WindChaser WC163C High-Velocity 16-Inch Outdoor/Indoor Floor-Standing Misting Fan Reviews

• Darn Good.

  The fan works great and at greater distances than I'd have thought. However, it carries some warnings. The first is the usual one about not using an extension cord. The second is very strange. It advises one to wash one's hands after handling the carcinogen laden GFI plug. It's so serious a warning, we are further warned not to remove the tag containing the warning.
  
  The whole device is well made, but it's inconvenient going inside to wash my hands after plugging it in or resetting it. Will anyone really do that? Sure. Every time.
  
  Four stars. It would be five, but the cord is too short, limiting placement options, and the plug will kill me

  I loved this product. It made it possible to sit outside of the pool in 115 degree Arizona sunshine. It was amazing the difference in comfort, with and without the fan. I really like it, and in fact bought one for my sister for her birthday.
  
  Thanks.

• Lack Of Air & To Much Water

  For a high velocity fan it is lacking in comparison with other high velocity fans that we own.
  The misting feature sprays a lot of water. You will get soaked if you are within 10 feet or so from the fan.
  
  

• Only 6 hours of cool!!!!

  This fan is a great idea and it works well - until it breaks!!! Which happened six hours after we turned it on!!! The white metal within the oscillating head seems a bit weak, which is where the mechanism cracked.
  Phone calls to the number listed within the product go unanswered, as does email to info@windchaser.com.
  
  Really disappointed! I paid extra for 1 day shipping, which was equal to half the cost of the fan!!!!
  
  Live and learn!
  
  
  
  

• Unrepairable within 20 minutes

  My fan ran at high speed for a cooling 20 minutes. The fan blades then suddenly let loose with a loud bang, and destroyed part of the protective grid at the back.
  
  Inspection showed that the rotating fan had dislodged the plastic screw holding the blades in place. In the process, the plastic threads that were designed to hold the screw were stripped, so there was no way that the blades could be tightened back into position.
  
  I think it is hardly worth the high cost of shipping this large fan back. I don't want a second one. Use by the manufacturer of inferior materials is the cause for this fan's quick demise.
