will it actually cool 500 sq feet or only if it blows in your direction

we use the 36" portacool at work here in colorado, and yes it will actually cool the 500sq foot it states. it feels good to sit in front of, but it will cool the entire area. we use ours in a 10 bay shop and obviously its cooler in the direction it points, but after an hour the entire shop has cooled down. best result to put it by an open window, and crack another window on the other side of the room.

the fan is not super strong, but you can feel it blowing if you stand in front of the unit. You will be able to direct it but it should make your entire bathroom quite warm if the door is closed. I have an energy efficient home and when the finance failed during the polar freeze last year, three of these units kept my 1500 square foot home at 70 degrees without issues. good luck.

We use ours to heat a 500 sq ft space and it does the job. Hope this helps.

Don't expect it to cool a large area such as a warehouse but rather works well for directing cool air towards the workers. Great for hot dry environments and will relieve some of the expense associated with built-in cooling systems.

no it's not that powerful. it doesn't cool a room that great. It will cool you if you are directly i front of it

My bedroom is over 300 sq feet, and it cools that pretty well. If you follow the suggestions I made in my review, you can probably cool 300 sq feet with it, depending on how cool you need it of course.

It depends on the size of the area. You can stick a pc fan on it to keep it cool.

Hello! The fan blows a strong amount of air but will only be as cool as your AC setting allows. Hope this information is helpful!

1. I do not think it would fully cool a 700 sq. foot apartment. Mine is ~850 and so I just use it in the bedroom; it keeps it below 70 degrees. Bedroom is 400 sq. feet.2. You can barely hear it run; the unit is quieter than any fan I have ever heard...

It has plenty of air flow, but air temp is just warm. I don't thing this would be what you want.

As long as you have ventilation. It pulls air from my 2nd floor window through the 1st and 2nd floor, and if I close the windows on the 1st floor, I get a nice breeze through my 2nd floor window on the opposite side of the house from the fan. And it's worth noting that it is several years old and still going strong.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

This is the fan for you! It can blow at you or put it in the middle of the room, aim it straight up and let it circulate the air in the whole room. I know you will love it!

It won't cool it down AC style but it defiantly works to cool and cycle the current air in the room.

it will just blow hot air around. It may provide some level of comfort, but will never match the level of cooling provided by the vehicles a/c system

Yes, I use it to cool some electronics and it blows fine. You do have to leave it either perfectly horizontal or vertical. It blows fine up or down.

900 square feet and with a blower it would heat a larger space. Really do like it.
