This fan barely moves any air. The fan was wired backwards and to have it blow air in you have to set it to exhaust. After three weeks of use, one of the two fans quit working. I wouldn't recommend this fan to anyone.

My son's 6th floor dorm room in San Diego was 80 degrees with no air conditioning. This fan was perfect for two reasons. First, it does not require installation in the window because it has feet and he can place it on the window sill, so he can leave the screen on and not worry about bugs. Secondly the fan exchanges the room air with an intake fan and exhaust fan. His room is running 8 degrees cooler and he is sleeping much better. He already had a free standing fan and wanted a second fan. I am so glad we purchased this Optimus window fan.

The fan is reliable, works fine, but the output is miniscule. For the price, I would have assumed I would be able to create a nice breeze. When the wind kicks up outside over 10 mph, it actually makes the fans move faster than if they were plugged in. Would not recommend if you are using it in the South during the summer.

Honest reviews on Optimus F-5285 8-Inch Electrically Reversible Twin 3-Speed Window

I tried this product out. But it is a cheap piece of junk for the most part. It does not fit in a standard window very well, and is somewhat clunky to use the side visors. The entire product is made of very cheap flimsy plastic. I doubt it is going to last very long, and it feels like it will fall apart if I touch it. It is not worth the price, not even close.

This fan is easy to handle, very light and quiet. All the controls are clearly marked and there is no need to remove the fan from the window to use on the exhaust setting. The thermostat control is not numerical but variable which gives more options than low, med, high. The low and medium fan settings are very quiet. The high fan setting is a little louder but not disturbing. This fan comes with removal feet so it can be used outside of the window. I checked many fans and this one is priced fairly so with no tax and free shipping, it is a good value.
