Product Description

Even on the hottest days, your parked car is kept cooler and the air fresher thanks to this solar-powered ventilator/fan. It maintains a safe, comfortable temperature level for your return. Place vent on top of window, then close window and lock up. Its solar panel uses sunlight - not the car's electrical wiring or batteries - to power the built-in fan. Fresh air is drawn in as hot, stale air vents out. It even helps to eliminate pet and tobacco odors. Installs in seconds and fits windows on all makes and models.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, July 30, 2006

I was disappointed that this highly advertised device basically had no impact on the heat buildup in my car. Lowering the window slightly does just as much good. There is virtually no air movement despite the spinning "fan" so it doesn't do what it claims to do. Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT waste your money!!!!!!, August 5, 2006

If I could give this product a 0 star I would. Not only does our local TV station do a "Does It Work" program that tested this product (and it FAILED). I have seen them up close and personal. Using them with automatic windows or tinted windows causes problems and they will not fit on every style window. You must shut the door slowly or it will fall off. It also breaks very easily.
What can I say, other than do not waste a dime on this product. It does not work. If you can get it onto the window and get it to actually work...then write a review and explain how you accomplished this enormous feat. No one I have encountered has been able to do this.

Amazon Verified Purchase

Any claims made to the effectiveness of this product are blatant lies and false advertising. The makes of this product decided to use a cheap and small solar panel array that does not provide anywhere near enough power to run the fan properly. The solar panel only works if the unit is receiving 100% full direct midday sun. I have a thermometer in my car and I tested this, one day with my windows fully closed and the next day with the fan installed and the next with my windows cracked and no fan. Day one and two had the same result-about 110 degrees inside the car, day three had a result of 100 degrees inside the car.I currently have on order a similar sized but higher powered solar panel that I am going to use to replace the OEM and see how much better it will perform with an appropriate panel.

***EDIT***
This item will perform better if you replace the included solar panel with a larger, higher quality one. In order for this item to come anywhere near the advertised claims, you will need a solar panel the same size as the area that faces the car's window.
