Digital Window Fan with Remote Reversible Airflow Thermostat

Great fan. I had a window fan of another brand that quit to do exchange air function after using it for a few years, so I finally decided to get a new one. That brand doesn't sell a fan that can control on/off by temperature, so I decided to try this Bionaire Window Fan with Reversible Airflow Blade with 3-speed settings. The remote control is a pleasant bonus! The fan is very loud on high setting, so I use low setting, but it works great and cools the room very fast at night. The caveat is while there is a turn down the light function, but it only affects the temperature display. The rest of the LED indicator lights are still very bright at night. Overall, I like the fan for its functions and features and how well it cools the room. Just wish the LED indicator can be turned down, so it won't be so bright at sleep time.

This is a great fan. I had been using a Holmes fan in our bedroom Holmes Dual Blade Twin Window fan with One Touch Thermostat and decided to get a new fan for one of our bathrooms that does not have a ceiling exhaust fan, so that we can remove all of the steam and humidity from taking showers and baths. I decided to try this Bionaire and see how they compare. I ended up putting the Bionaire in our bedroom and the old Holmes in the bathroom, for a few reasons. This Bionaire has more power and sucks the hot air out of the room better. The motor must be stronger because I can tell that it doesn't struggle when wind is trying to blow inward. On the Holmes, if it is windy and air is trying to blow into the window from outside, it struggles and the fans slow down. On the Bionaire it basically keeps functioning as normal with no struggling. The Bionaire has 3 speeds, whereas the Holmes only has 2. The medium setting on the Bionaire almost seems as good as the high speed on the Holmes. The buttons on the Bionaire are better too. The Holmes button is sort of already pressed in and feels almost like it is broken... a sort of cheap feel. Bionair buttons are nice and durable feeling and easy to use. They click nicely when you push them, and you know you pushed them and they "took." The Holmes button sometimes needed pressed more than once and never felt like it pressed correctly. I like that this unit has the temperature display too so you know how hot or cold it is in the room and you can tell if it is working or not or which airflow direction is working better... If you set it at exchange and see the temp go up after a few minutes, you know that is not the setting you want, etc. My husband doesn't understand the concept of setting the fan to exhaust to suck out all of the hot air and pull the cool air from the air conditioning from downstairs. He thinks it should always be set to bring air in (so he can sit in front of the dammm fan and feel air and say it's cooler that way.) So, now with the temperature reading right there I can prove to him that bringing in HOT air from outside is not helping the situation and you need to remove the hot air from inside by setting it to exhaust. When he sees it go from 80-some degrees down to low 70's and 60's now, he believes me. Of course there are times when exchange will be better or it will be cool at night and bringing air in is fine, but for the most part in the heat of summer, during the day, you will want to set it to out, to exhaust the hot air to the outside. This fan does a great job of pulling the cool air from the rest of the house too, as long as we leave the bedroom door open. The remote on this one is a nice bonus too because if it starts raining during the night and pulling rain into the room, you don't have to get out of bed to switch the fan direction or otherwise change the settings as needed. I keep the remote right in our nightstand drawer beside the bed and never have to worry about it. If it gets too chilly or whatever the case is, I can just grab the remote and not have to get out of bed. I will see how well the Holmes does in the bathroom, but if it seems to not get rid of the humidity and steam so well as we get into hotter and more humid months, I will buy another one of these Bionaire fans. Overall it is great quality and great performance. Changing the settings is easy and straightforward - pick your speed and pick your airflow direction and that's all you have to do. On the Holmes, you have to press the same button a million times to cycle through all the settings when you want to change it or even to turn it off. It gets to be a pain in the rear after a while. You can also set this one for specific temps etc so it will shut off when your desired temp is reached and kick on again if it gets hotter or colder. Just a great unit all the way around.

I am a big cheerleader for these fans! I have three that are the previous model (the old remotes still work with the new fans!). I have two in the new model. The new model looks sleeker and the remote is more compact. They are reliable and given me many years of use. One of the fans I’ve had for close to 15 years. It even managed a move across the country and has stayed functional! I like the three fan speeds and they are quieter and more efficient to run continuously vs a box fan. The temperature control is great so it doesn’t get too cold (or hot) when you’re out of the home or sleeping.

