Minnkota Windows Reviews 2026
Minnkota Windows is based in West Fargo, North Dakota and has been in the window and door business since the mid 1980s. The company manufactures and sells vinyl windows and doors that use rehau vinyl mainframes, which are considered very good quality. This quality is reflected in the performance data of the windows, which the company posts on their website (which I love - transparency). In particular, I am very impressed by the very low air infiltration ratings, with many of their windows achieving .04 and below. All excellent numbers. Scroll down to read our Minnkota Windows Reviews.
Our Verdict: While their vinyl windows aren't all that nice looking (they appear sort of fuddy duddy to me), there is no denying the company makes a very good window and door. Absolutely worth a bid for those homeowners who have a Minnkota dealer in their area.

Homeowner Minnkota Windows Reviews
Below are Minnkota Windows reviews, consumer pricing, homeowner accolades, and possible complaints. Happy reading.
"6 years back (anyone remember COVID) we replaced all the original wood casement windows using MinnKota and are happy happy with the decision. The new windows perform well, the installation was great, so so far so good. Before actually buying, we were able to visit the showroom and compare the different window types: casements, single hungs, sliders. It was great and made our selection process that much easier. Totally recommend."

Editor's Advice:
Minnkota vs Thermo-Tech Windows
| Window Series | Total Quote Installed | Average Installed Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Thermo-Tech Energy Guard High Performance | $8,000 | $1,143 |
| Alpen Tyrol Series | $9,500 | $1,357 |
"I have a bid from Thermo-Tech on their Energy Guard High Performance that they say matches the Alpen Tyrol series. The Thermo-Tech cost is $8.k, while the Alpen cost is $9.5K. This is for 7 windows with installation. Also have a Minnkota windows bid that is quite a bit less so I'm curious as to your thoughts."

Editor's Advice:
Robert, you have three good companies in the mix so far. If the Minnkota bid is quite a bit less, then I would seriously consider them. While I don't find their windows to be the most modern looking, they are certainly well made and when it comes down to it, that's the most important point (my wife would disagree on this point, but that's a different story). I love Alpen windows HPP, but unless this is your forever home, I think the bid is probably cost prohibitive when compared with the other two.
