About how far away can the fan be placed so that you would still feel it enough? I'd like to place it by an AC vent but I'm not sure if it would be too far from my bed.

I have mine on my desk at work. I don't think you could feel it more than 4 or 5 feet away, at least not more than a very light stirring of the air.

8 feet would probably be the maximum distance in full power. Hope this helps!

My fan is still waiting to be installed so I can't honestly answer your question, but according to the ratings, the fan should do a great job on that small an area. I plan to install mine soon...........

To add to the other answers- the fan is not going to blow you away. It works well, but it's hardly noticeable.

I don't see any point in setting a fan next to this either. If you want a heater with a fan, get one that has the fan built in. Having said that, this heater will nicely envelope a room in heat once it's been on for a bit. We use it in a bedroom and it's perfect. I did try it out in our living room, which is about 20 x 12 and eh, wasn't real impressed with the heat throw. Better suited to bedrooms or smaller dens, etc.

I have my bed fan at the foot of the bed on my side and it just blows up along my body under the sheet. My husband doesn't feel it at all.

The fan is not quiet, but would pull some cool air from room to room. But cool air will seek a lower section of a room, so fan should be placed low to pull cool air.

There are wire rings under the fan so that your finger won't go into the fan, and they would probably keep a blanket from going up as well. However, I think airflow would be bad if the fan were placed on a bed, pillow or other soft surface.

It is the quietest fan I own. Very quiet. I have it clipped to the headboard on my bed. If my pillow is pushed up tight against the headboard I can hear the vibration of the fan motor. As long as there is a space between the pillow and the headboard I can't hear it. Aside from that, it makes a quiet humming sound that relaxes me when I want to go to sleep. Mind you I have it just inches away from my head. I would imagine that if you were six feet away you wouldn't hear it at all.

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

I've had my unit for 2 years now. If you're wanting to keep a cool room cool it isn't all that important where you put it; it will keep the air moving around and it will feel cooler that just AC alone. If you're wanting to make a hot room cooler fast then put it close (or right in front of) the AC. If you get a more compact model it will take a little longer to cool the room down. One thing you can do in the winter/cold weather with this unit is position it so it's pointing straight up on low, and it will move around the warm air that gathers up by the ceiling...not something that you asked about; just an additional observation..

Absolutely. This is 1 great little fan. Quiet and powerful. You may have to set it on low or med depending on how far from bed because it really blows. You will love it.

It needs some airflow, we installed it in the back of our entertainment unit in the cabinet that holds the speakers, but there is an air gap between the unit and the wall-- ours isnt installed directly in the wall. this product basically a set of fans, so its pulling air from behind and pushing the air over the component (at least in our set up) so can you achieve that airflow in your closet?

Watch out for a defective fan motor that changes speed by itself. You won't feel any air movement at all. If you are lucky enough to get one where the motor is OK, it does a pretty good job moving air up to about 20 feet.

The fan is about 4 feet (48 inches) tall. Even if you placed the fan at a distance to cover a wider area, the fan does not have enough power to blow air to reach both beds.

The fan can be tilted downward. I have my fan attached to the wall at about 74 inches, and tilted downward so that the air blows across the bed. My ceilings were too low for a ceiling fan, so this is my alternative. It works very well.

Hello Richard, I had the same dilemma and I decided that the fan would be much more effective when used as an exhaust fan. I have a very hot running tube amp and it keeps it running warm. I did angle the cabinet to the back wall so that the air would be reflected away at about a 15 degree angle. Hope this helps. Jnm

That sounds good, consider where your make up air is going to come from. Without a good free flow source of make up air, you will notget much flow. Perhaps you have a shady and low and cool side of the house where you can add a vent for make up air. The opening for the make up air should be approximately the same square inches as the fan.
