20 Best Cooling Fan For Outdoors (2023 Updated)

I did not purchase this fan from QVC. I purchased it 4 Years ago from another source. BUT. if you are looking for a Reliable Fan THIS is it !!! I have it running usually 24 hours a day (in the summer and late spring) in my livingroom.

it blows air (on the Medium setting) throughout the house – even into the Den and Kitchen. I purchased Another one later in 2018 and have it on the screened in back porch. It gets damp out there when it rains – but my LASKO Wind Machine still works like New !! I love it SO Much that I purchased a Third one last year to have a Spare “Just In Case” something happened.

It has been knocked over (I have 3 large German Shepherd Dogs) I just stand it back up and it keeps going. It is Quiet – f I could I would give it TEN STARS !!! This Fan is FANTASTIC and for the Price ?? I seriously do NOT think you will find a Better Fan !!! Still working like NEW after 4 years !!!.

This fan is excellent! I am purchasing a second one for my living room. The design is superb. The easy tilting advantage of this fan makes it so versatile. The Windmachine should honestly win awards for the power of the air circulation to the ease of adjusting the direction and angle of the air flow.

It is also very light weight! I used to carry it up and downstairs depending where I was. But I’ve decoded to purchase a second one. No ther fan compares to this one. I could not recommend it more highly.

I loved the fan but after less than two years the motor is dead. For what I paid I expected this to last much longer. I have another fan that is easily 20 years old or more so the fact this lasted less than 2 years is disappointing.

I specifically bought this wind machine because I wanted something with a decent amount of fan noise that would also put out a good amount of air. I was very surprised when I read this fan only had a one year warranty.

Nothing is made to last anymore! I’m gonna try to contact Lasko and see if there’s anything they will do about it and if they don’t, I’ll be finding another brand. So tired of cheap, made-to-fail products that are a waste of hard-earned money! Update: Lasko will not stand behind their product and offer a replacement or even a discount so I will no longer be purchasing any of their products.

Companies that don’t stand behind their products may as well issue a statement saying their products are made with cheap parts, designed to break in a short time.

Same item is MUCH cheaper at Amazon. This is a 2 pack for $279. You can buy individually for $111 on Amazon. Save $60 on 2 with amazon. Walmart used to be great, but their other retailers jack up prices now on EVERYTHING.

Fan is good. This review is on the price alone.

Fits perfectly. However the Porsche crest is of a slightly different material than my originals. I wish I was able to find the crests only. I would have four extras to pop in.

New caps, identical to original, easy installation, just snapped into place. Old cap just pulled out with a gentle tug, using a small size allen wrench. Just put the short end through the holes in the cap, and pull.

If I ever lose another cap, this is the way I will go to remedy the situation.

We have 2 wonderful Daniff dogs (English Mastiff/Great Dane mix). They don’t particularly like high temps and enjoy playing in our 10ft. , 4 tier fountain. Of course we frown on that! The fix? We purposely procured the Lasko mister fan for its ability to provide both the fan and a water mist properties.

Works like a charm. Boomer and Blue dance and play in the mist until they are soaked, cool and exhausted. Then we turn off the mister and they lay down in front of the fan for a refreshing breeze until practically dry.

Me, my wife, and our friends enjoy the lasko mister. And our dogs now know what’s going to happen when we break it out and they start doing the “Daniff” dance. Plus, I’m sure our fountain appreciates getting back to the birds only routine 😉 Great purchase! The applications are unlimited.

who would of thought it could make dogs dance and bite at the water mist not only for their entertainment but also for entertaining their owners and friends. Try it it, you’ll like it.

I bought this product because I wanted to give my dogs some relief from the heat. The fan works fine but the mister produces an excessive amount of heavy mist. I have a couple of rugs and some doggie beds on my patio.

I have set the misting power knob to 1 and the faucet is at the lowest level. The mister produces so much heavy mist that in a very short time the rugs and doggie beds become soaked and the concrete floor is all wet.

I got this misting fan for my backyard chickens’ run area because I was concerned about them overheating. While the range of this misting fan is limited, it does help. I point it into a thicket of bushes that they hang out in for shade and it wets the foliage and the ground which offers some relief to the chickens underneath.

I don’t see them standing directly in the mist, maybe when they get used to it, they will. It is one among several lines of defense against the heat.

