Would this fan be better than a large drum fan to move outdoor cig smoke from downstairs neighbor? due to airflow it collects on my balcony.

Probably. This type blower is very directional with almost pin point air flow. Large fans move a lot of air but tend to swirl the air over a broader area. This blower is much quieter than a blade type fan plus it has three speeds. I bought two of them to use in my shop to blow the sawdust out the door.Don't think you would be disappointed in this blower.Good luck.

It's nozzle is smaller than a drum fan but it is super powerful. It's hard to say as I don't know how much smoke you are dealing with or how big your balcony is. Have you tried an air purifier. They are amazing and get rid of cigarette smoke etc. realtors will use them when tryi g to sell someone's house who has smokers. It eliminates the smell. They have a bunch on amazon in different price points. That with a fan would work I bet.

Not sure, but I can say this fan is very quiet, very directional, and moves a lot of air for its size

Oh my yes... it moves an incredible amount of air, and comparatively much quieter. I use mine to move the cooler air on the bottom floor up to the top floor. It may even blow your neighbors smoke right back at him. I also like how it pivots, and it's very sturdy.

i bought 1 80mm fan and am using it for exhaust. i did this to prevent dust building up.

Yes! This fan is really nice. We use these to dress up vacant apartments to lease.

I think It would be far to much for that small space. IMHO!!! But One would probably be okay with a couple good exhaust fans. good Luck!!

I don't think it would be powerful enough. You need a smoke-eater but I think they are expensive. If you sat behind a fan pointed away from the neighbor maybe that would work.

For the size of the fan it move a lot of air. Installed 2 on my patio instead of 1 large fan giving better area air movement control. I would install these fans again.

Yes, this fan will move a fair amount of air in a closed room. Patio service requires heavy duty industrial fans for good cooling.

The wind flow is pretty strong even on low. The fan grilles are made of plastic so it probably wouldn't take a beating but if you are careful with it it should work for that.

Yes, i think it can be used as an exhaust fan and the air flow can be noticed at 2ft or a little more. Is not a súper strong airflow but can certainly feel it.

This fan will move the air around 25 to 30 feet, it is quiet and will help to keep pests away. I believe this would be a good choice for a patio fan. Good Luck>

It pushes plenty of air if I remember correctly 1600 cfm on high adjustments to tilt Turning off oscillation should allow to get air moving to push smoke.It is a bit noisy on high but should acceptable for the application you described. It only has a 6' cord so if your desired mounting location is not directly over receptacle you will need to use an extension cord or power strip. Using a 5' section of wiremold to conceal the cord down the wall makes for a clean looking install

It works well and is powerful enough however it also depends on how close you are to the unit and the position of the smoke absorber. The hakko FA400-04 does well standing upright for soldering larger objects and also lyes flat for components that are at desk level. Additionally the closer you are to the fan more fumes will be absorbed. Fumes can be drawn in from the Hakko with a relative distance of 6" to 8" inches at best.

I returned my unit to the manufacturer. I found it ineffective for my needs and very noisy. Whether this would neutralize cigarette odors coming from another source other then the confines of your condo would be marginal at best.

It is too small imo. The larger Vornado or the Lasko shop fan would work better. I have both.

This fan is way to loud for inside residential use. A filter helps a little with the noise, but it doesn`t come with one. It does exhaust air very well.

I use mine on a covered porch and haven't had any problems... but there is good air flow across the smoker. If there isn't good ventilation... I would expect problems. This is a smoker, it puts out a lot of smoke. Besides thick smoke being unpleasant to be in... when hot enough... and thick enough... smoke can become flammable. If it were me... I would still own one... I'd just figure out a way to vent the smoke.

Yes, as long as there is proper ventilation for the smoke you'll be fine. The unit itself does not get hot on the outside, it's contained on the inside and I have used it numerous times in my garage even with the doors open when it has been raining. Shouldn't be a problem.
