I see that this fan can be tilted. Can it be tilted DOWN? I need to place it on a high shelf, and want it to blow air downwards into the room.

Yes, it can can be tilted down. I´m sure it will blow enough. I have bought 2 of these and work perfectly (i bought one of them since 2009¡¡)

It can be pointed down to some extent, but there's much more range of motion up & over.

Yes it can be tilted down. It actually can be spun down so the fan is "closed" hiding the blades in the unit.

I'm sorry but I didnt try mounting it horizontally and it's now in a position which makes it difficult for me to remove. However, I don't see why it would not work mounted horizontally since I have other brands of computer fans that are mounted horizontally and blowing upwards.

@Jim J., yes it does tilt/swivel down as well as up. Once you get the downwards or upwards tilt to your liking, you can 'fix' it in that position by tightening the knobs on the sides, for a secure placement. Just fyi, for the amount of air that the fan pushes out, the noise level is minimal as well. Hope this answers your question.

If you are looking for it to blow out straight from the wall no it can't. The fan can only be rotated left to right.

sorry for the late response. The fan doesn't tilt all the way down, but if the fan is placed on a night stand or dresser, the air does hit the ground. Hope this helps

It can tilt up and down, not up by a ton but probably 35 degrees or so. It can swing all the way down. It is a commercial fan, I haven't had it that long but it is heavy and well built. I bought it for my son at college. He adores it and on high speed it is almost like a wind tunnel. He gives it 5 stars.

No the fan does not rotate and it is not made to be faced directly on you. It is designed to move the air in the room and it does exactly that. It cools down a room fairly quick and you will know when you turn it off.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

The answer is Yes. This fan will rotate 360 degrees, and tighten to any position in that rotation that you desire. It will remain in that position, as it has a lever on each side of the fan head that are used to tighten the fan head to whatever position desired. It's a great fan. It blows a lot of air. It seems to be very well made. It's slightly noisy as a result of the blowing air volume, not the fan parts.

No, it cannot be tilted downward when sitting on a dresser, though I wish it could. That being said, it is a great little fan for the price and there are four tilt options. Mounting holes are provided on the base so you can install it on a wall (or other solid/secure vertical surface) and have it blow downward.

When you extend the fan, it will pull all the way off of the base and you can then turn the base around and put the fan back on it so that the base is facing the other direction. So, in a word, yes!

If one were to place it on a wall with the back to the wall, the fan would have no way to pull air into it. In theory, you could mount the bottom on a wall and blow air sideways, but you'd have no way to aim it. If you need this feature, I suggest the Holmes model HAOF90-UC.

It didn't tilt down much. You could prop it downward by putting under the back, like a 1/2 inch (or so) book. Not the best, but maybe it can meet your needs. When I looked a desk fans I recall that the range of tilting was not great; I use a 1/2" stick to elevate the one I now have.

Hi there,Thanks for the question. This fan is a "flushmount only" fan. That means it cannot be installed with a downrod of any kind, and must be flushmounted to the ceiling. We hope this helps!If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome reps. Not only do they know everything, they'll also be able to give you the best price over the phone. Oh, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

In order to mount to the wall, you have to tilt the fan certain ways then use 2 nails, which were provided in the package. Every time I tilt the fan, it stopped working. If I tilt it back, as if it was going to be sit on the surface, it started to work again. So it cannot be mounted.

Well, it can't swivel or rotate on its own (i.e., it is not an oscillating fan), if that's what you mean. You just point it where you want it to blow air and it stays put until you adjust it manually.
