This is a great product. We live in a very hot area of Southern California. No where near the beach and it gets hot! We've had many days over 106 degrees! This fan has helped us be able to utilize our outdoor patio more frequently. It makes sitting outdoors much more pleasant. Cools it down immensely! The mist it sends out really cools down the area. We sit outside more often now. It's like being at a resort that has those misters outdoors.
