Pros: It just works. I bought it to be a fan, the temperature settings do not apply to me. Capable of independently changing fan direction with a physical switch.Cons: There's no ON/OFF switch or speed control. You have to press this single button in the center that needs a full 13 presses to be fully off again. It has to go to OFF / FAST / SLOW / (10 temp setting programs) / OFF (AGAIN).Other Thoughts: I wish that there was a window fan that would be able to stay in year-round that would have some kind of vent to close.
