Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This double window fan can draw in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhaust stale, hot air from inside. Or, because of the independent draw-in and exhaust-out settings, it can do both simultaneously. With a thermostat that turns the fan on and off according to a preset temperature level, plus three speeds for each fan, the unit adjusts nicely to conditions. Designed to fit double-hung, vertical, and casement windows, the fan comes with a built-in 7-inch extender and two separate 3-inch extenders, letting you custom fit it in windows from 24 to 37 inches wide. And because the unit is lightweight plastic, you can move it easily from room to room. The fans have six blades and measure 8-1/2 inches in diameter. Overall, the unit is 12-1/4 inches high, arrives fully assembled, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

2.0 out of 5 stars Holmes 2041 vs Honeywell HW628 window fan, August 2, 2005

I recently compared the Holmes and Honeywell (Kaz) twin window fans side by side. Both were reasonably quiet, electronically reversible, and were similarly priced (Lowes and Target, respectively). The Holmes fan is more attractively designed but the Honeywell had 2 to 3 times the blowing strength as the Holmes. Also, the Honeywell fan (but not the Holmes fan) has angled louvers which can be turned to direct the flow from each fan in a different direction. I don't know which fan is built more to last, but based on the airflow, I purchased the Honeywell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Controlling Humidity, August 16, 2001

By

This review is from: Holmes HAWF-2041 Twin Window Fan (Kitchen)

We recently moved from the High Desert of California (which was very hot and dry)to Hawaii (which is very hot and humid). In California, we surrvived using a swamp cooler to provide cool, moist air. In Hawaii, good air flow is necessary to surrvive the humidity. Room fans just blow hot, humid air around inside the house. It is better than nothing, but not very effective.

We found the Holmes Window Fan which features both Intake and Exhaust options. One is installed in our kitchen window to Exhaust hot air when cooking and Intake cool air the rest of the time. Other fans are installed in bedroom windows. The one on the cool side of the house is set to Intake cool air and the other one is set to Exhaust hot air. This provides constant circulation and makes our home very comfrontable.

The only complaint we have is cleaning. One side of the fan comes completely off for easy cleaning. The other side is attached to the motors. We have to unscrew the motors and put them in zip lock baggies while we clean the rest of the fan. This could be easily corrected by making both sides independent of the motors.

Even with this inconvenience, this is the Best product we have found to keep our home cool and comfortable in a humid climate.

I've had this fan now for over two years and use it in the summer to keep my home office cool. It is fairly quiet and moves a lot of air either into or out of the room. The build quality is good using quality plastic and tasteful styling.

At first, I found no way to easily clean the unit of dust at the end of the season. Disassembly seemed a bit complicated for the task of cleaning. So I just give it a good spraying with "Simple Green" cleaner on the back deck and hose it off after 30 seconds with a light spray from the garden hose. I let it dry well on the deck, then store it for the winter. Good product at a good price.
