In today's review we test out a unique pair of window fans by Vornado. It's a long one, because there is a lot to cover. So grab your drink of choice and kick your feet up while I show and tell everything you ever wanted to know about the Vornado TRANSOM Window Fan.

You put a ton of time and energy into this video and I really appreciate it as I was on the fence for this fan for my office. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thanks for the review. After the reviews on Amazon, I figured out why they had complaints as well... was pretty much like what you stated. Logic actually, lol. So I finally broke down and bought one, as it was between Vornado or shaper image. I like sharper image but they weren't remote control, only thing that I didn't like. But I purchased mine for $64 in the 'very good' section. Nothing wrong with the unit itself, just the packaging was damaged during inspection,and let's be honest, who keeps the packaging? I'll save $35 for a damaged box,lol. I wouldn't pay no $100 for it though. As for the foam inserts for the sides, I just cut out a 1' thick piece of wood for the sides after measuring. Reason, I like my privacy and security. Foam doesn't cut it for me. Also, those 2 dual side fans you have, I have one as well, issue same as yours, but it was my right side that barely works,if that's what you want to call it, (so slow it might as well not work and the other twin fan before it,the right blade did quit) lol. I had it 3 yrs this year and it finally just stopped performing like it did and the right side might as well not work at all...so I looked into lower profile w remote window fans that add privacy, something those twin fans don't have.

Great review, have the same issue with my dual fan models, one always goes out within 3 years, even with mesh and weather guards outside the window, definately going to get a transom after your video. And also nice LG window ac, my house is on the small side and about 1k sq ft. It's been getting decently hot here in northern California and I recently got a 12k Midea on amazon on "sale" for $250. Man that things be amazing, and it's a u-shaped so it's basically a micro-split lol (even has proper insulation between the sections where the lines go through, no giant styrofoam block crap). When I first got it I thought something was wrong with it because those inverter systems can throttle so low I couldn't tell it was on, I was still so used to the loud "on/off" cycle of the older window ac's. Plus at full blast (which only happens when i set it super low) it only runs about 350 watts and it's ice cold, the efficiency is miles better.

nice review :)

Thanks for the review! I want to get a window exhaust fan for a small apartment where there is no venting over the stove/oven. When cooking in the kitchen there is nowhere for the cooking steam and odors to go so it sticks to clothing and furniture and is pretty hard to get rid of. There is a small 26" window in the kitchen about 4" to the right of the stove so I thought I would get this and use it as an exhaust so that the cooking steam and smoke can get sucked out the window. Do you think this will be effective in accomplishing this goal?

Pretty good review nice job. The other review videos out there arnt as good or detailed.

I really appreciated knowing about the Merv 13 filtration material. Where would you install it on the Transom, so it's effective and not an eyesore? Thanks!

Do the 14 inch fab cool down the room? And is the holmes fan better than 24 in blade fan

Can you put it verticle

They DO SMELL AWFUL and they DON'T move a lot of air at all. I have a floor stand Vornado for YEARS that works GREAT, and moves a LOT of air. These things absolutely do NOT. NOT worth the 100 bucks I paid for it, not even worth half that. Been running the thing in my dining room and the air flow is SO POOR I have to put up a cardboard partition to redirect the airflow where I need it. As long as it's exhausting the air, the smell is bearable, but EVERY TIME you change it to pull air in from outside, that AWFUL plastic stench kicks you right up in the nose.

Don’t buy this !!!!! I got one today and taking it back tomorrow. Will only work good for a very very small room
