Works as advertised. Very powerful despite small size. Well engineered.
The fan is relatively small, yet has 4 misters and a very strong fan motor and is a squirrel cage design. So it has the potential to cover a large area. Even without using the misters, the fan is quite powerful and moves a lot of air. The fan articulates up and down and the fan motor has 3 speeds. There's no oscillation in any direction. About 16' is going to be the useful range, which is perfect for me. The fan does make a bit of noise, which is to be expected for one that moves this much air, but I don't find the noise annoying and it's actually quite pleasant as it provides basically white background noise which drowns out most of the other noises in my neighborhood yet isn't loud enough to drown out normal conversation. The handle makes it easy to move around. My initial impression is the fan looks and feels quite sturdy and would take a fair amount of abuse. The handle is designed to wrap the hose and cord around, so it packs up easily when not in use.I was up in the air between this fan or the Lasko 7050. After reading some of the complaints that the Lasko had limited range I decided to go with this one since it has a more powerful motor. I'm quite glad I did as this small fan will easily cover my entire 16x13 patio. Summers here in Texas are incredibly hot, yet this little fan makes my patio usable even in the hottest part of the day in July.. As someone pointed out, if you are too close to the fan you are going to get quite wet fairly quickly the reason being it puts out a considerable amount of mist. This is great for kids if they want to get misted quickly and then go play. To cover a larger area for constant use requires aiming the fan higher and letting the mist rain down on you. As the fan articulates up and down, this is no problem. I have a ceiling fan on my porch, so I aim the mist just below that fan and the result is my entire porch gets covered without soaking anyone. The down side is the misters aren't really adjustable as far as the volume of water they put out, although the fan has 3 speeds. So you can adjust how far the mist goes, but not the amount. I suspect the misters are standard and could probably be easily replaced with ones that put out different volumes of water.Unless your water supply is quite soft, I recommend getting a calcium inhibiting filter. The owner's manual recommends taking the misters out after each use and drying them along with periodic washings. Most people won't do this and without a calcium inhibitor you're likely to clog up the misters in short order otherwise which happens with all misting fans.The hose reaches about 8-9' and the electrical cord is about the same, so unless your spigot and outlet are close, you'll need an extension. The hose does use standard John Guest fittings, so it's possible to buy a longer hose at an aquarium supply or hardware store and it would be easy to replace. You could also easily buy John Guest T-connectors and run multiple fans off a single supply if you are the least bit handy.The packaging of the box leaves a little to be desired. In my case the box arrived in perfect condition and the fan is relatively sturdy, so I had no issues, but I could see with a bit of rough shipping the fan could easily be damaged.In summary, despite the small limitations, this fan is quite powerful in both volume of air and mist, so I think you'd have a hard time finding better at the price point. I'm quite happy so far with my purchase.

Working just beautifully so far
This is my second mister, first of this brand. The other only made puddles all over the place and provided nada for cooling. This has been fantastic - just a bare turn of the house provides plenty of mist, the fan gets it where I want it to go, makes the patio usable for me (and the cat) now that temps are well over 100F (109 for today). So long as it keeps working, was most definitely worth the money.Not sure why I was asked to rate it on weight. It's light enough for a person of average strength or maybe a little less to carry, but heavy enough to stay stable, which is more important to me than a light weight.

Great fan for Texas heat
We purchased this fan for a summer camping trip. It works well. Mist was a little heavy but in the Texas heat we aren’t complaining.

I bought this for my cat
I have an outdoor cat who doesn't want to be in the air-conditioned house but would rather go outside and sleep in the covered patio when it's 100+ outdoors. Live in Dallas.The cat likes it. I have to move it around to where he likes it and it helps to keep him cool. I've had it a week and so far no issues. Just plug it in and mist comes out. Turning on the fan is optional to blow the mist.The solution included adding a water faucet splitter so I can control the water to this fan and the water to the garden hose separately.It came with a little plastic valve which has a lever to turn the valve on/off. This part leaked on me no matter how I tried to mess with the gasket and used teflon tape. I didn't need it after I bought the faucet splitter.In Dalas, if I point the fan to blow horizontally, the ground in front gets all wet. If I point it up at 30-45 degrees, nothing gets wet.Good product. so far

Absolute Garbage!! DO NOT BUY
The media could not be loaded. I was very excited to receive this item because I live in the desert and thought the misting would be perfect for those hot afternoons. And it may have been if it ever worked. I’m on my second unit and both had the same issue with water shooting out of cracks in the front. To make matters worse, Amazon does not back this item up whatsoever. Note the warranty is 30 days. Really? I waited over 30 open it because it wasn’t hot yet and now I have no recourse but to try to get another one from the manufacturer. What a hassle. The sad thing is I really want this thing since summer is coming with its months of 100+ degree weather. Hopefully, I can get one that works because all I’ve gotten so far is garbage products and service.
