Q:Could i hook up a 6in hose to this, leave the fan on my floor and throw the hose in my attic for cooler air in my attic

Answer This Question

A:  No, there isn't any hose attachment. Perhaps you can place this blower near your large attic vent to exhaust some of the hot air from the attic. Ideally, you should have an attic fan installed.

      Q:Are the blower fan air mover better than a conventional fan for moving air?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Yes, stronger motor on blower fan , also able to direct air more precisely with blower fan, evaporates moisture quite efficiently. A fan will work , but not as effectively.

        A:  Yes this product is great for drying the area under a house or for drying a basement

        A:  Depends on what you're looking for. If you need to dry out flooring it's much better. It applies the full amount of air movement at the floor level where a standard box fan does not. I bought one a few years ago after getting water in my basement as I didn't want to rent one and its paid for itself many times over since between mine and friend's usage.

            A:  No. It does not have a heat setting. It circulates the air within the room it is in. It has three different setting: high, medium, and low.

                            A:  Hello Erin, Yes it could. I would mention that without tilting the unit in some way the bulk of the air is going to be confined to moving across the floor. I would recommend having a look at tower fans or evaporative fans (swamp coolers) as a more beneficial solution. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

                            Q:I have a $50 commercial wire frame fan from Home Depot. That fan says it pushes up to 6300 CFM on the high setting. So with this being 4 times as much and pushes a quarter of the CFM, why would I ever consider using this type of fan?

                            A:  This fan works better for drying areas where you need to direct air flow, such as directly over or under wet carpet. I also have higher capacity wire frame fans, but this works better for those purposes. It also doesn't blow your pictures off the walls.
