I want to use this in a stand-alone one room dance studio with only one window. If it's very hot outside, will this really keep it cool inside?

I haven't used it for that purpose - just for cooling down rooms once it starts to cool down outside. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I doubt it it sounds like you need an air conditioner if it's "very hot". If you had some cross ventilation it might help, but even with two windows a fan isn't the answer in really hot weather.

Well To be honest mine was not working right when received.. SO I CANT HELP ...SORRY

No, if it's hot outside it will not keep it cool inside. The main use for it, is to circulate the "stale" air inside with fresh air from outside. It makes it significantly more bareable but definately not cool.

Not at all. First, even on high, it has almost no power. You need to be right in front of it to even know it's on. Second, in order for this fan to cool the room down, the air outside has to be much cooler than the air inside. If it's hot outside, it will merely bring that hot air in and weakly circulate it. I find this fan useful ONLY when it's cool outside--like at night.

This fan is good for drawing fresh air inside and also to cool down your studio if the air is cool outside. If it is hotter outside then it would not help with cooling.If your studio only has one window then you are not likely to get much fresh air flowing in, that's a good reason to buy one of these window fans.

I would not recommend it. You are putting humidity into the air and with nowhere to vent the humid air you will end up with a sauna. Even with a window open, this did not cool at all for me.

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

This unit is only a supplement heater. Cannot be used to heat the same size area that it can cool. I mainly use to cool my basement shop when working on my Harley's in the Summertime. It is used in the Winter to make it possible that I can work down there in the Winter with a light Jacket on. I hope this has helped. Ken

Sort of. If it is placed by an open window it will draw in air that is cooled and the fan spreads the cooled air. We use ours as an humidifier, and it still cools. But remember, this is an evaporative cooler -- buy for the size of room.

It depends on the temperature outdoors. I used this in my office/studio which is about 20x20 and it was fine unless the outside temperatures dropped below 25 F. I generally prefer cool rooms, so never had the temperature set above 68 F.

I doubt it. It definitely vents heat. We use the window kit but have it "temporarily" propped and sealed with roll caulk in the window vs. screwed into the wood. We didn't want to make it a permanent part of the window. The kit is not ideal because there is some air exchange at the window. But, the upside is that the room is definitely cooler than the rest of the second floor of our home. It's like a little oasis when it's hot.

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

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..

I used it as a fan for a few days when the weather warmed up a bit. It kept me comfortable. I never used it near the window, so i can't say how well it will do, but the speed it has on fan is the same as the medium speed in our box fan. Hope this helps.

I use mine in a 660 sqft bait shop and if I open my front door, I get a significant breeze drawing through the shop, I can clear the air in minutes. The key to any of these fans is to have a fresh air source,like an open window or door. The air in my shop gets hot due to 7 refrigerators and freezers operating constantly and the heat can kill alot of my live bait. I have found it to be exceptional for cooling my space.

From what I've used mine for it does get fairly hot when it gets enclosed. Given the built in fan it probably would be a bad idea.

If it is very hot then this fan will only move the hot air around. You'll probably still need a small A/C unit.

I think it would heat up the space nicely. I have mine in a drafty old barn and I can get a 30 degree difference overnight between outside temps and inside when the doors are closed.

It will not keep you cool, even with a dehumidifier. Try a Air Conditioner with a compressor and fan motor. A window unit cost more but it's better for cooling with all windows closed. They come in different sizes. Make sure you can set it up in the window and lock it down!

I can't see how it would. I have mine cooling the computer room in the middle of my building (no outside window), however, I have it vented out the drop ceiling, in to the 'attic space' that IS vented to the outside. The vent once came off, and the heat in that tube was substantially higher than I thought it would be. And the ac ran the whole time as the harder it tried to cool, the hotter the exhaust air that wasn't being exhausted but sent back into the room, etc. It needs to be exhausted somewhere or it won't work.

the fan is not super strong, but you can feel it blowing if you stand in front of the unit. You will be able to direct it but it should make your entire bathroom quite warm if the door is closed. I have an energy efficient home and when the finance failed during the polar freeze last year, three of these units kept my 1500 square foot home at 70 degrees without issues. good luck.
