Product Reviews

20" 3560 CFM 3-Speed Whole House Window Fan 4.6 5 166 179
top of the line Arrived in excellent condition even before the due date. My daughter installed it with no problem. She leveled it in the window and it began running at the first test. There was almost no vibration. I am very pleased with the fan and especially with the difference it makes in the attic. October 1, 2011
It works I installed this unit in a guest room knowing it would likely be too loud to have in a bedroom we use. It works great, moves a lot of air but it is loud. Best installation would be in a window that is not in a bedroom. Also, it would be good if the unit came with materials to insect proof around the unit. I found our insect screens provided too much resistance to the airflow so I removed the screen--which means now the window is unprotected. Not a major problem while the unit is running since the little buggers would have a hard time flying upwind--it's more of a concern with the unit off. Of course, then you need just close the window behind the fan. Happy overall. September 5, 2011
Best Purchase This is a fan like my parents use to have. Outstanding September 1, 2011
Quality Product This fan is a powerful well designed unit. It is easy to install and made of steel. Like any powerful fan,it makes noise, so placement is a consideration. Vents the whole house very efficiently. September 1, 2011
Surprised ATTENTION: I was very unhappy with the window fan I purchased from Venting Direct. It was noisy. You can't take it apart and clean it, it did not fit well in the window and the rubber inserts kept falling out. I was so mad I wrote a negative comment on THIS site!! OUT OF NOWHERE, the customer service person, "Angie" contacted me and was very helpful. She offered either a replacement or a refund. She took me at my word, did NOT try to make excuses or deny the faulty product. All this was done IMMEDIATELY. This is a RARE situation folks! I think this is the IDEAL way to "do business." Although I still feel the same way about the fan, the company Venting Direct is HONEST, professional, and care about the customers. Whenever I need another product I will certainly purchase from Venting Direct. August 30, 2011
Great Fan Great Buy Bought this for my mother who had an old Sears window fan for years. Unfortunatley the motor died and she was afaraid she wouldn't be able to find a replacement that was as good as her 30 year old fan. This fan works as well or better than her original. It was shipped quicly easily installed and works great. August 25, 2011
Great Fan, Great company Love the fan, we're using it in a one of a kind situation. I would say that the rubber rail guides should be better glued or secured. They kept falling out and had to re-glue. I think the side panels could be a bit more solid so that they don't move around so much when the fan is on. But it has great power (the fan) and I hope to use for years. Tahnks Guys August 14, 2011
Air King - 9166 - Fan Air King 9166 - Fan - Nice feature is it has 3 speed intake and exhaust. It's powerful but a little noisy. A good buy and worth the money. August 12, 2011
Great Value This fan replaced one I had for 30 years and although I have had it only 6 weeks it's working well and I'm pleased and "hopeful" August 12, 2011
Perfect! This wonderful fan arrived two days before our last heat wave. It was easy to put in by myself. Follow the directions exactly and it isn't a problem. I open all the doors and windows about 5 in the morning, put it on the middle speed setting, and let it run for an hour. When I close the windows and doors I've got a house that stays about 13 degrees cooler than the outside temperature as the day gets hotter. My attic is insulated to R-51 and my walls to about R-14 so it keeps the heat out and feels much cooler when I walk in on a hot day. August 12, 2011