I have only had this fan for couple months now but it is holding up well so far. It does put out a fairly good wind stream which is truly pleasant on a hot day and to keep bugs away. It has 3-speeds.

I find that with the highest setting, the fan is rather loud, but tolerable. This mostly affects me if I am listening to music. Normally I run it on low/medium. The remote control is great to have. Probably the biggest design improvement I would ask for is a wider oscillation range.

It is limited to about an 80-degree spread. So if your outdoor space is arranged in a rectangle, not every corner may get covered. I thought of adding a second one someday, but cost will prevent this for awhile.

A big surprise though to me was the instructions said not to plug this into an extension cord due to potential heat buildup. This was the first I read of that and was a bit surprised because you don’t find this out until you have the package opened and the item is removed from the box.

Unfortunately if I am to use the fan, I have no choice but to use an extension cord. I do have mine plugged into a outdoor-grade extension cord though. So far I have not noticed any heat buildup with the cord.

The fan looks nice and actually appears bigger to me than what it appears in the pictures. Not necessarily an issue, but just thought I would mention it. The unit is well-built and does tolerate the outdoors (at least summertime weather).

I will move it indoors of course during the winter. A somewhat laughable complaint I have was in regards to opening the package as per their ‘picture’ only instruction. The actual assemby of the fan is simple and requires only a couple of small steps, but getting the box open per their instructions was rather odd.

I just had trouble visualizing what they were indicating. I was concerned because I was trying to preserve the original packaging in case I wanted to return the unit, therefore I did not want to just rip the box open.

Overall I feel pretty good about this purchase. It definately is nice to have some air circulation while sitting under the gazebo. I looked at other fans and did not find much in the way of outdoor rated fans that I liked (for example, the appearance was not to my liking).

This one fits the bill so far until somebody comes out with a better one.

Discontinued product, no longer made. Needed replacement. Ebay was only located source.

Love the fan. In my covered patio 15 years. How do we take apart to clean? Is there a filter? The rotation stopped. Please respond. \n\nPat

So the heat has just been sooo intense! This fan/mister has been wonderful giving me piece of mind that I do everything I can to keep my hens, yes my chickens, as comfortable as possible. I have to keep them in the run and coop, no free ranging.

So they have shade, food, water, fans, and a mister. I keep the fan outside of the run for safety and can direct the breeze and mist where I want it. The run floor is sand so there is good drainage and they can walk on the wet sand to help cool themselves.

Just attach the garden hose and they get a nice mist that cools the area and makes it so much more comfortable. One downfall is our water is EXTREMELY HARD and fills the little brass mister pieces within days.

I take them off to soak in vinegar, that worked for a few times but now I am down to two of these brass pieces. I hope I can find replacements because without the brass pieces the water just pours out of the holes and does not mist.

If you don’t have an enclosed patio; relaxing outside in this heat is impossible. Unless you have a misting fan! It makes grilling outside and enjoying my deck comfortable activities. Even in this heat! The cool misting fan is perfect for summer months of outdoor living.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate a screw that connects the fan to the base. After contacting customer service; they are replacing the entire unit. Melissa, the customer service representative, went above and beyond in working to help me to solve this problem.

Although I was a couple of weeks beyond my warranty, this great company honored the warranty and more. I actually got to speak to a CR without waiting a hour and couldn’t be more satisfied with the result.

Thank you Melissa and NewAir for putting the “customer” back into customer service. You have a fan (no pun intended) for life!!!.

I use this fan on my covered screened lanai, to keep my parrot cool and happy, and it works great! Yes, she is spoiled and has her own fan! Wonderful airflow, fairly quiet. It has a safety fuse built in, so that is some peace of mind, using it outdoors.

I had some trouble with the circuit breaker part of it, but the customer service at NEWAIR was fantastic! Ingrid helped me exchange the unit and took great care of me. Wonderful company to work with!.

The quality of this fan is fantastic. Looks great. Install was mostly easy. There are two “tangs” which the fan slips onto the bracket. They need to be pushed in and even or it doesn’t look good. Only reason for not giving a 5 star rating is that I wish they pushed a little more air.

This is a sleek looking, attractive product. Installs easily. Very well packaged. I would give it five stars if it moved a bit more air. Still, overall, a superior design and product.

