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

I mis-read the width, this unit is wider than my window by two inches, as I measured the wrong area. Anyhow, using the the included foam blocks to fill under the unit it all fit perfectly to fill the gaps. The unit simply sits on the window ledge, flush to the surface of the window opening. A few small bungee cords attached to scews (picture frame anchors) it easily holds the unit in place with no movement. With this placement, I can even pull the whole unit sightly forward and close the window behind it with the bungee cords. It Works fine.. its quiet, but not silent. I've had quieter fans. Air flow is good, but Static pressure seems to be low, anything blocking airflow like a closed door greatly drops its ability to move air. Crossflow fans like this are effecient, but lack a strong ability to push air through restrictions or into closed rooms.

This fan is awesome. It was easy to install vertically in my bedroom window. I love that the flow can be reversed with a simple push of a button. The remote is also a great feature. Even at the lowest speed, there is significant airflow and it is very quiet. Perfect for sleeping. I would definitely recommend this fan.

Recommended by Wirecutter. Has a handy remote, fan can either blow air in or out. I only use the remote to control the fan because otherwise the temperature setting tends to activate and it won't turn on unless it is above a certain temperature.

Nice design and fits very well into my window. I like that it closes when off so I don't have to remove it from the window when a/c is on. Slightly disappointed with the "turbo" speed. I would have expected more airflow. Good design and controls are easy to use. Remote works great. I just got it yesterday based on the current reviews so I will see how it goes and lasts.

I needed something to pull in the 50-60° air outside at night to cool my tiny efficiency apartment, which gets into the 70s at night without AC. There's a window AC unit in the only window, but it won't blow cold air if the outdoor temps are below 60°, so I end up sweating all night even though it's chilly outside. I decided to buy this window fan. I've never used a window fan before, having just moved from a climate where every home has central HVAC, so this is a new experience for me. I have other products from Vornado that I like a lot, and I liked the low profile on this fan and the weatherproofness of it. I also liked that it seemed like it would let in less outdoor noise than the more standard types of window fans you see with the big slats between the grates. So I chose this model for my first window fan. That was a mistake. As I write this, it's after midnight, and the outdoor temp is 61°. Yet here I sit with this fan having been running for hours, and it's 70° in my room. The output on this thing is a JOKE. At the highest speed, it feels like a faint wisp for maybe about a foot from the machine, and then nothing. How on earth is this circulating air if it's barely blowing? I triple checked that it's set to pull in air from outside and not set to exhaust, and the it's on the highest setting. It's definitely set correctly. It's just expensive junk. I can't actually detect any difference between the settings in terms of how hard it blows, but the highest one is not even as strong as a battery powered desk fan. It doesn't even move paper if you hold paper up in front of it. All it's doing is pulling in the humidity from outside and that's it. My room is actually the same temp as just having nothing at all in the window. In fact, hotter, bc with nothing in the window I can get it down to 68° in here if it's cool enough outside. I've got four fans running in addition to this one just to try and get through the night while I wait for a fan to get here that actually works. Then I'm returning this piece of trash. The only thing it does that it advertises is that it's quiet. Probably bc it's not doing much of anything. Idk who is writing these other reviews saying how powerful it is and how much air it moves. Are mosquitoes writing these reviews? Actually I don't even think a mosquito would find this wind current to be strong. Ugh
