TRANSOM Window Fan

I love the style of this fan. It is great for privacy. It's very quiet. It fits well in my broken window ( won't stay up) It would be better if the fan was a little bit stronger and if you could direct the airflow. All in all I think it will do the job nicely. I hope it lasts !

We bought this for our kitchen window to bring in cooler night air and also to remove hot air from the dishwasher and cooking. The breeze around our house comes from the south, but our east-facing window doesn't easily capture that naturally. With the Transom though, we now can get plenty of cool air in-it makes a huge difference in comfort. Getting the heat out is easy as well with a button click to reverse airflow. Regarding fit: Our window is 36 inches wide, but the opening the fan sets into is 33.5 inches, which leaves a half inch gap with the fan and blocks that fit installed. The foam blocks are sturdy and not squishy enough to mold into place to fill the gap, so we remove the fan daily to close the window and keep heat out. This is fine because it the Transom is light, but I wish there were additional block sizes available. I also wish there was a small Transom size available. We have two 21.5-inch opening double-hung bathroom windows it would be great for.

Stylish and slim. Quiet also. However, foam pieces are glued on top and bottom of unit which makes it look cheap. These are in addition to the foam window spacers that are included. The foam piece on the bottom actually interferes with the electrical cord placement and makes it impossible to sit flush on window (unless you trim it with a knife). Considering the brand name and price, the most disappointing thing is that the open vents equal about 20" long, but air only blows from 14" on the left side. There is no air flow from the 6" on the right side. I put my hand next to it and nothing - even though I can see the cylindrical fan spinning. Major design flaw.

I enjoyed having this fan so much I ended up buying 2 for myself (1 Black and 1 White), 1 for my mother who is a Sr Citizen and one for my sister. It was longer than I expected and I'm not the biggest fan of the foam pieces but they serve their purpose. The fan is quiet. I wish speed 4 had just a little more power that wasn't a dealbreaker for me. I like the fact no one can look through the fan. I also like the fact it closes up when powered off. I hope Vornado continue manufacturing this model for years to come.

So far, I'm loving my new white Vornado Transom fan. I installed it in the kitchen window of my condo in just a few minutes the same evening I received it. I have it circulating air through the condo most evenings to pull in the cool night air. As soon as I turn it on, I can feel the draft moving down the hall. It is extremely quiet and meets my need for circulation perfectly. I just open the window in the bedroom to enable the draft. The remote control is so handy and I love the fact the fan housing is sealed when in the off position, and that the airflow is reversible. It has more than met my expectations! I'm gifting one to my brother's family and have encouraged at least one other friend to buy one. My only suggestions to improve upon this would be: To develop a compatible security bracket so it could be securely locked into place and couldn't be easily removed by a burglar, and to have the option to special-order one with a white front and black outward facing side (to match interior and exterior window frame colors).
