Best With bug screen: sharper Image Window 2 way Fan

Buy on Amazon

Best part: sharper image window 2 way fan costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours.

The foam fillers work so-so but cutting them with a very sharp carpet knife and some white caulk works pretty well. It makes a rotating sound when the fan is set to blow air into the room. It will sit up against the screen.
