How does this fan perform outdoors - not damp rated?

Not sure, I am having somebody come in and install it on the 8th of April. When it was delivered the outside of the box was pretty beat up, so I don't know what it look like since I haven't unpacked yet.

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.

Yes it is.. Great fan I use it in the outdoors and i still feel the fan wind even against the strong air winds from mother nature.. I would reccomend..

I used it as a fan for a few days when the weather warmed up a bit. It kept me comfortable. I never used it near the window, so i can't say how well it will do, but the speed it has on fan is the same as the medium speed in our box fan. Hope this helps.

Mine has not had any problems, we live in eastern NC which has high humidity, very good fan.

I only use it outdoors and the reason I bought it. But, if I were to purchase another outdoor mister I would get a rotating upright fan. This will cool only one person and you need to be close to it so you can get wet.

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.

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.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

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.

We use it on outside on our deck. With the usual outdoor noises, we have never noticed any fan noise. Fan is attractive and we like it.

i used it in a house in west texas in summer, temps over 100 degrees.... perhaps you can look at the website to see what the warranty info on the structural plastic parts might be? the only problem we had was caused by lack of proper air flow... it really needs to have the fan going to dry everything quickly

It's a low cost fan so it's not super quiet. Since use is limited, it's not objectionable.

I don't believe that this fan is rated for outdoor use, but that is not where I was installing this fan.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

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