Does this fan vent moisture outside the home?

I don't know, I have never checked while I'm using it. It's working very well, it's quiet and has good light in it, including a night light. I am very happy with it.

Yes, very well. It is the best bathroom fan that we have ever had--quiet, adequate capacity, low profile, good looks.

It's not meant to be a dehumidifier but it does exhaust steam and odor fairly quickly.

Mine has a vent, rather like a dryer vent on the outside (external) wall. I would think it would protect the fan from rain. It vents into an attached storage shed or "closet" that is stuccoed with a steel door that protects my fan from the elements. I'd be sure it can be used outside or that it's well sheltered.

Mine is installed in my bathroom right out side the shower and was recommended to me specifically for the bathroom. I am very happy with the performance of my unit in our fairly large airy bathroom. I don't recall any warnings about moisture from shower/bath, but I do have a 340 CFM exhaust fan so moisture really isn't an issue in my Bath. My wife loves it and frankly that's what matters, ya know..Happy wife, happy life!.

Yes this unit does need to vent outside -- it comes with a plastic tube that I use to vent it to a window around 4' off the ground. It blows all the hot air outside, so I cannot see how it could be used without a window nearby. The moisture pulled in by the unit feeds out through a small tube at the bottom of the unit that I drain every few days (inside). This is separate from the hot air that needs to vent outside.

I believe so, we live in Virginia Beach, Hot and Humid summers and it works great here in cooling a room and those in it. The moisture coming out of the fan I believe would work for the dry desert heat also.

Yes it does. Mine is against an outside wall, and we were able to switch the ventilation function so instead of recirculating the air, it is actually thrown outside the house. It increased my countertop space tremendously. Hope this answer helps you. (we bought this one because it has the best rating on Consumer reports).

YES that is how I use it 2 vent my cat box area outside. I mounted it outside just beneath the soffit.

I don't know this fan is exhausting cabnetwork around a gas fireplace. No humidity involved in that situation.

No , I live in an attic apartment , and it works really well for what I need it for. Sometimes the steam comes out really strong and gets everything wet, this draws all the moisture in.

It's not an exhaust fan. It does draw moisture out of a room, but slowly. I used it in a room about 5x7x5 and it was still slightly humid in there on occasion, when the weather was particularly wet or hot.

It has a high and low fan setting. I run mine on the low setting and 50% humidity setting. It does not run constantly. What I do notice is a much dryer, more comfortable basement.

It will certainly move the air around. It won't cool the air or change the humidity level though. I use it in Santa Monica when the outside air is cool and the inside air is hot. it works great for that.

The fan keeps running, otherwise it wouldn't be able to keep an accurate humidity level in the area it is being used. The fan on this model seems to be more quiet than my previous dehumidifier. I hope this helps.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

I recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

No idea. I have been using one in my basement window for years. If the rain starts coming in, out comes the fan.
