Yes, air movers are very good for cooling, in fact they are more effective at personal cooling than most regular household fans because they move much more air at higher velocity and create stronger wind chill. When high-velocity air blows across your skin, it accelerates evaporation of sweat, which is your body's natural cooling mechanism, and can make you feel 10 to 15 degrees cooler even though the actual air temperature does not change. In garages, workshops, gyms, warehouses, and outdoor patios where air conditioning is not practical, air movers are commonly used for cooling workers and making spaces more comfortable. Their low-profile design pushes air along the floor where people are, and their powerful motors maintain strong airflow over long distances. However, they have downsides for cooling, they are loud at 70 to 80 decibels, similar to a vacuum cleaner, they use more electricity than a typical fan, often 300 to 800 watts, and they are bulky. They do not lower air temperature like an air conditioner, they only make you feel cooler when you are in the airflow. For home use, they are excellent for quickly cooling a hot room by circulating air or for moving cool air from an air conditioned room to a hot room, but for quiet bedroom cooling overnight, a ceiling fan or tower fan is usually more comfortable due to lower noise. For industrial or large space cooling, air movers are among the best fan options available.
