how can I clean the fan that blows out the filtered air? My fan is very dusty.

I just mailed mine back to manufacturer. They are replacing my motor and hopefully cleaning it. I don't know if you've called them but they have excellent customer support. That's where I would start.

The manufacturers recommend vacuuming the exterior regularly to keep it clean. I'm not sure that answers your question, but hopefully it does!

Inside or outside? I have some dust inside that I really don't how to clean! Any ideas?

You will have to take off the circular top where the air comes out to expose the fan blades, clean them with q-tips of other small cleaning instrument, then clean wipe the top "loop amplifier" with a dry or damp cloth.

Not sure what you mean by open and clean. I live in Texas and the dust here is HORRIBLE! I just take it outside, spray it with a hose being careful to not get too much water in the motor and let it completely dry. Easier than taking other fans apart.

I don't know about cleaning, but I do know...that I really like the fan. It produces a lot of air or less if that's what you want. I use it now at night blowing directly on me in bed. I live in Florida and don't use A/C so I REALLY like good fans. This is my second one. The little one is not effective.

I honestly do not know. I use a Frebreeze feather-type cleaning cloth to remove the dust particles located on the front of the unit.

I use cans of air...air dusters, they are called. My fan has screws to take the back off...check again. But i do the air thing at mid summer, end of summer and end of spring. plus there are swiffer dusters that you can use by hand as well.

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.

Unscrew the black screen and take the filter out. I put t over a bin and smack it a bit then brushed it with a dust cloth.

I used an air compressor with an air nozzle and sprayed it in the front across the fan blades or squirrel cage as I call it to clean it. One might could use a can of compressed air you can buy at walmart or staples and other places. Hope that helped!

Canned compressed air and a brush with long bristles will work, like a dustpan brush. They also make a similar model fan where you can remove the housing. I bought this model because it was so cheap.

I dont take mine apart. Rather, I use a duster to dust the inside of the fan.

I'm not sure. I would tap the filter on the floor to get off as much dust as possible then brush it off maybe with an old tooth brush or stiff paint brush. let it dry and then brush and tap more.

probably the mini fan from the back of the system is full of dust, dust it off with a vacuum hose very carefully it might work. good luck.
