Currently we use this fan without the misting feature as we only have indoor uses for it. That being said, this is an excellent fan! It really moves a ton of air and can be easily moved and directed wherever it is needed. In the early morning, we set it up next to an open door and it pulls cold air into the house very quickly. The fan is very well made and feels like it will last a lifetime. When I did test the misting, the fan pushed way too much water through the misting nozzles. In retrospect I should tried controlling the water flow using the included valve.
