Could this fan be used safely in a bathroom?

I bought this particular fan for exclusive use in my bathroom. It's the perfect smaller size to sit on top of a tall storage cabinet. I live in FL and the bathroom warms up during the day & when showering. Considering it's size this Vornado (love their products) puts out a great amount of cool air and is perfect for this smaller room size. Since I can't reach the on/off switch I put one of those plugs in the outlet which allows you to turn the appliance on & off at the outlet site. Couldn't be happier with my cool red fan!

I use mine in the hallway outside of our small bathroom. It seems to do the trick. Instead of an exhaust fan, just use a small desk fan in the bathroom while showering.

Sir, My thinking would be that as long as the fan is not touching the automatic shutter in a way that would impede it's opening/closing function, it would be fine.

I wouldn't use it on its side. Yes, probably ok in a bathroom if turned off when you're not around.

This fan as well as any Panasonic ceiling mounted bath fan are suitable for use in a damp enviroment (in a shower) as long as the fan is connected to the load side of a GFCI receptacle or a GFCI circuit breaker but not a screw in fuse it cartridge fuse. Any questions consult a qualified licensed electrician to be safe.

I would think so, if the fan & light are wired separately or already controlled by separate switches. I've only used it on a large ceiling fan, not a bathroom fan. The fan side of the switch has 3 positions for 3 speeds, which ceiling fans are designed for, but I would guess at least the high speed setting should work, just can't say for sure since i haven't tried it on a bathroom ventillation fan. On/off & dimming of the light should work fine.

It's really not dangerous. The fan blades are foam. I wouldn't consider this to be harmful to anyone personally.

From the way I interpret the specs is that the fan is suitable for damp locations. I have installed them on a screen porch that is exposed to high humidity. The fans look and work great, and I think that they would look just a good indoors. The fact that they are rated for damp locations does not preclude their installation indoors.

Yes. I installed the fan in an older wood double hung window, and had no issues. Most of the fan unit extends toward the inside.

Yes, you can use it in a bathroom. You just need to pay attention in the size because it isn't too small

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

You should check your local building codes. Generally it is not permissible to vent a bathroom exhaust fan into another interior space, even a void space (like an attic, or between the walls.) This is especially true if you have a tub or shower in the bathroom.

That is not really what it was designed for. It is used to redirect harmful fumes from solder/desoldering in an enclosed area. A large fan might suit your needs a bit better, and less expensive.

I don't know if it will work (I suspect it will) but if the instructions for the fan say not to use it for risk of fire, I would not install it for insurance purposes.

Maybe. But I would not recommend it. I have it installed in my bathroom with the recommended light wattage and it's extremely bright. Perfect for a bathroom, but would be overkill in a cooktop. Also it's very noisy. From that aspect I am disappointed with it. But there fairly limited attractive bathroom fan options, so I accept it.

This would work great for a bathroom exhaust fan. Keep in mind the negative pressure because this fan is pretty powerful so an open window or door is prob necessary for best results.

I would say no. It would probably be a bit bulky for a small child. It is more suited for an adult in that application. The fan is very portable and light weight though, and can easily be handheld or placed/hooked on a nearby surface.
