What about patio use?

Sandy, I can only guess, but if your in an area where the dew point is low and you are directly in the air flow it should cool you. At 10 ft. away the sweep of the cooler is about 6 ft. to maybe 8 ft. wide. Hope this is some help to you.

If your patio is enclosed it will be great. You will have to sit right in front of it if your patio is open. It does have oscillation in the fan. So that is helpful to cool down everywhere.

It would be ideal for outdoor use. Approximately every eight hours of use requires a gallon replenishment of water into the water holding compartment.

Hi Sandy, Like I said this hardly blew out any cool aire. I wouldn't recommend it all. I didn't use it outdoors, but I can't imagine that it would be any more efficient outside than in. However, I do think that you might not mind the noise as much outdoors as you might indoors.

works great on my covered patio, Have been using it about a year outside. I dont let the controls on top get wet.

I'm not sure. The reason it is not as good as an air conditioner is because it does not dehumidify. A would be better.

It works just fine as long as the humidity is not too high. Much more comfortable than just a fan! I fill it with the hose when we use it on the patio, makes filling it up easy.

I tried it in a small room and it didn't do anything. I set up a couple of fans on either side of the room and I can definitely feel a difference. So, unless you can return it if you don't like it, I'd skip it and just use fans.

I don't see why you couldn't put it on a patio, but you might have drainage issues if you have it on a solid surface like that where the water can't drain away. You wouldn't need a base - the patio would be the base. You could put a layer of landscape or weed fabric down I guess to keep the soil off the patio. But again, the biggest concern is going to be drainage if your patio is concrete or any other solid, non-draining surface.

I believe that most people consider the canopies are most helpful as shade providers and, in general, are used at times when it isn't raining. I did experience one time when my yard sale was rained on. Rain water did collect some above the side bars, but water did not penetrate through the roof.

I purchased the patio set...if this is what you're interested in I could take a pic and send? We love the set, its comfortable and more modern in appearance.

An enclosed patio would be best. It does use a pump, and some like to add a timer - these of course need electricity and protection from elements.

No I don't think using it outside is wise. Unless being used in a covered area outside where water will not be able to get into the top area. Top is open - apart from wood framing, the cover is plastic so don't really think it will stand up much to sun, rain and wind elements.

I have it on my patio but to tell you the truth, I wouldn't buy it. I doesn't seem to do anything

If the patio is enclosed I would assume that it would work, but the device itself is not weather resistant. You make want to look into the ones that are made for outdoor use.

I use mine on the patio. You could use it in a basement if there is a drain in the floor. The leg span on mine will not fit into the bathtub.

I wouldn't say it's good for that because of the pressure. Great for garden watering and the hose is light so easy to stretch out long distances. I don't think you can add another attachment to the hose to make the pressure better though...so I wouldn't suggest it for the patio washing.

We use the squeegee feature on our patio. We don't have animals, or hardwood floors, so we don't use it inside the house.

Yes. We use it just as we would use a non-portable stand on our back patio. It has worked very well.

I don't think it would last very long if it was directly exposed to rain and sun. It would be fine outside under a covered patio.

My patio is covered ... and it works fine. In fact, having a cover limits the paths birds can use to get in, and it might work better.

I have a patio that is approximattely 30' x 20' and I use 2 units which covers the active areas (approx 10' x 10' picnic table area and 10' x 10'' grill area) of the patio well. So, I'd recommend 1 unit per approximately each 10' x 10' area. I agree with others that wind definitely plays a factor (reduces coverage effectiveness).

It shouldn't be a problem. The legs are coated so wouldn't rust any worse than patio furniture. Beware of pipes freezing.

I took out a 10x10 patio and part of a sidewalk. Slow going as it is not industrial, but it should do the job. I still have mine and it is in good shape.
