why can't the 3000 model be used in a space smaller than 500 sq. foot

because of the quality of the unit it may produce too much ozone in a space smaller than 500 sq ft. An over abundance of ozone can lead to headaches and a cough. If you have a space that is 500 sq feet with an open door leading to a basement or to an upper level you may be okay. But if the 500 sq. ft. area is closed off it may be a concern and you will detect the stronger concentration of ozone when you walk in to the area.

I have used mine in a smaller space. For example, our dog had an accident (a smelly one) in the spare bedroom. We put the outsource in there, closed the door for 3 hours, and the poop smell was all gone. Of course, we had cleaned up the floor first. Our entire first floor space is about 850 square ft, including 2 small bedrooms. It is located on a small table which allows it is work in the living room, kitchen and at least one of the bedrooms. We have a dog and 2 cats....You would never know it. I love this thing!

This item unquestionbly works very well, but it will NOT cover 20k sq feet, or even close. You might need to look into a commercial booster or some form of splitting of the indoor antenna. I understand you can do that.

altho the unit has been a "steady eddie" it is slow and not big enough to handle my basement. If you have a large area I would get a larger model the dementions seem right in prior answer

I think it's supposed to be up to 500 sq. ft but i'm not 100% on that. I have one in the living room, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in my work room. The living room and bedroom are fairly large.

The only reason I can think of is because a corner workstation could be pretty tight space-wise. This thing is roughly 2 feet wide, and slides in and out by roughly a foot. If there's space for that, you're good.

Based on its CFM rating, the optimal capacity of space for this fan should be no larger than 3,800 square feet.

Give it time to heat the space. Make sure u have the correct dedicated amp outlet. I have a thermostat set at 55 and it works like a charm 20x20 space...

I read a review that said its best to have at least 2 sq ft of airspace inside. I would go a little bigger is space allows you to.

If you could define "small" in square feet this would be a much easier question to answer. If you live in an apartment complex or have a small condo, yes it should cool a small bedroom (200-300sqft) easily.

A handy home owner can do it, if they understand the wiring on a residential furnace. 600m should be able to handle 2500 sq ft

the manufacturer claims it is good for up to 500 sq ft. But, having owned this ac unit, I can tell you it will not cool even a small space. This unit is VERY WEAK. I do not recommend it. I used it to attempt to cool a much smaller space and it was not able to handle the job. It was only able to take about 8 degrees down from ambient temp. Not nearly good enough in 100 degree weather.

The p250 might be better suited for 250 sq ft. The unit will last longer if it doesn't have to work as hard. I would highly recommend either one of these units. Mine have been running non-stop for over a year.

Life's art probably heats more like 400 sq ft. I think 800 is overly optimistic.

the manual says 155 sq feet [link to manual, see pE-9] http://www.guardiantechnologies.com/uploads/AC4825_AC5000.pdf

I don't think it will be sufficient for such a large area, it's a very good unit for smaller indoor spaces

Hi, the instructions say 25 lbs per 1000 sq ft, so you would need 12.5 lbs for 500 sq ft.
