Lasko Misto 15" 3-Speed Pivoting, Powered Louvers Outdoor Misting Fan 7050

Have had only 1 month, but out of the box this has been fantastic! Can run fan only or use fan plus misters. Fan has 3 speeds. High speed is really strong. Has louvres that provide horizontal oscillation when activated. Can manually adjust vertical direction. Misters put out a very fine mist. The fan disperses the mist and the mist cools the air coming from the fan, resulting in a very nice overall temp reduction over our ~15'x15' covered patio area, without water puddling everywhere or feeling like sitting under a sprinkler. Some surfaces in the area were slightly damp after 1-5 hours of continuous use, but some dampness should be expected when spraying water into the area. The great thing about the Misto is, it has been much better than expected. A couple of other “misters” I have tried, leave a puddle of water on all surfaces within 10 minutes of use. I can't speak for reliability yet, but so far loving this purchase.

Have had it for a week, so can't say how long it will hold up. But it does the job we bought it for--cooling outside areas on the hottest NJ summer days. It does make a difference. Set up is no big deal. Like the thing...It did arrive in a box that had been re-taped, which leads me to believe Walmart sent me a returned item. I've had bad experiences when this happens--one time got a power washer in a re-taped box that actually had water inside it! I wish they would not send out returns.
