I have one in my bedroom. It doesn’t keep the room cool at all, it just circulates the air, so you’ll still need a fan or an AC unit.
Circulating hot humid air feels better than still hot humid air, but it is still hot humid air.
The ones I use at work just seem like weak fans to me. I honestly don’t know the difference. We even use them like fans. Maybe because the shape of the cage is rounder, it moves more air perhaps?
I used to have a Vornado and it was nice for kids room at night. It made the room feel better. It has very fine grill, and I could put it high enough, out of reach. It’s also great with A/C, it will redistribute the cool air – but any fan can do that.
But for myself I got a big ass fan until it was too hot and then A/C.
Maybe those air circulators are just weak fans that hopefully consume less energy, with the purpose to prevent mold
I use one to distribute the air conditioned air across the house but not as a sole means to keep cool
