Dual locking extender screens hold the fan rigidly in place, helping ensure a secure fit. Review: Premium feel, great versatility. Three motor design is fantastic. - Great fan, and is perfect for my needs. I love how quiet it is, and that the flow has three levels. The three levels are controlled with a mechanical switch, and basically switch whether 1, 2 or 3 fan blades are running at the same time. 1=Center motor, 2=Two outside motors, 3=All motors Pros: * The three fans (rather than the more common 2 fans) is a better design. This spreads out the airflow, and to my ears three small fans make less noise than two larger ones in other products I've used. * Runs quietly in all speeds * Designed to be used either in horizontal or vertical orientation (for those with windows that slide open horizontally) * While it's plastic of course, the case and switches feel like a soft plastic, and overall the fan has some good substance to it. The plastic used for this product doesn't feel "cheap", but somewhat premium. * 5 year warranty is much longer than other products I looked at. So long as the warranty can be serviced in the US, I feel good about the longevity of the purchase. Cons: * To reverse airflow, you have to remove the fan from the window, flip it around, and reinstall it. This isn't uncommon in other products, so it's barely a "con", but some products have airflow reverse switches that don't require removing the fan. I'm not bothered by this, but something to think about when choosing a product. * I've read others state in their reviews this fan uses fuses that aren't available in the US should they need to be replaced. I don't know if this is true, but if I end up having to toss this product in the bin because it blew a fuse I can't buy in my country, that'll be sad. Because I really like the product and hope it lasts a good long time. Review: I DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE SCREEN. IT IS NICE AND SMALL AND EASY TO PUT IN AND OUT AS NEEDED. - My review is from the perspective of my specific needs and how it worked for me so here it is: - NOT VERY BIG AND BULKY - this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Shopping for a fan for a small one panel bathroom window mainly, with option to use in any other window. I needed something that is relatively small, not super big and I did not need a hurricane like power of the fan either. The fan is about 7 or so inches high tops 8 but I am guessing.. In any case.. it does not overpower the window or room, it is nice and rather forgiving as far as the visual impact and what is important to me, it is light and small so I dob't have to struggle to put it in or take out as needed. - EASY TO PUT IN THE WINDOW AND REMOVE - that is really non-process. You just open the window, pull our the accordion like extension to cover the entire width of the window frame and it is really super easy to do. Then you just position it in the open window frame and close the window down all the way till it touches the top of the fan. Done. The whole process takes maybe a minute or under once you get a hang of it. It is light and perfect so I can carry it easily in one hand. To take it out of the window.. you just open the window sliding up the panel.. then take it out and you can either push back the accordion extension or set it wherever you want with the extension left as is. - I USE IT IN MY BATHROOM WINDOW - to take the moisture out super fast. I don't like when the steam hangs in the air and the vent alone just does not do job good enough. I am not going to bother now in the midst of epidemic and worry about the vent so this is perfect solution. Once set in the window and turned on it sucks all the moisture in no time. I don't keep it in the window as I don't need it beyond this situation. - THE AIR POWER - This fan is naturally bit less powerful then the double fan big window fans that I also have one of. However, note to the wise - when you use TOO strong fan to push your indoor air, you must be very careful to follow recommendations. Just like with the kitchen exhaust that pulls x amount of the air from the house along with the smells you have to follow the rules of physics and recomendations. If the air vent is too strong then you push a lot of indoor air with it and the trade off is that you also may pull some gasses from the furnace and what not.. so you need to be careful as this can somehow endanger you and your family by creating some adverse air condition. To avoid this you have to check the fan power and capacity of air removal per minute or so.. You can call google this Or ask the seller for recommendation. To avoid any hazard I never run the big fans on full speed for a long time but rather on lower speeds for longer. This particular fan is gentle and it does help perfectly with air exchange as not only you can push out the air but also reverse or have some fans going one way and some another. Best rule of thumb is to have two fans in the house and while one is exhausting the air the other would pull out the air in that way you avoid the potentially unsafe situation of low pressure build up in the house. Possibly opening some other window might help but I don't know if this is sufficient recommendation. I would research this thoroughly. I usually do run other fan somewhere so I don't really run into any extremes. It is great fan to push your air out of the house, it is also great to pull fresh air in fast. This is important because oftentimes you want to get air in fast and it is often impossible if the outdoor pressure is lower then