Hi,

I would like to purchase a window fan for one of two windows (24" x 24"
or 35" w x 21" h) but have been surprised by the poor quality of fans I
see in stores. Can anyone recommend a model with perhaps three speeds
and of build that will last more than a few years?

most "box fans" are around 2ft by 2ft, 3spd, and run bout $15 or so. ive
got a couple of those.

We will use the fan to help cool a small 1100 sq ft house off in the
summer after the sun has gone down (we are in southern California).

to cool a similarly sized place, i use 2 20" floor fans- one sucking air
in through the cool front screen door, and one blowing the warmish air
out the back patio door. run em both for mebbe 10mins, clears the stale
air out.
