View Full Version : Why are these the only type of Fans given away during a HEAT WAVE??
TVFactFan 07-18-2006, 10:03 PM That pointless BOX FAN that does NOTHING. What the hell is that Fan supposed to do during a 98 degree day? Why don't these Free Fan Program give away a Fan that ROTATES!!!!!!! Instead of that stupid Box Fan. Why was the Box Fan even created?

It's probably all they can afford. There's alot of poor people out there, therefore alot of fans to give away. A box fan is better than nothing. I had a box fan for years, and it was far better then when I had no fan at all. I have a stand up fan right now, which really isn't much different than a box fan, and it's just fine for me.

cheap no good piece of crap.
Chelsea 07-18-2006, 11:27 PM ...Actually, I found a use for box fans. While back, I was watching the Food Network. And the host of a show showed how to dehydrate jerky using box fans and those filters you put up in the ventilation shaft.
Dead serious.

And THAT'S a use for a box fan.

Yep-lol Those Fans do nothing. I had one when I was 13 and I was still Hotter than Pavanbadal when the Nets were kicked out the Playoffs-lol

What does putting it in the window do?-lol

Brings in cool air at night. That's the best way to use 'em.

Well if that's the case I should just put that in my window and and Take the AC out so my electric bill can be lower-lol

:yeahthat:
Kazza 07-19-2006, 11:59 AM What cool air at night?Just because the sun had set doesn't mean the air has cooled down a whole lot. Our low at night is 80. ;D

dlemond 07-19-2006, 12:39 PM You can also use box fans to suck the hot air out the room.
Face it outwards in the window.
Believe me- I've lived in enough bachelor pads to know- it works.

Yep, I use to do that all the time.
Chelsea 07-19-2006, 03:14 PM Personally, I think this works best:
Stick one box fan at the entry of a doorway, or as close as you can - facing inward toward the room. Stick another, facing outward, in the window. The 2nd fan pulling the wind generated by the first out will create a nice little breeze - hopefully.

Done that.
Works nicely.

A Box Fan is Useless on a 99 Degree Day

one fan pulls the hot air out and the second makes cool air.

it's better then just sitting there in still heat.

Rotating Fan works better for me
