Is this fan powerful enough to be used to dry out wet sheet rock and carpet in the corner of a bedroom?

Not in my opinion. It does not have a strong forced blowing fan. It is more like a small space heater. Wet sheet rock (ruined) would need a good forced air heater like to a propane heater (torpedo style). I have yet to find an electric heater that produces a good amount of forced air.

We use them in bedrooms in a ranch house, and they work great .... Don't know about the sheet rock / carpet question...

I think it would be fine for a small rug. I only use it to clean a bedroom carpet and it works pretty well. My carpet will usually dry in less than four hours. It is not as powerful as my first carpet cleaner, but overall, I am pleased with it's performance. I do miss the hand held attachment for concentrating on some stains instead of the ole' soap and a scrub brush routine, but it works.

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.

Yes, it sure can! Mine puts out a lot of mist. I keep tank full & air is cooler. Love this fan!

Yes! This fan moves a ton of air! We have it in our living room and hardly ever turn it on high. Slow or medium usually cools the room down nicely.

Absolutely it can. I've had this fan for a couple of months now and it works outstanding to cool off a hot room. Granted, it's not going to cool a room off as quickly as blasting an air conditioner, but no fan could. For the price here, this is an outstanding fan. I've already purchased another one of these Lasko fans, and am planning on ordering two more soon, for every room in my home. So that should tell you something. ;-) Enjoy!

I Think So... I've been using this fan in my bedroom and it works pretty good but a window fan is better. it circulates the air better plus it feels cooler. (P.S. I've Used only the regular fan on this, not the humidifier. Thanks for your question.

Fan can be used alone. Not very powerful, but will dry nails in reasonable amount of time.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

The fan is not waterproof. So I would not do that unless you take it down for rainy days.

NO! I have installed this one in my shower room and after a while it produced weird loud noise that nothing could get rid off. So I think its not a proper fan for this type of use.

I have dryed sheets on it. However, when I dry anything on it I add a fan to help speed up the process.

I think it is fine. I use it to Dry Leather Gloves and Shoes. The Air is Just Warm Not Hot. So it Dries Very Slow. I Love it. I Used it all Winter and Every Week. My son is a Fireman and Brings Home his Wet Gloves and Shoes and works Great. Yes There is a Switch to Turn Off the Heat and Just Use the Fan.I Hope this answers Your Question.

Yes. But make sure you wring out as much water as possible and hang it up on a clothes hanger. Place the hanger where air can circulate around it overnight . It wouldn't hurt to use a portable hair dryer on it to remove the excess moisture.

It is powerful so it may work as a floor fan. I have it on top of chest of drawers and it is probably to big for that but I make it work.

Yes. I use one in the bathroom but I also use a fan during the shower. It takes time to work but it does remove a lot of moisture from the air.

I wouldn't as it leaves quite a bit of wetness behind and has scrubbing brushes that could damage the surface. Works well with carpet since you can go back over several times to suck up the water, but you still must let carpet dry for a few hours.
