I have a small window in my room. Can I use this as a window fan?

I would not recommend buying it for a window. First of all, it's too small to be effective in any window. Second, it is meant to "boost" airflow from your forced air furnace and/or central air conditioner. The fan is not powerful enough to move air on it's own. They, I installed two of them, weren't powerful enough to make ANY difference (not even 1 degree) in my basement.

No. The instructions make it clear its only to be used indoors. If you mount it in a window, one side would be exposed to rain, dampness etc and would pose a fire hazard.

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.

been doing that for an window fan I have in my small attic. Will probably run a lot more than you think it will though, I am moving mine to a more central recepticle

The fan is not press fit into the window like other fans. You screw the fan into the window frame just in front of the sliding part of a double hung window.

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

I don't think it would be very effective as a desk fan - it doesn't move enough air.

Absolutely it can. I've had this fan for a couple of months now and it works outstanding to cool off a hot room. Granted, it's not going to cool a room off as quickly as blasting an air conditioner, but no fan could. For the price here, this is an outstanding fan. I've already purchased another one of these Lasko fans, and am planning on ordering two more soon, for every room in my home. So that should tell you something. ;-) Enjoy!

Yes, just place into the window and close it on top of the fan. It can also be placed in a sliding window, just set it on one end.

Yes you can use it as an exhaust fan but don't buy it. It's junk. Don't waste your money. A hand held fan is better than this one

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

If you need to cool a small space, it's just fine. My home office is tiny and I have this a/c right behind me. I needed to break the plastic vent bec it was shooting all the a/c to the vaulted ceiling. Since I made the adaptation, the cold air blows right on me while computing.

No the fan isn't strong enough for that. I had to buy another fan just for my use.

I bought this fan and I installed it inside bed room. So I do not know if this is suit you. You may have to call manufacturer.

I would think so. We bought it to sit on a work table to keep fumes low and provide ventilation for an assembly worker. The fan works very well. As long as there is a window sill to sit the fan on, it would work fine. Otherwise you could install a bathroom ventilation fan that would require cutting into the wall or ceiling and electrical wiring. This is a simpler alternative.

Yes you can still use it for a smaller room, your air will just get cleaned more often.

the fan is not super strong, but you can feel it blowing if you stand in front of the unit. You will be able to direct it but it should make your entire bathroom quite warm if the door is closed. I have an energy efficient home and when the finance failed during the polar freeze last year, three of these units kept my 1500 square foot home at 70 degrees without issues. good luck.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.