The Saxz fan that I’m replacing was charged by a usb cable and it’s battery simply couldn’t hold a charge any more. I found the size, price and aesthetic of this fan to be perfect for my needs. When it arrived I discovered that it runs off two alkaline D batteries.

Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with a battery operated fan. With fresh batteries this fan puts out a strong breeze I could feel 10 or so feet away. I’m not keeping the fan because I want a model with rechargeable battery/batteries.

I was looking for a small fan for my mid-summer car camping trips. I bought this one because it used D-sized batteries, a size which I already use in other camping applications. It is as advertised. I expect it will provide a subtle breeze in my tent,enough to sleep on sweltering evenings.

It is as far from robust as possible. To be clear: if the plastic was any thinner, it wouldn’t work. It will not take any type of abuse without damage. But for the price I will pack it carefully between uses and be careful while it is in use.

Thank God I bought this little fan to go with me on deployment as a First Responder to Puerto Rico in October! The heat and humidity were unbearable at night, since we were housed on the 3rd floor of the church’s preschool building.

All I had to do was turn on my little personal O2Coool battery-powered fan and blow it on me (on low, to save the batteries), and I would stop pouring sweat off of my face and neck. Then, it was easy to fall asleep and wake up refreshed, ready to rock and roll all over again! In the end, I used my fan with only one set of batteries for 7 nights, without a hitch.

In fact, on low (which was more than adequate close up, or even set 1 1/2 feet away on a folding chair), the batteries never did lose their charge. In the end, I left it for one of the dear cooks for our team, who was exhausted from the lack of sleep in that kind of heat and humidity.

It was still running on the first set of batteries when I left it for her! These are so great, I am going to try to acquire 10 more as Christmas gifts this year, especially for my sister’s family who were in the track of the eye of Hurricane Irma in FL, and had no battery-powered anything when the electricity was off.

THANK YOU, O2COOL, for such a fantastic product! I would never have made it through deployment to Puerto Rico without this great little fan!!!.

Im not sure why having a tank makes misting fans more expensive. My cat has a fountain with a small pump. That fountain is about $35. Sure a misting fan needs a bigger pump. I just dont understand why a pump would take the fans from one or two hundred up to five or six hundred.

We have a wonderful power washer that was less than 2 hundred. Using it is awkward. The line from the hose to the tank is thin. Having two lines – the other being for electricity – makes set up and moving it around difficult.

I need mine while I work on our lawn, so it needs to move around. The width of the spray isnt wide. The unit looks sturdy and well made. One would have to be pretty far away not to get wet. I was soaked after one use.

Its very hot here. Im returning it.

We like this unit. For it’s price, it does a very good job. The mist is quite fine, and the volume of air/mist is just right for a home patio or deck. The unit is substantial, but we’ve had it only a short time and so I can’t say anything about durability or longevity although the early signs are promising.

There are a few things that could be improved, however. First, the water flow control is at the spigot end of the supply hose. It would be much more convenient to have the flow valve right at the unit.

The other thing is the documentation for the nozzles. We’re told when they need cleaning to use a non-acidic soak, especially mentioned is not to use vinegar. But the nozzles will also become clogged with small particulate matter and that means taking the nozzles apart.

There are no diagrams or instructions for this. Be aware that the nozzle is made up of seven parts and five of them are very small. They need to be reassembled in the right position, too, and for a few pieces the right order isn’t obvious.

These “cons” are by no means show-stoppers. To repeat, we like the unit and are quite satisfied.

Want to turn your backyard into your living room? Look no further. This powerful fan blows a lot of air for its size and lowers the air temperature by maybe 30 degrees when you use the misting feature.

It was easy to hook up to electricity and a garden hose (see instructions enclosed in the box). I used a powerful bright orange extension cord, rated high enough for a fan. This is even though the instructions said not top use.

Worthwhile product!.

This fan is GORGEOUS! The perfect blend of beauty and functionality We installed this fan in our living room, the color is a perfect match to the trim on the walls and floors; very true to what is pictured.

While this is a fan meant for outdoors install in the indoors is absolutely fine. The fan moves A LOT of air, so we tend to not put it on high. Well balanced and whisper quiet no matter what setting you use.

The light is clean and mildly muted so it is bright enough for everyday use while not being too bright and throwing a glare. The remote control feature is great, but make sure you keep it where you won’t lose it, as this fan does not have the standard chains.

