is it waterproof? Say used as a cool mist blower?

No. It's an open electrical motor in the duct with the blade attached directly to the motor. If mist was ran through it, I believe it wouldn't last long before shorting out.

Does the motor appear to be sealed? I think people are making up stuff to "ask."

I use it in the shower and it stopped working after 5 uses. I'm not sure how waterproof this thing really is...maybe just water resistant.

I've used it outdoors in the rain and no issues. I can see nothing on it that is subject to water issues... it's like a lawn mower, or snow blower in that regard as far as how I've used it.

I've used it frequently outdoors while camping. Yes, it can handle moisture, but it is intended to be water resistant, not waterproof. It has been fine when rained on briefly but I have never completely submerged it.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

It is not water proof nor is it meant necessarily for outside use... I have not used it outside. I also feel the dirt and dust that could get into it would be a problem. It would work outside, if you have a place to plug it in, I just don't think it will last outside. Also I'm just a consumer so...

No, it not waterproof. Yes it can be used outside, just don't get it wet! I use mine all the time outside!! Yeah, electronics and water don't mix too well.

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

No, it's an evaporative. You won't see the vapors like with a mist humidifier.

My husband said no, it shouldn't be used as a wet vac. We use it only to blow out the lines to close the pool.

It's not waterproof if that's what you're asking, but otherwise YES. I bought it specifically to use on camping trips as an on-site electrical source and for inside my tent. Worked great! I even connected it to a longer extension cord at times. No heat output so that's good. Hope this helps!

Dear Sir or Madam;Thank you for your recent inquiry. I apologize but The Evaporative Misting Fan is for outdoor use only to be connected to a standard hose. Please let us know if you would like further assistance. Thank you and have a great day.

Yes, it's waterproof and I've used it under water. However, it needs a diffuser or all you're going to see are any specs and bubbles in the water. Any piece of frosted plastic will do.

Nope! It is a very fine mist and with any circulation of air you won't have any trouble. Really great humidifier for small room or travel!

Yes, it is. It delivers a fine mist or vapor into the air, like a cool mist humidifier. It is NOT FOR MEDICAL USE.

Outdoor use is fine only under circumstances where the humidity is very low and the fan is never exposed to rain or moisture. It certainly moves enough air for outdoor use.
