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

So far, I've been very impressed with the fan (non-Alexa version). It does require a little bit of DIY to adjust for an excellent fit but that is to be expected. I did find that adding some 1" Black expandable foam weather-stripping helped with getting a great seal across the bottom of the window and the top of the unit. I did have to cut (with a bandsaw) one of the soft foam pieces to get the best fit possible which also was not a big deal. I was able to leave my window screen in place which helps keep bugs out while the unit is running or not. The remote works fine and the unit is very quiet. The build quality is very good. Some thoughts: This only blows outside air in or inside air out. It is NOT a window air conditioner. It also does not true "shutters" when turned off and therefore it likely should be removed during winter. I use this for my unheated garage to keep the heat rise down in this insulated space without running my mini-split when I'm not working in my garage. It uses less than 50W on high so I will leave it running all the time during spring/summer/fall with no issues expected. With a five year warranty, I expect the fan to last a good while. I would also highly recommend that you install window slide locks on both sides of the opened window to prevent bad guys from just opening the unlocked window and gaining access to your home.

I have nothing to say but good for this fan. I’ve only had it for a short time, but everything about it is super. I got the black one. It fit in the window perfect with a one inch spacer on each side. The remote works well and it is very quiet. I exhaust air out in the morning. My girlfriend and I smoke and it pulls the smoke out of the room very efficient. I might get another one to put in the bedroom. If I didn’t known it works as well as it does I would’ve got the Alexa remote so I can control it my voice. Right now I have nothing but good to say about this fan.

This Vornado transom window fan works for areas where you want light circulation without the heavy draft of a regular fan. I love the ability to switch from intake to exhaust with just a click of the remote. There are also temp settings, so if it cools down outside below your set temp, the fan shuts itself off. I do wish it was a bit more powerful; even on the highest setting, the noticeable breeze is only about 6 feet from the unit. The unit comes with two inserts to put at each end, so it's not just pulling air around itself. However, they do not fit tightly and may need to be readjusted from time to time. If your window is wider, you may need to supplement the inserts with something to close the gap, keep that in mind.

Easily installed (inside the screen) with plastic baffles of varying sizes that slip into the window well next to the unit for a custom fit. While not heavy, it's thoughtfully designed with molded hand-holds on either side right where you need them, so you can easily maneuver this in and out of the window. At only a few inches high, you can put a brace in the remaining window to give you more security. It looks nice, blocks much less light than a box fan or an air con, and pushes a strong corridor of air straight ahead - there are no directional louvers. Quiet as well, though not quite as quiet as a Dreo tower fan. It switches from intake to outflow (I believe the whole fan head rotates inside) in seconds. The cord is a decent length! The thermostat is a nice feature (?), but I would absolutely rather have what it's missing - a timer. It's great to have fresh air rather than that from a stale, noisy, heavy air con (and a nice option to central air on milder days). The internet thinks that using the exhaust can help pull humidity out of a room, and we'll try that on the next muggy day. The panel controls are simple; the remote is small, slippery and utterly losable (a small piece of velcro is included to help). We're giving this a five but would I mentally make it a 4.7 for lacking a timer. I'd imagine the Alexa-enabled one might have resolved this, but we thought +$30 extra was too much for that feature. So, just a few days in I recommend this fan. In my book it makes up for being a little more expensive by not being ugly or burdensome, and for being thoughtfully designed and quietly powerful. This has a variety of reviews, but Vornado actually printed inside the box "if anything's wrong, we'll make it right." - which is encouraging. It's still very new - we'll update review if anything changes, or it becomes noisy.

I was apprehensive of buying this item due to some reviews that related supposedly complex installation with foam blocks instead of the usual accordion pleats. I only use this at night to bring in cool fresh air and I didn't want to have to be wrestling with installation / removal on a daily basis. So glad I did not listen to the critics. Installation and removal are easy as pie put the unit in the window one block on each side close the window takes 20 seconds. I used to use the traditional dual window fan unit which was aggravatingly noisy and even on low provided too much of a Breeze across my bed. This unit is perfect. I can't even hear it on low and it actually provides more airflow than I want. The remote control is another nice feature allowing me to adjust how much air flow I desire while I'm in bed. The only thing that could be better is if the manufacturer had louvered ventilation exhaust so that I could angle it up over my bed instead of it blowing directly on me. Aside from that this Vornado transom is perfect. Have to say I've been impressed by every Vornado product I've ever bought especially their small efficient space heaters. Great company with great products!

I'm not sure where some of the bad reviews are coming from but if you understand how airflow works inside a room then you'll be fine. Air always needs a place to escape. Cracking another window, a door, or leaving the bottomside of your door unblocked will have this machine working as intended. If you fully insulate a room where no air escapes, this fan will be working against itself and will struggle to move air. Air pressure builds up, stopping new air from circulating. Tldr; This fan needs a proper way for air to escape since the cylindrical barrel style creates high pressure. Otherwise, the motor will have to work harder just to circulate air and can fail to do so due to buildup. For me it's strong, silent, and keeps a great low profile. I will update my review should I find the need to do so down the line. I highly recommend this fan!

