With the fan at full height what is the distance in inches from the floor to the bottom of the "fan cage"? I want to place in front of a window.

43.25" max, 32" minimum. The 43.25 is to the safety stop line. If you want to live dangerously you could gain another inch or two.

I'm away for a couple of weeks so can't answer your question as can't measure. I can tell you I've had no problem placing it where I want but worse case scenario is you'll need to buy an extension cord. I bought a second vu2531. Hey, they are overpriced but I love the quiet and the breeze it puts out. Honeywell also make some reasonably quiet fans and amazon has them.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

We put this exhaust fan in a bathroom with a 10'-3+- inches high ceiling and the room measures about 7 x 9 feet in plan with an entry hall that is 3 1/2 feet long. The exhaust fan comes on when you are within about 8 feet of floor distance away from the unit. Its in a corner so we approach it from the door. I hope this helps.

I have a sloped ceiling so mine averages about 29" from the ceiling to the end of the finial. You can obtain different length rods for your fan.

Not near draft or vents, about as high up as your head-maybe 5 1/2 feet high, but NOT to or at the ceiling. You want it to be where regular ambient air would be . This means where air moves only as much as any where else. Not near furnace, fireplace, or any device that draws or exhausts air. AND, you can access it, change battery, etc.. On a wall in a common place or multiple places , such as hall and a bedroom (if you want to buy more than one.

From the floor to the top of the fan is 46 inches. If you are wanting the maximum height from floor to the center of the fan, it would be approximately 3 ft.

I'm sorry I haven't measured it exactly but I can attest that I have a VERY small spot for it; I was needlessly concerned. The fan has a tiny foot print, no larger than 9" or it would be too big for the space it now occupies in my bedroom. For what it's worth, I just LOVE this thing and now my fiancé cannot sleep without it being turned on.

I installed mine in a horizontally sliding window. It's a non-std windows at 34" tall. I just turned the fan 90 degrees and installed it inside the window sill. I can still open and close the window with the fan in it and removing it is easy with the storm guard. My standard windows are 39" tall so you would need to shim this fan with a 2" block of wood on the bottom. The storm guard extension actually extend to about 37 inches. Or you could get the Air King 20" window fan (also avail on Amazon) which should fit a 38-43" inch tall horizontally sliding window (if the 16" Lasko, which is made by Air King is any guide to the max extensions on the storm guard). Here's a pic: http://bit.ly/1hxnzGk Note the window being closed to the left edge of the fan. There's a very small gap there. I used some foam to fill it, but then discovered it wasn't really needed. For a 2100 sq ft house, medium speed (which is fairly quiet) is plenty to bring in cool night air.

With the pleated section and expansion panel removed, the fan measures 24" wide. You will need to get past the 23" wide inner dimension of your window. Perhaps you can angle it in one side first then square it up, but I doubt it since your depth is so shallow. If you are desperate to get a fan to fit, you could cut away 1/2" of the main housing on each side with a hacksaw. I hope this helps.

My husband said 18 inches...he actually cut them so they would not hang as low as they were. Fans still working great!!

Pole measures 33 inches to the floor with two areas where the pole is screwed in. The cover measures approximately 18 inches. I hope this answers your questions. It is a sturdy, light-weight & beautiful fan! I love it - had mine for many years!

I'm not sure about yours, but our ceilings are about 19 ft high where the fans are installed. We had to buy a long down rod to use them. We also had to use scaffolding to get them installed. It was a big pain to replace the ones that we've had for a long time, but it would have been the same with any fans. I LOVE these fans. So much so that we also replaced the one at our lake cabin with one.

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!

Measuring from the base of the fan to the highest point, I'm getting thirty nine & one half inches of height. Hope this helps. Great, stylish fan!!!

I was wondering that, too, Blake. It seems that horizontal window fans are difficult to find. Is that because it's best if you can block off the rest of the window? Anyway, I am going to order the fan for the convenience of having a remote control and the reverse capable fans. I'll tape it in, if nothing else! :) I will post a review after I have used it. Another poster wrote:on May 3, 2011 6:26:01 PM PDT (regarding using the fan in the vertical position): TheyCallMeMcGyver says: Nothing says that it can, but I just bought one and I did just that, ie installed it vertically in a window opening 21" wide x 24" high. This meant the unit fit quite snugly from top to bottom, but there is a fair amount of "open" space on the sides. For my installation the open space on the sides isn't an issue. I wasn't trying to block in the entire window opening. I just needed to put something in the opening to move the air in/out. The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the temp display is now sideways.
