I've had two of these for 11 years and counting
5 out of 5 stars
I've had two of these for 11 years and counting
I bought two of these in 2013 and they're still in frequent use. Only one of them is just starting to get sticky buttons, but that's the only problem I've had all this time (hopefully they're still made to last). I've used these in both vertical and horizontal sliding windows.For those using this in a horizontal sliding window looking for a way to block the open part above the fan while also letting in light, see my attached picture, and check out "clear twin wall polycarbonate sheets" at your preferred hardware store. I easily cut one to size with a utility knife, ran some foam tape along the edge that meets the sliding window to make a seal (it's the black strip on the left in the picture), held it in place on the inside of the window frame with a few very small pieces of nano-tape (you can just make out a clear rectangle of nano-tape in the upper right corner of the pic), and placed the window fan below it (probably should've cleaned it before the pic). Then I took a random piece of packing foam and cut a strip to block the air from seeping in the gap where the sheet and the fan meet. I also taped a cut-to-size carbon pre-filter to the back of the fan to hopefully keep the fan from pulling pollen into the house (not sure if it works, but I'm sure something's better than nothing).

5.0 out of 5 stars It works great in my bedroom
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
Verified Purchase
After looking into many window fans and reading tons of reviews, especially the one-star reviews, I decided to choose this one. All of the window units had some bad reviews. Some of the other models had comments recommending that people should consider this unit. There WERE a lot of 5 stars for this one.

The one thing that really concerned me were the horror stories of people dealing with Bionaire customer service. In the end I took the plunge and went with this unit.

So far, I am very pleased with this fan. It blows very well in the high setting. I have used it blowing in (for cool night air), blowing out (to blow the day's heat out of the room), and the combination. I love that you can change the fan direction at the touch of a button. Other window fans need to be physically turned around in the window to blow in or out- and that would be a pain.

It fit well into my 36" wide window, and I was able to get the side wings nice and snug. Some people complained about flimsiness, but they were just as I expected. With a little wiggling you can get them in perfectly. My window is screened and this unit was not too bulky and fit perfectly in front of the screen. Note that there are tiny gaps at the top and bottom of the wings which are unavoidable. If you have no screen, a small bit of weather stripping should take care of any gaps.

The buttons are easy to use.

Regarding noise- in my opinion it sounds like a fan with a soft blow, and is less noisy than previous fans that I have had. It does not interfere with my sleep.

Some people have complained that the temperature reading is not accurate. I haven't bothered to determine that. I watch it to see when the temperature rises or falls. On a hot day it's fun to see it fall.

I am in an older home with no air conditioning. This window fan has made a huge difference in my comfort.

Time will tell whether or not it is durable. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now- so far so good! Right now I recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great powerful fan
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUY BUENA COMPRA.
Reviewed in Mexico on June 14, 2024
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT AND EXCEPTIONAL FAN BUT....

This Bionaire Twin Air is a great fan. It does everything perfectly. Better than any similar type in function and price. Just plug it in, press power, and its ready. Very easy to understand and operate at the touch of a digital button. Extremely powerful enough to bring cool air in and warm air out, or both at the same time. No need to manually rotate the fan. All three fan levels of low, med, or high range from whisper quiet to a mild hum and a very soothing sound. The temperature gage is very sensitive, accurate and a nice addition. The dimming on the numbers is very slight. The print words on the buttons are very tiny. The remote I do not need or use, but seems very good.

The fan fits my condo living and bedroom window slider tracks beautifully tight against the interior frame, allowing me to still open and close the exterior slider to expose the screen. The extenders are good, but not needed for me. The fan does not have to be moved at all. I get cold air in or smelly air out quickly. On a windy day the fans did blow in and fell on the floor twice, but still held up perfectly and very durable casing. A small piece of packing tape stuck on the fan side to window frame solved it from falling.

After 30 days this fan is exactly what is needed at a slightly higher price and worth it. A 10+++ out of 10.
I have used the other lesser price and manually turn around fans, twice, and they only last about 2-4 years. This fan is exceptionally good and exactly as described and the exact size is 24.5 x 13 x 2.25. Trusting the name Bionaire fans will last many years.

UPDATE: One fans digital control panel on/off/speed/temperature completely stopped working at almost the 1 year end warranty. Contacted Sunbeam warranty by email with amazon purchase receipt for workaround investigation and test and replacement offered, but none in stock but possible credit back, so then referred to Bionaire for same info and slow repeatative frustrating response received so far on purchase price credit. Seems willing but waiting to see, then will purchase again on amazon......HOWEVER PRICE IS NOW $50 MORE..... WHAT GIVES AMAZON..... NOT HAPPY HERE. .

5.0 out of 5 stars Use a transformer and it is a perfect unit!

You will need a step down transformer for it to work in Australia.

As a renter with limited options in a house with literally zero airflow unless there is a storm, this window fan has been a game changer! Being able to refresh the air inside has helped keep the temperature down by a couple of degrees in partnership with a portable aircon in another part of the house.

Previously, the aircon would only really stretch to the room it was in but the window fan has improved the general circulation of air, pushing the cooler air around as it does.

I have it in my kitchen window so it also acts as an extra exhaust during cooking. The exhaust setting also works well during humid days, drawing the sticky air out of the house much more effectively than I had anticipated.

Next summer, I'll get a second to use iny bedroom - the only room left suffering from the lack of air movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Window Fan!
Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2018

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!!
