Can the fan also be set on the floor or on a table? In other words, can it stand on its own or does it have to be in a window to stay upright?

No. The Bionaire will not stand by its own. However, I built a wooden rack to support it and placed it in front of an open window. Now I can adjust the window, up or down, to regulate the amount of air I want coming into the room. Good luck.

It can stand on its own, but it has no rubber grips and slides extremely easily over smooth surfaces. Like a desk.In my personal experience, No. One accidental bump would send this to the floor, and the material it is made from would not survive. Secure it with screws.

There is a slit between the front and back of the fan. You can either hold the fan or leave it resting on the table. It works well.

You are able to leave it in one position or oscillate. I do like the look of this fan and it is plenty powerful....only downside is that depending on where you place the fan it can be rather noisy.

it can stand on its own but it doesn't have anything in the back, most likely things will fall. if you put it against a wall and make sure it doesn't move around then yes you can keep it standing. Otherwise I suggest you secure it to the wall with the screws provided.

The base to fan ratio is very misleading in the picture. The base is very large. I think for what you've described it would be unstable. The fan attaches to the bottom of the unit, and as you can see in the photo there are controls on the top that would prevent it from being stood up on an even surface. Hope this helps!

Yes you can stand it on the floor. You can mount it also. Its heavy but its can be.

No, the fan will work independently but it is not very strong. It is truly a mister with the fan not adding much to the party. I would have liked a stronger fan.

Placed in a window it should do the trick. We also use ours to blow ac air from one room to another. Vornado fans are very sturdy.

The fan can be adjusted to fold backwards, so if you put it on the floor it would then be aiming upwards. It does not go more forward than 90 degrees so unless you prop it up from behind on something it will not direct air downwards.

It is supposed to be able to stand alone but is knocked over very easily. It comes with a hook to hang on the wall and that has worked out well for me. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on table if you aren't able to hang it up be sure it's on the floor

yes in two ways - the fan can be raised or lowered on its stand, and the fan itself can be pointed up or down.

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.

The fan itself rotates left to right, or you can set it to a stationary position. Also the fan does adjust up and down, so you can angle it for how you want the air to blow. Very happy with this fan. I have two

This fan is a bit fragile, so you probably shouldn't try to use it any other way than just sitting on a countertop while you are parked. I doubt it would survive a 3 foot drop onto a hard surface. As others have said, you could fashion a bracket, use Velcro or epoxy. But, I've found that (no offense) people who ask a question at this level also are not up to fashioning their own custom mountings. So, just set it on a table or the floor. Other fan designs are more amenable to safe installation.

The stand is free-standing - you can place it anywhere on a table or desk. It's been very stable for me.

We keep it on the floor in our family room. No need for a stand. We have a much bigger habitat I built outside.
