Honeywell HW-628 Twin Window Fan

I purchased TWO of these fans based on the numerous reviews and that the product offered exhaust AND fan combo. The first fan unit was plugged in, turned it on and worked from an electrical standpoint with no problem, however, it did not do a sufficient job of exhausting warm air out of the room. The second fan unit was plugged in, turned on and one of the two fans on the unit sparked and didn't work. The second fan to that same unit worked fine. I have returned both products due to the exhaust not doing a sufficient job (maybe they are better suited for a 6' x 6' room), the individual fans to each unit are too small to really pull in cool air from outside, and the LOW setting is louder than the medium setting of my other large box fans. It's too bad, as I was hopeful that this was the product that would have done the job I needed it to do. I'll stick with the two box fans I already have since they're quieter (which is a huge thing, really) and I can just place them in a window in a reverse position to exhaust warm air from a room.

GOOD OVERALL WINDOW FAN.

HAS FAN & EXHAUST CAPABILITIES. DUAL FANS W/INDIVDUAL CONTROL OPTIONS.

EXHAUST FEATURE LETS YOU SUCK HOT AIR OUT OF THE ROOM "NICE FEATURE"

MUCH BETTER THAN ANY STAND ALONE OSCILLATING FAN WE OWNED!
NEVER GETS KNOCK OVER OR HAS TO BE MOVED AROUND FOR VACUUMING, ECT.

This replaces an older version of the fan. This one, however, is noisier than our original. Otherwise, it is a decent, durable fan.

I had borrowed a Holmes unit from a friend and thought that it was great except for not being able to control each fan separately or to direct the airflow.

So I got the Honeywell. It's about the same noise level as the Holmes and each fan has its own control. There are louvers on the fan so you can direct the air to some degree.

I didn't like that the lowest setting was not really that low. Also the panels that pull out from the side to help it fit into the window were on a spring and hard to manage.

But still a great buy.

I bought this fan for my sons room, which doesn't seem to get much air flow like the rest of the bedrooms. It took about half an hour to get it installed in the window and then we turned it on. As I said, it is a bit noisy and I would imagine it would be hard to fall asleep with it on. It does an excellent job of cooling the room if the outside air is below about 73 degrees. The one downside that I noticed is that when we have the central air conditioning on, there is no way to close off the fans from the outside, and the heat can come right in. Perhaps Honeywell could consider including a couple of pop off covers for this purpose. If I were looking for a fan again, I would probably get a quiet floor model instead.