This fan is really good and is probably amazing if you have a horizontal window. Air flow is nice and cool, it can be loud but I don't mind that since I like the white noise. However, if you have a vertical window like I do, maybe think twice. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to stop falling out of my window. It just wouldn't wedge in correctly and eventually the air flow would cause it to fall out, even if I had it going out one fan and in the other to try to balance it. Who knows, maybe it was just my window or maybe it was just me not being able to install it correctly, but I still figured it was worth warning about. Like I said, great fan while it works! Not so great when it falls out of the window 3 times a week and breaks itself into pieces, especially when it chooses the middle of the night to fall.

Great fan... Has all the features necessary and moves way more air than other similar fans. Remote is a nice touch - can change it from bed. Price seems in line with brands w/ lesser features. 2 small nit-picks: 1) There is a button that dims the display LED's; however, it doesn't dim that other "status" LED's... I can see someone who wants to sleep in pitch dark having to put tape over those lights. 2) When you switch between fan speeds or modes, it shuts off for a second, then spins to full speed for a second, then goes down to the right speed. Seems unnecessary. For years, I used the Holmes brand that had independent control and a mechanical thermostat dial... those were my favorites, but they stopped making them; The later digital versions didn't move as much air, but were the next best thing. This one moves way more air than either.

This unsolicited, uncompensated review is for the BIONAIRE Twin Window Fan, Model BW2300. My wife and I don’t tolerate hot weather very well--we like cool fresh air circulating around the house all year long. Consequently, our home is centrally air-conditioned and we have a couple of air purifiers and several fans running most of the year. Even though we live in the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies, where the humidity is generally pretty low (often in the single digits), the hot dry air of summer can become uncomfortable for us. The outside air cools down after sunset and we normally run a table fan in our bedroom which is located on the far wall from the window. We thought it would be great to have a fan in the bedroom window to draw in the cooler nighttime air after the air conditioning shuts down for the night (we have the A/C thermostat set accordingly). Instead of having to re-locate the table fan to the window every evening, we decided to look for a window fan that suits our needs, and of course we turned to amazon. The BIONAIRE Twin Window Fan appeared to be our solution. There were two things we had to consider before purchasing this fan: (1) we have sliding windows and narrow venetian blinds. (2) Our two cats like to perch on the desk and look out the window. (Isn’t that what most indoor cats like to do?) We didn’t want to take this small luxury away from them and we wanted to retain the use and control of the window and blinds and still have a fan in the window*. The Fan arrived within two business days for Prime members as promised by amazon. The fan was triple-boxed (!) and arrived in perfect condition. The quality of the unit was evident right away after removing the styrofoam packing material. I temporarily placed the fan in our bedroom window and slid the window to support the fan just long enough to plug it in and do a run through after reading the owner’s manual. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The fans move an unexpectedly large volume of air for their size. The fans are well-balanced and there is absolutely no vibration. In addition, this unit runs whisper-quiet at the two slower speeds and only slightly louder at the highest speed. There is a section in the description at amazon stating that each of the two fans can be set independently. This led me to believe that each fan had its own power, speed, and direction controls. This is not the case, but this should not be a concern as I don’t believe most users would need such an option. The “air flow” button has 3 options whose settings are indicated by LED indicator lamps: “in” (both fan blades spinning counter-clockwise); “out” (blades spinning clockwise); and “exchange”, one fan for in, the other for out. One reviewer commented that the labeling on the control panel could be better. Indeed, the unit has white lettering on a silver background, making it difficult to read. Black lettering would have been better. The included remote control is a plus, great for being able to change settings while laying in bed. OPERATION: The Power button cycles through “Off”, “Low”, “Medium, High”, and back to “Off”. I would have preferred separate On/Off and Airspeed buttons, but OK. There is a brief pause between these settings where the fans are not turning. This may be the manufacturer’s way of addressing problems of some users’ complaints that the unit shut down, possibly to a tripped fuse or circuit breaker within the unit. The “air flow” button exhibits the same kind of pause, probably to give the blades a chance to slow down before reversing direction. We are not using the thermostat function as we simply turn the fan on and let it run all night. This fan has a bright red LED which displays the temperature. For most of the day it seems to register the same temperature as a wall-mounted thermometer on the other side of the room. My wife and I have now become room temperature conscious and find ourselves gazing at the temperature readings. We have seen a low of 66 degrees in the early morning (not bad for mid-July), to a high of 80 degrees in late afternoon when the air conditioning is off. * NON-STANDARD INSTALLATION: To accommodate our cats and have the use of our bedroom window and blinds, I constructed a custom-made stand from heavyweight redwood 2 by 4s, and it sits firmly on our desk. (see photo). I set a couple of wood strips at an angle to form a pair of channels for the edges of the fan to sit in. We now have cool outside air coming in at night and don’t have to run our air conditioning. And, the cats can still look out the window. My wife and I agree that buying this product was a good investment, and we are very happy with our purchase.

