I live in Florida and it gets really hot here... I use this fan in my garage when working on my cars or jamming on the drums. It's pretty strong and handles the heat very well. The price is a bit steep, but the fan is very well built, and it is also waterproof, so it I hope it will handle harsh Florida humidity and last me a long time. I only wish it had one extra fan setting, cuz even on the lowest speed is still pretty strong in some cases when you don't need all that power.
