I use it as an air purifier. I truly do not think this will help a hot room. It has lasted a long time and is pretty good as a purifier in my hall. I only used it one time as a cold air unit. To me it was a nuisance, and it would have to be right in front of you. I have an additional window a/c unit for my bedroom that works well. You can get those pretty reasonable. I honestly do not think this particular item is your answer.

It helps if the room is really hot. You have to keep cooling the water though. This helps with the dry air too.

I've had several of these fans - I put one in the living room and sometimes one at the end of the dining room blowing towards the kitchen. I have a ceiling fan in the bedroom. I usually keep the living room one on high and there is is soft noise which I've gotten used to and, strangely, if there's a momentary power outage and the fan stays off (because it has an electric starter), the extra quiet of the house sounds weird. Of course, my AC intermittently make some noise too. The main benefit is keeping the air circulating and preventing buildup of odors from furniture, etc..

1. I do not think it would fully cool a 700 sq. foot apartment. Mine is ~850 and so I just use it in the bedroom; it keeps it below 70 degrees. Bedroom is 400 sq. feet.2. You can barely hear it run; the unit is quieter than any fan I have ever heard...

Depends how far up in Maine you are. I lived in Ct and it kept my small room, about 650 sq ft at 68 degrees easily. The fan only stays on until the unit is cooled. Set it up automatically and don't worry about it. Nice machine

It depends, if the room is a 5x5 this will help. I use this fan in conjunction with a 600 watt light to grow veggies. The fan on one end of the light and a six inch dryer vent type hose on the other end. The fan cools the light and the hose blows the hot air out of the room. I also use an oscillating fan as well. Bigger room= bigger fan. Hope this helps

My bedroom has a very high ceiling. Once he heater has been running for a few minutes (abt 15) I turn on the ceiling fan to help circulate the air from the ceiling. It always raises the temp a couple of more degrees at the floor level.

I think either setup would work. The Vornado circulates the cool air all around the room so position it so that wherever YOU are you are getting the most benefit of the cool. For example, if you are trying to cool off in your favorite chair, couch or bed, place it so you can feel the nice cool air as much (or as little) as you want. The size of the fan depends on the size of the room. In a small room, a smaller model is great. This one will do for a living room and good-sized bedroom. Hope this helps. I've gone through a lot of fans (with and without A/C) and these are the best.

Absolutely YES. YES. Highest heat transfer comes with coldest air MOVING against the hottest surface. Also, using a fan will cause the heater to draw (slightly) more power, making (slightly) more heat and spreading it widely. (Lower temp-&gt;lower element resistance-&gt;higher power draw-&gt;greater heat output with no bad effect on the life-span of the heater, it's a win-win.) AND, the fan will ensure that the thermostat never switches the heater OFF. Every extra minute ON is another minute generating more heat. :) Another fan, on the floor, blowing colder floor-air up and into the warmer ceiling-air (hot air rises) will mix the air, making the room more comfortable in less time. Fans are NOT just for summer anymore, because they can help you stay warm, too. :) Did anyone here take college physics? FYI- I was an engineer for thirty years or so. Hope this is useful. PS-I have a fan running now, in New England, in November, on a gray and blustery day.

Yes, it will cool a small bedroom. I have it in my very large studio (~750 square feet) with a sleeping loft (thus very high ceiling), and it works great.

I have a one-bedroom apartment and my landlord doesn't believe in constant heat, so I move it around as needed. My living room is 10x15 and it warms it up within 10 minutes. There are two heat settings, and the hotter setting is really hot. I'll heat the room with the hottest setting, then use the lighter setting to keep it at temp. There are only two things to be aware of with this fan: It must be on a solid surface so that the safety release isn't activated, and you have to clean the filter in the back every couple of months.

Not sure I understand the question I use the fan to move hot air from my living room where I have I wood burning Stove. In the summer I move air conditioned air from living room inti othe r areas in house It does both well.

I use it to keep the area under my desk warm and it works just fine. But I don't know how well it would do for a whole room. If the room is small and you keep the door closed, it might be OK. It is a nice unit though and it is very quiet. I like the fact that it provides soft and steady heat, rather than a fan blowing air at me.

I don't believe it is meant to heat up a room so much as place on a desktop and keep you warm. This is how I use it and it works very well. It is small and takes up little space . It only has ON or OFF settings.

I'd like to help... But I only use mine for heat. Ive neither AC, nor fan to control, but the terminals are on the device. Sorry.

Is only a very powerful fan moves a lot of air, very noisy. if u are looking for a A/C like..... I recommend the ones with water running in front of the fan, feels a lot like A/C

I'm heat and cooling a 12 x 30 atic room and it does great. The room is well insulated though. Hope this helps.

You want it just on 'Cool' with the fan at its highest setting. Dehumidify and Fan don't really do any cooling, but Cool will also dehumidify. I use this in my room and it works great, even in an Arkansas summer!