If you're in the market for a window fan this one is for you! I own two of these now and they work great! It is a powerful fan with good airflow. Quieter than another brand I tried recently. It comes with a convenient remote control, has 3 speeds, inflow/outflow options which can run independently at the same time, and an optional thermostat which shuts the fan off once the air reaches the temperature you set. You can actually "feel" the air move with this one compared to another brand I tried. It is very effective at cooling the room quickly. I love this fan!

I was very skeptical when buying the window fan due to the amount of mixed or negative reviews of its construction and built quality and how it will last or work or have any type of sound. However for my unit it has work amazingly for two particular needs. The first need is to of course ventilate a room with fresh cooler air from the outside which works amazingly. The other need when it is hot outside in the summer where an AC unit will do much better, I placed this in the kitchen which gets hot in the summer due to cooking and it works in two ways very well, the first way is that it airs out all the hot air in the kitchen which maintains the temperature to a stable lower temperature. It also has the ability of course to blow in air to cool off in the kitchen so that cooking can continue. There is of course a feature which has one fan blow in air and the other fan blow out air however these work varies depending on how hot it is. If it's too hot the feature won't work because of the overwhelming Heat. The cons that I find in this unit are the following. I do not like that the only color available when buying was white. This is a problem in the kitchen or anywhere because Grease, dirt, or any type of pollen or dust will show blatantly on the unit. Another thing that I dislike about this unit is the auto mode which is annoying and prevents it from working efficiently. For me this mode is useless and should have not been implemented. It is annoying to have to turn it off every single time you reconnect the fan to the power. Another thing that I dislike about this unit is the LEDs being on without having an option turn off the LEDs because they are bright red and if placed in a room where you sleep it will bother you in the dark. I do like the fact that it comes with a remote controller which makes it easier and more convenient to turn on and turn off the fans without coming in proximity. Another feature that I like that is Paramount is the fan speeds they are quite powerful even on the lowest setting. In particular my unit has no whining or any type of fan noise outside of the blowing of air in fact it is certainly quiet on the lowest setting however on the highest setting the noise is higher due to the power of the Wind coming through. So far I have had this unit for a couple months and it has been flawless and it fits most apartment windows I have not had any issues with this unit as of yet and for the price it is very well worth it. It is made out of plastic for the most part however it seems durable and for me I do not need the additional extension for my window I believe this could be plays vertically as well if needed but I do not require this and it seems that you can place two of these units vertically side by side if the window is large enough which could be a plus if such thing is needed. Overall your miles and experience may vary due to the variability of quality control however my unit seems to be a very good built unit and I would definitely buy again if needed.

Muito bom, pena que não vende oficialmente no brasil. Se o lugar que vc mora tem pouca ventilação ou é muito e vc não pode instalar um ar condicionado, esse é o produto certo. Recomendo esse pq é o único mais potente. Os outros eram todos 40w e esse se não me engano é 100w.

