Customer Review: The only fan for my window
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in an upstairs apartment with very small windows in the bedrooms. In the summer, it can be over 10 degrees hotter in the apartment than it is outside. I shopped around extensively for a duel fan that would fit in our 13.5" window frames. Almost every other brand is at least 14". This fan fits in the window perfectly! Each fan has independent controls, so that they can be set at different speeds, turned on or off independently, and set so that one intakes and one exhausts to circulate the air. Both fans can do either intake or exhaust. There is also a rotatable grate in front of each fan to direct the air flow. It has a thermostat which will turn off the fans when the desired temperature is reached and back on when the room gets too warm again. I bought my first one almost four years ago, and it stayed in the window constantly from late spring through fall. I let the thermostat keep the animals cool while I was away without having to worry that they would get too cold. After four years of faithful service, the right side fan is beginning to squeak a bit, but it still runs fine. I purchased my second fan last year, and it comes with a bracket that you can screw into the window casing which will allow the fan to be hung sideways in the window, allowing the accordion-style side panels to close off the gaps in Chicago-style windows that one of the other reviewers complained about. I'm so happy with this fan that it is already on my wish list again so I can put one in the other window!Customer Review: not your fathers window fan...
Summary: 3 Stars
I owned this exact fan back in new york about 10 years ago. Hands down best fan ever, cant beat it, lasted until i moved to Fl. Took as little as i could on the move and gave away. searched online and OMG there it was the exact same wonderful fan i wish i never got rid of. Ordered it instantly...
But when i got it, although it looks identical, it is not anywhere near the quality of my old fan, which in a picture you could not tell the difference. But while this fan works great, I know it will not last long. The new fan is very light weight plastic, everything was now done on the cheap, the controls, the side slide outs, the fan blades. Everything is very thin light weight plastic and cheap and does not have the power of old fan or the option to NOT use in a window like the old one(came with snap on feet, not this one).
While yes this is still by far the best fan out there because of its options... I just hope i dont have to replace every few years.....
Cant beat the independent options, each fan is independent of the other and you can switch intake to exhaust without turning the fan around, i put it in the window and leave it all winter in fl.
STILL GREAT FAN.....
Customer Review: Stopped working after three weeks
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of these units three weeks ago. One of them started having a problem with the right fan, making noise. The left fan was nice and quiet. I ignored the noise until one day I finally shut off the right fan. A few days later, I turned it back on and it completely seized up. When wind passed through it, it helped to kick start it, but I knew something was wrong with it. I left it off again for a while, turned it back on and it wouldnt start, but made an AC humming noise. I didnt want to risk a fire, so I just took the whole unit out of the window and threw it away. I already threw away the box when I first got it, so I couldn't return it for an exchange or a refund. Im not saying they are bad fans, just hit and miss, I guess. Buy at your own risk. The other unit I bought is still working great. Keep the box in case you find that it doesnt work after a few weeks. Im going to order this same honeywell unit as a replacement. Maybe I will go with the more expensive one. Higher quality, maybe? I cant tell the difference between this one and the higher priced one.Customer Review: Powerful and Easy to Set Up but with Two unfortunate Issues
Summary: 4 Stars
This fan is great, and all the reviews have accurately described its positive attributes. It's powerful, not too loud, and, so far, durable. It is more than adequate for ventilating a small bathroom, and my guess is that it could easily ventilate 100 or 200 square feet. The highest setting is vigorous. I'm using it for bathroom dehumidification and it's stellar.
Two minor issues: The fan, when off, allows quite a bit of airflow. I wish the fan offered a solution--something like --so that one could shutter it if one were heating the house and didn't want to lose it.
Second: The thermostat makes no sense. Maybe it's just me. It has a 'high' and 'low' with continuous increments, and the fan does turn on or off depending on the dials setting. But I don't understand whether it goes on if the temp goes above the setting or if the temp goes below the setting. Presumably, as it's nether strictly a heating nor cooling device, it should do either. As a result I just don't use this feature.
Customer Review: Order the $39.99 versus $29.99 Fan and Save S/H
Summary: 5 Stars
Fan works great. I used industrial strength Velcro to hold it up against my crank open type window/sill. Stays put and kicks out the cool air. There is a reverse on it so it will also blow out warm inside air to the outside.
There is a reviewer who said NO DIFF between the $29 and $39 Honeywell fan other than Target added model numbers to avoid match price checking. Order the Amazon $39.99 Honeywell fan with FREE SHIPPING because the 29.99 fan has a $10.47 S/H fee so the total is $42.26 for this $29.99 fan which you won't find out until the bitter end of filling out all the on-line screens. Target charges STATE TAX IN ANY STATE TARGET HAS A BRICK AND MORTAR STORE. Save time and money and order the $39.99 fan.
