An article from Real Simple discusses general tips about the optimum use of fans and presents an "RS Pick" in several fan categories. In this article, the Holmes Twin Window Fan HAWF2021 is listed as the RS Pick for window fans. Reviewers at Sears.com give this window fan a nearly perfect rating.
The Holmes Twin Window Fan HAWF2021 has two fans, one to expel hot air from a room and one to blow in cool air from outside, which experts say helps to cool a room better. Owners posting to Sears.com are pleased with how well this unit cools a room. One owner has problems with the thermostat, which is supposed to turn the fan on or off when the room reaches a certain temperature. The two fan speeds are also seen as a limitation. A more expensive window fan, the Air King 3-Speed Window Fan with Thermostat 9600 (*est. $90) has only one large fan, but it can be set for intake or exhaust. With just one fan head, you'll lose the ability to intake and exhaust air simultaneously, but you'll move more air with the larger blade diameter.
