Worth its weight in gold

When the Texas heat wave hit this year, I started looking for an anti-fog fan that could be installed in front of my house near the patio. Every industrial mist fan I've come across has been insanely expensive and I wasn't willing to pay, and usually the mist ring had to be purchased separately. While searching, I came across this fan (16 inch version), which is not only weatherproof and anti-fog, but also portable, battery-powered, and able to charge my electronic devices. This fan is well built, well thought out and has reasonable power to move air. I love the power indicator around the power button that lets you know how much power you have left. I also like that the fan feels pretty solid since the rear grill is metal and not plastic. I also noticed that you can plug in a fan and charge it while you work. When plugged in, it gets a small boost in performance and expels more air. After running the fan continuously at high power on battery power, it ran for about 3 hours, about 2 1/2 hours, though it started to lose power and slow down a bit. The defog function of this fan also works very well and the range is good. The mist comes out really well and does a great job of keeping me cool without getting me wet. So far I'm liking this fan and I'm excited to see how it holds up over time and how long the battery lasts. I don't regret this purchase one bit. If the price confuses you a bit, don't be disappointed, a good fan in the summer heat is worth its weight in gold. Update: 6/4/2021: The fan still works and works fine. The only two caveats I have are that when I occasionally tilt the fan down, it doesn't want to stay in place. There should be adjustment knobs on the sides that I can tighten to keep the fan at a specific angle. Another thing I noticed is that it's almost impossible to find a replacement charging adapter with the exact specs. After accidentally stepping on my adapter I figured no problem, I'll just get it online and turns out I was wrong. The closest replacement adapters I could find were the adapters used for some Dyson Vacuum models that have almost the same power ratings, except for a slightly lower amperage. I ended up buying one of these types of adapters and it works great, but it seems difficult to keep the fan fully charged while it's running.
