My product review is more about window compatibility than the products functionality. First of all, this product in my opinion is made for thick window frames with a 2 inch gap within the frames with around 2 inches of depth. Not having a window screen is also a likely requirement for this product. With that in mind, it takes out about a majority of the marketplace.
I was looking forward to this but was disappointed. My window frames have a 3/4 inch gap and depth in the frames and has a window screen like all the windows in my house. I would have also liked to install it vertically since my room's windows slide open from the sides.
My suggestions for a better product;
1) There are gaps at the bottom of the the foam blocks. There are no gaps at the top, why the bottom? Fix that. The bottom of the foam blocks should also bee thinner. So long as they are pressed against the ends of the window frame's inner grooves the thickness shouldn't matter much.
2) Stick a plastic plate on the outer side of the foam blocks with a function that allows you to snap and lock other foam blocks to each other so installing vertically becomes more feasible.
3) Needs a re-design with window screens in mind since most houses have them and most consumers would be unwilling to want to remove them. Keeping the window screens are also necessary to help prevent bugs like spiders and flying insects from going inside the outer fan's vents.

Vornado TRANSOM Window Fan with Remote Control
Transom is the result of a complete re-imagining of what a window fan should be. The air chamber abundantly draws fresh air from the outside in — or reverses electronically to exhaust stale air out. Turn the power off, and like no other window fan can, Transom automatically rotates into a closed position. Powerful airflow circulation and comfort at half the height of conventional window fans, Transom is easy to install, blends elegantly into the space and preserves your view. Transom seals off windows 26” to 40” wide with the patented Soft-fit System that provides a sleek, satisfying and snug fit from end to end, without having to remove your screen. Transom – a new kind of window fan.

This fan is very low profile, and it is designed to NOT be like a smaller version of a window fan, but designed to look like an actual window "unit". There aren't any blades, and when you switch directions, a bar like contraption rotates in the middle, switching the airflow. And as for privacy, with a regular window fan with blades, people outside can see inside at night. Since this fan doesn't have any blades, no one can see anything from outside, it is solidly blacked out and from the street, it just looks like part of the house almost, hardly noticeable.
As for the sound of the fan, the low speed is super quiet, and I could still hear the frogs and crickets outside. That is *super* important for me, because if I can't have the fan on and hear nature outside, I send it back. I need to hear nature sounds outside, and this unit absolutely fits that bill. The foam blocks that are included are made from flexible foam that you can shape into what you need to keep the outside air where it belongs.
I was home for the first time it rained, and decided to keep the fan on to see what would happen. Of course every storm is different, but for that particular storm, it worked just fine. Since the unit doesn't have blades, it is designed with a "roof" over the air bar that is inside, and the rain just rolled off. So I would sort of feel okay that if I were away from home and if it rained, that nothing too terribly bad would happen. But really, I would never feel absolutely confident with ANY electrical appliance left in the rain.
The entire unit feels solid and built to last, and I hope it does. The only thing they could include to make it better would be a smart app that works with Google, Alexa, Siri, etc. Developers... please do this!

I love this fan!
By Kimberly B. on August 13, 2021
I love this window fan, and it is exactly what I was looking for. I have AC so I'm not using it to cool any room, so I can't help much if that is what you are looking for. I need this fan because I need to have a window open in a room or I sort of feel claustrophobic. So with the window open, I need an exchange of air, but quiet enough that I can hear outside.By Kimberly B. on August 13, 2021

What a waste of money.
By Tatiana on August 15, 2021
The fan would’ve been ok if not the huge problem with installation. How difficult is it to provide appropriate extensions. So disappointed in Vornado. I have 5 different vornado fans and this one is absolute fiasco. The extension blocks are shorter than fan itself. The is no way it can be installed without ridiculous gaps in the normal window. The the instructions picture it came with and how it supposed to look when installed. They need to come with better idea of how to make it work for the 37 inch window. How disappointing. Not I got stuck with a fan I can not return. Never again.
