I love this fan. And the misting feature is a great addition. Very easy to set up. And with the remote very easy to operate. I would recommend this fan to anyone.

Great product and great customer service

The picture of the fan outside by a pool is what enticed me to make this purchase, since we often get very warm when we’re sitting around our poolside table on hot summer days. The video showing a man coming back from a run all hot and sweaty, being cooled off by this fan made me think it would be great thing to have after mowing the lawn. A nice blast of cool mist seemed like just what we needed, but this device does not deliver that. It’s essentially a cool mist room humidifier attached to a stand-up oscillating fan, so it might be effective at cooling a small room inside the house, but outdoors in the heat? Forget it - a $20 fan from Walmart will do a much better job, even without mist. The remote control is also lacking. I put in two brand-new Duracell batteries (supplied by me; they’re not included), and I had to press each button three times or more to get a response from the fan. Overall, a very disappointing purchase - its back in the box, ready to be returned.

I use this to cool a bedroom that doesn't have great ventilation. It does a great job, even without adding water. Saves us from turning on the air conditioner. I just bought one for another room because I'm so happy with this one.

works well for sitting area

The media could not be loaded. Very cool looking. Great fan. Mist is great indoors but can’t feel it much outside in the summer here in Arizona. I would definitely recommending though for indoors.

Performance was ok.
