We have terrible dust problems in west Texas. Can this fan be opened easily and cleaned?

Yes, there are screws on the backside of the fan that you can unscrew and open.

If you have a source of compressed air you can blow it clean. It's not really made to be taken apart and wiped clean.

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

No, you can not disassemble the fan to clean easily. That is, you'll have to unscrew six screws in back of the fan, and that only allows you to clean the back of the fan. Unfortunately, you'll need to dust clean your fan daily, to avoid any clutter. Other than that, the fan works great.

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!

Hi, I don't think it is more difficult to clean than any other brand. The dust is really no big deal. My issues with it are the cost, since I am not so sure we needed to spend so much on a humidifier. Also the settings are tough to manipulate, I think. I set it to 90 percent humidity, and it goes settles on 60 and stays there. So I am not so sure the controls really mean anything. Otherwise it's doing the job.

We do not have carpet were the fan is being used but there is some dust on the ceiling fan that we need to clean off now and then. Not sure if it's extra dust kicked up from the tower fan or not. We did buy an electric air purifier that we turn on once in a while. I guess it could be the reason for the dust but the fan isn't causing alarming amounts of it. Not sure if this really answers your question. Sorry.

I think the air pump at a gas station would also work. This time I am going to spray it with vegetable non stick and see if the dust comes off easier. On my larger fan I left the screws out and put the fan back together with bread twistys. That makes taking it apart quicker.

it is easy to clean, everything about the fan is great, but it is a little loud

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.

Hello.If the area is small (below 40sqf) or not too dirty we do not sweep firstSo far this item is working OK with the dusty areas

The upper cylinder comes apart and we've used bottle brushes and/or an air compressor outside as the dust is bound to fly. If you have a small hand you could probably reach in there, but the area vacuum cleaner company will do it as well for a fee. Not the most pleasant job, but my husband takes it on as a challenge every few months.

Yes. Unless you fill the cans with dust. It's like regular air but more expensive and in a can!

No. I haven't had any problems like that. Its easy to clean if it does get dusty.

I dont care for mine and will be replacing it. The sensor works poorly and it doesn't move much air. I have it installed in a small bathroom and still have to clean mildew off the walls and ceiling because it works so poorly. I would not recomend this product. I'm sure you can get a much better fan for the money.

I take mine out into the back yard and shake it off. After the first time of getting a face full of dust, I make sure I know which way the wind is blowing. I live in East Texas where it is pretty windy, so it's easy to tell. Another thing that works great for me is I have a little shop vac and I vacuum the dust mop with it when it gets too full! Hope this helps!

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