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

I purchased this fan to place in our front window in our dining area. I needed something to help move air at night and before it gets too hot during the day. As far as looks go, the fan is fine. It looks okay and is easy to setup. It comes full assembled. There is no battery included for the remote, so make sure you have some AAA batteries available. The fan runs; however, Im not sure how much it actually works. On the highest setting, you have to be about 1ft from the fan to feel any air at all. I didnt expect it to be a big air moved; however, I expected it would at least do something. As far as the sound goes, its not super loud on the highest setting. Once you turn it down; however, it makes a very odd sound. Its kind of like a high pitched, metal on metal sound. It only gets louder when you go to the lowest setting. One other annoyance is that there is no memory on your settings. When you turn the fan on, it automatically goes to the vent setting. You have to cycle it to pull air in. At this point, I just look at it as a wasted purchase. I dont want to deal with returning it as most places are already out of stock on window fans. The search will just have to continue for me to find something better.

Well... It pulls and blows air... But its high setting isnt all that powerful. On the plus side, its high setting is still whisper quiet... Partly why it isnt so powerful with the push/pull of air to begin with. Without manual on/off power switch or settings memory it cant be integrated into a smart home via smart plug. But the remote works nicely despite how antiquated the remote looks/feels. The IR functionality at least allows my smart home to utilize my IR blaster to on/off the unit, but due to cycle- modes functionality, it cant set the mode I want... (Suck cool night air into the room, since it defaults upon power to blow air out.) Overall not bad, but any mode under max setting creates a relatively loud motor hum that ironically makes the highest mode the quietest! *Shrug* probably better off with a big box stores special.

Buen producto

The high speed is pretty low compared to another brand I bought a year ago. I can’t remember the other brand was I got.

The fan blades themselves could be larger. They made the openings look big, but in the picture you can see they should be bigger. Id like more airflow and the bigger blades would help. That or higher RPM for the blades or more of a twist to the blades to push more air. Weve only used it one night so far. Otherwise, the build is reasonable, its light, the pull-out extensions are nice compared to the old clip-on style. It has a manual thermostat, and it works. Id actually prefer it without the thermostat so there would be fewer things that could fail. This is why I purchased a Non-Digital version, we had the electronics to haywire on another brand.

Trabaja bien y el ruido casi no lo notas

Shockingly cheap looking fan, but it runs very quietly. Heres hoping it lasts more than a minute and a half. BTW, there is no way to lock the accordion expansion wings into place when you pull them out, so they just suck right back in once you place the fan in the window. UPDATE: weve had the fan roughly 3 weeks now. It moves air but not a lot of it; even on the highest setting. Heres my biggest issue and why I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this fan and Im changing my rating...when you turn the fan off, (this is the fan with a remote), it resets all the settings. So, if you have it set to blow air IN the room from the outside when you turn it off, when you turn it back on, it will be drawing air OUT. HARD STOP. I could not figure out what was going on and why there was no breeze coming in through the window. It had reset itself to draw out. It does this every time you turn it off. I will be returning it.

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.

Living in the Sierras we dont have AC. With things heating up, we bought three of these and use them to bring cool air in downstairs and expel hot air upstairs. We keep them on high and one is in the bedroom. Anyone complaining about the sound is really, really sensitive and should probably be sleeping in an underground vault. These work great, are really affordable and are quiet.

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.
