Freshness at Full Speed
Maintaining proper ventilation in large areas is only possible if you have a powerful whole house fan, just like this AirKing model. This high-performance ventilation system will be most helpful during the summer heat since it promotes a welcome air circulation intaking quite a lot of fresh air from outside. The fan has a powerful motor capable of moving up to 3560 CFM and it's reversible. Thus, you can either move stale air out of your room or get some fresh air in.
Surely enough, this window fan is suitable for commercial use - it will be really helpful in any cafe kitchen, in a small workshop, etc. Equipped with an industrial-grade motor, the AirKing window fan can effectively ventilate large and medium spaces and if you have a small room - it will ventilate it incredibly fast. However, the motor makes noise when set to the highest speed, so if the noise is too loud for you, just select a slower mode. The low settings are particularly comfortable at night.
It is not surprising that this top-quality reversible window fan is made to last. The unit is equipped with a powder-coated stainless steel blade and grills and an impact-resistant plastic housing and only requires simple maintenance.

Operation is very straightforward; an ergonomic rotary control will allow you to easily preset the desired speed and mode (Intake or Exhaust). The switch is on the front panel of the window fan, so you can change the mode in a matter of seconds.
What makes this model stand out from the crowd is the Storm Guard feature. In case of bad weather, you will be able to close the window behind the appliance, which is impossible with most window fans on the market - you would need to remove them before sliding the window down.
All in all, this AirKing whole house window fan is one of the best window fans in terms of power, durability, and safety. We highly recommend it for both home and commercial use.

SMART DESIGN
The Bionaire BW2300 window exhaust fan is an excellent choice if you can't tolerate hot weather and would like to have cool fresh air circulating around your house all year long. The unit has two fans that can move an incredibly large volume of air for their size. Yet, they run without any vibration and are almost whisper-quiet at the lowest speed. By the way, the unit features three different speeds (high, medium, and low) for more controlled airflow. It uses 43 watts on low, 49 watts on medium, and 64 watts on high speed. On the highest setting, the fans run incredibly fast but they are a bit on the loud side.
The 8.5-inch fans are very smartly designed and can work both simultaneously or independently. They can operate in an exchange mode where one fan pushes in fresh cool air from the outside and the other exhausts hot stale air from inside. In other words, two fans can be set independently for a full room air circulation. This reversible fan feature is fabulous, as it gives you an opportunity to draw in cooler air into the kitchen, for example, and exhaust out stuffy air while cooking. This way, it can cool any room you need, however, remember that the outside temperature rules everything. It should be at least ten degrees cooler than the inside temperature.
This twin fan can be mounted on double-hung, vertical-slider, and casement windows. It comes fully assembled and with two solid, and one expandable side extender to fit non-standard windows as well (from 24 to 37 inches wide). The extender panels offer rigid support for either horizontal or vertical orientation. If needed, you can buy additionally the Bionaire 3-inch spacers that can be stacked together to give this fan extra height or width. The Bionaire BW2300 is an excellent 2-in-1 unit that can not only exhaust air from your room but also cool it down a bit. An excellent alternative to AC units.
SO EASY TO CONTROL
Made with a user's convenience in mind, this multi-fan comes with a handy remote control that allows you to change speeds, airflow direction, temperature, and toggle between automatic and manual modes. It requires 2 AAA batteries and can work from up to 15 feet away.
The Bionaire fan has a programmable digital LED thermostat that is extremely easy to use. You can set the desired temperature level (from 60 to 80 degrees F) and the fan will automatically turn off when it reaches the target temperature. If you don't need to use the thermostat function, you can simply turn the fan on and it'll run all night. The unit features an LCD screen showing the selected temperature and the ambient room temperature. Also, there is a button allowing you to change the brightness of the temperature readout.

