Can this fan be used in a kitchen?

I don't know what your local building codes are but I would think if they allow it, it would work. It is very quiet and works very well to remove humidity from the bathroom. I would think it would work for kitchen as well.

Should be able to use in a kitchen as long as you have somewhere for the exhaust to exit the building. I am however not sure if there is a code or specification that needs to be followed for kitchen use.

Hi Bill, unless you are expelling steam, as the unit is designed, at the recommended square footage, I couldn't say.

I don't see why not...... as long as there is a filtration infront of the fan.....

I bought this fan and I installed it inside bed room. So I do not know if this is suit you. You may have to call manufacturer.

I don't think it would be a good idea. Although the possibility is there, this is more a portable unit. There cooling fan that needs to be able to cool. I have mine on a stainless steel work table. I could see more than one on a "cooking bar" depending on the size of your kitchen. Keep in mind I got mine to be able to take where I need it, out in the grill area, in the boat galley, camping etc.

I am no contractor, but I guess it it would would work for kitchen use. Although not sure if that is what it was intended for. It is a flush mount ceiling exhaust fan and you will need to run duct work to it.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

I imagine one could use this fan as an exhaust fan for a bathroom but I wouldn't recommend it... it won't meet code and could pose a hazard as it is not grounded. A typical bathroom exhaust fan is about 50-140 CFM, this fan operates at 110 CFM. Also I don't know how well the fans electronics would stand up to the moist air if the said room has a shower or bath.

I'm using my fans in a similar situation and they work great. My set up is off grid so these fans are perfect for venting kitchens and bathrooms.

"Ideal" ? Probably not. How much air do you need to move? That is your question. I believe this fan was designed and sized for Kitchen service and it does a good job for that. However you need a better handle on your airflow requirements. I suspect you need a larger more utilitarian fan. You also may not need a finished decorator faceplate for utility service. This is more important if in a hot climate (outside heat-gain), welding or expect engine exhaust fumes. "

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

As long as you have a really good filter before the fan I think it would be fine. Other than a whine due to the fan blade speed the fan seems to move a fair volume of air. I use one to move air from one room to another for my wood stove. For this purpose it does very well indeed. Hope this helps.

I don't know. The fan stopped working soon after I bought it. I wouldn't recommend it.

Personally i wouldn't as it was designed for countertop use. It has vents on the back side and a fan on the bottom. The unit will overheat if constricted.

I have absolutely no idea... I saw my 3 fans in the Hunter catalogue and ordered them from Amazon. My electrician installed them. This particular fan is in my kitchen, because my remodel in the spring will have a lot of nickel incorporated in the design. I've found it to be a powerful fan and I bought it with the kitchen renovation in mind.... I'm normally not into things contemporary. Another reason I purchased this fan is because the older fan required getting on a step stool, reaching into the bowl and changing the lights... These hang down.

This is a through the ceiling fan. I could not imagine trying to configure the duct work to go out through a wall... I would not encourage use in a kitchen over a stove either, too much grease for this beast.

Yes, you can use it as a fan only if you wish however its not a very powerful fan.

I think the mfg. could answer that question better than me, but I have it in a large open kitchen and it works great. The cage around the fan blades vibrate a little. Just tighten the nuts well. I just read the rest of the comments. It wasn't that hard to line up. Actually, we re-mounted the fan when we repainted the kitchen and had no problem. My kitchen is 12X20 with the 20' open to the great room. The fan does a very nice job to keep the air moving and the oscillating feature and remote are great.

Yes JP it can, but you might want to put a light weight of some kind ,ie: a heavy book, on it's base to keep it steady on higher speeds. The fan is relatively light weight and can be a bit tippy sometimes. I hope this answers your question sufficiently. I am overall very pleased with both of my fans.
