How low does the unit hang off the ceiling? Looks like a lot (maybe 5" - 6"). I have a low ceiling so need to know. Is it noisy in actual use?

i hangs down about 5", there are fans that are quieter and a lower profile.

Yes, mine hangs down around 6" and yes it is quite noisy. I was surprised how loud it is, wasn't much better than the old one it replaced.
1813124
yes from where it mounts to the bottom about 5 inches I have a 8' ceiling so idont notice it. Not very noisy

about 10-12". It isn't super noisy but it is noticeable. It replaced a unit in our ceiling that was so noisy you couldn't have it on while in the bathroom.

6" max off ceiling. Quieter than most I've seen. It's on display at Lowes and you can here it run

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

The unit itself does not make much noticeable noise. Ours is set up in our garage and is pretty much out of sight & out of mind. We have had no issues with the unit. No real instructions on how to set up when received though. Had to look up set up online on youtube.

We have 8 foot ceilings and I am 5'9". Still plenty of clearance for me. We use ours daily and are pretty happy with it. The manufacturer sent some extra washers for the upper arm connection and that fixed a low speed noise issue while under the standard one year warranty. They also sent a replacement mast in case the washers were not sufficient, at no charge.

This fan can hang at 14.5" to the bottom of the light. This works on an 8' ceiling and should leave you a 6'7.5" clearance.

I have high ceilings so it is hard for me to measure but I would say this fan is probably the best one to buy for low ceilings because it does not have a light. It's great for bedrooms because it is quiet. I love this fan. I have six of them throughout the house.

Sorry i don't still have the box to check for you ... I only know you have to hold onto your hair so it doesn't fly away when it is on high... I use low mostly and sometimes medium... I sit 6' away from its mounted place on the wall. I love this fan .

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

It is pretty darn quiet, I've never measured, but it isn't noticeable if it is running or not most of the time. I've got one in my shop and I hear a window unit from 2 rooms (masonary walls) over it.

It's a very quiet unit, making only the sound of a small fan. The included instructions specify how to locate in a building with regard to ceiling height and distance from floor to heater. I installed it lower than what the instructions said, because my custom location required it. The main thing is, as always, to keep combustables a good distance away

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

It's pretty noisy (from the fan). Don't know how big your apt is, but this is a very large unit. I was quite surprised when I got it. Good unit to help keep things cool(er), but it is quite noisy. Also, since other people have asked this...this is an evap cooler, if you live in a wet humid climate you do not want this type of cooler.

Almost silent wouldn't describe this unit. It's not overly noisy, but given you're description of use, I'd also be concerned of the moisture this would be putting into the air and how it would affect your equipment over time. Also, if the closet hasn't any exhaust for the heat to blow out somewhere, this or any other A/C won't be very efficient.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

My husband installed it on 9ft ceiling. It is too high, but I can hung laundry. I like it very much, but I have lower individually too. I like both.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy
