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

Works great and looks decently clean in the window. Took a while to figure out how to get it to fit in properly since the instruction manual doesnt explain much, but I eventually got it in properly and it works with the semi-permanent window screens in my apartment. Some criticism: Temp control seems only useful when its cold outside otherwise your room will never drop to the temp you set. There should be a timer for the warmer months when youll be using air conditioning. No timer also means you either run it the entire time youre not home or not at all. Not very useful as I smoke in my room. For some reason the foam on top of the fan doesnt span the entire length so you dont get a complete seal. I used some stick on foam strips to fill in those gaps. I also had to use tape on the sides since there is a slight gap. I like the foam blocks but every window is different so you cant always get the clean look. The remote that comes with it also works with the vornado tower fan I have, and the remote for that also works with this fan. To avoid them interfering I placed the fans on opposite sides of my bedroom. Seems like a silly problem to have with a brand like Vornado. Overall it works great for my needs. It doesnt take up too much vertical space like the ones with traditional fan blades. Ill probably buy another one if they make a new version with a timer.

Poor fan power.

I bought this fan to use in my apartment as an odor extractor for the time I cook. Its the best decision ever! I put it in my living room window, since I dont have one in the kitchen, I turn it on when I start cooking and it pushes all the food outdoors out. Fully recommend!

Id love to give this a stellar review. Does what it says, not a lot of noise. Cant complain too much, especially since theres very little on the market like this. Just want to put a few points in that made me give 3 stars instead of five. * Of the two units we bought, one was missing a remote * If you look at the picture, you can tell that the foam blocks arent the full height of the unit with the foam strip on top; bugs are going to get in. I dont know why they didnt make the blocks taller. Huge oversight. * The so-called weatherproofing isnt. You can see a lot of light filter through. You will have to take this out once it moves to colder temperatures. Otherwise, the UI is pretty good. My favorite is that the display turns off and the power light dims when in use, but no setttings changed. Very good at night when you dont want light distractions. I didnt think the noise was that much, especially compared to other window units Ive had. We did not have any problems with install. Keep the blocks close to your hand. I was easily able to hold on to the unit while I inserted the blocks. Maybe you need two people, but dont get scared off by the reviews saying its hard—you do have to force them in and thats actually good. We also used these on window frames made in 1910. All in all, great unit, assuming you get the remote and the blocks work for you.

I like this fans features, and its dimensions. From a security standpoint, I have it mounted into a single-hung window, and the window is secured with a locking device. With its low profile, even if someone were to push the unit out of the window from the outside, the opening is too small to crawl through. I like the mounting system of variably sized foam pads that fill the gaps between the unit, and the window. The only drawback with the pads is that some of the corners are slightly rounded, resulting is some small gaps that small insects could pass through. I stuffed a small cotton ball into each gap, taking care of the problem. The remote has been working well, which is good, as I have limited access to the front of the unit. My headline, being great for smaller rooms is that the unit, while pushing a good deal of air for its size, is a touch too small for the room I have it in. I use the unit to blow cool outdoors air into our living room after the outside temperature is lower than the indoor temperature. Our living room is about 400 sq. ft. with a vaulted ceiling. The unit certainly helps cool down the house, at the cost of taking a long time. We leave the unit on overnight, and turn it off when the inside-outside temperatures equalize.

It’s well worth the price. It’s quiet and it sits on the window sill where you don’t have to remove the screen or put pressure against the screen, but if you wanted to remove the screen and push it deeper into the window, you could do that too. It has the top and bottom thick foam pads that creates a custom fit to any bottom surface or window. Best of all, it’s sleek looking and quiet. I actually think I’ll be able to sleep with this running vs the noisier blade type window fans.

I always sleep with a fan on but wanted one that would blow air across the bed. This fan checked a lot of boxes for me including low noise, fit in the window, blowing air right across the bed at the right level and the remote at 3 am is nice. The unit is a little pricey and if there is any one thing going against it, it is the price. Function-wise, I’m happy with the purchase. It is super easy to install. Just sit it in the window frame, lower the window onto the unit, plug it in and you’re done. They also provide some insulated spacers to give a secure fit. The noise level from the fan is not bad. I havent had any problem sleeping because of the noise but its not super quiet either. Overall, its a good fan if you are looking for a window fan but it is not worth the price in my opinion.

As others have already mentioned, installation can be a pain. 1. The unit protrudes out the window too far, hitting the screen. This causes it to not sit properly on the window sill. I could remove the screen but this is just an invitation for mosquitoes to be sucked in. 2. The foam pieces are not sized properly to cover the gap on the sides and at the top. Included with the unit are two 4 in. pieces, two 2 in. pieces, and two 1 in. pieces. So if the gap is exactly on the inch mark, such as 4,5,6 etc. these work fine. but if you need 1/2 in. more, youre out of luck. I had to use a box cutter to cut down a 1 in. piece This is dangerous as the foam is hard to cut. You also might be able to use double sided tape. 3. A foam pad has been added to the top of the unit where the window comes down on the unit, not a bad idea. But the foam pieces were sized to the top of the unit before the foam was added. This makes for a sloppy fit. 4. Operation is confusing. There is a power indicator, but it does not indicate that the unit is on or off. It only shows that the unit is plugged into a power outlet. The control panel has to be woken up before you can do anything else. It only stays awake for a very short period of time before it goes to sleep again. Having said that. I love this unit. The fan is quiet, and is easy to control. It maintains the desired temperature. This used in my bedroom and the window is next to the bed.

I really like this compact window fan. Fits nicely in my bedroom window, easy installation & instructions. Presently, it’s 80° at 11:45am, and the fan is quietly, blowing in a comfortable cool breeze at the highest (4) setting. My bedroom is size 14’ by 16’ and it’s very cool. The cord will fits underneath in a groove. Nice alternative for an air conditioner between seasons. Pleasantly surprised & very pleased with it. Thinking about ordering another one.

Yes, the motor can run the fan blade in revese, except the unit functions very poorly in reverse. If it were easy to remove the squirrel cage fan blade, flip it left to right & reinstall it; it could provide reverse and function optimally. Except doing this would likely damage the bearings and ruin the quiet opperation. A beutiful fan, but does not function as advertized.
