> 24 hourWe have a 1925 one-and-a-half story cottage-style house with no air conditioning. Our Iowa nights can get really sticky, especially with the bedrooms right up against the roof line. I originally bought a pair of Bionaire Window Fan with Twin 8.5-Inch Reversible Airflow Blades and Remote Control - one for the front bedroom, one for the back bedroom. If you do a search for best window fan this one seems to be everyones favorite pick. However, the buttons make a loud beep, you have to cycle through the buttons to change the speed of the fan and the direction of the fans. Its nice to see the temperature display but its a bright red LCD. I only run the fans at night but Ive already had to replace one of fans fuses. Honestly, I wish I had found the Amazon Basics fan first. Fan speed is a standard off-high-med-low dial, fan reverses with a switch, and theres a built-in thermostat, but of the unmarked dial variety - all of which are SILENT! If I want to change the speed or direction of the fan in the middle of the night, Im not going to wake up my husband with a bunch of beep-beep-beeps and I dont have a bright red light shining in my face. Otherwise, both fans have the same fan volume but the Amazon Basics comes with little swing out legs so I can take it out of the window and use it as a box fan PLUS its lighter and less expensive. I also like the way the cord comes out of the fan - its got a little notch to keep the cord from getting mashed against the window sill. Im here to buy another two fans (so each bedroom has one) and then Ill put the Bonaire fans downstairs where the beeping and the lights wont matter so much. The more Amazon Basic products I buy, the more impressed I am with the price and quality.

> 24 hourThis fan is very easy to use, relatively quiet, fit in my bedroom window perfectly, and comes with a remote. Even though this is Amazon Basics brand, I have a feeling it’s actually made by Black and Decker cause the remote controls my Black and Decker stand up fan too. It really does help cool my bedroom a good 4 to 5 degrees more than the rest of the house by pulling the cooler air inside from outside.

> 24 hourFan is okay. Simple controls, very simple install. But, on high, it doesnt move nearly as much air as the older fan I bought it to replace. Its also a little louder than I anticipated. All right, but not great.

> 24 hourThis fan functions as described. It is not as feature rich as others. It is much louder than our previous fan on all settings, particularly low, which is where we use it most of the time in our living room. I was going to return it but missed the window by 2 or 3 days. I will not buy this fan again.

> 24 hourThis fan does pack some power! It also does it all… pull air in, pull air out… put in a window or use the legs to have it freestanding. Remote control as well. Excellent in every way.

> 24 hourThis is a great window fan. Being able to switch fan direction for each fan individually is nice. One downside, the adjustable sides dont extend very far and they want to close back in. Other than that, the fan works great.

> 24 hourWhat I liked about this fan is the the 2-fan design. It is easy to install in the window. What I really disliked about this fan is that it does not push out very much air. The quality of this fan in one word cheap. I should have been aware of this since it is an Amazon Basic product. This fan is very expensive for such a cheaply made product. I went ahead and returned this fan to Amazon. Went ahead and purchased the Genesis max.cool fan which is very similar with the 2 fan design and is much better quality with more features.
