Another cool thing about this fan that you hear nobody mentioning is it would also help with bugs/mosquitoes when used outside. Nice review kite army

[@Kitearmy]

Good point - fans are great to keep the mosquitos as bay

[@randyman8984]

@@Kitearmy you ever notice when you walk in some stores, at the front entrance it shoots a shot of air down? thats to keep bugs out of store

[@marcdenlinger5282]

I am a fan of the fan. It will be great for camping, hanging out on the porch and deck and by the pool. It makes the Milwaukee battery powered fan looks like a child’s toy.

[@Kitearmy]

you mean that desktop thing - I was shocked that no other brand makes a fan this large

[@jdharris005]

What is the largest battery that will fit in this fan?

[@Kitearmy]

Egos largest battery - 56v 12Ah

[@StephenGlaesman1978]

I definitely want one....or two!

Andrew or the fan?

[@treebossmike8818]

How easy is it to remove the cover and clean the fan blades? Eventually that will have to be done.

[@rachelcornpeach7441]

What does it mean when the mist indicator is flashing

[@Kitearmy]

it is spraying water - you can toggle it off

[@Mntoyaz]

I am putting this on my wishlist for sitting out back next to the pool in the summer! Great run times indicated in your video! 👍🏼 👍🏼

Hello Kite i was wondering do you have to use the mist function in it or you can just leave it to run like a normal fan?

There is a lot of issues with the mister on the back plate, its a bad design or quality control issue but many crack easy or show up cracked.

[@Kitearmy]

Mine is good - not sure I have heard about a lot of issues.

[@mikehamm1]

Curious how long it takes to go through a gallon of water on constant flow mist.

[@Kitearmy]

3GPH

[@johnkraft5640]

That’s a lot of water an hour. Will need a larger source than a bucket and the pick up line needs to be longer or be able to hook a water hose up.

[@Kitearmy]

@@johnkraft5640 I bet you could hook it up to a garden hose - not a great option but just put a buck their with the water on a slow trickle

[@BennySuds]

So cool! I work on an oyster farm and this would be perfect for the work barge on those hot summer days!!

[@Kitearmy]

Yep - those sweltering hot days are coming

[@philipabasile]

If it’s below freezing like maybe 5 deg F will it make snow ?

[@Kitearmy]

I'm going to give that a try

[@ometofu]

Hmmm I am really happy with ego power adaptor with my dewalt 5000cfm fan. But the misting is another level for sure. Let’s see if it is 199 or less

[@Kitearmy]

The misting is nuts - lowered my humidity in my house in seconds

[@ometofu]

@@Kitearmy lowered? u mean elevated?!

[@johnkraft5640]

Your adding humidity with the misting. May lower the temperature. Not good to use the misting function in the house

can you hook it up to a hose?. do you have hours it will run at other speed settings?

[@jamie8917]

I'm a huge Ego fan and have many of their tools but I don't understand the reasoning behind why they put out a fan (and a light) when there are so many lawn tools they could have come out with that their competition already has. If I need a fan for camping or a power outage I'll use my ego power station and plug in a fan I already have. Next year maybe a should expect an Ego blender and not a lawn dethatcher or pressure washer. Great video but I don't understand where Ego is going with this. It's definitely not on my Ego wish list.

[@Kitearmy]

You make a fair point - I'm waiting for the pressure washer too

[@angrygaragemechanic]

I've got Ego battery and tools but to me this is a pointless tool imo.

[@Kitearmy]

@@angrygaragemechanic not every tool is for every person

[@jeff3183]

The fan is being marketed to people going camping, sporting events with the kids, working on yard projects, patio parties and all have this one major feature... its portable without running 8 miles of cords and it is a mister to cool you off on hot days. My home currently has no outdoor electrical sockets and being the stucco siding it is and the age of it id rather not mess with it at all. So for all the above reasons plus my own, it has a rather large market. Last summer at the local fair someone was pulling this around in a cart watching their kids go on rides. It was 94 degrees out but felt like the mid 70s within the misting range. All that being said, there is a beware situation about the backplate of the mister being faulty/bad design. I think personally easily repairable as a DIY plastic weld.

[@JasonLestage]

Hmmm, as a youth soccer coach, I’m thinking this might be nice for the sidelines on hot days.