The remote is the only way any setting can be changed. The fan came very well packaged to protect against any damage that could occur in transit, stocking etc. The base of this fan is very solid, and the blades are a composite material.

There were no additional weights needed on any of the blades as this is a very well balanced fan. The unit does. have a pivoting arm making it perfect for ceilings that are pitched rather than level.

Installation was quite simple, we replaced an existing fan so wiring was nothing more than reconnecting to the existing harness. A novice could definitely handle this on their own. All in all this is a great fan! Seriously considering another for the bedroom.

Definitely recommend!!!.

I just received a Visalia Ceiling fan and couldn’t be happier. The summers down here in NC are extremely humid so I was looking for an effective fan for my sunroom. Assembly was a piece of cake and only took a couple hours.

There are three mounting options which include low, standard, and angled ceiling. ,The Visalia Ceiling fan is damp rated for use as an indoor or outdoor fan in spaces exposed to moisture and humidity which is perfect for porches, patios, and sunrooms.

I was surprised by how powerful, yet quiet, this fan was. It features four speeds and even cones with a remote. The stainless steel hardware is resistant to rust and the white matte finish is aesthetically pleasing.

It also includes 118W energy-efficient LED bulbs to add to the ambiance, Overall, I’m very pleased with this fan. It looks great and has extremely efficient air flow which will cool down any room regardless of the intense summer heat.

My husband and I installed this fan in our 28×40 pole barn where we do a lot of work. It was a simple and easy install. The directions are clear and simple. After we installed it we turned it on and went thru all the speeds.

It is an extremely quiet and smooth operating fan. It circulates the air quickly. The LED light is also bright which is perfect when we are working on projects. Love the remote since it is hung a bit higher than I can reach.

We are considering moving this fan to our outdoor kitchen area once we have it completed. Another Hunter fan that is just perfect !.

We purchased this fan to help cool off my horse during the summer months. It is very well made & the motor is enclosed, so perfect for this location, since there is a lot of dust in a horse barn. It is also appropriate for a wet location (not in my case) We mounted it up over the top of the stall, pointed somewhat down.

It was probably about 10 feet up and well secured to the stall structure. We attached an extension cord that had a remote switch on it so that the fan could be turned on without the need to climb on a ladder each time it was to be used.

This worked out very well & the fan ran about 10 hours per day during the super hot summer (as long as there was someone in the barn to turn it off). We used the fan for just short of two summers until something happened to the fan without anyone (human or horse) touching it – one of the blades of the 3-blade assembly sheared nearly off the blade assembly.

We contacted Newair’s customer service and they have been super helpful! They are sending us a full replacement! (They even sent a return label) We are very satisfied by the assistance we received. Just wish we hadn’t needed to make use of them, but are so glad they were able to help us! This is a great fan & really kept my horse comfortable while not making a lot of noise (also helpful for a horse barn).

Great things about this fan-very powerful, even on lowest setting moves a lot of air. I use another window fan to bring cool air in (when it’s cooler outside, of course) then use this Newair fan to move the hot air out.

When weather conditions are right, this cools down the space very quickly. I feel confident the fan will last (this is summer #2), and the grill comes off for cleaning. The only negative-and this is mitigated by putting a nonslip mat underneath-is that because it is so powerful, the fan “skates” around on the hardwood floor, but, easilty addressed.

The good performance of this fan led me to purchase a portable ac unit from this company this year (will do a separate review for that). One mention, a hd fan like this makes some noise-does not bother me, but is to be expected.

I understand that I bought a refurbished fan but I really didn’t expect it to be so wobbly and shaky, especially when I turned it on, to test it, before mounting the fan. I held it and on the lowest speed, it was not very steady at all.

I then turned it up to higher speeds and it was better. So I put it together on the base and tightened everything and it seemed to be ok for a minute, only to start shaking again! Higher speeds were again, better, but STILL wobbly.

My Wife HATES it, so I am going to have to take the fan apart, box it all back up and return it! What a pain in the butt!! I guess it was too good to be true, with the price being quite a bit lower, for a water resistant, high velocity fan.

Better luck next time, I guess.

This fan was easy to install. I installed it in a room with a vaulted ceiling that was equipped with can lights for lighting as this fan is not equipped with lights. I have installed ceiling fans before and this one was no different than others as far as mounting it to the ceiling and putting the blades on.

