Would this be an okay product to use in a breezeway? I'm a little concerned about problems due to temperature changes.

It is built of compressed wood (Fiberboard), and very weak at that. Would not stand up to outside use.

I have one in the garage and it works great out there. In Michigan we have very cold weather.

I would think that the temperature changes wouldn't bother. I would be worried if it gets moist, however.Kenneth Willson

No, we were told that it should be fine by our heating and cooling installer. However, if it is a a lit of the fins, it can affect air flow. I would check with your installer to be safe.

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

Outdoor use is fine only under circumstances where the humidity is very low and the fan is never exposed to rain or moisture. It certainly moves enough air for outdoor use.

Well, I use this dehumidifier in my house of 1000 sq. feet - and although I know it may be too small for it - I was looking for something that wasn't an energy hog - it does cost me $20.00 a month but it did remove moisture in the air. My house is sealed up tight with new windows so I wasn't battling the outside elements. I would say for your size it would be fine - just know it runs all the time - the fan runs and the compressor shuts off when it reaches a desired level. Hope this helps Dave

I live in a large loft with alot of living space. We have a sliding steel door that is the only thing separating us from the elements outside. I've opted to run this inside and so far so good. I'd say as long as you have a lot of ventilation you will be just fine. Also, the wick should be cut enough to not give off any toxic soot - so keep it short.

I use my fan in my garage. I am located in Southeast Georgia, and relative humidity is always very high. I have not had any problems with its operation or with it rusting. I am glad I bought this fan, and I think you will be happy with the performance and the esthetics. I would recommend it for under a porch awning.

It should be fine the breeze should move through with no problems. I'm going to be doing exactly that camping on the beach in about a month so will know better when I return.

I use this all year in my RV, even in the summer months when it is very humid. The unit does put out a small amount of warmth (not hot at all), but nothing strong enough to work against your AC. While it may make a small room heat up if you place it in there and close the door, placing it in the main part of your house where there is more air flow, you will not notice any difference.

I can't really answer because the windows that I used it on are in my downstairs which is always cold. That's why I bought it. To keep the heat in. But so far when it's been in the 90's and it has been nice and cool. The true test will be in July.

Hi JJ, Thanks for the question. Must be getting warm in Miami now, right? Anyway, The Casablanca Isotope 52 is UL Listed for Indoor use only, so it is not designed to be exposed to moisture or harsh elements. Do not install this fan outside your house. It is also not recommended for bathrooms that have a shower or tub or laundry rooms, both of which produce excessive amounts of moisture. We hope this answers your question. If you need anything else JJ, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Go Heat!

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

I really don't have experience using it in FL weather/humidity. It has worked well for us in less heat/humidity.

"Ideal" ? Probably not. How much air do you need to move? That is your question. I believe this fan was designed and sized for Kitchen service and it does a good job for that. However you need a better handle on your airflow requirements. I suspect you need a larger more utilitarian fan. You also may not need a finished decorator faceplate for utility service. This is more important if in a hot climate (outside heat-gain), welding or expect engine exhaust fumes. "

That back motor is really weak. If there is any kind of breeze, even from a fan, it will just not work. There probably is a better motor you can buy, but that is beyond my knowledge. Best of luck

i think it would be great for that... i used it at a baseball game here in the 100-110 degree weather and it was awesome so i feel it would be even better in a smaller less brutal heat area...for the price and the product positives it is worth it

The fan is powerful and should have no problem keeping the area cool, but keep in mind in high humidity it can get clogged after a month or so.