[@Kitearmy]

great for that

[@1252PFC]

So I am confused. If this is not available for sale, how did you get hold of it? Was a sponsored review?

[@johnkraft5640]

It is sponsored

[@kennethstewart2865]

Love it!

[@Kitearmy]

Me too!

[@user-eg1sw7kd6g]

I wonder how long it will take before the misters get clogged with buildup from the water? When it does what's the process to unclog them?

[@Kitearmy]

they unscrew for service

[@musicid93]

definitely on my wishlist. i do wish they would’ve added recessed outlet prongs to use an extension cord if you wanted to run it for a really long time on high. a good set and forget option for job site or poolside even

[@savagestash4354]

Would require an additional voltage regulator and increased weight and cost. I own this and it last for hours and hours at sporting events. Goes through quite a bit of water on high, over 3 gallons an hour, but the volume of air moved is quite phenomenal if a bit loud on turbo.

[@musicid93]

@@savagestash4354 yeah after alot of use since i got it, I can say i dont get any battery anxiety with a 5AH+ battery. easily getting a couple of hours out of it. ive used it poolside, sporting events, general outdoor use. Never really worried about it dying on me. always carried a spare battery when away from home for the just in case, but never needed to switch it out for the 2, 3 maybe 4 hours we're out doing whatever. level 3 and 4 are comfortable depending on how far away you have it. 5 is noisy so only really used it for halftime to help team cool off faster. Love it. cant wait for their other tools coming out soon.

[@thereddrumsarerunning8689]

So the fan and battery are 2 separate prices? Is this at Lowe's or home depot

[@Kitearmy]

yeah - I think the fan is sold as tool only

[@SayMyName2wice]

[@brianb1179]

Thanks for the information , I wasn't aware of the self contained pump , like you mentioned , Ego builds nice products , great attention to detail , I have lots of things from them , the most recent was the nexus power station , I'd be curious to know how much noise the fan makes , with the pump running , those runtimes you posted are pretty amazing. 👍 Thank you for another great review Andrew

[@Kitearmy]

Glad you liked it! The noise was not bad - quieter than your standard box fan - no vibrations

Watched plenty of videos but none of them seem to tell you that you have to buy the battery with retails for about $180 and the charger which retails for about $180 separately totally almost $700 for the fan, charger and battery. No wonder I have seen these fans at store marked returned.

[@Kitearmy]

buy a leaf blower and get a blower, charger, and battery for $200 and then you can use the battery on this fan too.

[@MasteringMayhem]

Saw it at my local LOWE’S…it was tough not getting at that moment, I’ll probably get it next time I see it 🙂✌️❤️

[@Kitearmy]

apparently these things are selling like crazy

[@cguy96]

Of course, when you live where it’s high humidity… a misting fan just makes you wetter.

[@Kitearmy]

I see them in Theme parks in FL - pretty humid there - but that's all I know

[@cguy96]

@@Kitearmy They get continuously less effective as humidity rises. At 80% humidity, they can achieve around a 10° temperature drop. But these tend to be commercial units with well-designed and maintained misters. Once the droplet size exceeds something like 10 microns, the droplets no longer undergo flash evaporation. But you are right, when it's 95° out, 85° feels much better. Oh, and inside they can be a problem as they WILL increase humidity, and thus biological growth can also increase leading to potentially unhealthy situations.

[@Kitearmy]

@@cguy96 I noticed the problem with running this inside - my house turned into an instant green house

Hopefully this one doesn't get taken down like the snow thrower attachment video did...

It won't because it is a publicly announced for over a month now on different KZbin videos. Still wish they sell the snow thrower this year though. It would be great for small spaces.

[@Jeo-What]

Thanks for the review of this EGO Mis-tery fan for us. It's listed for 349.00 Canadian so it maybe around $199 ~ $259 US just because Low's in Canada is charging more on EGO products than when they were sold at Home Depot. I hope EGO will do something about it or I am going to buy from US.

[@Kitearmy]

I would do the same thing

[@johnkraft5640]

The reason it cost more in Canada than in the United States is because of your government taxes.

[@johnkraft5640]

Can you hook up a water hose too the fan? ( Good source of continuous water. Does it have to go thru the pick-up line? Can you extend this line? , This will allow a larger container of water? ( such as 25 gallon drum)...A bucket of water will not last that long!!! get testing since you scored one for free