All the set procedures were very straight forward and following the instruction manual was easy. The blades are made of plastic and do have a very defined texture and look to them. The fan blades do appear to be very wide which looks ok in the room that I put this fan in.

It is not the fanciest fan in my house but it does the job and pushes quite a bit of air. During operation of the fan I do not hear any abnormal noises or have I noticed any other problems with the pull string or anything else with the fan since I started using it.

So far so good and I do not forsee that changing.

We got this fan a couple days ago for our outdoor seating area. We did t want anything too crazy but wants a functional sharp looking fan. This one was perfect, the blades were large and really gave a nice breeze.

It looked great spinning outdoors and I wasn’t worried about the weather as it says it’s a outdoor/indoor fan. The only draw back at least for the one i got was there is no light. I’m sure it’s an add on or another model with one but we didn’t even think about it.

Also don’t judge the item by the packaging, when we first got it I got nervous because the packaging just made it look old or dated. Once we got it unpacked I could tell that was not the case. I would highly recommend this fan or one I this line for any indoor or outdoor setting.

Install was super easy, quick on off blades made it a snap to put together.

I used to rent an apartment that had a fan like this in it, and when we moved, it was hard for me to sleep without it. The gentle whirring and breeze was perfect. So when I saw this one, I had to have it.

I love that it’s got the big paddles and really pushes the air around. It’s not loud or clunky, and it doesn’t wobble like so many other ceiling fans I’ve owned over the years. My husband installed it, and it only took him a few minutes.

It is a bit heavy, but not too bad. I brought it into the house myself when it was delivered. The breeze it delivers is very powerful, and more than enough on low to circulate air in my bedroom. I think I may get another for the living room.

Between the two of them, I’m sure they can push the air conditioning throughout the entire house and I won’t have to spend so much money on another window a/c unit this summer. Overall, I’m really happy with the fan.

Pros: Super quiet – on the two lowest settings, which are ideal for sleeping, you can barely hear it. Ideal for bedrooms, lounge rooms, offices. Powerful – it might look small but it moves the air around just as well (if not better) than any larger/noisier fan I’ve owned.

Sturdy – it is made well and feels nice and sturdy. And being of solid plastic construction, it won’t go rusty like virtually every other fan I’ve owned. Compact – it’s a good compact size for a bedroom.

Set up – it was easy to put together. I haven’t bothered with the app as the controls on the fan itself are easy to use. No visible lights – the controls are behind the fan, not on the stem, so there are no visible lights lighting up the bedroom at night.

Cons Nothing I can think of right now and I plan on buying a couple more for use around the house come next summer.

Have been using this for about a week or 2 now, and I must say, its a lot quieter than our tower fan that we have been using. (Kambrook tower fan). Fan settings go from 1-100, so far iv been using it between 10-20 for a light breeze at night.

The mi home app can control turning left and right, the delayed turn off timer and notification sound. It’s not completely silent as you can still hear the light whirl of the fans, but substantially quieter than the tower fan.

Also surprisingly covers a wider than expected horizontal area. One thing I’d like to point out though is there are two heights – Desktop fan and standing fan, no I between, but has been fine so far with a small vertical tilt.

TLDR: Worth the buy as long as you have a smartphone that can run the mi home app (most will).

Shoutout to PB Tech for the fast click-and-collect! Was initially told it will be ready in 5 weeks because of low stock everywhere, but 10 days later I was surprised when I got a text that it’s ready for pickup.

Pros: Love that its fan guard have small gaps, gives me peace of mind when my toddler is around. Assembly off the box was easy as. Good built & quality, doesn’t feel like cheap plastic. Cons: It’s a bit small compared to other stand fans, but I think it’s just perfect for small rooms.

Doesn’t come with a remote, but its got a Wi-Fi feature makes up for it. Overall, a great buy! Would definitely recommend.

I am really digging this fan so far. Very powerful and not very loud. Was pretty easy to assemble, only tool needed was a Philips head screw driver. The control panel on the fan itself is easy to use and very reactive, don’t have to push hard.

Has a timer function that gives you the option to have the fan turn off automatically at either 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. It has 3 modes that are pre-programmed for quick use. The outdoor mode defaults to high speed, but of course allows you to select high, medium, or low.

