Amazon experience - 5 Stars. Had an issue with the first unit sent out, but was able to quickly and easily return and receive a new one. Rarely do I have to return products bought on-line, so when it happens, it's something I dread. The feeling of having to repackage and ship the item back (especially one of this size) is daunting. Not with the enormously efficient process that Amazon has. Click on your transaction history, print the return label, stick it on and drop it off at the local post office. I'm sold on buying anything from Amazon due to this great process. Also, the new unit was shipped the minute I "registered" it as a return!

Windchase fan - The first fan didn't operate as intended, but must have just been a manufacturer defect. Given that... The fan took about 5 minutes to put together, and runs great! For anyone who has experienced one of these at a theme park or the like, you know how refreshing it feels on a hot summer day. Bought this one for my pregnant wife while she's out on the patio with our two year old, and it's a hit.

Positives - Runs very well, cools down a large area, and has a certain "cool" effect in that your friends and neighbors will be jealous :-) Also, as mentioned prior, Amazon.com service!

Negatives - The head unit is very difficult to move up and down without feeling like you are going to snap it off. Not sure if anyone would understand this, but try adjusting one of your normal oscillating fans at home and the head moves pretty easily up and down. Then try it on this unit and it doesn't appear to move nearly as easy. The weight of the fan portion is pretty heavy, so perhaps this is the reason. Or it could just be me. Just a design nitpick, nothing that I'd say to keep away from.

This fan is wonderful. I live in Houston and normally don't "sit" outside between June and October, but this fan has changed that. It really does cool things down. One tip, I bought a little turn off valve at the hardware store that goes between the garden hose and the hose on the fan so that I don't have to walk all the way around the side of the house to turn off the water. That way I can leave the water on all day and just turn it on at the fan when I want to sit outside. The fan was extremely easy to put together. The price was also the lowest I found. Fast delivery. Excellent product. I highly recommend it.

This fan works great. One warning: you don't need to turn the water on very strongly at all. If you do, you'll blast the little feeder hose right out of its connector. And, unless you have an electrical outlet right next to where you want to position the fan, you WILL have to use it with an extension cord even though the instructions tell you not to. No big deal, but you should get the heavy-duty cord with the three-prong socket, because that's what the fan has.

Yes, you get a little damp from the spray, but in 110+ degrees and almost zero humidity, that's OK. This fan is great. It is stronger than most home fans of this type, and it cools the air by at least 20 degrees. If you live in a dry, hot, desert climate, I highly recommend you get one.

i have had for two weeks and have run 1 hour a day ..works very well ..would purchase again ...

The fan was shipped right away and we used it for the first time during a Hawaiin Luau party at our house during the summer in Phoenix. It worked great and everyone loved it. Made the heat a little more bearable for those that wanted to sit outside. I would definitely recommend this fan to everyone! Well worth the money!

I received this item and three weeks later it did not work. The reset button kept going off. I contacted Amazon.com they put me in contact with the seller, I returned the item per their request. I am still waiting for a replacement which they tell me is out of stock.
When the fan worked, it did a nice job.

The mister is efficient - the noise factor can get in the way - you are not able to keep the fan stable it has to rotate or the mister doesn't work as efficiently as it could - I prefer overhead misters to this - it got us thru the hottest days this summer.

This fan cooled well. Highly recomended. I made the right choice.

Looks cheap; experienced excessive vibration when first turned on, but seemed to work OK. Next time I turned it on, it WOULD NOT operate at all. Looks like a total waste of $120.48.
