Can this fan be used outside?

Unfortunately this cannot be used outdoors as the motors are not sealed for damp use and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

Yes I only use the fan outside. You have to put the tube on the fan if you want to mist. It is a very good fan I love it outside or in its really powerful.

The fan is good in damp but not wet conditions.As long as it is out of the rain & snow it should be okay. We have it I the house & love it.

Not to my knowledge..it is installed in my living room...there are specific fans that state indoor/outdoor usage..their motors are self-contained from the elements.

Hi,The Mika Aire fan you are looking at cannot be used outside. It is a superb fan for indoors and the LED lights nicely. The matching distressed Koa down rod was worth the money since it was a comparable price to a simple bronze rod at your local store.The fan I found for outdoors after reviewing hundreds online, is the Minka Aire 52 in. Concept l outdoor fan. It comes with a wall control that mounts where you remove the switch that now operates your fan, and was simple to install. You can get a remote separately but the switch ended up being fine.

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

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.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.

Gary, My concern would be having the fan exposed to moisture. If you live in a dry area this may not be a problem. I live in Florida so it probably is not a good idea here. Mine is installed in my living room.

No this is not the outdoor version of the Original fan. You would want the 23847 Damp rated fan. I don't think Amazon has it right now.

It can but will probably rust out in a year or so. If you can manage to at least cover the fan itself it will last for 3 to 5 years, or at least it has for me. For full time in weather there are other fans available. Just search online for weatherproof industrial fans. Good luck.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.