The Natural mode defaults to medium speed and kind of mimics gusts of wind, changing from blowing to barely blowing and back again. The Sleep mode defaults to low for a quieter, calmer speed. The low speed still puts out plenty of air though and the high speed will cool any area quickly.

It also comes with a remote that allows you to control the fan and all it’s settings without getting up out of your seat. It has a rotating knob on the top of the fan behind the blade cage that you can use to have it oscillate or just blow in one direction.

The fan also has a tilt function to direct the air either higher or lower, depending on where you want it. The last feature is the base with wheels, allowing you to roll this around with ease. This fan can be used outside to cool a patio area or help keep bugs away or it can be used inside to quickly cool down any size room.

I’m excited to use it this summer in the bedroom to keep it cool without having to blast the AC in the whole house.

We are beyond ecstatic to kick off summer with our new Rowenta Outdoor Fan! We live in an extremely hot climate, it was time to retire our old fan and this one has it all. easily blowing the old one away! The fan has multiple settings which can be adjusted via remote or directly on the unit itself.

It offers 3 levels of airflow plus the choices of continuous flow, natural which is my favorite as it creates a really cool ebb and flow breeze effect and a timer setting with 4 time settings. Additionally the head can be adjusted up and down as well as being set to oscillate or remain stationary.

The wheels make it super simple to relocate and position plus the cord is heavy duty and a great length. Assembly was a breeze with straightforward directions, the included remote battery and it was ready to go in less than 15 minutes.

Rowenta’s outdoor fan definitely has it all and we are looking forward to a much cooler summer!.

I got this fan to put in my wood shop / garage shop as Texas summers get VERY hot, and there’s little air movement in there. I am pleasantly surprised at how much air this fan moves for the noise level.

It’s not silent (none are) but it’s definitely quieter than other fans I’ve had that moved similar air. Fan is very well constructed and feels like it will last many years. The integrated handle is great, as I move this fan between the shop and our back patio in the evenings.

We control the speeds with the remote as it cools down at night and we need less airflow. On the lowest setting (I believe it has 5) – it is near silent, but still circulates air nicely. Great fan – I just need to get another one now :).

Received yesterday. Plugged in outlet. Airflow seemed pretty good. Haven’t tried with batteries yet. Taking on vacation where no electricity in part of the trip. Quite quiet. Actually wish it made more noise as that helps me sleep.

Will see how long batteries last. So far I’m happy with it.

I bought this to use in a closet that gets mildew. I have only used it for a few days, so I can’t tell if it is effective. It uses 6 big C cell batteries. It also has an electric outlet plug.

I bought 3. All died within about 6 months only using during the day. I even took them apart, cleaned them out and lubricated to keep the motor going. I paid $10 for mine. These are way overpriced and don’t last!.

We bought two of these fans for our seaside home in Antigua. They are very quiet and move a lot of air. Overall I rate them highly but take off some stars for the remote setup. I would caution anyone getting these fans to be very careful if you have two or more fans on one switch.

Upon setup you must sync the fans separately by turning off the electrical and removing one fan at a time from electrical service as you sync to the remote wall module. A bit tedious but not difficult.

You must make sure each fan is in the same operating state when you do this, for instance you must have both lights off and fans set preferably at off. We did not do this at first and when reconnected one fan would have a light on, the other off and fan speeds at different levels.

So, we set them at the same levels and re-installed. Problem solved (for then). The real problem arises when there are power outages. Twice we have encountered dis-similar function upon power returning.

This means back up on a 12 foot ladder as we have a high ceiling and running through the electrical and sync functions once again. If these fans had some sort of manual function it would make that process much easier.

I am seriously thinking of taking them down and going with a more traditional, Salt Air and manual fan.

I bought this fan for my covered outdoor patio. I probably could have bought a cheaper damp rated fan for this location, but wanted to make sure it would last. This fan is wet rated which means that it can get wet and still work perfectly fine.

It’s meant for uncovered outdoor areas where the fan will get wet from direct rainfall and dew and high humidity. I have not been able to test this out as it is in a covered patio. I had an electrician install this fan so I can’t tell you how hard it is to install.

However he installed it on about 30 minutes with an electrical box already in that location. The fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air. I live in Florida so it gets very hot and humid outdoors here.

