'Makes even the hot desert cool': Escape the scorching heat with this misting fan

Think of any western movie you've ever seen where the cowboy stares at the sun, a single bead of sweat rolling down his face. That's kind of what every day this summer has felt like thanks to heat waves, but the Lasko Misting Fan can help bring temperatures down and make the great outdoors enjoyable again. It's perfect for use on your patio or while camping. Right now, it's down to just $154.

This little fan can reduce air temperature by up to 25 degrees — and it'll direct air flow over a wide area, too.

Sometimes, a standard fan just isn't enough. Moving hot air around can be just as miserable, if not more so, than having no air flow at all. The Misto Outdoor Fan doesn't just move air around — it actively cools it thanks to a fine spray of water that can drop the temperature by 25 degrees, according to the brand. All you need to do is hook it up to a water source like your hose. This little guy can make your porch, patio or even your garden a fun place to be again.

It's rain-safe, so you don't have to worry about dragging it inside when summer storms come. There are three fan speeds to choose from, an optional oscillation setting and two different nozzles so you can swap between high and low flow. It plugs in through a GFCI plug, too, reducing the risk of electric shock.

When it's this hot outside, you take whatever advantage you can find. Just check out what these users had to say. "We like to barbecue and eat outside. This fan/mister makes even the hot desert cool enough to enjoy the outdoors. Would buy again!" said one.

Another reviewer echoed that sentiment. "The product was for an outdoor location with plenty of family, both adult and kids. The temperatures were in the upper 80's and low 90's for several weeks so cooling down a large part of the backyard was very important. I placed the misting fans (I purchased two) so that the tables and chairs weren't being sprayed, strategically around the backyard which helped keep the temperatures down to a manageable level. As an added bonus, the kids loved running through the mist which kept them entertained too. It turned out to be a very nice gathering and the fans were just the right choice. I highly recommend them to everyone."

Staying cool has never been easier. Just hook up the hose and reclaim your backyard.
