Vector windows sells two window series, which includes the Advantage and the Envision. The Advantage is the company's base model and is available as a single hung, glider window and in several specialty shapes. The Advantage uses a less robust window frame, does not use a sloped sill, lacks a few key upgrades, and is available in less colors. This is a hard pass for me. My rating for the Advantage window is a 3.6 out of 5 stars.
The Vector window warranty is not great (not horrible either). It covers the original owner from any manufacturing defects or damage according to the following time lines.

Over the last few years, we’ve replaced five windows, and we’re planning to do four more next month, with the rest happening gradually over the next few years. So far, we’ve been happy with the vinyl windows our contractor has installed. They’re from Vector Windows (formerly Vinylite), a Minnesota company that only sells through lumberyards. That said, they’ve always seemed a bit on the pricey side.
Audrey, as far as I'm concerned both the Andersen 100 window and the Pella 250 series are the better buys over the Vector Envision. Better brands and larger companies means that you're probably a bit safer going with them over the Vector option. And the price points are lower, which is a significant plus.
Good Day Tim, I found your email from your newsletter. I am looking to replaces 9 sliding window in my House. My home is located near Green Bay. I am looking for vinyl material. I understand that there different types of vinyl quality in the market - Which manufacture are using the mid range material. I am looking for a mid range window with this specification. U-Value 0.3 / R-Value + R 5 / SHGC less 0.4 / VT 40-70.
Walberto, I'm going to send you some windows I consider good and great. Go through the list and get some different price bids to see what's out there. I've never heard of Vector windows so I'm not going to comment on them at this time.
Good Day Tim, I did as you indicated in your text. I have 4 quotes for 9 windows;
Walberto, the best quote for me on your list is the last one, the Wincore 7700. This is a good window, quite solid and that is an excellent price, lower than I would have expected. I don't know enough about Eco Sky (to be more honest, I know nothing about them). So, for me, right now the Wincore is the winner. Wincore Windows Reviews

Quality Of Vector Windows And Doors
Conversely, the company also offers the Envision series, which is available as an awning, casement, double hung, single hung, glider window and in several specialty shapes. The Envision uses a more robust window frame, use a sloped sills, has better rollers, innerlock rail, and is available in many more interior and exterior colors. While not a top tier vinyl window, this is a passable option in my estimation for budget projects. My rating for the Envision window is a 4.0 out of 5 stars.
In terms of the company's patio doors, the company offers their standard model and their upgraded Elite patio sliding door. About the same basic quality as the Envision series.
Vector Windows Warranty
Lifetime for seal failure in the insulated glass unit.
Lifetime for vinyl mainframe and sash.
Hardware Lifetime for all hardware.
10 Years For Laminate Frame
Additionally, the warranty is transferrable to a subsequent owner for 10 years from the date of installation. After the first ten years, the subsequent owner has a pro-rated schedule (meaning the company covers a smaller percentage of the replacement or repair cost). Finally, Vector covers the cost of labor for two years from the date of installation.
Warranty terms and provisions change quite often so please look at the latest warranty terms prior to purchase of Vector windows and patio doors.

Vector Windows Cost
We didn’t do inserts, but had to completely remove the old windows and install new ones with new casings. This week, I decided to check out some retail options and priced out Andersen 100 series windows and Pella 250 series windows. To my surprise, these were actually cheaper. For example, a roughly 2’ x 4’ casement window was about $370 for the Pella 250 series, $470 for the Andersen 100 series, and $450 for the Vector casement. When I compared their U-factors, they all looked pretty similar.
What gives me pause is that I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews online, especially for the entry level Andersen or Pella windows. This makes it hard to know if I should be looking beyond just U-factor and basic specs.
We’re in Minnesota, so cold winters are definitely a factor in what we're considering buying. As we move ahead with buying the rest of the windows, I just want to make sure we’re making the right choice. Also, if we’re paying more, that it’s actually worth it. I haven’t found many Vector windows reviews, probably because they’re a smaller, more local company.
Overall, the windows have been solid and haven't given us any issues, but I want to be sure the higher price is justified. Slider and picture window prices seem pretty comparable across brands, but the casements from Vector are noticeably more expensive.

So, I suppose my only hesitation is that you already have the Vector option and like it. There is something to be said about having the same look and feel for all of your windows and doors. Still, I'd rank the Pella Windows 250 as the overall winner in this three window race.

1) Vector quote $2,000 for - I do not know much about the quality of this window but our local Lumber suppliers recommended. What do you know about this company?
2) EcoSky quote $4,000 plus another 11000 to install it. They do not sell the window along.
3) Belmont (alliance) quote $2400 Alliance Windows Reviews
4) Wincore 7700 quote $3800
What are the advantage and disadvantages? What are your thoughts? I am located close to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

You could try for an Okna or Sunrise bid, but they will be more than the Wincore 7700 bid. I would definitely pass on the Vector window option.
