Can you easily use it in a grocery store as a personal fan? I need one with a good air flow

These are nice personal fans, but their utility depends on how far are they from you. The don't seem to move as much air as a 5" or 6" AC-powered fan, but they are much quieter. They are the best, small battery powered fans I've used.

The only question I'd have about using it in a grocery store is where would you put it? The best way to use it is to place it on a flat surface near you. I'd look into a fan that was designed to hang around your neck for being on the go.

I suppose so. These are intended to be personal fans, since they are only 5 inches tall.

Yes.. I bring it whereever I am. the two speeds make it nice and cool and the size is just right so I don't stand out like a sore thumb. I love them!!! They are really quiet so make sure you turn them off or you'll run out of batteries. When I'm at the store, I put the fan in the baby seat of the cart and turn it facing me. It's fantastic!

if it's not too humid and the air is blowing on you from less than 8', yes. Nice cool, humidified air. Can be made to fan across area and could cool two or three people adequately. I have three units and really love them inside.

I would agree with Auspician. In most cases a single fan is best used to suck hot air out of the cabinet, especially if you can mount the fan near the top of the cabinet and there is a source of fresh air somewhere near the bottom. In my case the cracks around the cabinet door provide enough air flow in.

This is not an air conditioner. It's a very good fan. Cooling a room down has several factors unknown to me. So, we enjoy ours because it is unique and it allows air to move in the space it is placed. If you need that to happen, then will enjoy it as much as we have. So much, we ordered a 2nd one. Good luck!

I love mine. It is tight adjusting the airflow but you won't want it loose to move on it's own. This is a powerful little fan. I have a lot of different fans that run all the time and the quality/compact size makes this one my favorite. Hope you will learn to enjoy it like we do.

Not really. the fan does a slow breeze. it is not like a traditional fan. it works great but it may not be what you expect.

I use mine EVERY day here in Florida, BUT... I use it pointed in the area that I am working. It is a small fan that is great for personal use, but I really don't think it would be efficient for removing the air volume of an attic.

Short answer, yes. This fan is very powerful and specifically designed to circulate any air. I find larger spaces are not a problem for this device it works very well.

I believe you can but they are grossly overpriced from what I remember (I researched this a while back). So, you might be better off getting a fan that comes with one - IMHO.

Yes. This is one wonderful fan. You will love it regardless. I have two and they keep my house cool with the aid of one air conditioner.

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.

You can use it in a cubicle setting if you want. Just try to place it where it can get good air flow. I keep mine on a two-drawer filing cabinet in my living room. I also have one placed on the floor in my bedroom closet. It has a pretty powerful fan so don't place it close to loose papers, tissues, etc.

No, this is not the fan for your application. You need a centrifugal fan. Just use that phrase in Amazon "search". They're more expensive than this one, but they'll do the job.

I purchased this fan for my office at work to help bridge the ten degree difference in temperature from my start time and when work actually turns on the AC which is sometime around 10AM. With the fan pointed at me about 3 feet away and on its lowest setting, it is almost too much airflow. If you have a small office cube this might be too much fan. The amount of air this fan can move would likely make it a great option for non-air conditioned work environments. For the price you can't go wrong purchasing it.

This is a good personal cooler. I've had mine for about 10 years, 7 of them in Glendale which is very hot. I use it almost every day where I sit. When it's really hot, I put in water and ice. I've never used it for cooling an entire room. I rarely clean it, occassionally dust the screen on the back and it still works great. It's not an air conditioner, (I do have a wall unit in the bedroom) but I like it. It's cheaper and quieter to run. I keep this one by my chair, I bought another one to move around the house.

You can, but keep in mind this is not a powerful fan; meaning it is just fine to provide a cooling breeze inside of a tent. In addition, the motor is not really meant for prolonged use and you'll probably damage it after a week or so of constant use. Caveat emptor, it is meant for ocasional, sporadic use. As such, it does a good job, no more no less. Hope this helps.

This fan doesn't really generate enough wind for use as a personal fan. As an electronics fan it's great tho.