This fan makes it possible to sit outside on our patio in the summer and not melt in the summer heat. The fan comes with a LED light kit that cannot be removed. It is sealed (so it doesn’t use standard LED light bulbs) instead it uses LED light strips which cannot be replaced that I know of.

That’s fine as LED lights last for thousands of hours of use and should last the lifetime of this fan. The light is bright enough, but not super bright and it is dimmable. The one issue I have with this fan is that it’s a remote controlled fan.

I understand why they did this (to eliminate another area for water to get into this fan, think pull chains), however, the remote control setup is poorly implemented. The remote that comes with this fan can be installed in the wall and hooked up to the house electrical.

However, all it uses the electrical for is an on/off switch. You can turn the light on/off (and dim it) and adjust the fan speed from the remote, all using the battery in the remote control. So if/when the battery dies you have to take the remote control out of the wall and disconnect the electrical connection and then replace the battery in the remote control and reinstall it in the wall.

To me that doesn’t make much sense. The reason they did this is because otherwise you would have to run additional wires from the switch to the fan to be able to control all operations of this fan. However, I think Hunter could have used the home AC to power the remote control so you didn’t have to change batteries.

To me that would make more sense. I just didn’t hook up the remote control in the wall. I just use it as a stand alone remote control so when the batteries die , I can replace them with ease. The other problem is that the remote comes standard ready to install in the wall, so it has wires sticking out of it and mounting hardware attached to it.

You can cut the wires and remove the mounting hardware (which is what I have done), but you have to have the right tools to do it. One nice thing is that you can buy an additional remote control (with wires and and hardware attached and pair it with the fan.

This way you have two remotes in case you lose one. They are not cheap, about $50 on Amazon or Home Depot. So far I like this fan, it can take water directly on it and I don’t have to worry about the blades warping over time, however I think it I had to do it all over again I would have gotten a cheaper damp rated fan with pull chains instead of this fan.

If you need a truly wet rated fan this is a good fan minus the remote setup.

Frustrated and disappointed that I had an electrician install three of these in my home. The fan is well built (noted by the electrician) but the battery-required remote and dim integrated LED light are disappointing.

My wife and kids have all complained that the light is so dim that it doesn’t make sense to use it. I’ll have to purchase more lamps to make this installation usable for my family. We all love the look of these fans.

The wall remote will be difficult to replace AAA batteries for and it’s hard to find the ‘on’ buttons when the room is dark. Personally, the light puts out about as much brightness that I would expect at a normal half-dimmer.

My family members have all asked if there were some upgrades that we could purchase to fix the light and the wall remotes. Unfortunately, these seem to be the top of the line. The fans do look good. There is a hum when the fan is running – louder than the previous fans that we replaced – but no one has complained about that yet.

I have a Duracraft fan that works well but a little loud. So, I purchased this fan at the end of spring and it just died Monday, September 26th. I really enjoy the fan and ran it practically all day and night.

I does move the air around the room quite well. I just wished it would have lasted longer then it did. I also, wished inwould have kept the box and paperwork. In addition to this model, I also purchased the oscillating floor fan that I didn’t run as much except on really hot days and used in conjunction with this fan to move the a/c air from the family room to the back bedrooms in the house.

I have my reservations on whether or not I will purchase again since I use my fans all year. The fan itself is 5 stars but the fact that it only lasted one season 0 stars. I hope this helps! Also, I had mine in my bedroom tilted towards the ceiling at times (45 degrees) and pointed towards the opposite wall and even from just outside my bedroom door towards the ceiling, the opposite wall, and towards the window, where I could ways feel the air bounce back towards me.

Honeywell, you need to do better. This fan should have lasted longer than one season. Especially, when I keep it clean.

I’ve purchased one or more of this model every year for the past 3 years. Before this model, I purchased its direct predecessor (same manufacturer, previous generation), which was very similar, just a bit louder and pushed more CFM.

This is the first year that I’ve felt that the quality has gone down. It’s very noticable that the manufacturer used a cheaper plastic power cord instead of the better ones with more of a flexible feel.

This power cord makes cracking sounds within the cable when you straighten it out after taking the fan out of the packaging. This is what cost the product one of its stars. The fan is still nice a quiet, pushes a solid quantity of air, and all three speeds settings are nice well balanced.

