| Great looking fan, looks nice and high tech in my window, I secured it vertically with electrical tape. Yes, I had to take it apart, move the thermostat wire and tape it away from the moter to get the thermostat to work properly. exhaust mode seems fairly weak, but ok, high speed is a little noisy, so I keep it on medium. Definitely don't need the A/C most of the time with this fan. | |
 "A nice window fan-BUT!" | 2007-08-19 |

| I purchased this fan after I thought I checked everywhere. -This fan runs very quietly which is favorable to me at night when I sleep. -I knew that a thermostat was necessary since I didn't want the fan to run all the time however I was wrong. The thermostat on the Bionaire BW300 adjusts but the fan doesn't ever turn off (This is a working feature) which then causes my electric bill to go up. -This fan comes with a remote control, thats cool however I can't tell what the setting is at a distance when using it. I'd like to know when the "exhaust" or "intake" feature is actually on without having to guess or wait for 7 minutes at night when I would like to return to sleep right away. -Imagine this, what if you would like one of the fan blades to produce "intake" air and the other to produce an "exhaust"? The remote control does control it however unless you actually get up and go over to the fan and check, you may have to guess (unless you're from mars or telepathic, I'm not). So, this makes the remote control somewhat useless to me. The fan is not very powerful but pleasant. -I have now found a window fan I used to own a few years back after checking with [...] which is a Honeywell HW-628 which doesn't offer a remote control. I suspect I will be happier with it and I may return the Bionaire fan. We'll see. (Always check with Amazon for the unexpected or great deals) -I don't need a remote control if I know my fan is doing a fairly great job. -The Honeywell fan HW-628 will allow me to continue to sleep without changing the settings so much as the thermostat will be adjusted and turn on and off as it is set to the desired level. Thanks, James | |
| "Fine If Your Ignore Temperature Sensor" | 2007-07-29 |

| If you're willing to either fix or ignore the temperature sensor problem mentioned in several reviews, this is a good product. It's possible to ignore the sensor because it doesn't affect the basic operation of the fan. The remote is very convenient, the fan is quiet on the lower two speeds and the ability to have one fan on exhaust and the other on intake is a real plus. Works well for us. | |

| I am very happy with this window fan. The remote is great feature. The temperature gauge seems to be a bit off at times but the fan is very quiet does what I wanted it to do! | |
| "great fans if you're able to move temp sensor" | 2007-07-12 |

| I bought two of these fans on the strength of a friends strong recommendation and seeing them in action. However, I noted other reviewers' complaints about temperature measurements. Sure enough, both of my fans, when left turned on, indicated temperatures at least 10 degrees higher than actual room temperatures. Coupled with the inability to set a regulating temperature higher than 80 degrees, the high readings effectively made the thermostat control useless. Before returning them to amazon, I re-read the detailed instructions of another reviewer on how he fixed his fans. Before doing that, I tried an experiment. I unplugged each fan and put them near my home thermostat whose temperature reading I trust. Left to cool to room temperature, each fan read the same temperature as the thermostat when first plugged in - aha! The temp sensors do work. So, I followed instructions and disassembled the fans to move the sensors. Wishing to get the most accurate operation possible, I drilled a small hole in the front panel of the fan and threaded the sensor through that. So, my fans now read correct room temperature and the thermostat works well. I just haven't figured out if I'm going to live with the temp sensor on its little wire sticking out the front or if I will try to dress up the appearance somehow. | |

| I, like several others who have purchased this fan experienced the same problem with the thermostat. From the moment I turned it on the temperature indicator continued to rise (instead of decline) even though it was 65° outside and 75° inside. Having read the reviews prior to making the purchase, I made the mistake of assuming that the poor design and assembly would have been corrected since almost three years had passed since "Wayne-in-Seattle" first posted his problem with the thermostat back on August 30, 2004.Bionaire can rest assured that this will be the LAST of their products I will ever purchase! Correcting the problem is fairly simple; all you need to do is reposition the temperature sensing wire inside the control panel so the heat generated inside does not influence the temperature sensor. The only tool you will need will be a small Phillips had screwdriver. Remove the seven screws on the back of the unit. You will not be able to completely remove the back panel unless you can figure out how to do so without breaking the accordion expansion panel on the right side of the unit. You will however be able to separate the back from the front enough to remove the control panel cover inside(no screws involved). Once inside you will see two white wires that are connected to the circuit board. One of those wires is approximately 3 inches long and is only connected to the board on one end; the other end hangs freely; this is the temperature sensing wire. The last inch of this wire has also been stripped of its coating and taped. Carefully reposition the the wire toward the top of the unit, pulling it taut so that no part of it touches the circuit board, taping it if necessary (approximately 1.25 inches will stick out when you're done). Replace the control panel cover, screw the unit back together and you are DONE! The next time you turn it on the temperature indicator will be displaying a more realistic value. | |
