Amazon Basics Window Fan with Manual Controls, Twin 9-Inch Blades

THis fan is plastic mostly but I wanted to put it in my detached garage to circulate some air in the summer and it is very damp there so it is perfect for what I need. May not last as long but wont rust as quickly either.

I have had a few window fans before. So when I got this one, I really didn’t expect much difference. But I was surprised at how quiet this one was. Moves the air great and easy to sleep in the same room with.

I got the fancy digital one. It is a fan. It has feets to use on any flat surface outside the window. The feet really add to the versatility factor. Its also surprisingly heavy/solid. Probably a good thing since it sort of will live much of its life hanging in a window. The fan doesnt remember your preferred settings. When turned on, the fan thinks you want to push air out of (not into) your house. Kind of annoying, but you only need to push a button to get the settings you want. But, it has kept me nice and cool on a hot day when I really, really needed a fan.

The digital thermostat is a joke. The other night inside was around 78 and outside near 60. I put the thermostat to 65 and went to bed. Hoping once the room temp. Reaches 65 the fan will turn off and room wont get too cold. To my surprise the fan stopped in less than a minute since it was pulling less than 65 ! One of the pull out adjusting shutters was stock out of the box. And the other one doesnt stay open and keeps pulling back in.

It works fine, but the controls were difficult to understand. Also, the fan starts out in exhaust mode when you turn it on, so we have to switch the fan direction every time we turn it on. To turn the fan on, you have to cycle through the fan speeds, so it is not obvious that is how it is turned on.

I returned this window fan as the power was quite weak, even on high it barely moved any air. Not recommended.

Installed it this morning and found two annoying things about it: 1) at the low and medium fan settings it emits an rather loud hum that makes me not want to use those two settings, and 2) it doesnt work all that well at the top of the window (upper sash) due to the control panel being slightly crowned and not on the same plane with the top of the unit. On HIGH the hum disappears but the fan noise is more than I would want on a regular basis. Overall an OK unit but not quite what I was hoping for.

This is a good solid fan. Doesn’t make much noise. Push’s air in or out with 3 different speeds. No issues so far.

It’s ok not strong enough

Tun it slightly down and it turns off.
