In this episode, we’re helping you prep for late spring and summer with affordable ways to stay cool and escape the heat—wherever you are.
Cool Gadgets for Warmer Days
Chris shares his experience with the Vornado TRANSOM window fan, which he used in our summer home last year. This powerful fan features a weather-resistant case, reversible exhaust mode, and four speeds. There are two versions available—one with a remote, and one that works with Alexa. Chris explains the differences and demos the Alexa-compatible version he just installed in his NY office.
👉 Want to grab one for yourself? Click here to check it out on Amazon – both versions are listed, so be sure to choose the one that fits your setup. Check the correct radio button to choose the version you want. Note that this is an affiliate link, so we’ll receive a small commission if you purchase from it.
We also chat about:
– Tower fans and why touch buttons might not be ideal
– Windmill fans and how they compare
– Those quirky personal coolers you fill with ice (aka “swamp coolers” in the South)
