This review is from: Holmes HAWF2041 Dual Blade Window Fan with Comfort Control Thermostat, White
Pros:
1) It actually fits with little fuss;
2) Worked out of the box;
3) Simple to use;
4) By design (non-digital), it will return from power loss to exact settings upon return of power
5) Will fit in the window withOut requiring the removal of your screen.
6) Electrically, independently reversible!
Cons:
1) Nearly cried when I didn't see the left side expander, but my hopes were restored upon checking the box;
2) The left side expander is Really flimsily attached;
3) I think I just found it cheaper on the manufacturer's website. >.<
Overall Review:
So to be fair I've had it about 30min and my room is around 93.2F (down from 95F all day yesterday).
This is the third attempt at purchasing a non-digital device that will fit in the window. My first attempt was at Lowes, but I ended up with a digital model and floor model to boot (online pickup). It even ended up breaking when I expanded the sides. My second attempt was only online from Home Depot and the thing was extremely thick. It was as if they used the same mold for both halves of the device. Needless to say, this was my Last chance and it met both criteria to a T.
While I'm not sure the app measures db the same way most do (my EE relation seemed cross when I quoted db in -XX terms), on full bore exhaust, it raises the noise level of the room about -15db (I have a PC with like 8 case fans on full). I think the measurement was around -58db according to the app.
I'm going to give it an hour or so to exhaust, but with the outside temp at around 90F, there's not much room for it to lower the temp. I think I may move it to a smaller room and break down and install an AC.
-1 egg because I don't think it's moving as much air as the other two I'd tried out, but overall I think it will be a good unit.
