I need the fun to suck air in, rather than pushing it. I assume I can't do this because it is not possible to reverse the polarity,right?

flip the fan over -- the fan doesn't know the difference. It exhausts air or evacuates (sucks) depending upon how it's installed.

It depends how you you mount it. There is an arrow to tell you which way the air is flowing so you should be able to rotate it to the direction desired. I needed it to suck and was mounting it inside a box followed the arrow and it worked wonderfully.

Not really. I also inflate it with a few puffs and then adjust it to my desired level.

Hi Offey, thank you for asking. The fan currently blows away from the metal frame but you can switch it's airflow direction using a screwdriver. So yes! you can them in a push pull configuration. From Jeremy, AC Infinity Inc.

No, it doesn't have that option. You can use fan mode but it doesn't bring in outside air.

There's a dial to turn either clockwise or counterclockwise--inflate or deflate. The instructions are clear as to this. The only thing to disconnect is the cord from the electric socket in the wall. Then stuff the cord back into the little holder for it.

Yes you can, very simply. All you do is twist one way to increase pressure and twist the other way (as if to turn it off) to decrease the pressure. A simple system that works great.

Yes you can. Reaches down almost all the way, and then you can turn it the other way and reach from a different direction. It's great!

Yes I suppose you can but it's not suppose to. It's difficult to push and makes a clicking noise.

No way to control the discharge direction. Try using it to go all one direction if you can. This is when that high school geometry that we all didn't need helps some.lol

You could but it's not recommended. The air does not pull as well from long distance

Unfortunately no, you still have to use the switch on the fan housing to go from forward to reverse. I found this to be a small inconvenience.

I do not see any way to reverse the air flow itself. It has rudimentary controls i.e. a dial which will activate the fan to turn on or off when it detects it is warmer or cooler air to circulate the air upward. The register fits into an opening (a standard air register hole), so which ever way the register is facing is the direction the air will be directed.

When you plug it in you can tell which way the airflow, and is it is reverseable so however you want it to blow it does both.

Be sure to pull the inflation stem all the way out to inflate otherwise you're wasting your breath. (I'm assuming that you can't get any air into it.)

Yes, you do have to apply some pressure though not a lot. You could probably do it with the opposite arm. Hope this helps.

I don't think you can since no ground implies no neutral. You need the neutral.

This is an 120VAC alternating current fan. There is no way to reverse the polarity because it doesn't have a polarity. It's AC. You could reverse polarity (and direction) on a DC (direct current fan) but not on an AC motor/fan. As far as slowing the fan down, you could probably apply some sort of SCR or Resistor voltage control in-line with the fan however, the fan may or may not be happy with decreased voltage and could possible fail. It was designed as a one-speed fan. I would look for a fan that had capability of reversal & speed control built-in by design if I was to pursue your fan dream. Good Luck, Ed/Central California
