I LIVE IN A CONDO WHERE THE ONLY WINDOW IN MY LIVING ROOM AND DINETTE ARE NOT USABLE FOR A BUILT IN AIR CONDITIONER. WHICH IS THE ONLY KIND WE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE. BECAUSE OF A FIRE ESCAPE. SO I HAVE ONE AIR CONDITIONER IN MY APARTMENT, THAT FAN IS ABLE TO SPREAD THE AIR CONDITIONED AIR FROM MY BEDROOM TO MY LIVINGROOM. IT IS QUIET AND HAS A NICE LOOK.
