The fan runs at 85. My question: Is the thermostat adjustable. In Key West, 85 is not hot,I would like to set it at 95 to 100?

no, it's not adjustable. I used it without the thermostat, so that when the sun is shining,the fan is running.

The thermostat is not adjustable. However, just remember that it will ONLY run if BOTH the sun is shining on the panel AND it is 85 degrees or more. I believe that you can get other thermostats for different settings although I haven't looked for them. I simply disconnect the wires when I don't want the fan to run since the solar panel is easily accessible to me.

The answer is no. I purchased a separate thermostat from Tek Supply and put in place the original thermostat. It cost about $35.00.

The box attached to the cable has a thermostat in it that you set to the desired temperature for the fan to come on....There is a wide range of settings 70's to way over 110. It is very easy to set. The dial is on the outside of the box. You can almost see it in the picture.

I am not sure about how much it cools the room down in regards to degrees, but I love this fan. I live in a place that is very hot and humid. The cost for electricity is very expensive. I do not use my AC most of the time. I use this fan and it really helps. I turn on the AC for an hour before I go to bed and then just use the fan and am able to sleep comfortably. Living in a tropical island can be very hot at times and I am happy I purchased this item. I wish I had a couple more.

Hello again...I had mentioned I just had one setting for the air flow on the 10" but it appears a remote was to come with it to adjust the setting. Either the remote wasn't in the box or I threw it away without noticing it. Sorry if I misled you. You'll love the fan. It's so nice, neat, and clean!

The thermostat turns the unit off when the temperature drops below 70F. You would need to decide whether you want the fan to operate in temperatures below 70F (example: sunny day with temperatures in the 50s or 60s)

This unit has a thermostat for the 59°-86° range. If you set the thermostat to only 60 degrees, the unit will not blow warm air. if the room temp is already higher than the 60 degrees. Might want to set it initially for 86 degrees. The Unit will take several minutes the first time you use it. Then try setting it for mid-70 or higher. Good luck.

The "low heat" setting limits the unit to a maximum of 750 watts and the "High heat" setting to 1500 watts. The unit has a thermostat that allows you to set the desired room temperature and regardless of which heat setting is selected it will alter the amount of heat being produced and fan speed to achieve the set desired temperature.

There is a thermostat in this product wich turns the fan on and off at certain temps. I did purchase several with different temp on / off ratings to see how they worked. The factory thermostat has best on/off rating. I think it is 160 on 120 off. I took out the thermostat and typed in the #'s and found a lot of thermostats.

BT, this solar fan, because it has a thermostat that opens @ 85F would only circulate hot, humid air. If you are looking to circulate air @ lower temps., you would most likely need a fan that was ac elect. and controlled manually with a switch. I suppose you could remove the thermostat and the fan would operate whenever there was enough sun for it to run.

I love this fan, upright is perfect for out sliding door to bring in the breeze...but the oscillating is automatic, about 110 degree, not quite 180 degrees...but we've had it for about 2 years and still love

Works great! Mine (120's) are on 24/7 and they are so low wattage it may cost me $5.00 a month if that to run them. I have had mine running for about a year now and their still going strong. The plug / Speed Control actually controls 2 fans even though each 1 comes with the plug. I have mine set up in my closed glass door entertainment center where my 1,000 watt receiver surround sound, cable box, x-box, CD player, etc. are located. I put one at the back bottom blowing in and one at the top blowing out. I have displaced 25 to 30 degrees of heat. It would get to 120 - 125 degrees inside before, and now the hottest I have measured is around 90 - 95 degrees. Will surely help the life span of your equipment and well worth the little additional cost for the electricity.

I have found the fan vey quiet and the wood frame is very attractive. However, I am having a problem with the thermostat working correctly. However, I have been remiss and have not followed up on my question soon enough.

Norm, did you find a thermostat that can offer what you were looking for? I'm looking for the same thing, 77 in the summer and 68 in the winter. I haven't seen one yet that can allow 4 daily temperature changes while maintaining seperate profiles for summer and winter

The thermostat goes up to 80 degrees. My suggestion is to go with something larger for that high of a temp.

I returned it and got a on / off and leave fan on high. You do seldom adjust speed so did the same thing for all other fans in house and am totally satisfied with the solution.

While running on the automatic thermostat feature, does the fan stay running constantly? Will it shut itself off at a time setting? Can you set it shut itself off after four hours of run time?
