Believe this is indoor only. Usually it says in description if it can be used outdoors.

Not an answer, but a question...did you find a fan which is UL rated for wet locations? I'm looking for one that will be on our patio outdoors as well and can't seem to find anything here on Amazon.

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

My Dear Lasko 2521 Oscillating fan user...Hello Anne T. Yes it could be used outdoors but who would want to. I wouldn't want to. if it works for you then, by all means go ahead, that just plum tickles me all over the place, just be careful where you plug it in and not near where water is present. Enjoy your 3 speed Lasko Oscillating fan.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

I've had this for so long now I've forgotten if this was an inside/outside fan. Best to ask the mfg to be sure. Sorry.

The fan isn't made for outdoor use. That being said will it have a chance to get wet?

Yes I only use the fan outside. You have to put the tube on the fan if you want to mist. It is a very good fan I love it outside or in its really powerful.

This fan is powerful enough to be used outdoors, but like anything made of metal, it will eventually corrode. Being black in color dirt or rust will not as noticeable.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

Not at all. First, even on high, it has almost no power. You need to be right in front of it to even know it's on. Second, in order for this fan to cool the room down, the air outside has to be much cooler than the air inside. If it's hot outside, it will merely bring that hot air in and weakly circulate it. I find this fan useful ONLY when it's cool outside--like at night.

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

I do not think this Vornado shop fan would work well outside. Of all the Vornado fans that I have I was disappointed in this fan. I think it needs a room for the air to bounce off of. This fan does not put out the air that I would expect from a shop fan.

According to the manufacturer, this fan should NOT be used in damp or wet locations.

Unfortunately this cannot be used outdoors as the motors are not sealed for damp use and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City
