If I wanted to use this as a manual reverse fan or a small bathroom window (20Lx15H), would it work?

Yes, this would work. Fan measures 10" wide by 11" tall and moves a pretty good volume if air for its size.

Ideal for desks and tabletops with limited space. We would not recommend using in a window.

I use it in my bathroom window. I tend to get a "mold" issue if I don't. I leave the fan in the window already with the "on" switch in place. The outlet is the same height as the height of the window. (Installed by an electrician). I have a separate light switch to turn in on. I use it primarily during the summer. After the shower, the steam is literally running down the walls. The fan helps to dissipate the steam. When it comes to electric and water, use with caution. Good luck.

I am shocked... Even the manual reverse doesn't work if your window has a screen. The fan has its bulky front with its brand name "Homes" which bothers window from holding the fan stable.. Stupid design..

That is not the intended application but I think it could work. Whole house fans are generally MUCH larger though.

Yes, it could. Although would be pretty useless and really used for decorative purposes only. You would have to use largest power fan, you can get a hold of. Possibly could work, but see it more for looks then functionality. GL

It might work, but the overall power is so weak, I wonder if it will be sufficient for a bathroom of any size, especially if the exhaust piper is long.

Yes, I think it would... I did return mine because it didn't work out for me in a small bathroom though....

It is good for a very small room like bathroom or closet with no window. If you open the window it defeats the purpose.

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.

The flow through this unit would probably be too large to be used this way. A better choice might be the "Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine 120 CFM In-Line Fan, 4-Inch Duct" unit Amazon sells. I use the 120 cfm unit as an exhaust fan on a switch for a single bathroom. I use the 240 cfm unit as a vent fan on a timer for four rooms. You will probably need to connect the power to this unit through the furnace controls so that it is switched on and off with the furnace. Don't mount the fan too close to the furnace to avoid temperatures over 140 degrees.

The fan is fairly powerful, I would think in a bathroom it would be quite sufficient.I used it continuously for a little over a year, then it died, out of warranty however.

I don't think it would work in this application. a fan would work to remove the moisture from the windows.

I don't see why not cause it is made for bathrooms and bathrooms make a lot of steam . But the company tells you to install it upright just for that reason. The fan works great, pulls a lot of air and is quiet. I don't think that you will have any problems at all. Good luck

It wasn't designed to fit in that manner. I would not try it. See if you can find smaller fan.

I am presently using it to control a 130 cfm bathroom exhaust fan. It works great.

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

Pat..I'm not sure, but I think it can. I had to return the fan, because it was too small for the window. Make sure you measure ti ensure a proper fit if you are to purchase.It is a very nice reversible fan and I wish it would had fit. It does not come with a remote which was also disappointing.

It would be very difficult because this fan is over 8" diameter. Why would you want to use such a large fan in a small duct? If you are determined, I'm sure you could make an adapter to custom fit it in line, however, a computer fan might be more compatible in this application.
