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

This fan works very very well. It is quite quiet and very powerful. I installed it vertically because my windows slide horizontally and it works just fine. Love the product really helps me draw in the cold air from my air conditioner in the other room to my bedroom.

The Vornado TRANSOM is easily the most powerful and elegant window fan I have ever had the honor of seeing or using; while being surprisingly quiet AND weather resistant! As someone who sleeps hot at night, the strong, low height wind generated by the TRANSOM helps keep me nice and cool. Family and friends have also mentioned how much cooler my room feels now in comparison to the rest of the apartment while it is running. I absolutely LOVE it! The unit is pleasantly lightweight despite its size, and installation required no effort once I figured out the correct orientation for the included foam blocks (the manual doesn't specify, so it took a little bit of trial and error). My only real complaints are that the unit lacks of any kind of built-in rear mesh or screen to keep mosquitoes and the occasional carpenter bee out (this is something I'd love to see added in future models or revisions along with an even more powerful speed setting), and that the touch (and even remote) controls can be a little unresponsive at times (I would've preferred physical buttons). The manual states to keep the window screen installed for that very reason but doing so is impossible on the apartment's thin to average size windows (as shown in photos). Overall, I'd HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants a powerful window unit without the hassles of installing an air conditioner, or the noise of a box fan. I can't wait to see what future generations of the TRANSOM product line have in store if the first gen is THIS good!

I love the slim design that doesn't block the view out the window. No need to remove it during a rainstorm, when it rains simply turn unit off and it closes. I haven't ever had any water issues or damage from leaving it in the window. This is my second purchase I loved the first so much. Love the reversing airflow control! I have one in the front of my house and one in the back of my house. Great whole home air circulation having one blowing in one end of the house and the other blowing out. Runs very quietly! Excellent as an exhaust fan. I love everything except the regular cleaning of the window screens. It's tedious but necessary to keep the air flowing.

This is the greatest little window air conditioner/fan. It has a reverse option that if your room gets hot and stuffy and feels like it has humidity in it, you reverse that fan and it pulls everything out and it actually causes your room off then at night when you want a nice breeze in your room to be chill, you flip that reverse and turn it back on to where it's blowing air into the room best invention ever.

Love these for the great grand kids bunk bed

I love it and would buy another and let people know that it's better than I thought it would be

As other reviewers have mentioned, the installation is lacking. This fan could have EASILY been engineered to fit a far wider variety of windows. Lazy and shame on Vornado. First, the instructions recommend keeping the screen on and ensuring the foam on the bottom of the unit seats securing in the bottom window casing. You can see in my picture that my window's design does not allow that. In order to keep the screen on (which I want to do), I must rest the bottom of the unit in front of the bottom casing. (Not to mention, if I had the space to seat the device in the bottom casing, the base of the foam blocks is too deep to fit in it well and too tall to prevent any gaps.) This is not a big deal, but it wouldn't have taken much change in design to accommodate windows like this. Second, also in the pictures, you can see that the bottoms of the device itself as well as the foam pads doesn't extend fully to the sides of the device and foam pads. This leaves gaps of sunlight / air (if you didn't have a screen) between them. Why didn't Vornado just extend them fully to the sides? That would have closed up those gaps. <facepalm> Third, the foam pads are WAY too stiff. I could barely squeeze in the last one to fill the final gap. I only had to compress it maybe an eighth of an inch, and that was ridiculously difficult for something like this. They could be made quite a bit softer and then be able to serve their function AND be easily installed (as well as allow for more differences in window widths as I cannot imagine if I had to compress the smallest one to half its original size, which could easily occur with an unfortunate alignment between window width and device / foam block widths). I included pictures of the gaps at the top, as well. However, if I had been able to seat the device back in the casing as instructed, those would have been closed. I only tested the fan briefly. All the modes worked. Its sound level was better than the twin blade style, though I do feel it moves less air. However, for my purposes, that is fine, as I wanted to switch to this style to block sunlight coming in in the mornings. Overall, it seems like a decent fan, so long as your intention for it matches its abilities (as I mentioned - it doesn't put through as much air as the twin blade types). It's easy to operate. The features all work. It does "close" when not on (though there still is a little gap). It's just unfortunate such little tweaks that could have made it far more versatile were not implemented. Worth $100? Probably not, unless you REALLY want a fan that doesn't let so much light in. If you want better air flow, save the money and get a twin blade. If you want the low profile for whatever reason, this still gets the job done.

Quiet. Looks good. Closes the outside vents when turned off to keep bugs out. Does not move as much air as I expected though. So only 4 stars.

The product was shipped in very large box with no packaging around the product box. See photo's. The unit didn't fit my window like described and the foam blocks for the side trim were completely useless. l got it into my window and it seems to be working fine. Cardboard and duct tape fixed any problems. It was basically a guessing game because there was no instructions or anything else provided. I like that it has the remote control and seems to be working fine.

It is not as powerful as I expected
