bit-tech Shopping: Honeywell HW628 Twin Wind. Fan Electrically Reversible

Rating: 10

Time with product: 60 Days

Strengths: Powerful, fits various size of windows, each fan can operate individually

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: I was considering Honeywell and Holmes for the unit in the same price range. I eventually chose Honeywell and I couldn't be happier. I have been using this fan for a couple of months and it works great; clearing warm air out and bringing fresh air to the room. I would recommend this fan to any of my friends.

Time with product: 1 Days

Strengths: Powerful, change to exhaust option by flipping a switch, grills rotate to direct airflow, plastic construction holds up surprisingly well

Weaknesses: None

Summary: We own 2 of these fans and are purchasing a third. They do a great job of drawing the cooler basement air up to our second floor (using the exhaust option). I like that you can switch from fresh air to exhaust without having to take the unit out of the window. These fans are powerful and have held up well for us over the year and a half we've had them.

Time with product:

Strengths: Fan works well

Weaknesses: a little bit noisy

Summary: The materials of the fan are fine, not excellent but fine. It kept me cool these days, very helpful. I would recommend it to a friend. However, the fan is a little bit overpriced for the type of quality it has.

Time with product: 6 Years

Strengths: It is a workhorse!

Weaknesses: A bit nosy but not annoying

Summary: This is my 3rd one in 6 years. I use it in my kitchen and keep it on 12-15 hours a day as a exhaust fan. Being able to remove the grill for cleaning makes it extra special. A real work horse.

Time with product: 2 Months

Strengths: Compact but powerful, Easy to Install, Quiet but effective

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: This fan is used in a college dorm room that gets little circulation from any other window, and no a/c. It has been a lifesaver this Fall as it pulls out some of the hot air, and brings in cooler air. It is the perfect type of fan for this environment. It also has a thermostat so fan does not have to run all the time, although it did for about a month straight for the first month of the semester The price was right--this fan does the job and has met all expectations to date. I did not give it the highest rating as I want to see if excellent operation continues for at least a year.
