I purchased this fan some time ago. Tried to use it a few times, but the windows were never the right size for a good fit. I am giving up on this fan and putting them in my garage.

I compared the features on this fan with many other brands/models before purchasing it. I was looking for a fan to control the output/input of the air without having to do it manually. There is also the option to draw in and push out air at the same time. I am very happy with this fan. It has high and low settings. It also has a type of thermostat which I don't use. The only downside I have found is that you cannot direct the air flow as the vents are not moveable. Another plus is that it can be freestanding, which is good because it is 25" wide and my windows are only 24" - my fault for not measuring first! I am very happy with this fan and would highly recommend it!

I was very disappointed with this fan. The motors are fairly powerful, but everything else...where to start. The sliding accordion panels on the sides are supposed to let you adjust the width to fit in your window. To put it simply, they don't work. They won't stay extended! There are screws that you can supposedly tighten to keep it in place, but they don't work and stripped out really easily when I tried to tighten them. And...screws? I have a $20 Holmes fan that, instead of making you mess around with screws has a simple plastic lock for the extenders that works perfectly. As for the actual fans, the motor on the left fan makes a rattling/clicking noise. And as for the controls, that $20 Holmes fan I mentioned above has completely independent controls for each side of the fan, including 3 separate speeds. This fan has 2 speeds, which cannot be set independently for each side. The fan also doesn't fit the window at all well. Aside from the issue with the accordion sides, the top and bottom don't seem to have been designed to fit into the window. Most window fans have a groove on the top, for example. This one doesn't. I'm sending this fan back. Would not buy again, and I urge you to steer clear as well. $40 ought to buy a much better fan than this!