None of the settings are overly loud and the fan blades were balanced well with only an exceptionally minor vibration. Had the fan come with all four of the rubber feet instead of just two, I may not have even noticed the vibrations.

The packaging was good, though they really could do without the plastic bags. To top it all off, this fan is priced very well.

I bought this fan on sale a few weeks ago and found that it does not cool a 10×10 bedroom as well as I expected it too. I have a 2001 model that looks identical that really pushes air substantially better.

When I compared them I discovered the new one has a smaller weaker motor on the same chassis. Honeywell has downsized the motor. On high fan the new one pushes air like the original does on medium. I kept the new one because these fans sit nicely on the windowsill of our bedrooms with the windowcrank pressed in holding the base firmly in place.

I will watch for an older model at garage sales. The older models have red/orange Honeywell logo on ’em instead of white.

I got this for my back porch. I live in central Florida where it gets above 90F in the summertime. The hotter it gets, the better this thing performs as the evaporation of the water creates cool air.

I dont have a thermometer to test the difference but I can say that its quite cool and comfortable, even, on the hottest days. If you get too close, then, youll get wet. I try to place it far enough away so that nobody gets wet.

If its windy, then it might not be as effective as the wind will blow the cooler air around if sitting farther away. This isnt much of a problem for me as the back porch doesnt get a lot of wind and we dont typically have a lot of wind which is why this is so perfect for my needs.

The fan is powerful and cooling – we don’t really need ‘quiet’ for outdoors. The misting function has not been very useful as it drenches the area around the fan, even with the fan on high and the smaller nozzles attached.

Since it is lightweight, it’s very portable and we will keep experimenting with to use the misting function.

Works great, easy to use. You will get wet , if too close , 8 to 10 feet away is good, All I can say is , it really feels refreshing.& cold. Buy it, it’s great.

Great quality, moves a lot of air. We use this in our shop and it cools quite a large area. Everything is exactly as described. Noise is very acceptable. Honestly, any fan that moves this much air, you will hear.

To me there is no point in paying a lot more than what this very reasonable unit cost. Everything looks very durable. I would say, this is the best bang for your buck, if you are looking for a general cooling fan.

The fan was easy to assemble and does what it was designed to do, move a lot of air very quickly. I only have two complaints about the fan. First I have never been able to get the fan to maintain an upward angled tilt without having to grab a screw driver to tighten the bolt connecting the motor to the pedestal.

Second, it does become a small nuisance to have to unscrew and re-screw the oscillation arm when you want to change the setting. Overall, I am satisfied.

There are no words in the assembly instructions, just poorly drawn and not detailed images. The worst part about this product, though, is the fact that you cannot adjust the angle of the fan, because the angle adjustment screw does not support the weight of the fan itself, so the fan is facing downward at all times.

This is a very powerful fan and sturdy! For that reason it is louder than a lot of other indoor fans might be. And also, the base is pretty heavy and the mist mechanism very concentrated. As it is best suited for outdoor use.

But I do use it indoors (without the mist on of course) as it puts out an awesome amount of air flow. The only negative that I have, is that it would be nice if there was an attachment on the post to neatly store the mist tubing on when not in use.

As I have to move the fan around a lot from location to location, and the tube was constantly coming uncoiled from around the post and/or dangling on the ground. And eventually got a hole in it. Possibly even have a clip to attach the water hose itself to the post and connect a shorter tube to it from there, instead of on the ground?.

I purchased this fan during the beginning of a heat wave recently. The fan arrived in a timely fashion. My husband helped me do the minimal assembly. The directions were very clear and only a Phillips screwdriver was required.

This fan has exceeded my expectations!!! The misting feature works great. And, having 3 speeds with the tilting and oscillating features are much appreciated. The base is very solid and keeps the fan stationary.

Thank you for an excellent product.

This might be a nice fan, but it comes with a ceramic weight disc attached to the underside of the base which is also pre-drilled to attach the vertical support. Neither this weight nor the extra four bolts to attach it are mentioned or pictured in the poorly-written instruction manual, and the bolts are not long enough to attach the vertical support to the base through the weight.

I’m now left with the choice of fetching longer bolts from the hardware store, or simply returning this fan for a refund. As others have noted, parts quality is spotty- a curious mix of metal overall but cheap plastic used for critical parts, and the bolts are made of soft metal and strip easily.

Walmart quality at a Pottery Barn price.
