Windchaser Outdoor Misting Fan w/ Cover  Product Reviews

"Fan worked well at poolside, but you have to sit at least 8 - 10 feet away or you will get wet. Construction is cheap, with lightweight base and flimsy plastic in critical stress areas. We kept fan covered when not in use, but fan grate and screws started rusting within 6 months. Plastic cracked at rotating shaft housing in our second season, and the fan head finally fell off today. Did not last two full summer seasons."

"The best application for this fan is poolside. You will get a little wet if you sit too close. It sprays a pretty fine mist, but it's not a fog like the good outdoor misters. If you're 10-15 feet away from it, you don't get too damp and it will make it feel 10-15 degrees cooler."

"This fan is a great idea and it works well - until it breaks!!! Which happened six hours after we turned it on!!! The white metal within the oscillating head seems a bit weak, which is where the mechanism cracked. Phone calls to the number listed within the product go unanswered, as does email to info@windchaser.com. Really disappointed! I paid extra for 1 day shipping, which was equal to half the cost of the fan!!!! Live and learn! "

"This Windchaser fan is a great idea but falls short in usefulness. Once we got the two of them set up, the wind continued to blow them over, over and over again. We finally turned them off and left them laying on the ground. We tried again on another day with the same result. The base is far too light to secure these fans. We thought about getting sandbags to put on the base. Inspection of the underside of the base shows plenty of area where weight could be added. If the fans hadn't been scratched and dented from the continual falling over, we would have returned them. We do not recommend buyng them unless you plan to put extra weight on the base to stabilize them."
