I work after business hours when the building shuts off the central air. Will this unit be able to keep my space cool even with no air?

Yes, it's very powerful and I've tried box fans and vortex fans and this is the best because you can control the speed and it rotates. Very happy with it.

Hi! This is exactly why I purchased this! I wanted to save on energy By decreasing the central air usage. In my experience, this is great for a large room or open space. It won't sub for central air on another level of the house. I have a large living-dining area that is cooked just fine with this on the highest setting on the sweeping motion. Hope this helps. Their website gives specific dimensions for cooling area....

Remember it's a "fan" not an air conditioner. Cooling is from air motion alone.

You wouldn't achieve a cooling effect if you exhausted into the space you're trying to cool, because you need to vent the hot air outside that space. You would need a separate humidifier or swamp cooler if you're trying to increase humidity.

I use it as an air purifier. I truly do not think this will help a hot room. It has lasted a long time and is pretty good as a purifier in my hall. I only used it one time as a cold air unit. To me it was a nuisance, and it would have to be right in front of you. I have an additional window a/c unit for my bedroom that works well. You can get those pretty reasonable. I honestly do not think this particular item is your answer.

I would have to say no. We bought it to place in our garage, turned office and it was too loud and can be messy. It just didn't cool nearly like they said it would. We live in the Houston area, and as you know it's very hot and humid here too. I wouldn't waste my money :)

It won't cool it down AC style but it defiantly works to cool and cycle the current air in the room.

We use it with a Dehumidifier and works fine; so if your Air Conditioner is rated for 15A outlets; and it can turn on when plugged in (Some units with digital controls remain off; others return to its last state). Also note some units keep the fan on after the compressor was shut off. If none of this is an issue for you; then it should work.

The fan is quite strong. There is also an accordion hose for both the exhaust and the cool air. Depending upon how far apart your two employees are, you could put a splitter on the cool air and give each some air. It should be adequate especially if you had the outlet overhead so the cold air "falls" on them. You also might do better by replacing the accordion tube with a smooth sided duct to reduce drag on the air.

I don't think that this A/C unit will operate this way, but I'm not 100% certain about this. I believe that the outside and inside air can't mix, but I'm a little unsure about this, since there is a filter of some sort. (Our filter light came on after a few weeks of use, by the way, but I haven't yet figured out how to change this or even if this is critical.)I think that the "fan only" mode merely draws room air through the unit without any cooling.

Not at all. First, even on high, it has almost no power. You need to be right in front of it to even know it's on. Second, in order for this fan to cool the room down, the air outside has to be much cooler than the air inside. If it's hot outside, it will merely bring that hot air in and weakly circulate it. I find this fan useful ONLY when it's cool outside--like at night.

the fan is not super strong, but you can feel it blowing if you stand in front of the unit. You will be able to direct it but it should make your entire bathroom quite warm if the door is closed. I have an energy efficient home and when the finance failed during the polar freeze last year, three of these units kept my 1500 square foot home at 70 degrees without issues. good luck.

No. This is just a fan, not an air conditioner. It blows the air that is in the room around and works the same way every other fan works.

Yes. The unit is installed in a 800 SF rental cottage. My tenant reports it does a good job cooling in +80 deg outside temps. I don't know how much the tenant uses the ventilation feature.

I'm not a heat person. The fan runs 24/7 to circulate air in my apartment. It definitely helps keep cool at night. It runs a little more noisy than others but pushes a lot of air.

Sort of. If it is placed by an open window it will draw in air that is cooled and the fan spreads the cooled air. We use ours as an humidifier, and it still cools. But remember, this is an evaporative cooler -- buy for the size of room.

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

This is very dependent upon your environment. I'm in the Philly area, have 750 uninsulated sq. ft. and it takes hours to knock the chill out of the air. On a cold day it will never warm my shop because the concrete floor just radiates cold. Would insulation help? Not really. The heater can't overcome the cold concrete. Still, I'm satisfied with this little heater. I may add another. It's a cheaper alternative than a gas heater.A smaller shop would be better. Good luck overcoming a cold concrete floor.