Great for a fan! Helped us survive a heat wave with our 6 month old. The low setting is very quite compared to our other double fan and quieter than our upright fan. I like that it will shut off on its own when it reaches the desired temperature. I like that it displays the temp of the room although I wish you could change the setting to Celsius. We’ve been using for three weeks so far very satisfied. It was also a next day delivery which was a life saver. Got just in time when fans were sold out everywhere. In a normal summer I think this would work just as well as a air conditioner. It works best when the temperature gets low overnight. We have not yet tried it with the remote.

Algo pequeño, pero potente, el echo de ir en la ventana, refresca muy bien un cuarto, aun que no sirve de nada la función de poner los ventiladores en distinta dirección.

Lo coloqué de manera vertical (ya que mi ventana así lo requiere) y funciona perfectamente, en las noches cuando el aire exterior es mas fresco si baja la temperatura entre 10°F y 15°F en una habitación de 16 m2, lo cual permite dormir muy cómodamente. El nivel de ruido es bajo (en comparación con mi ventilador de piso actual), es un ruido blanco que a nosotros nos ayuda a dormir y bloquea muchísimo los ruidos externos. No es un aire acondicionado, pero su sistema de inyección y extracción o doble inyección si enfría la habitación. Como tip: lo coloqué al muro de la habitación con un brazo para pantalla de tv y funciona a la perfección, solo lo tengo que desplazar con ese brazo para cerrar la ventana.

This fan is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. I've purchased other window fans in the past and none compare. In fact, I will likely buy a second. Here's what you'll love: THERMOSTAT: This fan has a built in, programmable thermostat which I love. It can be set as cool as 60F. This means you can leave the fan running on a cool night and it will automatically shut itself off once it reaches your selected temperature and you won't end up waking up in the middle of the night freezing cold. The current room temp is shown in red LED lights on the display. Once you press the button to select your desired room temp, it will show your selection and after a few seconds flash back to the room temp which stays on and reflects the current room temp. The lights on the display showing the temp may or may not bother you, depending on how sensitive you are to lighting in your room at night while you try to sleep. Worst case, it's an easy to fix to cover it with something and it hasn't been an issue for me and I love a dark room for sleep. FAN SPEEDS: There are three fan speeds, low, medium and high. I keep mine on high just to maximize on air flow. It's a great breeze and strong enough fan to air out a large bedroom or medium sized living space. FAN OPTIONS: There are two small fans built into this product. An interesting bonus feature on this fan is that you can choose air in, air out, or air in AND out (exchange). The options basically change the direction of the fans to both spin to blow air in, both spin to suck air out, or one fan blows air in while the second fan sucks air out (to exchange the air in the room). Personally, I prefer the air in feature, especially if you're looking to cool off a room and it's cooler outside. DESIGN: This fan fits into my windows perfectly. What I like is that it has two plastic 'flaps' on top that grip the window and hold it in securely. Other window fans I've owned didn't have this, and without the flap, makes it much easier for the fan to fall out or be bumped out of place. This fan stays securely in the window. Equally awesome is that the fan has a built in accordion style slider that easily slides out and fills the open portion of the window. It has two lock buttons that lock the slider into place as well so it doesn't end up moving while securing the fan into the window. REMOTE: This fan comes with a remote control. This is handy for when you're laying in bed and want to adjust the temp, turn off or turn on the fan. You can control everything from the remote (as you could on the fan itself). QUIET: This fan is extremely quiet. A few times during the day I caught myself walking up to the fan to see if it was on because it was so quiet. Turns out, it was running on high and just super quiet. Still great airflow even with little noise. AIR FLOW: Great air flow. Strong breeze into the room and cools off our large master bedroom significantly without issue. These are strong little fans. TIP: The fan has a standard/average length cord so make sure the window you plan to place it in has a plug near by. If not, have a short extention cord handy to ensure it reaches the outlet. I purchased this fan based on its great amazon ratings which is also why I wanted to give back and write this lengthy detailed review. This review is my own and I didn't receive any perks or freebies for writing it. I'm extremely satisfied with this fan and will likely be buying another one for our house. You will not be disappointed with this fan. You will love it! Five stars!!
