I bought this window fan from Walmart and I love it. I live in a one bedroom apartment and my bedroom would not cool off. I placed the fan in my window (only took less then 5 mins)and let it run on exhaust for 2 hours while I watched TV and ate dinner. When I went to bed two hours later I switched it to intake mode. It is hot in Sacramento, CA during the day but cools off at night. I was able to use the fan to pull the cool air in and it worked great. It is easy to work and very quite...I would recommed this product to anyone that has a had time getting hot or cold air moving.

Very little air flow

I'm returning this fan ASAP! It creates very little air flow/breeze & it isn't powerful at all. You'd be better off with a $10 box fan. I would NOT recommend this fan.

Quiet and Efficent

I have Central Air in my house that is not "zoned" and even the best systems are not energy efficient to run regularly. I only turn it on during the hottest days. So, I bought this fan to use in my bedroom at night. I am one of those folks who is always HOT. I was very surprised at how well this little unit cooled my room. It works especially well if you have two or more windows in the room you use it in. Setting both blades to "exhaust" while the other window is open causes all the cool night air to be sucked right in.. It also works well with one blade set to "intake" and the other to "exhaust." Lastly, as a smoker I can say that it removes most of the smoke and stale odors in the room when used regularly. This unit is thin so the screen can remain down during operation. Easy to install and operate.

okay fan

I purchased this fan because I enjoy having my window open and bringing fresh air in from outside in the evening. It's a nice fan. I only have 2 issues with it:
1st--It doesn't pull the air in very strongly.
2nd--Turning it on & off can be annoying. You have to go thur the complete cycle of high then all the temperatures then the low speed and then all the temperatures. Only after going thru all that will it shut off. A simple on/off button would have been nicer.

works great!

Bought this fan to cool a ridiculously warm bedroom & it works like a charm. Fits well in the vertical-slider window & the thermostat setting is a nice feature. Also was a great price.

Love this fan!!!

Great fan, thermostat really works

I ordered two of these and they work very well. They fit in the window perfectly, and the cord is long enough to reach the outlet. You don't have to turn the fan off to go from blowing in to blowing out, which is a plus.
The thermostat is a mixed blessing. It actually works, which means that while you are trying to sleep, you can hear the fan cycling. So instead of a constant hum, it's up and down and fast and slow. I recommend using the thermostat when the noise doesn't matter, but just leaving it ON when you're trying to sleep.

Good product but not value-for-money!

A good overall product - it's got a quiet operation - but i paid 45 bucks for this and I doubt if it's good value-for-money. I know similar products that sell for much less. Also, because it doesn't have a remote control for the price!

great sapce saver

take up NO space at all in a small room. and is an effective way to regulate temp. removes quickly and easily.

Good medium-duty fan

Easy to set up and easy to adjust. Won't cool off a whole single-story house (as I'd somehow hoped) but will cool off 1-2 adjacent rooms. I use it in the evenings once the outside air is cooler than the inside air. It works best if you put it in one window, with the window closed to the top, then open another window on the other side of the room. Then set it to exhaust to expel the hot inside air, and you'll feel the cooler air coming in through the open window. The room will be a few degrees cooler within 10 min. Not bad, especially for the low price.