inside the house or even in both places, there is no inward draft then and so the outdoor air does not get inside much without the wind pushing it from outside. This fan does the trick. It just sucks your air super fast and you can enjoy it in no time. The portability of this fan is super important to me, I can easily take it form room to room.. from window to window as needed. and if I want to I can also use it as a stand alone fan without putting it in the window at all. I don't need this much but occasionally I had situation when I wanted a painted surface to dry here or there and so I could set it up as I wanted and had a lot of air blowing at it fast. It can help your indoor air to circulate on one of the lower speeds if you wish, you can place it in an area of the house really.. window or no window. Just prop it against something so it stands solid and out of the traffic area so nobody bumps it or no pets can knock it down. I was happy to see that it did not have any smells upon arrival. Smell is a big thing to me. I don't like any new chemical smells so It is crucial that an item is free of them upon arrival. It was just perfect, no smells whatsoever. Last thing to note is that when I am not using it and not in the window, I can set it gently on the floor below the window or I can put it vertically on a shorter end and lean against the wall under the window curtain so it is perfectly concealed. I HIGHLY recommend it. It gets a lot of mileage in my house. We use it often and we find many uses for it. I was debating between the light color and black color and I personally like the lighter one because it does not bring attention to it. I find this just a utility device and not necessarily an element of decor so I seek things that blend in as such. However if you for some reason like the fan to be black to blend in with your particular decor or you find it more modern or like it to be more visible then go for it obviously. I am just adding in case you would be debating the color and would get stuck on lack of perspective on the issue. Perhaps this can help you to decide. IN any case, If you need a light reliable and prefect window fan for frequent use then you should try it. Also.. a closing tip.. like all or most fans this does not come with a timer. In case you would like it to run for prescribed amount of time I would suggest to buy either analog or digital outlet timer that cost few dollars and is easy to find on desertcart and just plug it into the outlet and then plug this fan into it and then you will be free to set the time to any duration you wish so it will turn itself off as needed. FIFVE STARS AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!!! - YOU CAN REVERSE THE FLOW -but that is not with the flip switch, you need to physically flip the device which also is not a problem , easy peasy. - FLUID REGULATION OF SPEED is pretty neat as you can adjust the speed as you like. That is much better option then having only two three or four speeds. - PICK HOW MANY FANS YOU WANT ON OR OFF - you can have just one, two or all three on or off situation respectively. Just look at the product pictures and you will see the options. ## Features - 40% more powerful and 25% more compact window fan - 3 independently controlled comfort settings - Designed for vertical or horizontal configurations; Patented locking extender screens - Patented locking extender screens, Manual controls - Ideal for large rooms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BDS4M0W | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,546,165 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #190 in Household Window Fans | | Blade Material | Plastic | | Brand | HOLMES | | Brand Name | HOLMES | | Color | Black | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Button Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 5,141 Reviews | | Electric Fan Design | Window Fan | | Electric fan design | Window Fan | | Finish Type | Black Fans | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00048894050022 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Installation Type | window | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3.39"D x 25.25"W x 7.68"H | | Item Type Name | Bionaire BWF0522M Compact Window Fan with Manual Controls | | Item Weight | 5.1 pounds | | Main Power Connector Type | Standard US electrical plug | | Manufacturer | Bionaire | | Material | , , | | Model Name | Bionaire BWF0522M Compact Window Fan with Manual Controls | | Model Number | BWF0522M | | Mounting Type | Rack Mount | | Number of Blades | 3 | | Number of Power Levels | 3 | | Number of Speeds | 3 | | Part Number | BWF0522M | | Power Source | Electricity | | Product Dimensions | 3.39"D x 25.25"W x 7.68"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bedroom | | Room Type | Bedroom | | Size | 3 Baldes | | Special Features | Manual | | Standby Power Shutoff | Energy Efficient" or "Low Energy Consumption | | Style | Manual Controls | | Switch Type | Push Button | | Theme | home appliances" or "electric fans | | UPC | 048894050022 | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Warranty Description | 5 year limited. | | Wattage | 41 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HOLMES - **Color:** Black - **Electric fan design:** Window Fan - **Mounting Type:** Rack Mount - **Power Source:** Electricity - **Product Dimensions:** 3.39"D x 25.25"W x 7.68"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Bedroom - **Room Type:** Bedroom - **Special Feature:** Manual - **Style:** Manual Controls ## Images ![Bionaire Thin Manual Window Fan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ue5EBK4JL.jpg) ![Bionaire Thin Manual Window Fan - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YMAM46q5L.jpg) ![Bionaire Thin Manual Window Fan - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RQHEes3cL.jpg) ![Bionaire Thin Manual Window Fan - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hSNYkGi8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: So you have to flip the unit around to reverse fans? No switch for fans?