I want to be able to run my fantastic fan when it is raining without having the rain come in. Will this work for that?

Yes. It will mount to a non-fan vent with out a problem.It will keep the rain out. And it works (allows air to circulate) while driving down the road.

No idea. I have been using one in my basement window for years. If the rain starts coming in, out comes the fan.

That should work, you might want to consider getting the variable speed control made by the same company and simply replaces the power cord that comes with the fan. Make sure it isn't too close to the water.

yes. you only want humidifier on when fan is funning. you will need a 12 v transformer.

Plug it in and don't worry at all...use the wall-mount bracket that comes with the fan. Don't leave it out in the rain. That's it. I can tell you; this fan will work very well at making the air too breezy for insects. Use it.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

I used this fan to move dampness out from under house after a water pipe leak. It is best not to use in early morning and at night time when the humidity is high. It has some automated controls, but I do not trust them and just turn mine off and on when I feel it the best time. You have to have a second open, unblocked vent to draw in drier air and an open vent to mount in over on in for it to work best. As others have said, there is no damper and wind could blow back from the outside if the fan was turned off. For me that is no problem. Good luck.

Not at all. First, even on high, it has almost no power. You need to be right in front of it to even know it's on. Second, in order for this fan to cool the room down, the air outside has to be much cooler than the air inside. If it's hot outside, it will merely bring that hot air in and weakly circulate it. I find this fan useful ONLY when it's cool outside--like at night.

I keep my fan outdoors on a covered patio. I seldom turn it off in hot weather. My neighbor also has several of these fans on his patio. No problems so far.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

Yes, you could, however I don't think I'd recommend it. I've found on some hot humid days/nights, the fan will come on by itself and stay on for hours. It's because the attic geats so hot. This pulls the air conditioned air out of the house, so we always manually shut it off after it does it's (great) job of removing humidity during a shower etc.

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

Should this fan work great when the power is out ran on a generator? Ore could some one recommend a better one it gets hot in the summer in Houston. I will have a window ac but want to help push the cool air. Thank you.

You can run it as long as you have air flow out. Also, you will not be able to use the rain guard which runs down at a angle. Just don't install that piece but the main thing is air flow and that should not be a problem. It's a great unit.Joe R.

sure, as long as you put a roofe over it? :) My guess is that you wouldn't want to run it directly in the rain ... the plugs are obviously not covered for starters, so, when it's running, it seems like it'd blow right away ... not to mention the other parts are exposed too ..

While it may be what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend it. This fan is not weatherproof and is also not sealed. It would allow both bugs and airflow to come in through the gaps even when it's not running. Plus many exterior walls are too thick for this fans maximum thickness setting. Good luck though.
