DR.PREPARE Outdoor Misting Fan Kit, 16.4ft Mist Hose Mister Fan, Water Misters for Cooling for Patio backyard, Portable Misting System, Independent Valve for Control

5 stars in spite of imperfections because (a) it could not be easier to set up, and (b), the entire concept is flawed, and I don't think anything could do better.Open the package. There's a loop with spray nozzles and a long hose which connects to a faucet. The only real trick is -- how to you hang it on the front of your fan? Once you have that figured out, it's a 30 second process. I used an S-hook, but you have to make sure it won't get in the way of the blades. You could use tie-wraps, but then have to cut them off. String would work. All sorts of things will work.As for defects: it does drip a bit where it connects to the hose bib. Almost made me wonder if it has non-standard threads, but it doesn't.But ... the whole concept is flawed, because .... wind. If you put the fan at a comfortable distance, the lightest breeze diverts the cooling spray. It is really hit and miss. And if the wind comes from behind, you get less mist and more spray, and you start to worry about the book or magazine you are reading, wondering if it will get water spots, or even have pages stick together.If you put the fan close enough to keep it on target, you get more spray than mist, and my fan at least doesn't have a low enough speed to keep it gentle. The nozzles have serrated sides as if to provide a good grip to adjust them, but I can't turn them by finger, don't want to take pliers to them, and I think the wind is still the biggest problem, and unfixable.I will keep using it. If the dog or squirrels chew it up, I will probably buy it again. But think about the wind and whether it will work for you.

This works! I was skeptical! Yes, you may feel some of the mist and get slightly wet, but not "been in the pool" wet. It's a mister, after all! It was SUPER easy to place on the fan. It comes with the zip ties, which work very well! Note, you'll want to place this on a fan that you may not use inside. It can still be used without the mister, even though it's installed, if you are okay with it.

On a hot day, this mister is a godsend. Its simple to attach to a fan, but the hose connection leaks. It would be 5-stars without that problem, but its good for the price

I’ve been using this with a pedestal fan on my patio going on 3 years now. I usually replace the clogged nozzles before using for the season as they are cheap and easier ti replace instead of cleaning. I’m impressed, I spent $25 on this and $25 on the fan. I’ve seen similar setups for sale $100+.Last year I took this with me campy at a state park. I hooked it up to the campsite faucet and turned on the fan in 100 degree heat. The park ranger saw it blowing mist from a ways away and made me shut it off “for reasons I should understand”. I don’t think it was over wasting water as much as it was over other campers seeing it and getting one for themselves!

These had to be mounted with zip ties which made the installation a little more difficult. When I want to remove the mister from the fan I have to cut the zip ties and then buy more zip ties to re-install. The fittings were leaking when I hooked it to water and turned the water on. All fitting were loose and had to be adjusted in order for it to fit properly. Someone without mechanical background would have just returned them thinking they were not working properly but luckily my step father fixed these. Since fixed they work great! I only wish they had some type of clip to hook them to the fan instead of using zip ties.

No instruction, wets everything in it's path, couldn't turn it down enough to stop it.

Works great!!!! Keeps you cool!

Very inexpensive way to cool off in the backyard a mister in the fan it was 90° and cool in the backyard lol
