Is this an indoor/outdoor fan?

No,this is an indoor fan only; however, it is a nice fan. We bought it to put on our screen porch but ended up using it in our den.

Fans well worth the money I've had it for quite some time. No it isn't an outdoor fan.

I think it's meant for indoor only. As mentioned below, though, I wonder how it would fare on a screen porch. I'm thinking the main problem would be accumulated moisture in the various internals, plus it would probably hold dust, dirt and cobwebs a lot more than others due to the textures of the blades.

It's really an indoor however I have one inside and two outside in covered porch. I added the ones outdoor this year so I'll know next year if they held up. So far so good

This is an indoor fan, It works great and I've had it for quite some time. Well worth the money. It has a bamboo type fan blades I wouldn't use this unit outdoors.

Yes, it is, plus has a remote and 3 speeds. I love this fan. Quiet and attractive. Takes up so much less room than those old fans on a stand. Great value for the price! Definitely recommend it.

As with any fan blades rotating, there is noise. With this one, there is a very light humming noise inside the house. On the outside however, you can hear the air blowing through the gable opening, especially at peak sunlight. I would rate it as a "quiet" fan but for sure, it is very much dependent on proper installation and proper air flow.

I keep my fan outdoors on a covered patio. I seldom turn it off in hot weather. My neighbor also has several of these fans on his patio. No problems so far.

I have the fan outside under a canopy. It seems like a very good fan. It is very quiet and works well. I can't see any problems with it. Chris

It's a pretty good fan. I put mine in the backyard to cool my dog when she goes out in the summer, but I'm sure it would work indoors too. And you can't beat the price

The documentation that came with Hunter Fan 53091 states that the fan is rated for INDOOR use. There are other models that are rated for outdoor use but please look up the manufacturer's warnings. Some outdoor fans are rated for DAMP conditions while others are rated for WET conditions. Please do your research before purchasing your outdoor fan.

Hi Donald. The AC has a fan setting that will act as a regular fan to bring in the outside air. I have been using this AC for about 1 year now and it is really up to the job of cooling. Especially like the energy save setting. Use it at night.

As long as you have a standard fan housing, it would be possible to use this fan outdoors. However, I would not recommend it since the blade material is wood and the housing is not designed for outdoor usage. This means that the blades will eventually droop and the internal components will corrode; this process will be accelerated if you live in a place with relatively high humidity.

I'm pretty sure it is not an outdoor fan. It is definitely different than ones I have seen on porches

From the way I interpret the specs is that the fan is suitable for damp locations. I have installed them on a screen porch that is exposed to high humidity. The fans look and work great, and I think that they would look just a good indoors. The fact that they are rated for damp locations does not preclude their installation indoors.

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.

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

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.

I personally wouldn't use this fan outdoors ... I think the beautiful finish and the wood blades would get ruined pretty quickly in the elements, depending on your environment.
