Does this push air hard enough to be used as a desk fan also?

Yes, as long as you don't expect it to blow your hair back. It is also pretty quiet.

Well, on low- medium it runs not that loudly but I personally wouldn't like it right near my face ( noisewise) while on High. Bear in mind..... The first couple of days there is a slight metalic odor ( New paint? The charcoal/Hepa filter?) but it lessens as you use it.

All GermGuardian Air Purifiers intake air in the air and blow it out on the right side to create a circular rotation of air around the room. It does a great job in purifying the air in a small office or bathroom. I just sat in front of this GermGuardian Air Purifier with the right side facing me and on the highest setting. Bear in mind, I like a cool, powerful fan as I am hot natured, and I do not believe that this air purifier could also be used as an efficient desk fan.

Yes it does. The fan will not work unless it is on a solid surface because of a button on the bottom.

No it's not. This fan really moves a lot of air when place in the right place

Yes, this desk fan can cool a cubicle very quickly, and a small office in a short amount of time. I normally face it so that it isn't blowing on me directly as it produces a bit of air for such a small fan.

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 an 8" fan and it works fine. I'd have to check the maximum air movement, but I'm almost sure it exceeds 265 cfm.

I don not think so; The fan appears to run harder. I feel the air more on the side. I have 2 and I guess I just notice the warm air more with the pad.

Yes! This fan moves a ton of air! We have it in our living room and hardly ever turn it on high. Slow or medium usually cools the room down nicely.

It is not a very loud fan and does not have the same "whirring" sound as a regular desk fan. It is a bit quieter, but still makes noise. If your intent is for the same sound it probably will not sooth you.

Yes, this fan moves a LOT of air. I am very pleased with this fan. I have it on my patio, and it helps a lot here in Florida. I would highly recommend this fan.

Yes, the way the motors are oriented allows for airflow out toward the walls of the room as opposed to directly down like a standard ceiling fan. Thank you, Michael H. Dan's Fan City

Hot air out....I put this fan in a cabinet that has a SFF HP PC in it, that would get super hot and the PC's fans would constantly blow on high speed and make lots of noise....but once installing the fan the have not kicked into overdrive once and the cabinet is now cool enough that I put some backup hard drives and a couple iPods in there to charge. This little fan rocks.

Hello! The fan blows a strong amount of air but will only be as cool as your AC setting allows. Hope this information is helpful!

Yes. It has a great design. I have used other fans and was always concerned with blocking the airflow. This design is much better and has a soft cushion on the bottom for resting on your lap. I use it non stop, over 8 hours a day while I run my home business on my computer.

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.

It is powerful so it may work as a floor fan. I have it on top of chest of drawers and it is probably to big for that but I make it work.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.
