This is a very powerful fan and sturdy! For that reason it is louder than a lot of other indoor fans might be. And also, the base is pretty heavy and the mist mechanism very concentrated. As it is best suited for outdoor use. But I do use it indoors (without the mist on of course) as it puts out an awesome amount of air flow. The only negative that I have, is that it would be nice if there was an attachment on the post to neatly store the mist tubing on when not in use. As I have to move the fan around a lot from location to location, and the tube was constantly coming uncoiled from around the post and/or dangling on the ground. And eventually got a hole in it.  Possibly even have a clip to attach the water hose itself to the post and connect a shorter tube to it from there, instead of on the ground?
