Can this fan be left outside?

Sorry, I cannot answer that question. I do advise against buying that model, however. I bought 3 and returned all because the parts were the wrong shape to allow assembly.

This fan is Very Well Made; however, I don't think it is for outside use.I use it in my garage and the fact that it has THREE speeds is nice.

I leave my out under my awning connected to my shop, but don't think I would leave it out in the weather.

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.

No this is not the outdoor version of the Original fan. You would want the 23847 Damp rated fan. I don't think Amazon has it right now.

I am not an expert. It is an indoor fan and cannot be exposed to rain or saltwater wind. Maybe it will be ok for a while to use on a roof covered porch or patio, but it will definitely rust away. I PERSONALLY WOULD STAY AWAY FROM OUTDOOR USE.

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 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.

You must allow air flow keep the unit outside blowing in to the room you are cooling

I would not think so. It has a outlet on the side. That being said, I have a regular wind turbine (walmart) fan outside at my dog pen. It's beenoutside, used for several years, and on all summer(24/7) with no problem.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

To the best of my knowledge, I would have to say, No. In the back of the fan is a safety grill, so to speak, that protects anyone from sticking their fingers into the housing that holds the motor & blades. In addition, there are no visible signs of being able to mount the fan on a wall. You could, however, build a very small lip type shelf, for the fan to sit on, yet, it must be in an area that allows for fresh air to come into that housing, in order to blow cool air from outside to the inside. Check the photos on the site to hopefully visualize what I have been writing here in this description. I suppose nothing is impossible but it is clearly not set-up to hang on a wall...Thanks, Craig Michaels To the best of my knowledge, I would have to say, No. In the back of the fan is a safety grill, so to speak, that protects anyone from sticking their fingers into the housing that holds the motor & blades.

The window can be closed without removing the fan. This is a great fan and has worked really well this year. Also has a reverse function to take hot air out.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

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

We put the fans inside, you could put it outside, I think, if it is well protected from rain. But be prepared for them not to last as long.

The fan housing is painted and protected, the motor is not sealed, 247 outside would shorten the life

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.
