Description says for use in damp locations, but can it be used in non-damp locations like a kitchen just to circulate the air?

That's how we used it, in hallway at top of stairs to push the warm air down.

Yes! The ability to work in damp location is a bonus. It will work just as well in a dry location! Great quiet fan!

I have four of these fans in my house: master bath, den, and two in the kitchen. They work great in all areas and circulate a lot of air.

It can be used indoors. We use it in our shop but it is an evaporative cooler. So it cools by putting moisture into the air.The good thing is that there is no compressor so it uses little power but I would only use it outside or in an industrial building you could not really use it indoors in a house there would be moisture issues.

You can definitely feel the output of cool air. Ours is on hard wood floors with a piece of felt underneath to prevent any scratches. Neither the floor nor the felt have ever been even slightly damp. I would imagine carpet would be ok

No. I used it to keep my closet cool because I turned it into an office. It does a great job moving the air in spaces like that.

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.

It could be used anywhere, providing you have sufficient head room. I wouldn't probably install this nice of a fan in that environment.

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

This fan pulls air through it. I have it installed in an outside wall of a bath. Thus air (an moisture) is pulled out of the bath and is exhausted outside the house.If it were installed in the wall between the bath and bed rooms as you suggest, moist air would be exhausted into the bedroom - not a good idea because it could promote growth of mold.

I guess you could use it in any opening to the outside as long as you block off the airflow around it. It's not designed to be used that way though and you might get a buildup of water in the unit if it isn't angled towards the outside.

this dehumidifier is NOT quiet enough to use in a living room. it is designed to be in abasement. the fan works constantly to keep the air moving and hence remove thehumidity (which is what it is made for ). I researched dehumidifiers for basements andthis one is excellent for that application.

Personally i wouldn't as it was designed for countertop use. It has vents on the back side and a fan on the bottom. The unit will overheat if constricted.

Hi! This is exactly why I purchased this! I wanted to save on energy By decreasing the central air usage. In my experience, this is great for a large room or open space. It won't sub for central air on another level of the house. I have a large living-dining area that is cooked just fine with this on the highest setting on the sweeping motion. Hope this helps. Their website gives specific dimensions for cooling area....

I wouldn't recommend that application. This fan is made to move air from a case or cabinet not to exhaust a bathroom. It's not big enough

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.

Yes. It's very quiet & even on higher speed, not that strong. It's more for moving air than direct fanning. I use it on my vanity.

Yes. They are suitable for damp locations. I have one above my shower (though the ceiling is 9' tall).

I bought to heat my living room and it was listed in Home and Kitchen. Wouldn't think it would be useful in any outdoor space.
