If it's caked on or you need precision air pressure. It probably won't work. If it's light just dust. Maybe

We would not use it for dusting walls or washing them. The manufacturer does not suggest that they be used for those purposes. But, you could ask the mfgr. Sorry, I can't answer for them.

Yes you can, but as others have stated it may restrict air flow. Using clean filters will be the best.

I don't. But you shed millions of dead skin everyday. All fans get dirty after some time and you do need to wipe them clean etc. Just make sure to clean the area around your fan. Maybe even place it atop a small chair or something and see if that helps your problem. Plus just dusting your home often helps.

I concur with the other responses. The volume and fine nature of dust would clog a typical household vacuum in a very, very short amount of time. The extra stress on the motor might ruin the vacuum. I am curious how it might work with one of those Dyson models though. Could they actually spin out the dust? My guess is "No".

I would think that cleaning computer parts with the above mentioned 'Rocket Air Blaster' would work well. I think it could replace the 'canned compressed air' for some applications, although the 'canned compressed air' produces a much stronger blast. The picture on the back of the package shows computer cleaning as another use of the product. I use it for blowing dust off of old 35 mm photographic slides and also to keep the bed of a 'flat bed scanner' clean.

That is not really what it was designed for. It is used to redirect harmful fumes from solder/desoldering in an enclosed area. A large fan might suit your needs a bit better, and less expensive.

You can't open it up and it does collect a lot of dust inside over time. I've found the easiest way to clean it is to use one of those canned air dusters and blast the dust loose through the back. Then turn the fan on high and clouds of dust will come out. Tip- do this outside or in your garage or all your furniture in the room will be covered in dust afterward.

Very easy to clean. Easiest way to clean these fans is to get a can of "Air Duster"....(You can get it anywhere.) Spray the air duster on the fan. Also, for light dusting, once a week use a Swiffer hand-duster....it's wonderful! My fans work great following these easy steps! Hope this helps. Good luck. Great fan!

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

I think it will do if you hook it with a smal tank. The air tank will give you some littles minutes of dust blowing. Keep in mind that utility use a lots of air... Depend of how long you want to blow...

I dont see why not, I use it to exhaust smoke from my single car garage and it clears it in about 2 minutes, Its mounted in the attic and wrapped with insulation, quite quiet for the size it is, it will definitely move your air and probably draw air from your house into the basement and than outside

Hi Cheryl, Yes we are currently using it for a whole house fan and it works great! Thank you!

NO. You should use a Dust Extractor vacuum designed to handle fine dust to use this product.Your regular household vacuum will burn out it's motor with continued use.Al

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

I don't know what the manufacturer recommends. I would do what I do w/my similar items. I have a small blower for my keyboard, my refrigerator coils, my TV, etc. It blows out the dust. Then I vacuum up the bits of dust that float out of the item. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.
