| Looks good on paper, but the units really don't work well. I purchased two, and the difference in the car's temperature not much. The fams turn only in the brightest of light when the car is oriented 90 degrees sideways to the sun, which is not always possible. The cases flex when the window closes so the fan won't turn, so fooling around with them to get them just right takes time, then water can leak in if you get a thunderstorm because the fit isn't tight. |

| Had high hopes for this ventilator, as a Florida resident, but it was a bummer from the getgo. Tried to install it in a 2004 Corolla and simply couldn't get it to fit. An hour of messing around and I dumped it in the garbage. Might fit your car, but I don't think it's worth the effort. |

| It does not work unless you point it directly at the sun, and then not very well. This item is useless. |

A great product at a great price. Unlike other imitations, the TWI-7001 has a built in moisture seal at the top. Rain does not get in; dust does not get in. The hot air goes out and the temperatures are markedly lower that before.
The only draw-back is that you have to teach your wife to take it out of the window before going through the automatic car wash. Water (and soap) can and does come in at the angle sprayed. Yet despite being totally soaked, the TWI-7001 AutoVent Solar-Powered Ventilator still works like new.

| This item does not work with even light tint on the window. Must have direct sunlight or fan will not operate. |

| several things wrong with this item, first the solar cell is highly directional, will only power the fan when the window angle is within 15 degrees of direct path if car is parked on flat surface and translates to about an hour's running, unless you move the car to again align the window. I bought 3 units for three different cars, (make model and year all different) but with same results. same problem. so many design flaws I wonder about if any serious testing was done. other than the apparent .. got idea, built in the garage, tested with the light bulb, sold to people |

"Solar Powered Car window fan" | 2007-07-18 |
| - Reviewed By valmur |
| We have only had this operating for a few days in the driver's side window of our small van camper. Very easy to install. It certainly does work, as long as we park in full sun - which is often unavoidable as we travel! It is not a strong fan, and since it is silent (no motor!) we have to check to make sure it is operating. But it is certainly a lot better than no fan/no ventilation while we are parked. I would not want to leave a dog in a parked car and rely on this to keep the dog cool. But it does help keep the inside temperature down somewhat. Well worth a try, and I am a fan of solar powered anything. |

| We purchased it and tried to get it to fit the window and had a hard time. It barely moves the air inside the card at full noon so its still HOT in the car. Its cheap and does not meet expictations, DONT BUY IT. |

What can I say? This thing wouldn't cool a gnat's [...]. I found no noticeable difference using this thing. The sun would sometimes tweak the plastic so the fan would stop running. If you leave it on the window while you drive, the wind spins the fan and makes a lot of noise.
You'd do better to tint your car windows. |
