Add me to the list.  Unless you have a very small house and moderate
climate, that small of a unit will do very little.  I agree a fan can help
immensely with air circulation, you still need a certain amount of capacity
to move a given heat load.

If you have a two room cabin, OK, if you have a 2,000 sq. ft. Colonial, you
are full of BS.