** A: Crazy this does NOT have reverse. Flipping the fan around might be ok EXCEPT the side fan window support is NOT located in the middle of fan casing. The support is on the back of center. So one way the fan sits into window slots. Reversing the fan around the slots DO NOT fit in the window groves. So there is no secure window support in the fan is faced BLOWING OUT. Not good design. I took my fan apart hoping to see if I could alter the fan motor or fan switch to make a reversing feature without needing to physically flip fan around. No good. The fan spin direction is built into the motor itself. And the motor fits into the motor slot only one way. Can not flip motor around or change how the voltage is applied. Terrible design. All they would had to do is use a reversing motor in the fan instead of a fixed spin motor. Crazy!!!!!!!! **Q: can this fan do exhaust/intake? i'd like to have atleast one fan exhaust air out of my room** A: Here is a fan that can exhaust/intake simultaneously! And you can adjust to have both intake, both exhaust, or one of each! I saw comments in this thread and had to reply. I know this is an old thread but someone might want to know. Bionaire window fan with twin 8.5 inch reversible airflow blades and remote control! https://www.amazon.com/Bionaire-Window-Fan-with-Twin-8-5-Inch-Reversible-Airflow-Blades-and-Remote-Control-White/dp/B000065DKJ/ref=cm_wl_huc_item **Q: What are the noise levels for each speed setting?** A: I have two of these fans. I don't mind the air noise. But I cannot abide the tick tick tick tick sounds. One of the fans I have doesn't do that. The other does. I threw it away. Beware, your odds of getting a noisy one are 50/50. **Q: what are the dimensions of the fan???????** A: If you use it vertically (I.e β€œtall and skinny” direction, the unit including the casing is 9” wide. Which is the main reason that I purchased this rather unremarkable fan – I wanted to use it with a very narrow opening (Too narrow for a person to crawl through if they were on the other side and decided to pop the fan out of the window while I am gone). On the positive side – mine has been going for two years, probably on for average 30 hours per week 8 months per year And it hasn’t burned out yet! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium feel, great versatility.

I love my bigger Bionaire BW2300 Fan and whole-heartedly recommend it. After 5+ years of regular 2-season use, it still runs perfectly. But when it came time to replace an ancient, failed fan in a second bedroom, I was hoping for something a little cheaper while retaining Bionaire quality, which is where this fan comes in. I also thought the manual controls on this model would be longer-lived than an electronic thermostat. This fan runs great. Reasonably quiet even with all three fans spinning, and the small fans move a lot of air. The controls work well, although the thermostat is vague (hard to tell where it's set other than by spinning the dial until the fan starts/stops). On the negative, the fans don't turn up/down for the three speed settings. Instead one, two, or three fans are engaged to match the setting. Build quality is solid, but there's no handle. The fan will try to fall out when you try to open the window (it doesn't balance), and without a handle, it's kind of awkward to swap it around to reverse airflow or whatever else. But the main problem is the fit (for my windows) is terrible, and the fan is going back as a result. My initial hope was a vertical fit so I could have the window fully open and enjoy the view with the fan occupying just one side. Unfortunately, the fan is about 2" too long to install that way. Horizontal installation was even worse. Unlike the the bigger Bionaire and other fans I've had, the top of the fan is smooth. There are no indentations or brackets to hold the fan into the window, and thus it wants to fall backwards against the screen (or out the window if you don't have screens)-- the Andersen window simply wouldn't hold down the fan in horizontal mode. I found I *had to* to use the extender screens and brace them against the plastic sides of the windows to keep it in place. And even then, the extenders were pressing against non-structural parts of the window frame (bad in the long run). I had to angle them awkwardly to keep the fan in place and not press on the more delicate plastic. A terrible fit. The fan is also very short, so it installs at the very bottom of the window in horizontal mode. For me that means it's blowing directly onto a cat bed that was previously slightly below the airflow. If you have anything level with the bottom of your window, you'll have the same problem. Recommended if you have tall/narrow windows, otherwise this fan is very frustrating to get situated in windows like mine. Get the Bionaire BW2300 instead. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/1806888-bionaire-thin-manual-window-fan](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/1806888-bionaire-thin-manual-window-fan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
