MY APARTMENT'S LIVINGROOM WINDOW IS OVER THE FIRE ESCAPE SO I CAN'T HAVE A AIR CONDITIONER IN MY LIVINGROOM THEY ONLY ALLOW AIR CONDITIONERS THAT FIT INTO THE BUILDING WALL. SO I HAVE A SOLUTION THANX TO ROWENTA FANS. I USE A SMALL ONE TO BLOW THE AIR CONDITIONING FROM THE BEDROOM TO THE DINING AREA THEN EVENTUALLY THE LIVING ROOM. I KNOW OF NO OTHER FAN THAT DOES THE JOB.AND QUIET TOO!
