would this fan fit in a small window? I'm concerned about the part that holds the fan against a surface. Would that need to be lifted for air to pass?

Do not buy this fan. The amount of the output of air is so disappointing...sorry , but it is the truth....any which way, for what ever purpose- buy something else. I love the idea behind this fan, but do not waste your money on it!

I don't think this fan has a lip or surface that would hold it or make it capable of staying in a window. The bracket that fits under the counter is an open square-shaped piece that would not add to the strength of the fan's structure. I wouldn't recommend putting it in a window.

That sounds good, consider where your make up air is going to come from. Without a good free flow source of make up air, you will notget much flow. Perhaps you have a shady and low and cool side of the house where you can add a vent for make up air. The opening for the make up air should be approximately the same square inches as the fan.

I don't think it would. Even if the mount fit in that space (which it possibly could), the fan would be hanging over the top of the doorway. May bump it with your head, it's a pretty big fan.........

Yes. I have modern double-pane windows with the screen integral to the window, and it's no problem. The fan mounts well to the inside (room side) of the frame. In fact, the window doesn't even go up quite far enough to clear the fan, and it's still okay, although in this case it is not easily removable. You have to mark screw holes with their template and screw it to the window frame... a bit of a pain. But it is a powerful and quiet fan.

There is a slot or groove (L shaped) on the fan where you just lower the window into this groove for a sealed fit, and also panels on the sides to slide to the edges of the window for a secure fit. Very easy to install and uninstall. It fits pretty flush with the inside and doesn't stick out into the room. Hope this helps. Good fan, good choice.

Sure, The design of the window fan says it all. Can you imagine the same design with one small fan. It would move alot less air. Two is better than one. Unless you buy One large Box fan to put in the window.

I'm looking for an air conditioner and I think this is the one I'll be getting next week. I'm disabled with arthritis, single, and would like to know the answer to that question too, and just how difficult it might be to install. My bedroom window is one that opens from a couple inches off the floor with the bottom window going up. The top part doesn't open. I have one of those fans that fit just fine in it with pull-out extensions to seal it in. I hope this will be about like that.I hope someone notices and answers!..Thanks for any help.Robyn

I personally would not put it in a space without a little air circulation. This unit is being used in a small alcove with approximately 4-6 inches clearance around and works really well. The air is forced out through the bottom front.

The bottom of the fan is encased, but if you had a lap board it would be better. I would be afraid if you had a soft downy type comforter it might go up in the enclosure. I hope this helps you.

YesIt depends on your window. The fins on the side cover about 2.5-3" then a semi circle starts to appear. It works fine considering I don't exactly try to seal the fan into the window. You will feel some blow back if you're in exhaust mode. I do suggest having some sort of screen between the fan and the outside. The fins aren't good enough for keeping out bugs.

I don't think so. The top half and sides are mesh so there probably is enough for air circulation with windows down.

You could do that , if you remove the fan blades and reverse them (not recommended). I think what this means is you can place the fan in a window either way . . . blowing in or blowing out. The fan case profile is the same either way.

You would need to make something that would hold the top of the air conditioner and to cover the space above it. I don't think this would work in a sideway sliding window. You would need another smaller window glass frame or wood to hold it.

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

Hi,The fan will move air quite well for a small fan/heater. However, it is really not powerful cooling fan. It is a fan heater combo that really does a great job of heating small areas like the motorhome.I have had this fan/heater for a few years now and it works very well. Jon Green

No. The construction my not be strong enough to hold a fan. Even a light fan may shake the whole structure.

It is a tight fit inside... but there is a really good amount of airflow (even with two hard drives). I personally use the two extra fan mounts. I haven't tested it with only one... but I'd probably recommend at least one of the other fan mounts to help the air flow through the box.
