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

I have smaller windows in my bedrooms and couldn't find a decent window fan that could fit them. These fans fit PERFECTLY. They do the normal fan functions, like pulling in air from outside, our exhausting air from inside to out. 3 speeds for both. Sounds is good, not too loud (I have one right next to my bed and it isn't a distraction). The are easy to install, just put them in and go. Come with a few differentsoze window spacers if needed. Built well solid value. I wish they came with a remote of some kind, but not a deal breaker. .

I love the look of it. It’s sleek and doesn’t let to much light in. It’s a lot quieter than the other one I had. I can have it on full blast and it moves a lot of air. I like that I can swap between pulling air in or out. The foam it comes with to help fit are great and sturdy. The only two down sides are I had to remove my window mesh to install and it doesn’t have a remote. All in all a good buy so far.

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.

Works well, is quiet and is easy to install and uninstall. Perfect for when the heat, which i can’t control, is too much for the weather.

The good: The fan itself, consider the smaller size, provides decent airflow. Not great, not good, but OK airflow - for the slim size. The neutral: It fits OK into a newer window with no trim or sill (like your average cheap vinyl replacement window). The fan is reversible. The bad: Where to start? This product is such a disappointment - a collection of good ideas ruined by Vornado cheaping out resulting in poor execution, poor fit, and a worse seal than your average $30 (junky) window fan. The biggest issue is the fit of the unit itself - it requires a newer window with tight clearances for a secure fit. It does not fit securely into older windows, any sash windows I tried, or into any of the windows having interior sills/trim that fit against a closed sash (common on older windows, wooden sash windows, etc). Any degree of height or padding adjustment under the unit could have resolved this issue - it is simply cheap/poor design on Vornados part, especially considering the higher price-point. The foam blocks included do little to seal the window and can easily be shifted or pushed out. Bugs and mosquitoes can freely come and go around these blocks and through the unit itself as it has no grill or mesh on the exterior to prevent this. Window fans are rarely the best option, but this Vornado fits so poorly that I can honestly recommend just opening your window or propping a cheap box fan on the sill instead… it will move more air and you’ll deal with same number of bugs and poor seal as you would with this unit. The seal and fit of this unit is unacceptably bad for this price point - try a cheaper fan instead.

Jay Fray delivering the balanced truth about this Vornado PORTAL window fan that promises variable power but delivers virtually identical speeds! 🧐 Picked up this window fan expecting Vornado’s trademark air circulation quality with meaningful speed control for different cooling needs. The installation was straightforward and the fit in standard windows works well without excessive gaps or stability issues. The overall build quality feels solid with adequate materials for window mounting. 🪟✅ The fan does move air adequately for basic window ventilation needs, providing reasonable airflow that helps with room circulation and temperature management. When operating, it functions as a competent window fan that serves its fundamental purpose of moving air between indoor and outdoor spaces. 💨👍 Where this fan disappoints significantly is in the virtually useless speed settings. Despite advertising 3 distinct speeds, the actual performance differences between low, medium, and high are negligible—essentially creating the illusion of control without meaningful variation in airflow output. 🔄👎 This lack of genuine speed differentiation makes it impossible to fine-tune airflow for different conditions or noise preferences. Whether you need gentle circulation or maximum cooling, you’re essentially getting the same moderate airflow regardless of setting selection. ⚙️❌ The power output overall feels underwhelming compared to marketing claims about air movement capabilities. While adequate for basic window fan duties, it doesn’t deliver the impressive circulation performance typically associated with the Vornado brand reputation. 📊⚠️ Build quality and installation experience are solid, but the performance limitations prevent this from being a standout window fan option. It works adequately as basic window ventilation without excelling in any particular area. 🛠️😐 Jay Fray verdict: A functional window fan that delivers basic air circulation but fails to provide meaningful speed control or impressive airflow performance. Adequate for simple window ventilation needs but disappointing for those expecting Vornado’s typical circulation excellence. Sometimes adequate is just adequate! 🪟🤷‍♂️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Solid airflow and exactly what I needed. My massage room at the office doesn’t get much ventilation, and it was getting too hot and stuffy to work comfortably. When we built the wall, we left a large gap at the top to allow airflow rather than spending $10,000 on a full ventilation system. With this fan in place, that setup works perfectly. I mounted it using double-sided Gorilla tape, and it hasn’t budged. Its also doesnt make too much noise.
