Pros: - Oscillation works very well and is a good range - VERY powerful. This thing is a beast even on level 1. It’s probably too power for my back patio, but we love it! - Outdoor rated! - Can add misters to it. - Looks fancy and professional - Can be retrofitted to mount upside down (There’s another review that goes into how they did this - thanks person for that - your notes helped us! My dad did it for us, so please don’t ask me how!) - All your guests will be envious and ask you where you got it. - Has kept flying bugs at bay when it’s on. Yay less mosquitoes! - Dad says thanks for giving him a comfy cool spot to hang out in the So Cal summer heat. (Folks live with us now.) Cons: - Might actually be too powerful for smaller spaces, even the 18”. - Would be nice if it had an integrated mist option. We got a separate one, and using all the nozzles practically watered the back garden. We had to reduce to 1 nozzle. This would also make the mist easier to turn off and on. - Controls are a little bigger than they need to be. Really really happy with this purchase, and the cost is worth it to stay comfy. Read more
This is indeed a professional grade all-weather outdoor fan. I looked at less expensive fans, and the reviews often reported they had worked for a few weeks or months or a year. Of course I don't yet know how this one will last, but the construction certainly forecasts a long life. Our pergola has an opaque UV blocking roof, but it still gets warm and the mosquitos know where to look for us - unless there is a good breeze which this fan certainly causes. We probably won't add misting until we ascertain if the breeze will be enough. The oscillation is perfect and the air flow impression. The is normal fan noise - you can't have your airflow and quiet with an outdoor fan at the same time. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I LOVE this fan, and couldn’t be more thankful we found it. We have a neighbor who just moved in next-door that smokes all the time on her back porch (which is very close to ours). My son and I have strong reactions to cigarette smoke so I’ve been panicking about the situation. This fan saved us!! It’s powerful enough to blow most of the cigarette smell off of our porch, and allows me to sit outside, even while she’s smoking. Yes it’s loud, but I think that should be expected for a fan this powerful. I love that it oscillates and that it even has the option to add a misting ring. It’s sturdy, it came well packaged, and even has a rain cover which I appreciate. We’ve only had it a few days, but it seems so well made I expect it to last us a long time! We live in Florida, so the amount of air that this fan pushes out is very helpful in being able to enjoy our porch even on the hottest days. Read more
So, this is a quiet fam. I have had it for two weeks. It is starting to rust on top. It also only oscillated 45 degrees not 90 degrees as expected. I have it by our pool. Overall, I am happy with it as it is vertical powerful and quiet. I’ll see how it looks by the end of summer. Read more
This fan was expensive so my expectations were extremely high. I actually didn’t expect the fan to be of high enough quality for me to feel like the price was a good value for the cost but I am pleasantly surprised so far. This fan blows a serious volume of air while not making very much noise. We can carry on a normal conversation at the table without having to raise our voices at all. The only thing I wish is that they included a bracket which allowed for mounting on the corner of a post rather only the flat side. I had to use a torch to heat the included bracket and reshape it then repaint it. It was a lot of work that really should be avoided by them providing a better bracket. In spite of the short fall with the bracket I still am giving this a five star rating because the quality of the motor and construction are exceptional. I will come back and modify the rating if anything goes wrong or stops working. **updating after a couple years and this fan is just as good as it was brand new. Absolutely top quality Read more
The media could not be loaded. I searched for many fans.....came across this one. More money then I want to spend. But for such an amazing fan and great look the money was well worth it! The fan is very well built does not shake or vibrat. Puts out a lot of air/wind and is quite. The fan does not look cheap......it's very well built! It's mounted on a exterior wall under a soffit. And it also comes with a cover (that's cool).. The on and off switch comes with a mounting bracket for the wall. So over all I am very pleased with my purchase. (THANK YOU HYDROMIST FOR MAKING SUCH A GREAT LOOKING OUTSIDE FAN ! ) Read more
Looked for a while, decided to take another flier. Arrived fast, well packaged, and heavier than I expected. All good things. Install is pretty easy. Hooked mine up to a Wyze outdoor outlet to operate remotely. Fan worked fine, Wyze did not. Fan pushes a lot of air. Can't imagine using the third setting. Would be something along the lines of HURRICANE FORCE. My only 'wish' is a touch wider arc or maybe options on the wall-mount post to allow for a slightly off-center set-up. Niggling considerations. Fan is terrific and better built than I was expecting. Like the title says don't hesitate. It's worth every penny. Read more
