in between the living room and a glassed in patio, so I knew I would have to get creative to install the fan. But after experiencing the comically bad blocks this comes with I fully understand what others here are griping about. Those blocks will only fit in a very specific type of window frame, and even then Im not convinced theyll do much better then a mediocre job at sealing. As seen in my photo, I actually removed the pane of glass and replaced it with plexiglass that I could cut around the fan, which worked out being awesome. It just baffles me how so much thought and consideration could go into designing this product and then them utterly fail on the fitting for various window sizes. But what can ya do, the fan is by far the best, quietest, most volume, air mover Ive seen. The only improvements I see room for is the blocks system of course, and beyond that I really wish it had WiFi support. Seems a real shame they left that feature off. But anyway, yes, Id recommend with one caveat, that you be prepared to figure out an alternative way of fitting it into your window sealed.

It automatically connected to my Alexa and always work since then
