Can the window be closed without removing this fan?

I have my in a basement window which is over sized and boxed in. But looking at the dimensions I would say no. You might end up damaging the screen. I like the fan and it does a good job of moving air.

No, in fact it can not be closed to secure the fan either without damaging the screen, I personally was quite disappointed in the quality of this product and would not recommend it to anyone.

Depends on the depth of the window and the placement of the fan. I have standard size windows and can't close them with the fan and screen in place.

The window can be closed without removing the fan. This is a great fan and has worked really well this year. Also has a reverse function to take hot air out.

Yes. I have modern double-pane windows with the screen integral to the window, and it's no problem. The fan mounts well to the inside (room side) of the frame. In fact, the window doesn't even go up quite far enough to clear the fan, and it's still okay, although in this case it is not easily removable. You have to mark screw holes with their template and screw it to the window frame... a bit of a pain. But it is a powerful and quiet fan.

If your window is a vertical opening, you can get by without anything. Make sure that the top window slides down to hold the unit in place. Ron

Do you mean close the fans so air is no longer moving through the fan? If so, no you can't do that. The best you can do is just turn the fan off. If you want to block all air flow all together through the window you will need to remove it and close the window. If you mean seal it into the window so that air is ONLY going through the fan. Yes, there are panels that come with the fan you can put in to help seal the fan into the window, but there only so much the panels can do. For example, my window is very large so even with the panels air can escape around the fan. I find it isn't that big of a deal though. Hope this helps!

You could do that , if you remove the fan blades and reverse them (not recommended). I think what this means is you can place the fan in a window either way . . . blowing in or blowing out. The fan case profile is the same either way.

I wasn't aware that it is available without the fan. I rarely use the fan, and believe you could do without it, unless you use your laptop under hot conditions.

Nope. I installed it with the window shut, but it doesn't prevent you from opening it. You just have to make sure to pull the pad and cover out of the way when you shut the window again.

The "storm guard" isn't really a part of the fan. It's just the way the fan mounts which would allow the window to move freely and close if needed, without removing the fan.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

Yes, I also didn't want to use the mister so I didn't attach it. I like this fan a lot, hope you do too.

Yes, you could, however I don't think I'd recommend it. I've found on some hot humid days/nights, the fan will come on by itself and stay on for hours. It's because the attic geats so hot. This pulls the air conditioned air out of the house, so we always manually shut it off after it does it's (great) job of removing humidity during a shower etc.

We haven't done this, but there are screws on the back that look like you can take it apart. It is a terrific fan - quiety and powerful. After getting one for ourselves, we bought one for our daughter.

There doesn't appear to be any way to secure or "lock" the fan in place. The unit is light and very easy to remove when necessary.

No, you do not. It simply slips into the window opening. However, I have now had my unit for 2 years and I have noticed a severe drop off in cooling power so I would look at another model if I were you.

I don't think you can turn it off. Unfortunately, many similar fan & cooler buttons produce similar sounds, none of which can be turned off.

Close your window or the fan? The fan is designed for the window to close on it and keep it in place. The fan comes with sides that will fit the window up to a certain width(should say in product description). The fan does not have a close option...just air in, air out or exchange. Hope this helps
