Does this work only on stationary horizontal vents, or can it be used on those that can be flipped up and down which direct the air flow?

They work well on the horizontal ones that flip up and down. You'll need to just flip them all the way up, and make sure the bracket clamp openings grab from below. I hope that makes sense. Just know that this will reduce some of the air flow and will make the vent unable to be closed completely.

suggest you don't buy this good, it doesnot work well . It can't hold you phone stable when you drive your car on uneven road.

Yes, it works well on the moveable vents on both my Chevy Impala and Silverado!

I'll chime in on this too, you can use it on any type of vent. Once installed on any vent the vent louvers themselves will be weighted-down by the device as well as the phone so vertical adjustment is lost.I installed mine on the next to last louver to the bottom and the support leg on the back actually rests against the face of the dash; I added a small bit of foam to the support leg so it wouldn't scratch the finish of the dash. Putting the device on the bottom louver allows the vent to be open as much as possible, any higher and the louvers would be shut to the point that there was little air flow.

It can be used with the vents that are adjustable as you mentioned.Mine flip up and down and it works fine.

It will fit and work on both, but it will make aim-able vents stationary. Depending on the type of vent, you can usually still use the horizontal aim control, but the vertical will be fixed.

My vehicle vents have up and down movement as well as side directional positions but once the unit is installedthe up and down movement is eliminated to make the Grip iT stable. Have been very pleased with the Grip And the Bracketron Company is very helpful, if you have a question about installation or any needed parts.

You can use it on the ones that move to direct the air flow and the extra leg will help stabilize it, it won't be as stable and you may not be able to adjust the vents because of the new weight though. I've been using it on my movable vents with no problems.

It will work on any configuration. If you look at the back view, the two top arms actually pivot to hook around the vent fins. The Main body is on a screw-down ball mount for horizontal or vertical orientation.It's actually easier to do than describe.I hope this helps.

No, It only can blow air in one direction. Bringing air in, or out. You have to remove the fan from the window, and turn it around to perform each function.

While it'll work in a horizontal position, I'd expect some lint to gradually accumulate on whatever surface is on the bottom. This could make it harder to move the flap between indoor and outdoor positions. I'd check it periodically, especially in the warmer weather. My guess is you're unlikely to spend much more than 5 minutes a year on this task. While setting the unit on it's back so it blew air upwards would solve this problem I don't think I'd want to be blowing lots of moist hot air against the wall, and that position would make it tougher to see the screen.

It goes straight up but I often redirect it with a piece of cardboard (i.e. Fedex envelope) taped to the back or side. The tape is a hinge and the cardboard lies flat like a flap over the vent when the unit is off (which helps protect it from dust). Once on, the outgoing air lifts the cardboard to a 45 degree angle and the warm air gets redirected. I use this air to dry clothes, dishes, etc.

It is kind of an odd air circulator. It draws air in through the front and out the top. I got mine because my wood stove has made my house dusty but it also draws the cooler air from the floor and circulates the warm air up near the ceiling. I imagine you could lay it on its back to direct the air flow. It is also designed to be hung on the wall upside-down which is great for filtering the air in smoky rooms.

I am pretty sure according to the installation instructions this is to ONLY be installed in a horizontal position. We have it installed on our electric dryer exhaust and it works wonderfully. Occasionally you may need to removed your duct collar and clean lint off the spring and seal, but works well.

Yes - horizontal placement won't make any difference. The vent flap has a little "click" to hold it open so it doesn't matter. Wonderful product!

I am truly sorry. But i only have horizontal vents also. I also use a window mount.

It is stationary, you have to lock it into place. But, as others have said once you clip it onto something, you can then adjust the direction of fan and also the angle of it. So you can almost use it anywhere. I have mine upside down and hanging from the top of my computer hutch, and angled going into my gaming computer to keep my system cool. It does have 2 speeds, low and high. I have had mine on high (and left on) for almost 3 months now. I never turn it off. I love this little fan.

Yes. It has two directional grates for air flow that can be adjusted in any direction. You could aim them both to the right if you want to.

hi, lorainia: i have 3 of these fans for my a/c floor vents in my bedrooms. yes, the fan tilts 1 click position downward. it also has 4 click positions upward with the last position being straight up. also, since i used these on the carpeted floor, i put the base out behind the fan and let the round fan casing rest directly on the carpet. for bedroom use, i always use the slowest and quietest speed. also, yes, it will stay in any position you choose.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

This humidifier works by evaporating water as it runs down a spongy panel. If the unit were horizontal, gravity wouldn't pull the water down along the panel and into the drain, so it seems pretty clear to me that it couldn't be used on the horizontal.

If I recall there is a flap that opens with the force of the blowing air, however I can't see why it wouldn't work. I would suggest mounting it as high up as possible to allow the sensor to start the fan soon enough to do a good job.

There aren't any "vents" per-say, you can direct the air flow left to right via "finns" controlled by a tab above the discharge port. It works well enough.

Yes it works in ether direction. I work in hvac and use it daily to remove and reinstall screws in hard to reach places. Don't know what I ever did without it!

I only have floor vents, I would imagine it depends on the size of your wall vents. They work great though!
