I need a fan to push the air conditioning of living area down a hallway to back bedrooms. Would this be an appropriate fan?

I'd say it depends on the size of the air conditioned room/area, length of the hallway, and overall layout but this fan does move a large amount of air. That said, I'd definately go with the largest Vornado your budget allows so you have the best chance of moving enough air.

Yes, it does a good job of moving air, I think it's technically not a fan, but an air mover

It is too small imo. The larger Vornado or the Lasko shop fan would work better. I have both.

Not sure...it does create air circulation when pointer up towards the ceiling, but I don.t know if it would be strong enough. Probably worth a try.

Although I have two, not sure which this is, but since I don't know the size of the living area, I'd get the biggest one available.

As long as you have a really good filter before the fan I think it would be fine. Other than a whine due to the fan blade speed the fan seems to move a fair volume of air. I use one to move air from one room to another for my wood stove. For this purpose it does very well indeed. Hope this helps.

It's a super fan and does push air very well. You'll want to use a string or short bungie to keep it pointed downward, but yes. I used this fan to cool my living room, dining room, and kitchen areas.The only downside to this fan is that it won't hold a position. The nuts on the side won't hold it, because its just that powerful. This is why I say you'll need to tie it down if you want it to blow into your basement. I just used a decent ribbon, tied it from the grating to the base, works great to dry floors in minutes that way!

The fan is not quiet, but would pull some cool air from room to room. But cool air will seek a lower section of a room, so fan should be placed low to pull cool air.

no - probably need a larger fan. We chose this model for 2 bedrooms and it works fine for them.

The fan is fairly loud, although I've never tried other boxes so wouldn't know what to compare to. If it's going to be placed in an enclosed closet or room, it might be ok. Otherwise, it really might be too loud.

It is not "the quietest" fan but does a very good job circulating air around an area. I'm not sure about the hallway though...

I think it will do fine in a room that size. Depending on the configuration, you might need a supplemental fan to circulate the heat, since the unit's fan isn't all that powerful. BTW: My unit is very quiet. It started making a bit of noise during oscillation when I put it out this year and with some investigation, I found the screws holding on the back panel needed tightening. A few minutes with a screwdriver and the heater is now wonderfully quiet again. Altogether a very satisfactory purchase.

Absolutely. This is 1 great little fan. Quiet and powerful. You may have to set it on low or med depending on how far from bed because it really blows. You will love it.

If it's a studio, yes. If it's a one bedroom, it will cool well the room it's in, and cool partially the other. It's about the same in my view. Three fan settings, each one progressively louder. So far I like mine and think it does a very good job. Third floor office, 500sf, computers buzzing and halogen lights warming. Room is hot as hades, but the unit makes it comfortable. I'd buy it again.

It should it's a powerful little fan. I place mine next to a window and it cools the room quite well.

I bought this fan and I installed it inside bed room. So I do not know if this is suit you. You may have to call manufacturer.

It depends on the size of the room, but it really should do a pretty good job, regardless. Our family room isn't connected to our central heating system so I use my 630 Mid-size Whole Room Vornado Fan to move air from the kitchen, which has a vent, into the family room, which does not. I have run it on the middle setting and find that it does a pretty good job without blowing stuff all over the place, but the distance involved is only about 10'. If I went to the highest setting, my guess is that it would circulate air in a much larger space, although there might be some noise issues in that case, and a stiff breeze near the fan. Strong little fan!

Probably couldn't hurt if you have the room, I thought about doing the same. The fan is decent for what it is, but doesn't push all that much air. You could wire both fans to operate on the same switch. I have noticed that the fan does help the performance of the unit in hot temps. Good luck dude.

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.

This is a high flow volume fan. I am using it in a warehouse setting. It is not an air conditioner and not recomended for a small spaces.
