HOLMES Dual Blade Digital Window Fan with Programmable Thermostat Control, Dual 3 Blade Fans, 2 Speeds, Expandable Side Panel with Additional Extender Panels, White

I had an older version, like 25+ years old version. I loved it so much because, as a light sleeper, I can't have loud noises during sleep or I wake up. This fans noise levels are just loud enough that it does not keep me awake. On its highest setting, I can hear the fan blades and wind but it isn't to where it keeps me up. I am pleased with it and love the legs that come with it. The fan power is perfect for a small bedroom. The ease of installing it was a sinch and the value is perfect for what I bought. Depending on the state's night air, it can cool down the room or just have the air from outside coming in. I am very satisfied!

This is a very nice window fan, and actually more affordable than other window fans with fewer features. It has large 9" in diameter fans which move a lot of air. It has a very functional digital control panel. You can adjust the fan speeds and the intake and exhaust without having to remove the fan from the window like other brands. You can also make one fan exhaust and the other intake, which is nice. It comes with a remote control which works flawlessly and is really handy. Also, the grills over the fans remove easily and make cleaning a snap - unlike other makes of window fans that end up getting grossly dirty after awhile - especially if you live in a city. It comes in nice packaging with all the features printed on the package, with photos. It would make a well-appreciated gift.

This simple, inexpensive window fan works! Pulling in cool air from outside, without leaving the window fully open, allows me to sleep securely. I opted for the simple Hi/Lo/Off manual control (switch) model, as I have this connected to a Bluetooth enabled power outlet and wall switch. Have used this (summer months only) since 2023 and it is still running like new in 2025. I have this mounted vertically which is another plus.CONS: (Manual Control Model)-No switch for exhaust mode, the whole unit must be removed and reversed in the window. However, the unit IS very lightweight.-No ON/OFF Timer mode.-No Temp Set control mode.-Privacy, anyone outside can see inside through the fan.

I give this fan ten stars. Quiet, well made, inexpensive, impressive performance. Three speeds with easy control is great. reversible flow an added plus.

I bought this for the laundry room window on the South side of our un-airconditioned house. I did not expect great results, but thought it would help keep it from being unbearable as we are coming into 100-degree temps this week.I haven’t used the remote yet - it’s in a very small room - so I’m not reviewing that.Pluses: Everything.Easy to install! just open the box, slide it out, pre-assembled, put it in the window, and plug it in. There are three settings on each side, one side for speed (low, medium, high) and the other for mode (intake, exhaust, exchange).Our house has no central air. We have a larger size room air conditioner in the center room two rooms away that is running on max cool with a tiny rotating fan in front of it to move the air around. We also have a Lasko rotating ion fan in the living room that is actually making it cold in that room.Effective: Right now it’s 92 degrees outside the laundry room window with the sun blasting through. The new fan’s settings are on High Exhaust, and the temperature in the room is very bearable and quite comfortable.The last three nights I had it on Low Exchange, and it was actually chilly in there in the morning with outside temps in the 50s at night and mid- to high 80s in the days.I honestly am blown away by how effective this fan is.I did put little pieces of white duct tape along the very thin cracks between the fan and the window frame on all four sides to keep micro bugs out.It is slightly loud, but that is irrelevant to me, and actually a plus considering where it is, so that’s okay.I did buy the three year warranty, just in case, and kept the box so we can store it away when it gets cold again.There are no negatives to it.Highly recommend!

My biggest issue with this fan is its flimsy, low-quality construction. The plastic feels thin, brittle, and lightweight—similar to seasonal plastic items like 99¢ Halloween buckets or Dollar Tree products. From the moment you unbox it, the fan screams “disposable.”Functionally, the fan works as expected, and I appreciate the ability to reverse the airflow without physically removing and flipping it. However, the side extenders were a major letdown. They have an accordion-like design, but the clips meant to hold them in place are just as cheaply made as the rest of the unit. There are four clips (one on each side, top, and bottom), and straight out of the box, one was already malfunctioning. This meant the extenders wouldn’t stay in place—a deal-breaker for me.At $45–$50, the fan is simply overpriced for its quality. If it were closer to $25—the price of a basic box fan—it would be a reasonable purchase. But at its current price point, the poor build quality is hard to justify.Pros Worth Mentioning:• Quiet operation• Good airflow on the highest setting• Auto-dimming lights (turn off after ~5 seconds—great for light-sensitive sleepers)• Included remote (small, but convenient)• Customizable airflow (both fans inward, both outward, or one in and one out—a must-have feature missing in many window fans)I’m giving it three stars solely because of the customizable airflow feature, but the build quality leaves much to be desired.
