I live in an apartment that is just under 700 sq. feet and the AC unit that was in here didn't cool into my bedroom. Will this one cool other rooms?

My apartment is 600 sq. ft. and I have the AC in the living room. It has somewhat of a cooling affect on the kitchen and dining area, but very little affect (if any) on the bedroom which is around the corner and down a little hall from the LR. I have a ceiling fan in there, and did manage to get thru last summer (my first in this apt.) without installing another AC in the BR. But it was my ceiling fan that made that possible.

No, I dont think so, we put it in our living room and it barely cools this area, our apartment is 700 sq ft too, and we have this ac in the living area, that is, kitchen, living amd dinning.

I had to send it back. It did not cool my 500 sq ft apartment. Get a friedrich.

I have a basement with two rooms in it. Both are 350 sq feet. It only cools one room, because there is a doorway between the two rooms and airflow is not good. I would say in an open space this can probably cool 450 sq feet, but no window or wall unit will ever cool many "rooms" the air flow is never good enough to deliver the cooled air.

You definitely need to vent the hot air out of the area you want to cool. Bottom line if you don't have a window to vent the hot air this ac unit would be useless to you.

This fan will work very well for that room! Using mine in a slightly smaller area (132 sf) and only run on low speed to circulate AC from ceiling in the warmest room in house. I believe you will be happy.

no - probably need a larger fan. We chose this model for 2 bedrooms and it works fine for them.

I would NOT recommend purchasing this thing. It could not even cool a tiny NYC bedroom and I ended up paying $60 to ship it back, it was a disaster. I ended up with a window AC unit which was around the same price that cools my entire 450 sq ft apt efficiently, where the Koldfront couldn't even cool a 150 sq ft room.

I have a 500 sq ft room with a 12000 btu unit and it does great heating and cooling. Maybe a 10000 btu unit would be enough for you.

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

Each summer, I install the Frigidaire unit in my dinning room window. My three room apartment is approximately 900 sq ft and cools my whole apartment. I do not notice the unit being very noisy. If the unit was in my bedroom, I might have a different answer for you.

I put the ac in a rental unit and am not sure - sorry. I know the tenant is very happy with the unit!

Yes ...cause you can use it on low and won't have to use the full power of the air conditioning unit... I went from a 8000 but to a 12000btu and on the hottest day its on low plus I keep it on Energy saving mode and I love it ;-) less stress on the unit = a longer usage :-)

The manufacturer recommends that you don't, I think either for safety reasons having to do with the heat of the exhaust tube, or for performance reasons, or both. I had to change the installation location of my unit for this reason. However I can say that this is a great AC and I'm very happy with it all around. Performs very well, not too loud, blows very cold air, keeps my 450 sq ft studio in Brooklyn cool throughout summer. Tips: 1) use fans to help circulate the cool air around your space, particularly to push it into adjacent rooms that don't have their own AC; 2) switch ceiling fan(s) to the reverse (blowing up rather than down) position, so as to push the cool air up and flush out the hot air at the top of the room; and 3) don't turn the unit off when you're out, just turn the temperature up - it's more efficient than letting the space heat up and then having to cool it down completely each day.

Yes. You need to vent all the exhaust air out of your place or else the hot air will just recirculate in the room preventing it from cooling the room.

It will cool the room, but not as an air conditioner does. Air conditioning uses a compressor to cool air that passes through it. The Vornado Tower circulates air in such a way that heat will dissipate; warm air doesn't remain trapped but is recirculated. Yes, it will cool a room.

Depends on what speed you put the unit on and the size of the room. The unit is in our bedroom and we use it on low speed in the winter and in the summer we put it on high which makes the room feel cooler.

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

Yes. The unit is installed in a 800 SF rental cottage. My tenant reports it does a good job cooling in +80 deg outside temps. I don't know how much the tenant uses the ventilation feature.
