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

This has increased the fresh air being drawn in by the a/c units 2x and increased the efficiency as well as exhausting any odors, I keep it running on the number 2 setting with full exhaust mode. I should have bought one of these years ago. Installing took all of 8 minutes including the side seals for the window and it tucked right in between the window screen outside, so I didn't have to do anything but raise the window, place the unit, put in the seals and plug it in, set for exhaust, 72°, level 2 fan speed and its automatic, quiet, and highly effective and exhaust...great product especially if you fry allot of foods too. I installed a cat perch in front, my cats like the little breeze it produces to exhaust the air.

Easily installed (inside the screen) with plastic baffles of varying sizes that slip into the window well next to the unit for a custom fit. While not heavy, it's thoughtfully designed with molded hand-holds on either side right where you need them, so you can easily maneuver this in and out of the window. At only a few inches high, you can put a brace in the remaining window to give you more security. It looks nice, blocks much less light than a box fan or an air con, and pushes a strong corridor of air straight ahead - there are no directional louvers. Quiet as well, though not quite as quiet as a Dreo tower fan. It switches from intake to outflow (I believe the whole fan head rotates inside) in seconds. The cord is a decent length! The thermostat is a nice feature (?), but I would absolutely rather have what it's missing - a timer. It's great to have fresh air rather than that from a stale, noisy, heavy air con (and a nice option to central air on milder days). The internet thinks that using the exhaust can help pull humidity out of a room, and we'll try that on the next muggy day. The panel controls are simple; the remote is small, slippery and utterly losable (a small piece of velcro is included to help). We're giving this a five but would I mentally make it a 4.7 for lacking a timer. I'd imagine the Alexa-enabled one might have resolved this, but we thought +$30 extra was too much for that feature. So, just a few days in I recommend this fan. In my book it makes up for being a little more expensive by not being ugly or burdensome, and for being thoughtfully designed and quietly powerful. This has a variety of reviews, but Vornado actually printed inside the box "if anything's wrong, we'll make it right." - which is encouraging. It's still very new - we'll update review if anything changes, or it becomes noisy.

The fan, the airflow, the touch controls, the gentle noise level, nake it a five star fan. But the installation is kinda kludged with hard foam blocks, and it is made to fit of a traditional "post-war" flat window sill. Unfortunately, most windows in the last 20-30 years are made with "hospital sills" where there is an inch tall metal overlap to seal out leaks. There are no more flat sills. So, to securely install this fan you will need to add blocking under it, to prevent it from tumbling out. And blocking on the sides, to close off the width. (The supplied side blocks are hard and offer limited sizes.) The hard part of this is figuring out a simple, secure, and aesthetic way to do this if you don't have a wood shop. But after you get it properly secured--which IS possible--it does an elegant job of sitting in place, without obstructing the view, and nicely ventilating the room. Air in or out, and a tiny little remote control as well. I suppose a good clean installation is the bane of all window fans, and they've tried a clean approach. Knowing the limits, I'd still do it again. They just need to make it vlear up front: "Some clever installation or assembly may be required."

Old house with a ductless recirculating range hood. Which all it does is move around cooking smoke. Tired of cleaning the greasy film that is all over the kitchen it was time to do something! Instead of a $2,000 vented range hood I thought I try the Vornado. Putting at the bottom of the window made no sense as the cooking smoke rises. So.... turned the unit upside down put above the top window sash and supported the window with stops. The rubber gap fillers fit perfectly (with some soap solution applied). The fan does allow a lot of hot air into the house so turned it on to exhaust level 1 speed. No more hot air. The exhaust is as strong as it's inflow and it works! I have a BlueAir dust magnet air purifier in the next room and every time I cook it reports high air pollution - No more! So this jury rig solution worked! Quiet even at full speed, great quality. Only downside is it will sooner or later get gunked up with smoke residue and there is no way to clean it so I'll have to replace it BUT I can do that quite a few times before I hit the $2,000 that a proper vented range hood would have cost.

The perfect bedroom fan! Ok, I get how some people don’t care for this fan because it’s not blowing gale-force winds at you. However, if you want a gentle but effective fan for your bedroom (or anywhere you want to still be able to hear) that’s quiet and keeps the air fresh, this is for you! It’s 85 degrees outside and this fan literally makes it feel like there’s AC on. It’s super quiet, doesn’t rattle, doesn’t change direction, but because of the shape of the vent holes it effectively reaches from one side of the room to the other. Plus, it fits in our window without removing the screen and the display lights go off automatically. The remote is a nice bonus. I’m going to buy another one for the guest room!

I had the previous model of this fan and needed another for my office. Definitely some improvements I really like how there are controls for multiple speeds. The remote is a nice touch although a bit finicky. Included foam material is great, was able to get the perfect fit. All in all I think it’s worth it just to be able to hold out on installing the AC as long as possible. Limited by how humid it is or windy outside. I live in a fairly windy area so it works but humid days are no match.

