I bought this for our deck in the heat of summer, wanting to be able to spend time outside again. First thing, a 24" wall fan is LARGE. It is industrial quality and would be great in a greenhouse, gym or outdoor area but relatively large areas because even on low, with the misters this fan will soak anything within 7-8'. Past that it's a very pleasant mist that moistens but doesn't drench. I'd say the sweet spot is 10-12' from the fan.
