Sharper Image PORTAL Window Fan
Sharper Image creates cutting edge products - so when we set out to create a window fan, we did our research and then rewrote the formula. The result was a mere 6.57" tall, cleverly enough to be seamlessly installed in windows up to 38" wide using an innovative modular block system. In today's world full of ugly, repetitive window fans, Portal is a window fan that lives up to the Sharper Image vision - to bring products today inspired by Tomorrow's Tomorrow.

We need 2. We have wide open air flow in all 4 sides of the home due to being on a 100 acre grape farm. And we live on a huge lake, reviving west winds daily without fail. But we do have an older home where air flow was not considered back in the 50s. Having 2 fans to pull in cool air in the am and exhaust warm air late afternoon/evening is essential to keep the house in our comfort zone.
Those $25 box fans at Walmart are excellent due to force of air movement. But they don’t fit in windows and they are beyond tolerable with noise. The $50 dual window fans are ideal as they exhaust and pull in air but not with a switch - you have to manually reverse them, they take up 2/3 of window view and allow rain to enter the home thru the vent. Yes, we can use AC but in our state, the first $100 of the bill is all the fees and the companies have elevated their pricing over 30% in last 2 years. So, we need two fans that bring in the air but also exhaust it to stay within our budget.
1- These fans DO work. We can’t find anything negative to say about that. During a warm day I reversed 1 fan facing west to exhaust warm air and pull in the cool AM air. It was 82 outside, 68 inside. Very comfortable. By midday, it was warming up inside so I started the 2nd fan. It was 86 outside, 72-74 inside. Still very comfortable. In the evening as the sun set, we reversed the air flow of both fans to bring in cool air from the outside. It was 76 outside by 9pm, 68 inside. And by midnight, it was 72 outside, 65 inside.
2- Noise is minimal. You can hear the fan when on. There are 2 settings - low, mid and high. At the highest level the fan is at a comfortable noise level. Can’t hear it throughout the house. Hubby likes it because it’s subtle white noise that helps him sleep.
3- Installation is a beast. The installation of the foam side pieces included with the fan is the worst brain idea of any human I’ve seen in a long time. One would think a designer/manufacturer would incorporate the slide left/right shields to fill the gaps on the sides we see in other larger fans. Nope. It’s multiple sided poorly made foam pieces. And if you ever played with the toy that has shape holes and plastic shapes to fit inside - or the game Perfection - this install process takes you right back there. Inserting the fan into the window takes less than 30 seconds. Installing the foam inserts so they fit right and actually stay in place takes the better part of a half hour. And if you remove the fan completely due to a cold spell for a few days, you will dread having to reinsert it. Hubby got scolded for removing the fan I spent an hour installing. He is now ordered to put a pillow in front of the fan if he doesn’t want the cool air to enter the room.
4- The cost is absurd for this unit. This is a $25 to $30 fan. Not $70plus. You are paying for the slim low sitting profile. There is no remote or Bluetooth option. We are ok with that. But given the force of air flow in and out as far as the motor is concerned, it equates to a small $20 desk fan.
We aren’t sure if we are keeping. We need to give it another week or two when the summer weather is at its truest level in temperature. I should also note we bought new but received used, too. Since these do not come from an Amazon warehouse but from a private seller, shame on the seller for passing off used items as new at new cost. Just my opinion.

The ease at which I can change vent direction is so useful. We had it in all winter and it doesn't let in too much cold air. Highly recommended.
