Can this fan be used outdoors?

No. We ordered it for that reason and while the online description was not clear, the directions/instructions inside the box were very clear that it was for INDOOR use only. We returned the fan since we needed an outdoor use fan.

I would think "yes" however, I suggest looking at the operating instructions for your fan to make sure that you can't damage the motor by reducing the electric current. I currently use this outdoor for deck lighting which I have 4-5 strings of lights attached for dimming.

I have the fan outside under a canopy. It seems like a very good fan. It is very quiet and works well. I can't see any problems with it. Chris

No, this fan is only for indoors. It is so very good looking that the outdoors will ruin it.

I do not think this is for use outdoors--I believe is is for indoor use only but you could check with the manufacturer.

Since the information on this unit says nothing about it being rated for outside, I'm making an assumption it's only good for indoor use. I have this unit in my master bedroom and like it very much. Nice looking, fairly quiet and the closest ceiling hugger fan I've found to date.

I've had this for so long now I've forgotten if this was an inside/outside fan. Best to ask the mfg to be sure. Sorry.

I do not think this Vornado shop fan would work well outside. Of all the Vornado fans that I have I was disappointed in this fan. I think it needs a room for the air to bounce off of. This fan does not put out the air that I would expect from a shop fan.

This fan is only rated for indoor use as the motors are not sealed for damp us and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

Yes I am convinced it can. The fan is well constructed and once it is installed maintains the solid construction. It is quite and moves the air effectively. My only concern would be if the screen porch receives moisture from say ocean breeze it would corrode as would most appliances.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

This fan is powerful enough to be used outdoors, but like anything made of metal, it will eventually corrode. Being black in color dirt or rust will not as noticeable.

Hello! Unfortunately, this particular fan is not rated for wet locations. Monte Carlo does have a similar looking item that is rated for outdoor use. That number is #5WF42BK. Please let me know if I can help in any other way. Lighting and Locks Beth

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

I love this fan, but it is not an outdoor fan. I have three of them now, and I would buy five more for my porch if it were rated for outdoors.
