My window fan stopped working yesterday. I had it since August. I went to the company website (
http://www.holmesproducts.com) and they didn't even have it anymore. They stopped making it.
I bought it at
Shopko on Wabash back in August. It was the last one of its kind on the shelf.
It worked great for a while. It automatically turned off when the room got too cool. It had expandable panels on the side to fill the window space. It offered some privacy, and this is the best part, the fans are independently reversible. You flip the one or both switches at the bottom and the fans spin in the opposite direction respectively.
The one downside about it was that it filled a space large enough for potential burglars to remove it and crawl through the window, so I had to remove it every morning before going to work.
Two nights ago I was pushing the one button that changed the temperature sensitivity to turn it off, and it stayed off. It never came on again. Something in the electronics failed.
There was a three year limited warranty, but honestly, does anyone deal with shipping costs for something that will probably break again soon anyway?
