Would this fan handle a humid outdoor location, I want to mount it on a covered patio, it would not get wet, it would just be humid.

Depends on the patio size,,,10 x10 ok 10 x 20 maybe 2 would do,,,overheads would work better.......

An air cooler would not be effective in a humid environment since its effectiveness comes from the air being dry. You should go for an air conditioner instead other wise you wont be feeling cool

I'm no expert, but living in Houston, I do have some experience with humidity. My guess is it would not hold up well outdoors, even under cover. It is essentially bent plywood, and I can see that uncurling in a couple years of our 90% plus humidity.

It is make for indoor use I do believe but depends on how well it would be shielded from rain. I have similar fans outside in our pool house that are in a screened enclosure that have operated for almost 20 years with no problem other than the dirt builds up on the blades fast. Keep it clean and away from direct rain and it will be OK.

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.

The same way it works outside. You put water in the tank, the water circulates across the corrugated paper in the back and when the air is pulled across, it cools it. But as others have said, it doesn't work near as well as they advertise if you live in a humid area. Expect 4-6* cooler then a regular fan (since I don't live in anywhere else, I can't comment). Doesn't sound like much but I promise, if you are sitting in the breeze, you'll be fine but when you get up, you'll realize just how much better it is then a regular fan.

I would not suggest this for outside. I think extended outdoor humidity would not be int the best interest.

It has vents for cooling off, but I don't know how it would be in a humid climate. We live in the high desert.

Mine is hung outdoors, in a sunny location. It is there, rain or shine. I would be skeptical of hanging it in a humid environment in the shade.

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.

With this fan being mostly plastic construction, it would be ideal for the patio as long as it is not exposed to the elements (rain). The fan guard is all plastic and will not rust like the metal ones that also become a nighmare to remove also. Humidity is a killer for most electronics so you may not get the same life out of it compared to if it was located indoors. At the current price, it is a no-brainer.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

Hello! Unfortunately, this particular fan is not rated for wet locations. Monte Carlo does have a similar looking item that is rated for outdoor use. That number is #5WF42BK. Please let me know if I can help in any other way.Lighting and LocksBeth

The fan is good in damp but not wet conditions.As long as it is out of the rain & snow it should be okay. We have it I the house & love it.

I purchased this fan for an outdoor patio earlier this year and have had no problems with it. My previous fan had rusted over the years, but since this is made for the outdoors , am hoping to avoid this problem. Have received lots of compliments on the sleek look. Hope this helps!

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

I think it would be safe for patio. Not sure about moisture.., it has a wood table surface which is pretty smooth so condensation could possibly be an issue?? Sorry hope it
