Air King 9155 Window Fan, 16-Inch,White

Installed within minutes like a dream, is whisper quiet, blades are balanced perfectly, fits tight and pulls in oceans of cool air at night through the open windows.The only thing we needed to accommodate was that we aren't able to shut the window behind the unit. Truthfully though, neither of us is bothered by that.The unit removes as easily as the old box-fan it replaced, but goes back in effortlessly, where the box-fan required jimmying the cardboard or whatever we were using that year to control the air-flow around the unit. Painful process, inefficient (crikey! The air flowed BACK inside, around the edges!) and noisy, like that place we almost lived with a train running outside. (Realtor forgot to mention. Fortunately we were in the backyard when the train ran through).Needless to say, we are beyond pleased with this one. Superb quality. Moves the air like no tomorrow! And i can hear the tv again... ;-)if anyone has a clue how to slide the window shut behind the unit, please leave a comment! Thank you ;-)

Out of the box, installation is difficult with just one person. It's easier to just have someone hold the fan while you screw it in. The fan doesn't rattle or shake at all, the blades are perfectly balanced. It's relatively quiet for what it does. If you're in the same room, you're gonna notice it. If I'm in a different room, I barely notice it if at all.Since I've had it, I'm able to get away with no AC until temps enter the mid-80s. You can feel it moving air through the entire floor it's on. Ultimately I'd say its worth a shot. It sounds like some people get some with unbalanced blades, but overall it's well constructed, and has been well worth the money for me!

7/6/17 : Fan motor died last night. We got four years of seasonal use out of this unit. I installed it and left it in the window all year long. So for about 3.00 a month this unit saved me what we'd spend on electric for central air or 3 window units in our house + the initial cost of the AC units themselves. We think it was worth it. Will buy again.This unit works the best if its kept clean. Ours got alot of dirt build up on the frame and blades. Also dirt accumulates on the window screen where air is pulled in from outside. If those three things are kept clean (Maybe 2 hours of clean up at the end of each season) the unit moves air like new each season.May 2016: The first one we recieved was fryed, right out of the box. The box had a big dent in one corner. The fan itself looked fine but only 3 of its six speeds worked. The fan didnt have a template with it either.Amazon shipped me a new one right away. The second arrived in better shape, no major dings or dents to the box. Some of the screws were missing so I had to pirate from the DOA fan. But it did have the template which made installation a snap.The fan works fine now. Cools the downstairs down pretty quick in our 1000 sq ft. home. (We dont use our upstairs much). We've had it about 3 weeks and no problems, as long as we remember to keep enough windows open in the house when its on exhaust. Its a powerful fan and the motor strains if you dont give it enough supply air, creating some noise. Thats operator error NOT a manufacturer defect!I'd still recommend this to anyone with a smaller home that wants to cool their home on sub 85 degree days. Eighty five and up, especially with humidity...turn on the AC.

This fan is the bomb. If you’re thinking about it just go ahead and pull the trigger. We live in a 1000 sq ft apartment and I purchased this to put in our guest room hoping to save some money on A/C. I couldn’t be happier. The build quality is excellent, the install was easy, and the fan has some serious power. On medium it will pull a draft throughout the entire house. Some notes from my experience: Ditch the hole template and just put the fan in the window, mark where the holes need to be, and put the screws in yourself. I used it and it led to the holes being far enough off that the fan wouldn’t fit but close enough that the second round of holes were impacted. Secondly, the fan housing is prone to rattle as the window sill expands and contracts. It may not bother you but if it might, some closed cell foam tape used for sealing window A/C units can be placed around then perimeter of the housing before install. And for the people who said it was loud: what did you expect? It’s an industrial fan and a pretty quiet one at that. If you’ve ever owned a box fan it is about on that same level but will outperform it in every possible way. Highly recommend.

Likes: Fan is heavy duty and well made, easy to set desired setting, pretty quiet for a fan that moves a great amount of air. Box fans, even twin fans cannot move air like this one! It mounts across the window frame where the fan does not interfere with the window movement. As you can see from the picture, the fan is in front of the window and allows the window to move freely behind the fan instead of fitting directly in the window-well. ** It would be nice though to have a version with the use of a remote control.Tips: Open a non-fan window and put fan on exhaust and the air will rush in from the non-fan window; keep any window curtain away from the fan's front because they will interfere with the air flow. On intake, other non-fan windows will exhaust out air in other rooms to freshen them.
