Is there an insect screen on this model? Also, can the vent be closed when fan not in use?

The slot around the outside that acts as the air intake is very narrow. It could be closed and sealed with a 12" length of electricians tape, but I honestly have felt no draft coming through. I have seen no screen, but it may be hidden. my guess is: no screen.

I never noticed an insect screen on this unit, not saying there isn't one, but upon installing it, Idid not notice any fine screening. There is no way to close the unit

I don't believe it has a mesh screen on the tent door, it's either it is zipped closed or open. The side "windows" does have a mesh screen besides the closure that zips up to provide privacy.

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use.Hope this helps.

The bottom of the fan sits in the window channel with the extensions inside the channel on the left and right sides. Insects can easily come into your house via the 'keep fingers out' plastic guards. You must have a screen. From the inside bottom part of the fan to the screen must be at least 3 1/2 inches of clearance or the screen will keep you from placing the fan in the window.

Yes, the model I bought does have the fan. Works good but not going to blow across the whole room. I use mine in the garage.

I don't understand why this would strain the fan if the vents give you the option to be closed .. Wouldn't that be worse?

You can do this manually from the touch screen. Might also be able to program one of the periods to just fan without heat or cool but have not tried.

it has insect screens, not privacy walls. If you're looking for privacy pick a canopy with opaque/solid cloth walls. This canopy offers little privacy.

Holes are big enough for insects to go thru, but I keep my fan behind the screen in the window, so not a problem for me.

No screen but the perforated Louver does not allow insects in. A well thought out design

no it does not. also of note, the screen on this fan falls off constantly. have been meaning to contact the seller but i believe it has been too long. other than that it is a good fan but i wouldnt buy it again until they fix the issue with the screen

There's a switch on the back. Must have the pipe up to the fan connected tho. It's not smart, doesn't sense humidity. Haven't used it enough to know if it shuts itself off when empty but doubt it

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

There are screws on the back, looks like if you remove them you can access the fan. But there aren't any 'doors' for simple access.

Yes there is a switch inside the fan housing that you set so that it is just on and off look in the instructions for proper setting. I would install timer switch such as a Fan King see amazon it looks like a switch the timer is hidden by the switch plate. The fan needs to run longer to get the humidity out of the bathroom.

It has the insect screen side panels. There are decorative canvas side panels but they do not fits all the way across and do not zip together. They are more a decorative corner item with tie backs to hold them in place. The fame held up well during some very high winds. We have learned to take the top panels off once winter winds are forecast.
