can the fan work without heat? is it a cooling fan/heater combo?

It's not a heater, only an oscillating fan with a wireless remote control. I like it a lot, especially the remote! See the other 2 answers also.

Good Morning C.Unfortunately it is not a combination of both heating and cooling, it is only fan with a thermostat to adjust cool temperature settings. Very helpful during the nights. -GoWise USA

I'm not sure. Fan is poorly made and broke within 3 weeks of purchase. Fan is made of cheap plastic and the wires are held in place with a little bit of glue. Fan isn't easy to take apart. It has made it's way to the trash

We use it for cooling only. As far as heating, I am not sure if it has the capabilities because I threw out the manual. You may be able to search the manual online though. I will say that this is a great fan. It works very well in our humid environment and it is very quiet. I also like the remote control feature. I would definitely buy this fan again. Hope this helps you. Take care.

I would say yes. As long as air is getting to the heatsink, I think it would work fine without the fan.

I really do not think running a fan would have any bearing on the heat being dispensed any faster. Once the heater is at its highest heating capacity, a fan may help to drive the heat further in the air. I love the heater. It gives great comfortable cozy heat, no matter what room its in, especially the bathroom.

Not sure, we don't use the heater or fan and have had no problems. Check with manufacturer??

It's 'just' a fan but it is an excellent fan without a cooling system. I have 2 and they really make an impact on keeping my bedroom and living room cool.

Uhh, its not a heater. The air coming out will not be warmer than the air going in. Its just a fan. Like any fan - box, oscillating, stand or what have you, it simply moves the air in the room around.

It's strictly heat only. There's no option to make it run as just a fan, nor is there any kind of cooling feature.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

Its a fan. It circulates the air. Its not a heater, or A/C unit. It moves the room air.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

It is just a core with fan, no heating element, I was under the impression there was, so will use them for another application

Botts,This has been edited, sorry... I originally posted that it COULD be run without heat, sorry for any confusion, I was thinking about one of our other ultrasonics. The unit can NOT be run without the heat, but you can adjust it.Hope this helps.Robert

The intent of this heatsink is to work with no fan, and provide a nice quiet operation. Adding a fan defeats the point. The size of this heatsink is large enough to ensure good temperate on the CPU without the need of a fan. If you want to use a fan, your best choice is to use a (cheaper) heat sink that is designed for a fan.

My son gave me one of these that he wasn't using, and I just set it up. Jon Shops is correct. When the heat part shuts off, so does the fan. This is a heater only; if you want something to cool the room, this is not it.

Yes. At the time I purchased it, I was only using the fan. Never got a chance to use the heater since I returned it.

Not unless you can find a remote thermostat for fan type unit heaters - not sure there is such a thing. Most remote thermostats will cut power to the whole unit without allowing the fan to cool down the element, which will eventually fry the element.

It's a passive heat source. Surface warms up very nicely. I see no fan. The knob at the top has three positions: Off, Footrest, Panel. I've had it on Footrest all the time. I switched it moments ago and cannot tell the difference. The visual by the control knob seems to indicate the flow of heat is different but I cannot tell. I would not recommend this for your need. I think you need a heater with a fan/blower of some sort. I use this footrest for quiet warmth on my tootsies. When I need more heat, I turn on a small ceramic "disk" heater with an adjustable fan/blower that does a great job. It's a passive heat source. Surface warms up very nicely. I see no fan.
