Will this fan work well if we have no A/C at all? Can we open windows as a substitute for A/C to get the house cooler?

It will work to keep the air in the room a pretty constant temperature by mixing the air. It is also quite capable of moving a lot of air and will create quite a breeze in a room. The vortices created by the fan might help bring air in from the outside, but that isn;t what its designed to do. Mainlt designed to miz the air inside a room or area. Still, if you have cooler air coming in from a window, it will mix it with the warmer air in the house and help create overall cooling temp.

No fan is a substitute for air conditioning. It won't make your house colder, only more comfortable because the air is moving

We also don't have AC where we use this fan. It moves a lot of air around so you will feel cooler. You could probably put a wet sheet like material in front of it and make a sort of "swamp cooler". This fan works very well.

No.This circulator may probably make the temperature of your house homogeneous.But if you want to make your house cooler, you still need an air conditioner.

It works pretty well in a small room. It exchanges the air over a period of time. I don't think it works well when there is lots of humidity outside. This is not a high velocity fan!

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.

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.

Hi,The fan will move air quite well for a small fan/heater. However, it is really not powerful cooling fan. It is a fan heater combo that really does a great job of heating small areas like the motorhome.I have had this fan/heater for a few years now and it works very well. Jon Green

The key will likely be do you have enough ventilation...It does not include a thermostat, so something with one might be a better idea.It does have a much stronger motor than most permanently mounted fans that I've seen...

No it doesn't work like a car ac I didn't think the air was any colder I have decided to just invest in a portable ac which are priced around the same price on amazon

Yup! That's what I do (though let's not kid ourselves - it's not really air conditioning. While it's a surprisingly powerful fan, it just blows the same hot humid air, making it slightly better than just having the windows open in such a way as to channel a stream of air flow through the car.

Absolutely it can. I've had this fan for a couple of months now and it works outstanding to cool off a hot room. Granted, it's not going to cool a room off as quickly as blasting an air conditioner, but no fan could. For the price here, this is an outstanding fan. I've already purchased another one of these Lasko fans, and am planning on ordering two more soon, for every room in my home. So that should tell you something. ;-) Enjoy!

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.

We use it as a heater, but we just pulled it out to try and I wouldn't recommend to use it as a fan. A) it blower isn't strong enough in my opinion and B) the air is warm. It's a good heater but you would be better off buying a cheap fan then using this to cool yourself off.

It would move air, but what is your intent? If you use it as an exhaust fan you would have to move air from someplace else in the room (open window). If used as an intact fan, then it would make a positive pressure environment if no outside vent/window/door is open.

I have this in my garage for same purpose. It helps a little. I run if only on the hot days. U could add a thermostat control if u don't want to turn it in manually. It's like a louder faster bath exhaust fan. I had one in a workshop before to help exhaust fumes. It does a better job with the fumes than the heat. But it's just an 8" fan. A box fan or cyclone fan would move more air but this installs nicely in the wall.

No. This is just a fan, not an air conditioner. It blows the air that is in the room around and works the same way every other fan works.

I bought a cheap fan and put it in the back of the unit to circulate the air. It dropped the temp about 6%'s. I bought an USB fan with a power converter and ran the wires into the fridge between the door. http://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-Powered-Desktop-SY-ACC65055/dp/B006L6ZL8I/ref=pd_sim_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1XSBKX56VKJV58VX1VF7

It's 'just' a fan but it is an excellent fan without a cooling system. I have 2 and they really make an impact on keeping my bedroom and living room cool.

Yes, Melinda, it's a floor fan. I combine it with my window A/C and there's plenty of cool air for 2 rooms. The remote is great. A timer is on the remote. I love it! Dan
