Found this today at Goodwill.
Interesting that is can be spun around for intake or exhaust.

One speed

With expandable side panels

Perfect for my new kitchen. What do I have to do to charm you out of it? Any ideas?

Once again Mr.Toggles

You left your refrigerator door open again and we can see your pickles and matzos balls.
Please invite us all to have our plates ready because you have a very large fan base....

Waiter........, a glass of water please!
lol

Baby blue is not my best color

Slow traditional TAKSIM (literally "hello"), an introduction followed by TSIFTETELI (chifteteli).

Actually it sucks AND it blows!

"Check please!"lol

Oh Larry.... *LOL* .Pickles? plural? I'd be RICH!

Here is one at the BOTTOM of the list in terms of masculinity. But I could not resist.........

Sorry to hijack, Gary. All in good fun....

I am looking for exactly such a fan for our new place!

Speaking of fans here is a classic looking hassock fan

These are great for "De-stratification" (i.e. Eliminating a cold floor and a warm ceiling). Especially good in summer with cooling if your HVAC system lacks (adequate) return-air vents/grills up high.

Now there is a gift at really sucks.

Well, whatever I did was successful. Got the fan delivered 100+ miles to my home. *LOL*

Two large coffee/tea cup hooks and wo bungee (sp?) cords and here we are.......

The bungee cords function as hinges allowing me to lower (open) the upper portion of the window.

Mounting.

There are keyhole-type slots in the sides to allow for screwing the whole thing to the window frame.

I like my idea better.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Add frou-frou *poofy* frilly valance to hide the sloping window frame, and there you have it..........

The perfect way to pull heat, humidity, odors and grease out of the kithchen when proper permamently-installed venting is not possible.

What a lovely gift!

That brings back memories! My grandparents had a Vornado in the utility room window that was a bit larger and had the fins on the back side for directing the air. Three speeds, on high it would pull air in from every window in the house. I think theirs pivoted from the sides to exhaust or pull outside air in - which I don't think they ever used. It stayed in the window for the entire spring & summer.

That is a very nice gift - now you won't need air conditioning this summer and you'll save a fortune on electric costs!

We had that same fan years ago with the "Korvettes" label on it.
