Does it work as a fan or just the light push of air most purifiers produce? Im hoping to find a fan to cool off but also clean the air.

I do not generally use my Holmes air purifier on the 'high' setting, as I smoke and just don't like the second-hand smoke hanging in the air. When the fan is on low, it produces a nice light push of air, but when it is on high, it produces enough air to help cool off the apartment. I already had one, just purchased my second one thru Amazon - I NEVER want to be without one. The replacement filters, in my opinion are a little pricey, but I still think it is a great investment. Also, the air quality rating in my city is "C", and we live near a six-lane highway. There are several reasons I feel this air purifier is great. Oh, and by the way - visitors seldom smell the cigarette smoke, even though I smoke inside the apartment!

I have had this installed for 6 months now. It is typically used with a variable speed control in place of an on/off switch. It is an industrial strength fan. When it is running at full speed it is moving a lot of air, making it necessary to raise your voice a bit to talk over the noise. But it really airs out the room in a hurry. At low speeds, it is much quieter. The air noise is just a whisper, but there is still a noticeable hum from the motor.

I have two air purifiers in my house. The one in my family room is the Honeywell short round purifier with the replacement filter and the HEPA inside filter. It is not quiet but it does a good job of removing dog/cat/and parrot dust and dander. I only run it at night because it is loud when trying to watch tv. I have a blueair air purifier in my bedroom and that runs all the time. It is very quiet and the filter has to be replaced about every 3-6 months. It has a reminder to let you know when it is time to be replaced. Hope this helps.

It's a super fan and does push air very well. You'll want to use a string or short bungie to keep it pointed downward, but yes. I used this fan to cool my living room, dining room, and kitchen areas.The only downside to this fan is that it won't hold a position. The nuts on the side won't hold it, because its just that powerful. This is why I say you'll need to tie it down if you want it to blow into your basement. I just used a decent ribbon, tied it from the grating to the base, works great to dry floors in minutes that way!

I have it working in a 475 Sq. Ft. room, and it removes all of the dust in the air. It also reduces the dust on surface areas, but I don't think any purifier will keep surface areas completely free of dust.

The fan inside of the device pushes the air through the metal cylinder where inside it's filtered and exposed to UV light, it's safe for people and pets in the room. Mine works 24/7, it kills gems and smells, also it makes the air smell fresh, a bit like after standard UV light. The device has a switch to tune the speed of the fan, on higher speed you can hear the device better. I'm happy with mine device, it really works!

Its a fan. It circulates the air. Its not a heater, or A/C unit. It moves the room air.

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.

It is part of the purifier system. Blue light on left front of unit indicates it is on, however you will not hear the fan run just as you do not hear it until the thermostat kicks in on the heater. If you want to stricktly run it as an air circulation device (room fan) I don't think you'll have much luck. It is tied to the air purifier so may work for circulation as well. Just as a comment, I am more than happy with my unit. It works very well and is safe around my baby grandson.

I tried vacuuming the filter, dust particles were still stuck to either side of the filter. I also tried to air blow it but if you take a hand lense you'll see a whole stack of layers captured dust clung to the filter. To get pure germ- free air, healthy air , dust-free air from this fan, you need to change the filter every 45 to 90 days depending on frequency of use, the environment its operated. Remember this is not an ordinary fan which blade and fan guard accumulates dust and germs.....

I called Dyson about this (before I nearly returned it). During most warm months, you must lower it's setting to 32 deg to get cold air/airflow at all. Otherwise, It acts as an automatic heater, coming on and blowing hot air only when the temperature of the room is lower than the setting you selected. There may also be a slight delay before airflow begins as it can take a few minutes to calibrate.I was a little annoyed, I would have expected a 'just blow air' mode to act more like their other fan models.

I do not hear any significant noise from my Blueair purifier except when the fan is turned on to the highest or second highest speeds. At these speeds, you can hear the fan, but the noise is still much less than most purifiers which I have had.

I have owned mine for several years and not noticed the unit making my room warmer. Basically, it has a multi-speed fan which moves the air across the filter and out the other side of the unit. If anything, it makes the air feel a bit cooler if set on one of the higher fan speeds. I consider the air temperature change to be minimal, if at any at all.

It's a fan also. Has a washable filter built in. Easy to clean and never needs replacing. It ia also a fan. But not really a strong blower. It can rotate back and forth and it is very quite. Has a thermostate on it too.

I have a tile floor and animals so my floor tends to have some animal fur and dust however I do notice that I have to clean out the back of the fans frequently. the back of the fan is where most of the dust collects but I don't notice any dust or particles being put out more. The air from the fan feels refreshing and very clean and also cooler in comparison to the other standup fans I have. Hope that helps

This is an air purifier first and foremost. However, if the fan setting is high enough, I guess it "could" accommodate your needs, but I would not "suggest" it.

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.
