This Mercury AM-4 air mover accelerates carpet, pad, and subfloor drying after water extraction, cutting typical dry times from 12-24 hours down to as little as 2-4 hours. Its 1/2 HP motor and 10-inch galvanized steel fan push 1,500 CFM across 3 speeds and 3 tilt angles, so one unit can direct airflow across a floor, up a wall, or onto an elevated surface without extra hardware. Restoration crews and carpet cleaning teams stock these by the truckload because they stack for transport and daisy-chain 5-7 units off a single outlet.

Frequently asked questions
How many air movers can I run off one outlet?
These units are designed to daisy-chain, typically allowing 5-7 units to run off a single 15-amp outlet when used with a GFCI connection.
Can I stack these in my van or trailer?
Yes -- the housing is designed to stack, which saves significant cargo space compared to non-stacking air mover designs.
How does 1,500 CFM compare to other 1/2 HP units?
1,500 CFM is a strong airflow figure for a 1/2 HP motor in this class, which is why these units are a common choice for restoration fleets.
Is this loud enough to bother occupants during an occupied job?
Like most commercial air movers, these units generate meaningful fan noise. Plan placement and speed settings accordingly on occupied jobs.
Do I need a dehumidifier in addition to air movers?
Air movers accelerate evaporation from wet surfaces, while a dehumidifier removes that moisture from the air. Most structural drying jobs use both together for faster, more complete drying.
