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

We needed 3 new window fans for home cooling at night during warm and hot months. We have used Vornado floor fans for years, and absolutely love them. Did not hesitate to turn to Vornado again for our window fan purchases.Another hit out of the park for Vornado! Love these window fans.- Sleek appearance taking minimal space. Easy to fit into 26 in - 40 in windows.- Efficient performance, incredible airflow, and very quiet. Very quiet ambient noise even at the highest speed 4.- The unit is easy to handle/lift up and down from window with the handle/carrying indentations on the sides.- As seen in photo, comes with additional hard foam rigid pieces if you wish to make the fan a more permanent window installation. Also comes with a remote control unit.- Unit has both air intake and air exhaust modes.- Can set unit to automatically turn off/on to maintain a set temperature.- Handy instruction manual. The unit overall is very easy to operate.Use note: We do not keep the fan units permanently in our windows. Rather, we place them in the windows at night for night time cooling, and remove them in the morning and close the windows. As such, we are not using the extra rigid foam pieces for a more permanent installation. The fans are very easy to take in and out of the window if you want to use them in a similar fashion.I highly recommend this product.

So far so good! Works well, does what it’s supposed to. The exhaust feature is awesome! It’s not super loud, there’s no more noise than what you get with a regular fan or AC. Seems well made, not bulky, not an eye sore either, looks sleek and clean. Its pretty lightweight as you can see it sits on top of my bird feeder with no issue. (Yes I see the gaps, I haven’t put the weather strip on yet, but theres no need for that if you’re putting it in the window the right way, by itself) also came with a remote which I thought was pretty convenient. When I bought this the reviews weren’t that great but I don’t see why, it’s a solid buy if you ask me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Definitely an improvement.My bedroom gets so hot in the summer, even with the AC going. It’s on the north-west corner of our house but heats up like crazy during the day. My alarm clock has a built-in thermometer and the room is usually at least a few degrees warmer than the rest of the house. It can get over 80°F in there at night. (Even in the dead of winter, 20°F outside, I often have to crack the window for a few hours, or it’ll be too hot to sleep.)This fan looks nice. It’s decently quiet. And moves air nicely. I usually use the exhaust setting just to keep the air moving. But in the evening, I’ll switch it to draw cool air in for a few hours before bed.The foam gap-inserts meant to fill in the gaps around the sides are just… dumb.The way they’re designed, they aren’t universal and they don’t fit my window AT ALL. There are 3 different sizes, but if the space you need to fill isn’t exactly in full-inches, you’re going to have a gap of whatever remaining the partial inch happens to be (1/4, 1/2, 3/4” etc). Mine has about 1/2” gap, so I had to space out the inserts carefully. Because they don’t fit my window, they don’t want to stay up either; they kept falling back against the screen behind the fan. Took me ages to get it all in and “stable.”The thermostat is handy. But… it has issues.I don’t know where it’s placed but I’m not sure it’s in a very good spot: The inside temperature can be 80°F, but if the outside temp is 59°, the fan won’t kick on because it’s reading the outside temp. The auto-fan temperature setting also only goes down to 60°. So while your room may be too hot, if it’s only 59° outside, it’ll be reading the external temperature and won’t automatically turn on. That’s a bit annoying.Where I live, the nighttime temperatures often get quite low, even if it was 90°F all day.Pros: It’s versatile, looks nice, the noise isn’t too disruptive, and it’s pretty powerful. It works well and is a pretty good improvement over the standard, dual-blade window fans on the market. The remote control is also very handy. (It’s part of what tipped the scale between this fan and another brand, tbh.) And the manufacturer warranty is pretty decent. (I also bought an extended warranty though.)Cons: The gap-filler inserts are really only suitable for whatever, very specific window the company used as a template. If you have older or “non-standard” (whatever “standard” even is right now), expect to have to fuss with them and probably have gaps due to their limitations. (I’m not sure why they decided that the usual accordion-style extenders were less preferable. Feels a bit like they decided “reinventing the wheel,” so-to-speak, was a “good idea” in this case. It usually isn’t.)Finally, the thermostat is placed in such a way that it often reads the temperature outside, instead of the temperature inside the room you want to regulate. If it’s too hot inside, but the outdoor temperature is low, the thermostat becomes useless; you’ll have to switch it to manual operation.

I purchased one of these a few years ago and it has held up well. My biggest complaint is the ability to clean the inside. When we incurred air pollution due to the Canadian wildfires the inside got quite gross and it is quite a pain to open up to clean out the inside AND put back together so that it lines up just so. You can end up doing it wrong so take lots of pictures of how it sets in as you open it up! The remote works great still though we rarely utilize it. It is easy to assemble until you have to clean the inside so just be cautious with that. It’s not terribly heavy to install either. I wish they sold more of the foam buffers for the sides because they do get quite yucky and discolored after a while. The white has faded to yellow especially the part of the fan that faces the outside. I will say that it still functions beautifully even after taking it apart to clean it. I wish they weren’t so expensive though because I would be another one! I love that I can set the temperature for it to shut off if it gets too cold! This is a great feature. I also enjoy seeing the room temperature as well and the ability to put the fan on exhaust. Now the best part is that it blocks out the light from outside. Being on the ground floor, we often get cars that will face our building at night with their lights on for hours aimed at our window. That was the whole reason we got this fan to block out the light at night. Absolutely love it!
