Vornado PORTAL Window Fan with 3 Speeds, Reversible Exhaust Mode, Weather Resistant, Window Fan For Kitchen, Bedroom, Home, Low Profile, White

جميلة جداً وحلوة انه تسكر البوابة عن الغبار 110v كهرباء لكن اتمنى يحطون فلتر هدائه يعني تقدر تخليه شفط وتقدر تعكسها تخليه تدخل الهواء

I purchased this primarily as an exhaust in my kitchen window when I am cast iron searing meat. I used it for the first time tonight and worked above my expectations. My stove and my window are 6-7 feet apart and I seared four steaks and there wasn't any notable smoke in the room. Added bonus the smoke alarm didn’t go off. Also, I literally unpacked it and had it running in 5 minutes or less.

The Vornado Portal fan is a great window fan. It is quiet on low and medium. It has some noise on high. I like the ability to have a low profile fan in my window at night. It came with various sizes of foam blocks to make up the difference it window width. That was nice. I also like the manual controls. I have added a security device so the window can’t be opened with the fan removed. It is a little expensive but not as expensive as the Transom - I have both and find the electronic controls unnecessary and not worth the price. I didn’t find the Portal until after purchasing two Transom fans. As to clicking mentioned in other reviews; my fans have had no issues after 3 months of near continuous use. (I have mine mounted vertically so yes they can be used that way. As to it affecting the longevity, I know I’m taking a chance and accept the consequences - YMMV)

I bought Vornado PORTAL Window Fan with 3 Speeds for $69.99 on November 5, 2024. This is an extremely expensive and relatively weak fan, but is a much sleeker device than a traditional window fan. Basically this device is mostly form over function. There are fans that are half the price that will give you much more air flow than this. But it does look nice, and it does (somewhat) seal itself shut when the fan is not on. It is also quiet compared to my other window fans that cost less than half of this. Installation was easy, but they do insist that this can only be used in horizontal position. No issue for me, but just something to be aware of. So it is worth the price I paid? Well, I am content with it. It was pricey, but I got exactly what I wanted. It may not be a Dyson, but is still a cool product.

Bought this to suck the cigarette smoke out of the room. So, only used as an exhaust fan, not to pull air in. Fits nice in the window, using the included padded spacer things. We had just the tiniest space to fill in. Since we are rednecks, we used paper towels pushed in the gap, but you really can't tell, TBH. Decent suction, but we only use it on high. No louder than any other fan we have used. And we have had quite a few over the years. Most of them are the style that has two big round fans. But we don't mind the "white noise" that a fan provides. It drowns out outside noises a little, like the neighbor's barking dog. If you get strong wind coming out of the direction that the fan faces, it will definitely blow in, so we occasionally have to take it out of the window if we get strong south winds (in our case). In the winter it's twofold. One, you don't want that really cold wind blowing in and two, it really bogs down the fan motor, which can't be good on the fan motor. In the warmer months, we only take it out if it is really bogging down the motor. We decided to try this style, since it is lower profile than the other fans we have used in the past, as referenced earlier in my review.
