Does this fan have air blowing out the front or is it basically more sideways? I'm just wondering because of the way the front grill looks. I'm hoping to put this at the foot of the bed while I sleep and need it to blow on me and not so much blow air out to the sides. I've read some reviews that claim it doesn't blow on you directly and they were disappointed in that. Does this fan have air blowing out the front or is it basically more sideways?

Yes it blows straight as it rotates and you can have different settings so it doesn't blow on you all the time only as it rotates. We like this fan as does our son at his home. You would need to place it on a table or stool. We have ours on a square stool with gripper material and it s fine. Hope this helps.

Hi. The light grey grate turns as do the blades so the air doesn't blow only directly. I love this fan. It's quiet and in a medium size room does a great job.

Its a fan man lol. Has 3 settings to blow. If you want it to suck I suppose you can just turn it around to face the other way.

I've had mine for about 6 months. The 2 fans blow directly up onto laptop and you can feel, depending on speed, the air dispersed to sides. Blue lights are quite bright. The remind me of the underlights on cars these days. ; p I keep mine on low speed and adjust the height/ angle on the very 1st "rung". I don't game but I do turn it up when grandchildren come over and use it. I have a Presario notebook. It does get very warm which is why I purchased this. If it did breakdown I would get another just like it in a flat second. Cleaning?. I havent tried to take it apart. I blow it out while running on low with canned air. Hope this helps.

Only comes out on one side. I would look at another BBQ. If the wind is blowing, even a little it goes out. A huge problem.

Probably- 6 screws around the rim of the grill plate attach it to the frame, so it appears "Yes", if you must- But I'm never going to bother trying. PS- I *LOVE* this fan! Low/Med/High really are entirely different settings, & even "Low" completely turns over the air on entire 1st floor (~900 sq. ft.) in seconds! BEST window fan I've ever owned! E-reverse/exhaust is SO easy. I can understand that the noise bothers some-"White noise" = steady / smooth / continuous hum(24/7), with NO sudden jarring "bumps" in the sound, to disturb. Doesn't bother me, I LIKE it! But, beware- If you cannot tolerate a steady low hum, this fan may be too loud for you.

Hi Christopher, I rarely write a review for any product but felt compelled to write one for this particular fan. I installed it in my master bedroom and while I love the look of the fan...........I cannot recommend this fan for function. My fan is mounted directly over my bed and at full speed I really can't feel much air flow. At lower speeds it make enough clicking and other noises it will keep me awake. When I am finished with my current home remodels I will be replacing this fan ASAP. Sorry for the bad report.

it's only a fan. It will blow whatever temperature air from the area you place it in. The movement of air will feel cooler then stationary air.

It doesn't blow cool air. It is like a fan and just blows the surrounding air.

I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well.

It doesn't really cool it down per se, but it moves the air. I like mine and especially like the hum. I'm one of those that needs a little noise to sleep. Lol

The only hot part is the hot air blown by the fan at the bottom. I haven't actually touched the fan while it's on, but the air coming out is hot/warm. I have two cats and my cats are completely safe around this. They love to sleep on top of it or on pillows right in front.

Yes air blows out of the whole louvre section...Best fan I have ever owned. Quiet, great for sleeping and love the fact the air is spread over such a tall area.

The back, top, and sides stay cool but the hot air coming out of the front is quite hot. Once you shut it off the plastic grills on the front stay hot for a while.

Oh yes. This fan circulates air both directions and has a strong motor. Mine is totally silent and moves a lot of air. I'm very happy with it. The dogs fight over that particular corner of the bed every night. :) They are very pleased. You can add a light kit; the connections are built in. This particular fan does not include a light kit. Just be sure your old light kit mounts via a threaded pipe instead of a cap over an open end on the fan control cap. After all, if your fan dies but the light still works fine, why buy both?

I use it 4-1/2 feet from my bed on low speed, because it's too noisy on high. In that position, I can't feel the air blowing directly, but it seems to circulate enough to make a small room feel a little cooler. It doesn't even rustle papers at low speed and the motor does appear to go through power cycles. I don't leave it running when I'm not home!!! I didn't expect it to still be running this long... into the 2nd summer! Willing to spend more money next time I buy a fan.

Sounds like it might be commerical Frig. ALL Frigs have fans, but not high spped. My no-profession opinion is Place It Somewhere It Is Not In Direct air blowing from the fan if you can. Blowing air over something usually has a cooling effect. This unit has very good accuracy specs.
