I don't have an air conditioner and am wondering if this fan really does cool a room down. Do you think it would reduce temp by 10 degrees in 150 ft ?

This fan moves air, however I use it at close range in my bed room just a few feet away from bed, accompanied with our air conditioner. I don't see it reaching 150 ft, you may want to try a bigger fan, something made for industrial use.

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 wouldn't say it replaces an A/C but it is really blasts the air better than any other fan out there, if that helps. As far as fans go, one of the better units I've come across and I've had many different type of fans in the past. Hope that helps!

I am not sure about how much it cools the room down in regards to degrees, but I love this fan. I live in a place that is very hot and humid. The cost for electricity is very expensive. I do not use my AC most of the time. I use this fan and it really helps. I turn on the AC for an hour before I go to bed and then just use the fan and am able to sleep comfortably. Living in a tropical island can be very hot at times and I am happy I purchased this item. I wish I had a couple more.

It doesn't reduce the temperature in the room. However, it provides great air flow and makes the room feel cooler.

It will not work like a/c. It is a strong fan (compared to other battery operated fans), so it will give you about a 10-15 degree wind chill cooling effect like other fans. But no, it will not cool like a/c.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

&lt;30% is where you'll see 10-15 degree decreases in your room. When humidity gets over 60%, evap coolers stop working, and in fact can increase the temperature by pumping in hotter, more humid air. At 50% humidity, you'll only get 2-5 degree decreases. With a smaller unit like this, I doubt that you'll notice anything above 50%. Right now in SLC, UT, it just rained. Humidity is about 53%. I can feel cool air coming out of the unit, but it doesn't travel more than 5-10 ft from the unit. When the humidity is the normal 20-25%, this thing blows frigid air and cools my 200 sq ft room quite well.

I've had my unit for 2 years now. If you're wanting to keep a cool room cool it isn't all that important where you put it; it will keep the air moving around and it will feel cooler that just AC alone. If you're wanting to make a hot room cooler fast then put it close (or right in front of) the AC. If you get a more compact model it will take a little longer to cool the room down. One thing you can do in the winter/cold weather with this unit is position it so it's pointing straight up on low, and it will move around the warm air that gathers up by the ceiling...not something that you asked about; just an additional observation..

Yes, it will cool a small bedroom. I have it in my very large studio (~750 square feet) with a sleeping loft (thus very high ceiling), and it works great.

Fans don't cool down air, air conditioners lower temps, while fans create a circulation of air (some better than others) which touches the skin and thus helps people be "cooler". Again, only an air conditioner will lower temps within a room, unless a fan is blowing cool air from outside or from another more cool area. Hope this helps.

The key will likely be do you have enough ventilation...It does not include a thermostat, so something with one might be a better idea.It does have a much stronger motor than most permanently mounted fans that I've seen...

Contrary to what many seem to believe, fans don't actually "cool" the air. The reason fans make the air feel "cooler" is because of the air flow they cause, which increases convection heat loss. Essentially the wind is causing moisture on your skin to evaporate, which helps you eliminate body heat. That being said, there is no sense in leaving a fan on when you are not in the room, it is merely wasting energy, and the electricity required to run it, actually produces heat!

This unit, different from an air conditioner, relies on evaporation of the mist it places in the air to cool a room. It does a great job lowering the ambient temperature by double digits but high humidity caps its effectiveness. That being said, a 20ft x 20ft room is about the limit of the beneficial result. Great product for cooling that one bedroom that always just stays too warm.

No, this unit doesn't cool. The fan blows and osculates the warm air around the room, but does not cool.

Depends how far up in Maine you are. I lived in Ct and it kept my small room, about 650 sq ft at 68 degrees easily. The fan only stays on until the unit is cooled. Set it up automatically and don't worry about it. Nice machine

It does not actively cool the air like an air conditioner would. Instead, it will automatically shut off if the air temperature reaches the threshold temperature you set. Example: You go to bed and it's 78 degrees, so you run your fan to cool you off. A few hours later, it drops to 74 degrees (the set threshold), so the fan shuts it self off. I'm not sure if it will turn back on if the temperature goes above the selected threshold.

We also don't have AC where we use this fan. It moves a lot of air around so you will feel cooler. You could probably put a wet sheet like material in front of it and make a sort of "swamp cooler". This fan works very well.

I put this fan in several years ago. My upstairs bedrooms would get extremely hot in hot weather. Since putting in this fan, they don't get hot anymore. My air conditioner runs less too. Even though I haven't kept track of my utility bill, I would assume the fan has saved me money.

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.

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.
