Abstract
In an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, a downstream edge of each of the blades of the fan of an air-blowing device, when viewed in plan view, intersects any of the members of a motor stay of the air-blowing device irrespective of an angle of rotation of the fan. The motor stays are connected to the mounting portions of a bellmouth in which the fan is disposed, wherein the mounting portions protrude downward from a downstream outlet end of the bellmouth and each include side surfaces, of which at least a first side surface opposing a pressure surface of each of the blades of the fan is at an angle relative to a rotation axis of the fan.
