Tools and Hardware Reviews of Window Fan
Customer Review: Well constructed fan. Relative Quiet.
Summary: 4 Stars
This fan works very well and is relatively quiet at low. I found the construction sturdy. The temperature control knob allows you to easily turn off both fans with a simple twist to a higher temperature. The front grills do come off for cleaning (though I wish the whole front came off). It's rain resistant -- another plus since I have it inserted in the storm window so that I can close the window if I want to.
Two construction problems: the extensions do go out to 38" but will not hold -- they kept slipping back. I finally ended up shimming the extensions to get them to stay in place. Secondly, the tabs that lock to keep the extensions in place is on the outdoor side of the fan -- as someone else said, this is a definite design flaw. Fortunately, I have it installed on a first floor window where I could go outside to lock the tabs.
Customer Review: A gooe fan but not enough power for air evacuation....
Summary: 3 Stars
This a well built fan, the controls are excellent, and the feature of being able to remove the grill to clean it is INSPIRED! A can't-do-without feature. But it's a underpowered as an exhaust fan. But you could pay a lot more for another fan that wouldn't be much better then this one.
I bought this fan because I smoke cigars, and wanted something to exhaust tobacco smoke out of the room. This might work for a small bedroom. The lack of ratings on wattage and air evacution in these window fans makes it difficult for the consumer to evaluate.
I'm not unhappy or don't think I'm cheated, because for the price, you can't beat this fan. But if for air evacuation of a medium to large room, look elsewhere.
Customer Review: Same Fan Less $5
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had two of these for a couple of years now and they work great in our bedrooms; during the day, they pull the cooler air from the front of the house to the back, and at night they pull in the cooler air from outside and keep the air circulating. They do make some noise, but nothing extreme. They're quieter than a box fan and are conveniently out of the way.
I see that people are wondering what the difference is between the Honeywell HW-628 and the Honeywell HW-628-TGT; the only difference is that Target (aka TGT), like many other retailers, adds to their part numbers so they can say "We'll match/beat anyone's price" - and then get out of it because the part numbers aren't the same.
Customer Review: Great Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be my favorite fan ever! Have cheaper models including Honeywell that work okay, but this is definitely quietest! I love it because it's so easy to position blades to direct the flow of air; the thermometer REALLY works on this model unlike on other fans I own; and with just the flip of a switch you can change one or both fans from exhaust to bringing the fresh air in. Also, although I definitely do NOT recommend it, I accidentally left my fan on during a severe rain storm and it got soaking wet, it continued to work throughout the storm and is still working. So, it is obviously very well made. I plan on replacing all of my other window fans with this model.Customer Review: Excellent fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these fans so much, I've purchased five! We live in San Diego, so don't need to use the AC, so these guys fit right in the window and bring in the cool night air. The only drawback is if you have narrow window ledges: it won't fit very well, but you can use the accordion pull-outs to help adjust. Luckily our home is older and our ledges are wide. We did have a very windy day recently and the fan blew out of the window onto the hard floor below. The plastic cracked a bit, but the fan still runs like a top! I highly recommend this brand. I've also used the exhaust feature when the kitchen grill got smoky and it cleared the room quickly.
