Does the fan run constant when in AC mode, even when the compressor is off? Or can the fan be set to turn off, like "energy save" mode on window unit?

The fan runs continuously, even after the unit has reached its desired temperature. There is no way to turn that feature off.

Yes it has an auto power off feature like a thermostat feature setting or you can run the fan continuously,optional.

No to both questions. It will stop blowing ac air but it stays on unless you put it to sleep

WARNING: Fans on units built after 2014 designed to NEVER shut off!I just bought this (April 2015) and the fan never shuts off -- it runs all the time regardless of whether the compressor shuts off. Even 3 hours after the compressor shuts off, it will run.The only way to stop the fan is to put it on the timer... but that only means it will run for the length of time you set on the time. Then it will never turn on again.

yes it has an energy saver mode...I just set the temperature at 77 and the fan on low...it performs well...

When you set the A/C on for cool air, it vents(pulls) the hot air from inside and blows cooled air from the outside. If you turn the unit on in the fan only setting, it will blow(normal, ambient) air from the outside without venting(pulling) the air from inside the room. If you only want ambient outside air, the fan only setting will do that, but won't recycle the air like it would if you set the unit to cool the room. Good luck.

It is made that way. In cooling mode the fan runs but the fan consumes negligible amount of power and is made for that. Fan needs to run to continually sample the room air to decide when to come back on.

Used as A/C short cycle protection, when a/c turns off this unit will delay the ' on' for at least 5 minutes so compressor cools down before restarting

I believe the reason there is some confusion around the fan running when the compressor shuts down is due to the unit killing the compressor when the coils freeze. If you have a basement that is in the 60's, often times the coils will freeze and the dehumidifier will shut off till they defrost. I've noticed it once over the last week.In short, when the humidity hits the set amount, fan and compressor will shutoff. When dehumidifying, the compressor may shutoff to defrost the coils and the fan will continue to run (helping to defrost the coils).

The fan shuts off with the compressor. Bought this to replace a four year old unit from Lowes that ran continuously. This Keystone works great, I should have bought it a year ago. It dries the air quickly then cycles on & off as needed. Very quiet compared the old one.

very low energy use because of the small size of the fan. There are three fan speeds low, med, high. You set the humidity level you are comfortable with. When that level is reached the fan shuts off until the level drops and then it turns on again. We have a 1800 sq ft home and it keeps it at 40% humidity with no noticable spike in power use.

It runs continuously. I have a device that measures electricity costs and if the fan runs 100% (without the compressor turning on) I am showing only a cost of about $2-$3 per month. A lot of models seem to be this way; the claim is that it keeps the air circulating and makes the unit more efficient to run. If it prolongs the life of the device; it will be worth it in the end.

If it uses the same logic as my ARC-12 Whynter, the fan runs continuously in cool mode and the compressor (and exhaust blower) cycles to maintain the temp.

There is an option to run the fan where it is always on. There is an "auto" function when it only runs when the furnace/ac is running. And there is a function where it can be set to run randomly about 35% of the time whether the furnace/ac is running or not.

The fan runs continuously as long as the unit is turned on. I am not at the house that has this unit right now. But, as I recall, Auto Fan is just a continuous fan setting.

The only thing to be aware of, not made clear in the owner's manual for portable air conditioners (any that I have researched so far) is that the fan will run continuously, even when the desired temperature for the room that you set has been achieved. This is different from window air conditioning units that have the ability to turn the fan off when the set temp is satisfied, and only come on periodically to sample the air and see if the compressor needs to cool the air down again. I have found no portable units that offer this feature. Spoke with the manufacturer of the Toyotomi product, and they appreciate the feedback but have no plan to incorporate the feature into their product.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.
