Buddy lives in a 2-story house on my screened-in-porch. The fan worked GREAT. Problems were:1. our hard water in Tucson left white alkaline residue all over the front of the Fan & it was tough to keep clean, and, 2. Buddy ate through the electrical cord & the Fan stopped working. My Bad! I suggest you cover the cord with hard plastic covering from Lowe’s, because if you have the Fan outside, any kind of outside animal could eat through the cord!
