Lasko Misto Outdoor Misting Blower Fan, Ideal for Sports, Camping, Decks & Patios, 3 Speeds, 15", Black, 7050

Just not working, worked only once.

I live in one of the hottest areas of the US, Phoenix. Lots of 115+ degree days this summer. I bought the Misto about two weeks ago, and quite simply, this thing is an absolutely amazing BEAST!!!! I use a stationary recumbent exercise bike on my patio 7 days a week....30-60 min per workout. Even in the early morning hours, temps are hovering around 85-90 degrees, which usually makes for a miserable workout. Impossible at mid-day. The Lasko Misto performs like a champ!! This is not a toy. Positioned about 7-8 ft. from the bike, it immediately drops temps at least 25 degrees, plus the powerful blower makes you feel like you're in a windstorm of mist. Out of the 3 levels of power, I usually run on a 2......more than enough. Now I can go out virtually any time of day, workout hard, and ignore the heat. (The first time that I turned it on, it was 85 outside, and I felt way too cold, since the Misto was only 5 ft. from my bike.) I finally tweaked the distance and angle to perfection. Everything is adjustable, mist output, blower speed, and blower angle. And since the unit is weatherproof, I leave it outside without worry. While I do agree with other posters that you wind up getting somewhat wet, especially after 30 minutes, I am 110% thrilled with this purchase. Kudos to Lasko. And Amazon's price is a real bargain.

Bought this to help for those super humid days - have used it - blows well and mist is nice feature to keep cool on deck when it is so humid - my husband says he feels like he is sailing - wind and mist combo!

Es muy bueno para estar en el jardín pero ya en la terraza deja todo mojado despues de pocos minutos. Le daría 5 estrellas si tuviera repuestos de menor flujo o tapones para cancelar 1 o 2 de los 3 que tiene para poder bajar la intensidad de rocío.

Vraiment un atout et un attrait pour l'extérieur, les visiteurs qui n'aime pas se baigner apprécie vraiment cette attrait, mes chiens en raffole. Je recommande a tout ceux qui aime être différent et intolérant aux grosses canicules. Peux être utiliser comme ventilateur uniquement ou brumisateur sans ventilations. Très polyvalent selon vos besoins.

We live in Woodland Hills, CA., a very hot part of the San Fernando Valley, otherwise known as the "Devil's Armpit" With global warming getting worse each year, our summer heat has become almost unbearable. This past August we hit 121 degrees within two weeks of temperatures in the triple digits. 114 degrees was not uncommon in this period. And while I could hide inside with air conditioning and my other cats, we have an older semi-feral cat who refuses to come in. In the winter I can put out heating pads on the covered porch, and our temps are never that low anyway. But it's really hard to know what to do to help cool the yard in the summer. I've used the hose just to wet things down -- bushes he lays in, etc. -- and I've had a mister in the tree which helps. But when it gets up to120 degrees, it's way beyond uncomfortable, it's a kind of killer heat which I wasn't sure this poor old cat could survive. I could only go out so often to wet his head down with ice. This Mister, really made all the difference in terms of summer survival. It really felt like it dropped the temperature in our yard down by 25 degrees. With the fan flowing, it creates a very strong mist. The first day I tried it was a bit of a disaster I'd aimed the mister straight at the bushes our cat likes to shelter in. The problem was that the bees, apparently also in need of cool water, flooded into the same area. But I found that by moving the mister back a ways, and aiming it more generally in his direction, the bees were not attracted to that one place. With the help of the occilation (at first I didn't think it was working, but I think in retrospect I just wasn't seeing it as the movement is quite subtle and only seen through the slats), I was able to set up the cooling effect over a broader area, less intense but more preferred by the cat. At least I felt the cat had the option for cooling down. I did not measure the temperature directly, but I'm guessing it was lowered from about 120 to the 90's. A big difference. I know our AC was fighting to keep us in the 80's inside. In any case, I'm very grateful to this machine and its inventors. It served a life saving purpose for us. And at least I feel I have some sort of go to way of controlling the temperatures outside. No easy feat!
