Review on 🌬️ Sharper Image PORTAL Window Fan, 3 Speeds, Reversible Exhaust Mode, Weather Resistant, White/Black by Kathy Velez

Wanted to install a window fan in the upstairs bedroom for a new roommate. The item I received came in a large Revain box and the original Sharper Image box was previously opened and the original sealing tape was torn and hanging, the box flaps were refolded crosswise. When I carefully opened the box, I noticed for the first time that the device was protruding slightly from the box and the protective molded cardboard end cap was missing from the open end. The device was packaged in a plastic bag, but the bag was re-tied like a garbage bag. I removed the case and immediately saw that the entire black body of the device showed oily fingerprints and pieces of foam on the top and bottom were dusty. The left end of the device (with the orange insert) partially popped out at the top of the device, but with some gentle pressure I was able to snap it back into place. The other end piece was attached correctly. Unfortunately, as my roommate is moving tonight, I don't have time to bring him back. So I'm stuck. I opted for a thorough cleaning, after which I plugged it in and while I am very disappointed to receive the unit in an open box or possibly a previously used/returned unit, I have to accept it due to my immediate need. . It seems to work. Shame on you, Revane.