Minor design or manufacturing issue which appears to be somewhat common based on the reviews... I received mine and I thought it was going to be perfect. Typical vertical vinyl window and this would fit perfectly in the opening. Anyway, I got it and turned it on to test before installing. One direction, it worked perfectly. Tried reversing the flow and TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK. This wasn't what I wanted. But because it seemed like the best option based on the window fans I found, I wanted to investigate a bit further. Upon disassembly and inspection, there is a bar (picture #1) on the rotating cage that hits the squirrel cage fan and makes the noise. For mine, it only does it in one direction. So to fix, I did the following: 1. Unplug the unit. Remove the 8 rubber caps and screws from the end caps. Remove the two end caps. 2. Remove the 6 screws on the bottom of the glossy white front panel and gently lift off the panel. 3. Remove the 6 exposed screws at the bottom of the unit and the 6 screws at the top (between the fins) 4. Gently separate the front and back. 5. Find the bar with a screw on both sides, you may need to rotate the fan assembly to bring it into view. 6. That bar is what is hitting, so I added a small washer on both sides to give it a bit more clearance. (Picture #2) 7. Spin the fan to make sure it's not hitting. Rotate the assembly and test again. Make sure you don't hear anything hit when spinning the fan by hand or rotating the assembly. 8. Reassemble and it should stop ticking. Power on and test both directions (in and out) Other thoughts: 1. The foam on the bottom was too wide for my window where I wanted to position it with the screen still installed. I sliced it so that it fit the vinyl frame of the window. (Picture #3) That allowed it to fit snugly into the window instead of being raised against it. Also, this bottom foam should extend the full width of the fan, not stopping an inch short of each side. While this wasn't much of an issue after slicing the foam so it'd fit into the window, it still leaves a bit of a gap. 2. The foam blocks are not ideal, but adding some double-stick tape between the blocks (once I figured out exactly how many to use) in order to keep them together seemed to help. 3. This doesn't NOT cut off the air when off. On a hot day, you'll feel hot air coming in and on a cool day, you'll find cool air coming in. I did make an insulation cover that attaches with velcro to help with this issue, but now it's starting to sound like I need a new hobby... Anyway, I liked the fan and it works well for me, but they should probably fix their manufacturing issue. The plastic bar tolerance should be improved so you don't have the clicking issue. Mine seemed slightly warped, but if the bar was prone to warping, additional clearance should have been added so it doesn't click during normal usage out of the box. Maybe it was just mine, but I saw this comment in other reviews. With some work, I got it fitting perfectly, but it has to be removed due to air leakage at certain times of the year. Remote was great and everything else seems fine. Understand that there are a limited number of blocks included, so it'll only fit windows of a certain width. There is NO screen on it, so I left my screen in, thus the installation issue. I fixed that by cutting the foam at the bottom (Picture #3) so that it'd sit in the window without taking out the screen. Good luck! It's been removed for the winter as it just lets in way too much cold air. It may not be as simple as advertised, but it's definitely workable if you want to spend the time fitting it and hopefully you don't have the clicking issue I did.

It works in the sense that it moves air but does it actually work as an exhaust fan when run in reverse? NOPE. It only has 4 speeds and on the highest setting in a 20x25 ft room it barely touched the smoke. I lit a piece of paper on fire and blew it out ((ike I've done in commercial kitchens testing the "hoods" aka exhaust ducts) and the smoke still went straight up. THEN I did it again with a window open opposite the fan with my smoke test directly between the 2 windows and still the smoke didnt go toward the fan. For this price I was hoping for a little more. The ONLY positive things about this product are: 1 how slim it is; 2 the bug guard (mesh) it has over the vents; 3 the rubber pieces for around the frame and the fan. When the cool night air comes and I use the fan to blow air into the house, the fan works decently (again, only goes to 4 so its not super strong) it did cool off that 20x25 room but hasn't worked for anything bigger.

Precio justo por la calidad del equipo excelente desempeño con muy buenos resultados

Awesome intake/exhaust fan that works really well. It is smaller than the other fans. Temperature control is a hit and miss but good enough.

This a wonderful window fan. It is self contained and weatherproof and as such it it remains in my window for the spring-summer-fall duration. It can pull air out of your room or bring air in and has a temperature control for when things cool off at night. The remote works well and the unit moves a large volume of air quietly. I have had this unit for just over three years and found it utterly reliable. The complete lit comes with solid foam inserts for sealing to a window. In my case they had included two 1" inserts and it fir a 27" window perfectly. Install takes a few minutes. Highly recommended.

logra extraer el aire del cuarto, solo queda ver cuanto dura funcionando por bastante tiempo.

I love this unit! Very light white noise, super efficient at bringing in cool night or morning air or exhausting the heat of the day from a room that has poor air circulation. I run it 24/7. I will likely get another one. Sure beats the cost of running an air conditioner. On cool air intake, you get a wide strong flow of fresh air even on low setting. I haven’t used the remote but the digital panel is simple to use.
