Why purchase an air mover?
There are plenty of uses for air movers.

The one I purchased is the above model -- a Bluedri® One-29 three-speed centrifugal (turbo) air mover.

The categories of use fall into those listed below.


Blowing: The blowing of the air from the Air Mover can be used to ventilate areas, cool motors and other work objects, or humidify an area by spraying a mist in front of the air stream. Many of these uses are very similar to that of a traditional fan.

Removal of Fumes: An Air Mover can be used to safely remove a toxic or unpleasant fume or gas from an area.

Movement: Air Movers move air and can also be used to move lightweight objects for such things as removing lint, dust, paper scraps, leaves, and other small debris from an area. This can be useful if the operator is trying to sort small lightweight objects from other smaller, heavier objects which would be unmoved by the air.

Mixing and Agitation: Air Movers can be used to agitate liquid in a tank. They also are effective for mixing air with other gases.

Drying: Air Movers are often used to dry water off of something, or to dry ink, paints, or other coatings from a surface.

With Air Movers, you can instantly start or stop the flow of air as desired.
With other rotating devices such as fans, they require waiting for fan blades to quit moving as well as the small amount of upfront lag time while they reach their maximum speed. If you need very precise, controlled air movement, an Air Mover is the better option.

Air Movers operate much more quietly than industrial fans.

Since Air Movers don't have any moving parts, they don't require regular maintenance and are extremely reliable.

They are also safer overall than most other similar equipment.

Air Movers have a high range of portability.  The one I got weighs 26 lbs.

With multiple operating positions, Air Movers allow the user to direct the air flow where it is most needed.  The one above has 3 different blowing positions.

Designed to maximize their effectiveness, Air Movers use a minimal amount of compressed air and power to provide significant effects. This means the user is able to operate multiple units on a single circuit if need be.

Air Movers like the one above can be purchased at a very reasonable cost.  I got mine for $89.97 on Ebay with free shipping.  Normally this model is selling for $149.95 with free shipping on Ebay.


Centrifugal Air Movers are the most commonly used to dry carpet.  Carpets that take longer than 24 hours to dry can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria. Damp carpets also resoil rapidly.
Wet carpets pose a safety hazard as they can cause tripping and falling accidents.

One Air Mover is needed for every 200 square feet of carpet.

The model above has a 2900 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) air flow rate.
