Overview
A modular block system holds the Portal in a window without removing the screen, and a reversible airflow chamber switches between bringing in cool air and pushing stale air out. It stands only a little over six inches tall.
Keeping the view and the window's natural light mostly intact makes this lower than a box fan, and reversing the air flow covers cooling and ventilation. The width range is a hard limit for fit, and no airflow rating is listed.
Who it's for
Apartment and home owners who want ventilation that does not block the window and can be reversed for cooking smells will fit the use. Owners with very wide or oddly shaped windows should measure carefully.
Pros and cons
- Reversible intake and exhaust
- Fits without removing the screen
- Weather resistant casing
- Airflow rating not listed
- Window width range is limited
- Plug-in cord only
- Remote not listed
Performance notes
Reversing the airflow chamber lets the same fan bring in cooler outside air at night or exhaust warm indoor air during the day. The brushless motor runs more quietly than a conventional one, and a push button steps through the speed levels. Fit against the window frame decides how much air leaks around it.
