I bought this unit to replace another similar product and this one is far superior. Installation is very easy and the included foam spacers do the trick well. The unit is efficient in both fan modes and is very easy to use. I have two small gripes: 1) Alexa is not my preferred home control service. If this was matter-enabled, I would use Apple Home (preferred) or Google Home. Alexa is very buggy. 2) I wish the unit included material to seal out spaces on the top of the unit. Having some sort of fuzzy surface on top would do the trick and look nicer than the steel wool I used.
Love this fan so much we bought a second unit. This time we bought the unit with Alexa.. The setup barcode being on the bottom of the unit itself tossed us for a loop. Wish that info had been in the instructions. Still LOVE IT, and it works perfectly.
Good fan, but the Auto Temp leaves something to be desired

overall, this is a good design and seems to be a solidly built fan. I wish it had a built in screen, but few window fans do. The thing that is driving me a little crazy is what happens if the air temp is right at the set point. it switches on and off constantly. I just timed it off for 15 SECONDS, and then back on for 30 seconds. Normally things like this have a couple of degree range so if I set it for 65 deg cooling, it might cut on when the temperature gets above 65, but not cut off until it drops below 63. or even 60. If you don't notice noise changes, it might not be a concern to you, but since I can touch it while at my home office, I had to turn off the auto temperature controls.
Alexa app does not have user interface controls for the fan

Alexa app does not have user interface controls for the fan. The fan's device page is completely blank. Can't even change the fan's name from "First fan".
Outside of the app, voice commands work EXCEPT setting the temperature.
Really happy with this window fan. Previous fan I has was a 3 fan blade unit, that was loud, and cheap looking compared to the premium look of the Vornado transom fan. The foam filler blocks fit/look great and seem very secure and weathertight. Nearly silent operation at all 4 speeds. Alexa functionality is an added bonus.
This is much, much more than a "window fan." It allows for your choice of air circulation while taking up a minimum of window space. I still enjoy the light and sights of the window where it's placed as well as the esthetics of the unit: it's sleek, stylish, and attractive. It's incredibly quiet yet entirely functional and costs less than my HVAC circulation fan to operate. I will be purchasing a 2nd unit (again in white) for our bedroom in the next couple of weeks.
