Although these panels were strange to put up, they 100% worked. We live in a very hot and sunny state and our sliding door windows were bringing in tons of heat. Light curtains were letting in light and heating up the whole room. Then we bought dark curtains and they helped keep the room warm but the few feet around the curtains were much hotter than the rest of the room. We decided to give these a try and they worked great. The room stays cool and so do the curtains.

Although they work, installing the panels requires you to put hooks through your curtain. The hooks go through the rear of the curtain so they aren't seen on the inside of the house, but they do put holes in that portion of the curtain, which would possibly be undesirable for expensive or sentimental/historical curtains. The hooks go through the back of the loops or sleeve that holds the curtain up, then the panels hang on the hooks. Somewhat time consuming to install (compared to just hanging the curtain) but certainly worth it in our case.

Truly works wonders! Even after reading the other reviews, I wasn't completely sold on the idea that it would make such a huge difference. I was totally wrong! The room we installed this in has dropped in temperature by probably 20 degrees!

After using a smelly, non-ventilated gas firfeplace for years, I decided to give these a try. I bought 2, since at 1000 watts it is not going to heat our downstairs (kitchen/dining/living room)very fast, but after a week of use I am very pleased. Their mobility allows me to control the heating well (can bring both into the living room if my 2 small children are there to keep that very warm). Usually 3-4 hours of use of both in separate rooms(and closed windows)is enough to take the chill off. Very quiet, no smell and easy to move. I probably should have bought at least one of the 1500 watt units, but no problems at all with these units so far. Will likely get a 1500 watt unit soon.

Insulation is easy, used it in two different houses, we've had it for one summer  and it was going day and night, not a problem with it.  Cooled a large room very quickly.  The sound it made wasn't disturbing at all, a nice hum of air that didn't disturb us falling to sleep .  Are only regret is that we wish we got an air conditioner with a remote, in the middle of the night on those cooler nights when  The air-conditioner has done it's job and more, getting up to turn it down (or turn it up If it's too hot ) was the only downfall.  It also doesn't measure the temperature in the room, so whatever you set it to runs on that until you change it manually.  BUT,  that's something you know you get when you buy this particular air-conditioner  so no problem . we needed an air conditioner quick, the summer was boiling hot and we didn't have much money to spend, this sucker did the job very very well!

We bought these for camping and they were great in our tent. We continued to use them at home and they really helped cool down our rooms.

I was looking to cool a normal sized bedroom that is situated on the side of our house that is hit by the sun ALL day long and even in winter gets extremely hot.  In summer months the room get about 15 degrees hotter then the temp outside so a good cooling system was needed.  This unit more then does its job, it cools this room within 5 minutes of turning it on and keeps it cool.  It is a bit noisy but when you are used to using up to 3 fans at once for cooling, this is a welcome change.  The remote works great although you have to be standing directly in front of the unit for it to do anything.  The unit is rather large but on wheels so it moves easily. Our bedroom window is larger then normal and the window slides left to right, the including adapter for the air vent fit just right without an inch to spare, but the air vent is really big and ugly.  That is my only complaint, but nothing can be done about that part so overall I highly recommend this unit.  It is a great product at a great price.

They look great and are doing an awesome job keeping the light and as a plus they keep the summer heat trapped so the room is staying so much cooler

We were sweltering in the Texas heat here in August despite our air conditioning and overhead ceiling fans. This big Vornado 732B Innova Fan/Air Circulator made a big difference from the very first day.  We pointed it at the ceiling and it immediately began moving the air making us feel more comfortable.  We already had ordinary fans, overhead ceiling fans, and air conditioning, but this made a BIG difference.  We were able to put up the air conditioner setting by 4 extra degrees and yet feel cool and comfortable. If you want to save money and feel cool, this is the fan for you.  We have a big den/kitchen combined and it is big enough to help both rooms.

We just tried theses out this week end and I really liked them. They were very warm and they don't slide all over because of the materal.

These pretty effectively took out a lot of moisture in our windowless, small, hot bedroom. They didn't last long, but for about 20 days, our room was a lot less stuffy and uncomfortable. And it smelled better. Alas, a more long-term solution would be a better choice in our situation, but these really helped in our decision. These are CHEAP! And effective. The smell wasn't overpowering but not completely absent.

We bought two of these fans and are delighted with them. We live in a very damp climate (SE Alaska, 178 inches of precipitation a year) and we only have wood heat, since we live very remotely. The stove is situated at one end of the house and the bedroom at the other end. Previously we've had constant trouble with the bedroom being damp and the corners growing mold. With the fans pushing the warm air to the other end of the house, these problems have faded.

The fans are attractive and fade into the background and aren't noisy. They also tell when more wood needs to be put in the stove by their movement: they speed up as the wood burns down to coal and slow down when the coals die down, or when fresh wood has been put in. We have no complaints about them at all.

cools room by about 5 degrees. You can still see through the windows. It has a similar effect to wearing sunglasses.
It can be a bit tricky trying to get them to stick to the window but still worth it.

It sometimes gets cold in our office and since we can't use space heaters in our building this was a great alternative. Don't hear complaints about the cold now. We couldn't be happier!

Seriously, I can't believe how well these work. We ended up buying them for every room!

I ordered two of these, one for each bedroom in our finished attic.  These rooms are narrow with sloped roofs.  The previous ceiling fans were 30 in. and did not help circulate the air at all, plus they were noisy and wobbly.  These Bainbridge 36 in. fans are a great improvement.  They look nice and are very quiet and stable, even when on high.  They come with a CFL bulb, but keep in mind they don't work with dimmers.  We switched bulbs because we have dimmer switches.

Also, our electrician installed the fans, so I can't testify to how easy they are to install.  By the way, he recommended NOT using LED bulbs unless you forgo using the globe.  And finally, he recommended running the fans clock-wise all year round to blow the forced air back down (which is cool air in summer from air conditioning/hot air in winter from furnace).  So far, it is keeping the rooms cooler during the hot months than the old fans did.  I have no complaints, and am 100% satisfied with my purchase.

We had no ventilation in our 1970's built condo so putting these in with ventilation to the outside has made a huge difference in our bathrooms. For our long hot showers it will keep up with the steam and pretty much be free as I step out of the tub. Worked really great during the summer and now with winter time we leave it running for a half hour to suck the walls dry. Not too loud on the max setting.

A bit strange that it ramps up to full speed over 15 seconds, or so. I still sort of shake my head as I turn on the fan and nothing seems to happen. And minus 1 star because I had hoped the add-on modules would be of value but the humidity mod got bad reviews (for california functioning) and I tried the timer mod and it did not work as advertised.

I purchased this unit about 2 weeks ago for my son's upstairs bedroom.  We were experienceing 100+ degree days, and I was running 4 fans to try an keep his room cool with little success.  His room was consistantly at 85 degres (as low as 82 at night).

His room has a 13' vaulted ceiling and is a 15'x14' room, to give you an idea of the size.

As far as installation, it was fairly straightforward.  About a 30 minute set up for me.  I powered it up that evening, and it took about 2 hours to cool the room to 70 degrees.

Now we use the A/C upstairs with a small floor fan, and it cools very well, as low as 67 degrees!  This has been a God send, and am very happy with the product.

5 stars...I just wish it came in a different color to match the decor, but I wouldn't trade this unit because of the great functionality.