Minor design or manufacturing issue which appears to be somewhat common based on the reviews... I received mine and I thought it was going to be perfect. Typical vertical vinyl window and this would fit perfectly in the opening. Anyway, I got it and turned it on to test before installing. One direction, it worked perfectly. Tried reversing the flow and TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK. This wasn't what I wanted. But because it seemed like the best option based on the window fans I found, I wanted to investigate a bit further. Upon disassembly and inspection, there is a bar (picture #1) on the rotating cage that hits the squirrel cage fan and makes the noise. For mine, it only does it in one direction. So to fix, I did the following: 1. Unplug the unit. Remove the 8 rubber caps and screws from the end caps. Remove the two end caps. 2. Remove the 6 screws on the bottom of the glossy white front panel and gently lift off the panel. 3. Remove the 6 exposed screws at the bottom of the unit and the 6 screws at the top (between the fins) 4. Gently separate the front and back. 5. Find the bar with a screw on both sides, you may need to rotate the fan assembly to bring it into view. 6. That bar is what is hitting, so I added a small washer on both sides to give it a bit more clearance. (Picture #2) 7. Spin the fan to make sure it's not hitting. Rotate the assembly and test again. Make sure you don't hear anything hit when spinning the fan by hand or rotating the assembly. 8. Reassemble and it should stop ticking. Power on and test both directions (in and out) Other thoughts: 1. The foam on the bottom was too wide for my window where I wanted to position it with the screen still installed. I sliced it so that it fit the vinyl frame of the window. (Picture #3) That allowed it to fit snugly into the window instead of being raised against it. Also, this bottom foam should extend the full width of the fan, not stopping an inch short of each side. While this wasn't much of an issue after slicing the foam so it'd fit into the window, it still leaves a bit of a gap. 2. The foam blocks are not ideal, but adding some double-stick tape between the blocks (once I figured out exactly how many to use) in order to keep them together seemed to help. 3. This doesn't NOT cut off the air when off. On a hot day, you'll feel hot air coming in and on a cool day, you'll find cool air coming in. I did make an insulation cover that attaches with velcro to help with this issue, but now it's starting to sound like I need a new hobby... Anyway, I liked the fan and it works well for me, but they should probably fix their manufacturing issue. The plastic bar tolerance should be improved so you don't have the clicking issue. Mine seemed slightly warped, but if the bar was prone to warping, additional clearance should have been added so it doesn't click during normal usage out of the box. Maybe it was just mine, but I saw this comment in other reviews. With some work, I got it fitting perfectly, but it has to be removed due to air leakage at certain times of the year. Remote was great and everything else seems fine. Understand that there are a limited number of blocks included, so it'll only fit windows of a certain width. There is NO screen on it, so I left my screen in, thus the installation issue. I fixed that by cutting the foam at the bottom (Picture #3) so that it'd sit in the window without taking out the screen. Good luck! It's been removed for the winter as it just lets in way too much cold air. It may not be as simple as advertised, but it's definitely workable if you want to spend the time fitting it and hopefully you don't have the clicking issue I did.

The reason for the 2 star is it's potential. The fan looks to be well made, the fans packaging format (size, shape, and function) is perfect for my application, and it is pretty quiet. That was the good news. The problem is that the brains (the electronics) are scrambled, and it does not work correctly, out of the box. This is the replacement for the original one that I ordered, because the original has the exact same problem! I liked the first well enough that I ordered a replacement rather than ask for a refund, thinking I just got a bad unit. I was wrong! If Vornado fixed the electronics and made this fan work as advertised, it would likely be a 5 star product. But 2 defective units in a row that have the exact same problem is not encouraging. What I am experiencing is that the fans just do what ever the hell they want. They turn themselves on and off, change air flow direction randomly, and they act like some demon with ADHD has the remote, and is playing with it. It runs unpredictably and randomly. You can enter the settings that you want, and sit back and watch it change them on its own without making any sense. It may turn its self off, and a few minutes later turn back on (and it is not following the thermostatic control). You can turn the unit off, and it will turn itself back on, and/or adjust the speed up or down randomly. The electronics are junk. But, I do like the format, and that it is quiet. I think there is a manual version of this fan that I may try in the future. I have to see if it has electronic controls or it has real manual switches and controls. Vornado really needs to invest in some quality control. To ship one bad unit is terrible, but it happens. For one customer to get two separate units (I know they are different units because I have both here now waiting to be returned) with the same defect is not a random chance, and says there is little to no QC. It is a shame because I think it could be an awesome product, if correctly executed. Too bad, so sad.

Precio justo por la calidad del equipo excelente desempeño con muy buenos resultados

I love this unit! Very light white noise, super efficient at bringing in cool night or morning air or exhausting the heat of the day from a room that has poor air circulation. I run it 24/7. I will likely get another one. Sure beats the cost of running an air conditioner. On cool air intake, you get a wide strong flow of fresh air even on low setting. I haven’t used the remote but the digital panel is simple to use.

This a wonderful window fan. It is self contained and weatherproof and as such it it remains in my window for the spring-summer-fall duration. It can pull air out of your room or bring air in and has a temperature control for when things cool off at night. The remote works well and the unit moves a large volume of air quietly. I have had this unit for just over three years and found it utterly reliable. The complete lit comes with solid foam inserts for sealing to a window. In my case they had included two 1" inserts and it fir a 27" window perfectly. Install takes a few minutes. Highly recommended.

logra extraer el aire del cuarto, solo queda ver cuanto dura funcionando por bastante tiempo.

I've had my unit running almost continually during summer months (May-Sept) for two years. Its still reasonably quiet and hasn't started making an high pitch 'wine' sounds. Some recommendations. Use metallic tape on the outside to reflect the suns heat. Continuous hot sun on black doesn't exactly have a 'cooling' effect. My window screen is in the way when this is installed. I got around this by buying a small roll of replacement window screen, creating one that fits the device, and its worked well. If you have access to plastic corrugate sheets, it works really well for creating an 'adapter' thats more of an air-tight fit between the edges of the unit and the window. The remote is cheap but works well enough if you want to avoid walking over to control the flow.