Two in One
For less than $40, you can get an extremely effective double window exhaust fan. It features two 8.5-inch fans with six blades each. The fans can run both simultaneously or independently. This way, you can set one fan on intake and the other one on exhaust during hot nights. The fans will circulate the cool night air through your bedroom, keeping a perfect temperature. Or you can install the fan in the kitchen window to draw in fresh air or exhaust out stale air when cooking.
The fan can operate either manually or automatically. It has a thermostat that can maintain a selected temperature in your room. You can preset 60, 65, 70, 75, or 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the unit will automatically turn itself off once the sensor detects the selected temperature. Also, you can select low or high mode. The fans run relatively quiet at both speeds. The unit uses about 46 watts on low and 63 watts on high modes. It has a one-touch electronic control for switching between temperature settings and switching device on/off. You'll need to push through every mode to get to "off", which is not very convenient. However, for the price, it's a minor sacrifice. Overall, if you need an affordable twin fan to exchange air with outside, this one will fit the bill perfectly.
Pretty Easy to Install
This twin fan is lightweight and will fit your window frame nicely. It's suitable for double-hung, slider, and casement windows with minimum openings of 25 inches wide and 12 inches high. The fan is extremely easy to install.
For double hung and slider windows, you just need to set the unit into your window opening. In case it doesn't fit snugly to the top or the bottom of the window, attach the extender panel (or panels) and pull out the built-in extender screen. If needed, you can buy additional extenders for this very model of fan. Then, close your window. The bottom edge of the window should rest on the flat area on the top of the fan. The power cord runs from the lower left corner, so it won't interfere with the bottom of the window frame.
If you have a casement window, you'll need a special mounting bracket. However, you can order it for free. Just specify the type of your window when making an order. For greater safety, the manufacturer recommends you to leave your window screen in place.

What Is a Window Fan?
Using a window fan is one of the most popular ways to ventilate a room or a house. This ergonomic device can be installed directly into a window aperture so as not to take much space in a house or apartment. The installation process is simple and requires no effort or special skills and experience - you can easily do it yourself and save up. Meanwhile, some window fans are suitable for tabletop use. More often than not, modern models have ergonomic extenders to suit most window sizes.
As usual, window fans are used in summer when it's roasting hot. Allowing you to improve air circulation and ventilate your home, these appliances are way cheaper than regular air conditioners. Of course, window fans are a compulsory accessory for cafes, stores, and so on.
For maintaining an optimal level of humidity and circulation, learn more about misting fans. And a high-quality hygrometer will help you control your indoor humidity level.
What Features to Compare
Type and Use
Choosing the right window fan isn't that simple. You need to know some major features for understanding what kind of appliance will work best for your needs. There are 3 main types of window fans:
- Exhaust fans - they remove stale, polluted, or smelly air from certain premises. These fans are used mostly in bathrooms, kitchens, workshops, small labs, etc.
- Intake fans - they are used for taking fresh air into the rooms without an exhaust system. These fans bring fresh air, slightly increasing the pressure in the room, and ensure quite efficient ventilation.
- Reversible fans - they are the most efficient and can both remove and take in the air.
It is also important to distinguish between single and double window fans. While single window fans can either intake outdoor air or exhaust the indoor air, double window fans are capable of doing both things simultaneously by rotating in opposite directions. In other words, twin window fans are more versatile than their single fan counterparts.
Performance
To decide what kind of window fan you need, keep in mind what premises you need to ventilate. While some compact units may be enough to ventilate smaller rooms, more efficient fans can handle whole-house ventilation. Check how powerful your chosen appliance is - the more power the motor yields, the more air the fan can move. It has a direct impact on the air flow, i.e. the amount of air moved by the fan. The latter is usually measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Why is this rate important? Because it helps estimate how much space it can handle and if that's what you need. For example, the area of 1,000 cubic feet can be fully ventilated by a window fan with 160 CFM performance.
Convenience
The last issue to take into account is the convenience of use. No need to say, any machine with a motor makes some noise and it's very much unlikely that you'll find sleeping in a noisy room enjoyable. Therefore, it's essential to check on the noise that different window fans produce. Remember, 65 dB and a lower level of noise is considered to be quiet and fully comfortable for most people.
Next, check the peculiarities of design - a device should fit well into a window opening. Window fans with so-called 'French blinds' are the most effective for window installation since they don't let the cold air in. Some elaborately designed window fans will allow you to close the window behind the fan that will come in very useful in case of foul weather.
Finally, make sure to consider the material your chosen window fan is made of. To a big extent, it's the material that predetermines the service life of a device. Most twin fans are made from plastic so they are pretty lightweight and portable. On the other hand, heavy-duty window fans with powder-coated stainless steel parts will serve you for ages.
