I've run this fan for 10 hours per day for more than seven years and it's still going strong. I just ordered a 2nd fan since I know this one can't possibly last forever and I don't want to risk not being able to find this same model again.
For a year or two, I had it mounted in my bedroom window. Since my window wasn't the sash type, I placed the fan on its side and used several strips of earthquake putty to help ensure a solid fit. It was perfect! I also plugged it into a timer so it turned on and off automatically. When we moved to another house, I couldn't mount it in the window because our security system wouldn't arm with windows open so I leaned it against the wall and used the same timer to turn it on and off. And that's where it's remained for the last five years!
The best thing about this fan is the lovely "white noise" it emits. It masks the sound of cats and cars and furnace noises so I don't wake up constantly throughout the night. Seven years is more than 2500 nights of blissful sleep!

I was very disappointed with this fan. The motors are fairly powerful, but everything else...where to start.The sliding accordion panels on the sides are supposed to let you adjust the width to fit in your window. To put it simply, they don't work. They won't stay extended! There are screws that you can supposedly tighten to keep it in place, but they don't work and stripped out really easily when I tried to tighten them. And...screws? I have a $20 Holmes fan that, instead of making you mess around with screws has a simple plastic lock for the extenders that works perfectly.
As for the actual fans, the motor on the left fan makes a rattling/clicking noise.
And as for the controls, that $20 Holmes fan I mentioned above has completely independent controls for each side of the fan, including 3 separate speeds. This fan has 2 speeds, which cannot be set independently for each side.
The fan also doesn't fit the window at all well. Aside from the issue with the accordion sides, the top and bottom don't seem to have been designed to fit into the window. Most window fans have a groove on the top, for example. This one doesn't.
I'm sending this fan back. Would not buy again, and I urge you to steer clear as well. $40 ought to buy a much better fan than this!

I compared the features on this fan with many other brands/models before purchasing it. I was looking for a fan to control the output/input of the air without having to do it manually. There is also the option to draw in and push out air at the same time. I am very happy with this fan. It has high and low settings. It also has a type of thermostat which I don't use. The only downside I have found is that you cannot direct the air flow as the vents are not moveable. Another plus is that it can be freestanding, which is good because it is 25" wide and my windows are only 24" my fault for not measuring first! I am very happy with this fan and would highly recommend it!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lasko 2138 8-Inch Electrically Reversible Twin Window Fan
I am using this fan as a test in my restaurant. I have a problem area that holds smoke and cooking odors in my dining room and I have installed this fan vertically in a small sliding window next to one of the guest tables. To be honest with you, when I first turned this thing on I expected it to move more air and be alot louder. But as it sits I have found that it actually does a very good job at getting rid of a very noticable amount of odor and smoke (without taxing my A/C system!). And my customers can sit next to it and not even notice that it is running! Most likely I will probably keep this unit as long as it runs and be quite satisfied with the results, especially knowing that a commercial unit would cost several hundred dollars more and most likely have to be professionally installed..$$$$$.
