Customers like the size and appearance of the fan. For example, they mention it fits in a small space and controls temperature. Customers are also impresseded with the wind flow, saying it pulls cold air in and sucks the hot air out. That said, opinions are mixed on performance, durability, airflow, and speed.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the size of the fan. For example, they say it's a narrow fan that doesn't take up much room, it'll fit in a small space, and it'd be best for small rooms. The housing is much smaller in size, so it takes up less window area. Overall, customers are happy with their purchase and recommend it to others.

"This fan is unlike typical window fans. It's designed to fit tightly into any window opening to increase air volume very efficiently for it's size...." Read more
Customers like the wind. They mention it pulls cold air in so well from the outside that it almost feels like air. It cools off their room, sucks the hot air out, and brings in cool fresh air. They also say it's a good doorway fan due to its compact size and longevity. Customers say the cross breeze is pretty nice and the temperature drops about 10 degrees when they run it all night. They appreciate the Temp. control is excellent and it shows the how many degrees to set it for and fan speed.

"...It isn't a fast fan, and certainly not typical, but it is quiet and it moves more air than a vent hood for stove...." Read more
"...It actually LOOKS GOOD...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the performance of the fan. Some mention that it works well for their needs, the controls work well, and the thermostat is vague. However, others say that the two fans had already stopped working, one of the 3 motors stopped working and the unit doesn't work for their purposes.

"...It does only moves air in one direction, so it depends on which way you face it for air flow.The remote is fine. Not great but fine...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the speed. Some mention they love the easy temp control of utilizing 1-3 fans and the thermostat settings are cool. They also say the fan speed changes by running 1 or all 3 fans, and the panel on the updated fans allow you to preset temperature ranges so your fan will automatically. However, others say that the fan is not variable, the remote is not good, and modifying speeds is awkward. It is not a fast fan, and is quiet.
"...- FLUID REGULATION OF SPEED is pretty neat as you can adjust the speed as you like...." Read more
"...I wish fan speed could be controlled instead of turning on one by one.<Problem>..." Read more

