due to design issue, low speed is not low enough and the five pieces of fans, there is a bit noise which bothers me. Other than that, it is very light with a good price. Some trad off you may consider...

the fan is about 12 inches across. It may be underszed for a patio. Indoors it works great

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

For the size of the fan it move a lot of air. Installed 2 on my patio instead of 1 large fan giving better area air movement control. I would install these fans again.

This would probably not work as a cooler in the summer. The temperature settings range from hot to warm. You can't just use it as a fan, it will still blow warm air out.

I used mine on the patio with temps in the high 80's...but only for a day. Personally I wouldn't keep it out very long in either extreme.

This is not an air conditioner. It's a very good fan. Cooling a room down has several factors unknown to me. So, we enjoy ours because it is unique and it allows air to move in the space it is placed. If you need that to happen, then will enjoy it as much as we have. So much, we ordered a 2nd one. Good luck!

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.

Technically, it's an indoor fan but assuming the patio cover is full covered and free from leaks or risk of water exposure I don't see why not.

The fan isn't made for outdoor use. That being said will it have a chance to get wet?

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

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.

It works pretty well in a small room. It exchanges the air over a period of time. I don't think it works well when there is lots of humidity outside. This is not a high velocity fan!

You could-- just don't overload it with wood. This will hold a lot of wood, so you'll generate a lot of heat and you might not be able to get far enough away. But it would be perfect for that space on a cool evening! I have mine on a 10x10 patio and haven't had any issues.

We are using this fan in our three season porch. It is not an outdoor fan. We love it!

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.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed
