Would I place this unit near the AC or across the room for best results? If placed near the AC would a more compact model suffice?

I think either setup would work. The Vornado circulates the cool air all around the room so position it so that wherever YOU are you are getting the most benefit of the cool. For example, if you are trying to cool off in your favorite chair, couch or bed, place it so you can feel the nice cool air as much (or as little) as you want. The size of the fan depends on the size of the room. In a small room, a smaller model is great. This one will do for a living room and good-sized bedroom. Hope this helps. I've gone through a lot of fans (with and without A/C) and these are the best.

This fan moves a lot of air. If you want good distribution of your. aC then across room is best

I've placed this fan across the room personally and from my experience, the fan does help cool down the entire room as what it does is to circulate the air bringing down the temperature of the room. Because I'm living in Singapore, where the climate is really hot, I usually have the fan faced directly to myself with the AC on and it does get really cold. I've not tried a compact model to further advice but this 733B is definitely a nice addition to my room.

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..

Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room. I use this near an AC to throw the cold air across the living/dining area--its a big double room. It works very well and is very quiet for the amount of air it moves. For a bedroom this unit is overkill, the smaller one is more appropriate--however you may find a mulitpurpose utility blower/fan works best. I picked one up at Lowes for $50, its a Lasko and moves a ton of air. Not throwing at a distance like the vornado, but feels like it moves more air within a shorter vicinity. The vornado's rock, enjoy whichever you end up with! Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room.

We did the exact same thing as the previous costumer stated, we used the hoses that came with the AC unit and moved it back and forth from a living room to a bedroom. The AC unit works great, takes out humidity and provides good AC. It was convenient to have the window kit set up in both rooms all the time.

I would go for a more powerfull option. In my opinion, one unit of this model, would be suitable for 13x13 ft. area.

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

We have ours indoors on the ground floor and close to a window. It works well but we are also not too far from transmission sources.

I think that May be pushing the unit a little. Much depends on how well the room is insulated, number of windows, and the direction the room faces. Southern exposure is best. In any event if you place the unit within 10' of the crib I thing it will do an adequate job.

I would try to. I installed my unit in a 500sqft rectangular room. Place the unit on a solid exterior wall with easy access for electrical and drainage. Mount the exterior condensor above ground with the supplied wall mount. It looks clean and will be out of the way. I did have two leaking valves that cost me to have the unit recharged after 2 months of operation. Either than that the unit is good for the price.

Yes I believe this would work fine for you. It did for more me, only I wasn't trying to be sneaky, lol, I just wanted to know if the AC was running during the night in a meeting hall I maintain.

All of the portable a/c's are a bit noisy - this no more than others as we have an LG, as well. We found, however, that the 14,000 unit was not adequate to cool a living room and dining room. Surely a 12,000 unit should be good for a bedroom, New Air is a quality product. Hope this helps a bit.

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

so far i have ran, hair curler, coffee maker Dvd player and Tv at the same time so to answer your question i do think you can run an AC unit out of it. so long as its not too big.

If your air handler is in the attic, it will be significant. If it's mounted in the garage, not as much. The further south you live, the higher the savings. Stick with this unit as the power draw is minimal compared to the larger unit which draws twice as much power.

My living room is larger than 10 X 10 and it seems to do very well. It depends on how cool that you want it. Personally it makes it comfortable and is an excellent supplement to AC on extremely hot days. The decibel level goes up when you increase the speed.

I would also recommend the larger fan. I installed the 110cfm fan in our 10 x 12 bath and if works great.

I would be cautious of the length of the run and the environment. I had issues getting picture, but it was because I had to run right next to ac voltage. When I ran test leads that were separated it worked very well. I had no choice but to run next to the ac so I had to use a much more expensive single cat6 balun instead. If you don't have issues with electric you should be fine.

Might not be big enough unit for the area ? We have one upstairs and one downstairs. They are working great at 45%. Or give it to more time.

This is a small personal device. You will notice effects if you are close by, but the humidifier will not be effective in a large room with high ceilings. The essential oils will diffuse throughout the room, though.
