I really like the design and features of this window fan over any others that I have had in the past. The fan is sturdy and its design allows for more privacy when it is installed vs. traditional window fans that leave you feeling exposed when they are in your window; I don’t feel like people on the outside can see straight into my bedroom when I have this fan in the window. The operation is quiet but effective and the reverse directional feature is nice if you need to exhaust or vent air out of your room. Overall would definitely recommend this fan to anyone who might be looking for a good option.