- NOT VERY BIG AND BULKY - this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Shopping for a fan for a small one panel bathroom window mainly, with option to use in any other window. I needed something that is relatively small, not super big and I did not need a hurricane like power of the fan either. The fan is about 7 or so inches high tops 8 but I am guessing.. In any case.. it does not overpower the window or room, it is nice and rather forgiving as far as the visual impact and what is important to me, it is light and small so I dob't have to struggle to put it in or take out as needed.
- EASY TO PUT IN THE WINDOW AND REMOVE - that is really non-process. You just open the window, pull our the accordion like extension to cover the entire width of the window frame and it is really super easy to do. Then you just position it in the open window frame and close the window down all the way till it touches the top of the fan. Done. The whole process takes maybe a minute or under once you get a hang of it. It is light and perfect so I can carry it easily in one hand. To take it out of the window.. you just open the window sliding up the panel.. then take it out and you can either push back the accordion extension or set it wherever you want with the extension left as is.
- I USE IT IN MY BATHROOM WINDOW - to take the moisture out super fast. I don't like when the steam hangs in the air and the vent alone just does not do job good enough. I am not going to bother now in the midst of epidemic and worry about the vent so this is perfect solution. Once set in the window and turned on it sucks all the moisture in no time. I don't keep it in the window as I don't need it beyond this situation.
- THE AIR POWER - This fan is naturally bit less powerful then the double fan big window fans that I also have one of. However, note to the wise - when you use TOO strong fan to push your indoor air, you must be very careful to follow recommendations. Just like with the kitchen exhaust that pulls x amount of the air from the house along with the smells you have to follow the rules of physics and recomendations.
If the air vent is too strong then you push a lot of indoor air with it and the trade off is that you also may
pull some gasses from the furnace and what not.. so you need to be careful as this can somehow endanger you and your family by creating some adverse air condition. To avoid this you have to check the fan power and capacity of air removal per minute or so.. You can call google this Or ask the seller for recommendation. To avoid any hazard I never run the big fans on full speed for a long time but rather on lower speeds for longer. This particular fan is gentle and it does help perfectly with air exchange as not only you can push out the air but also reverse or have some fans going one way and some another.
Best rule of thumb is to have two fans in the house and while one is exhausting the air the other would pull out the air in that way you avoid the potentially unsafe situation of low pressure build up in the house.
Possibly opening some other window might help but I don't know if this is sufficient recommendation. I would research this thoroughly. I usually do run other fan somewhere so I don't really run into any extremes.
It is great fan to push your air out of the house, it is also great to pull fresh air in fast. This is important because oftentimes you want to get air in fast and it is often impossible if the outdoor pressure is lower
then inside the house or even in both places, there is no inward draft then and so the outdoor air
does not get inside much without the wind pushing it from outside. This fan does the trick. It just sucks your air super fast and you can enjoy it in no time.
The portability of this fan is super important to me, I can easily take it form room to room.. from window to window as needed. and if I want to I can also use it as a stand alone fan without putting it in the window at all. I don't need this much but occasionally I had situation when I wanted a painted surface to dry here or there and so I could set it up as I wanted and had a lot of air blowing at it fast.
It can help your indoor air to circulate on one of the lower speeds if you wish, you can place it in an area of the house really.. window or no window. Just prop it against something so it stands solid and out of the traffic area so nobody bumps it or no pets can knock it down.
I was happy to see that it did not have any smells upon arrival. Smell is a big thing to me. I don't like any new chemical smells so It is crucial that an item is free of them upon arrival. It was just perfect, no smells whatsoever.
Last thing to note is that when I am not using it and not in the window, I can set it gently on the floor below the window or I can put it vertically on a shorter end and lean against the wall under the window curtain so it is perfectly concealed.
I HIGHLY recommend it. It gets a lot of mileage in my house. We use it often and we find many uses for it.
I was debating between the light color and black color and I personally like the lighter one because it does not bring attention to it. I find this just a utility device and not necessarily an element of decor so I seek things that blend in as such. However if you for some reason like the fan to be black to blend in with your particular decor or you find it more modern or like it to be more visible then go for it obviously. I am just adding in case you would be debating the color and would get stuck on lack of perspective on the issue. Perhaps this can help you to decide.
IN any case, If you need a light reliable and prefect window fan for frequent use then you should try it.
Also.. a closing tip.. like all or most fans this does not come with a timer. In case you would like it to run for prescribed amount of time I would suggest to buy either analog or digital outlet timer that cost few dollars and is easy to find on amazon and just plug it into the outlet and then plug this fan into it and then
you will be free to set the time to any duration you wish so it will turn itself off as needed.
FIFVE STARS AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!!!
- YOU CAN REVERSE THE FLOW -but that is not with the flip switch, you need to physically flip the device which also is not a problem , easy peasy.
- FLUID REGULATION OF SPEED is pretty neat as you can adjust the speed as you like. That is much better option then having only two three or four speeds.
- PICK HOW MANY FANS YOU WANT ON OR OFF - you can have just one, two or all three on or off situation respectively. Just look at the product pictures and you will see the options.
NOISE LEVEL: I read a couple of reviews that complained about this unit being very loud. Not sure if perhaps those were faulty units, or if I just got lucky - but mine is NOT loud at all. I actually found the sound of the motor to be very faint, and most of the 'noise' from my unit is just the sound of the airflow as the speed increases. I have it on the highest speed right now and while it isn't silent, it's very soft and quiet.
REVERSIBLE: There seems to be some confusion on this. The UNIT is reversible. The direction of the BLADES is not. So yes, you can reverse the airflow. But no, you can't reverse the direction of the blades themselves. To clarify - you can't reverse the flow of air with the touch of a button, you must reverse the unit itself in the window (take it out, turn it around, put it back in). Not as simple as flipping a switch, but still fairly easy - and there are controls on both sides of the unit so that you can turn it on or off and select the airflow speed no matter which direction it is facing.
OUTPUT: The wind from this thing isn't going to knock anyone over, but it's a nice, relatively strong flow of air - especially considering the small size and low noise of the unit. It has really cooled down the side of the house where I installed it, and the breeze is fairly strong and refreshing.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL: They have temperatures noted on the controls... I find this to be pretty silly. This is a fan, after all, not an AC unit. It does not have a thermostat, so the temperatures noted are totally meaningless. Take them with a grain of salt. If you want it cooler, turn up the speed - that's it.
Bottom line - I'm glad I decided to order this, and I'm about to order another. It works great, and it fits my windows. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Pros
- Moves a surprising amount of air. I have it installed in a window blowing outwards with another window cracked on the other side of the house and you can feel the draft.
- Surprisingly quiet, even with all 3 fans running.
Cons
- The extra baffles dont lock in, so installing the unit can be a bit of a hassle for one person.
- Cord placement. The power cord is in the middle of the main unit, and doesnt have any clips to tuck it out of the way to one side or the other.
