Shark FlexBreeze Fan - Indoor & outdoor oscillating fan, pedestal & tabletop, corded & cordless portable fan with outdoor InstaCool misting attachment - FA222

Why did you pick this product vs others?:To say I love it is an understatement. There are a couple things I geek out over and fans are one of them. I probably have enough to put 2 or 3 in every room of my house. I have not gotten a high tech versatile one before. I also got the cooling attachment which I haven’t used yet. I haven’t even had this fan for 2 hours and I’m already dreaming of all the ways I’ll use it. I do want to take it out in the garden with me. I bought the white version bc it was $20 cheaper but I now worry that I’ll make it dirty outside. Oh well. Also it’s shorter than most oscillating fans, it doesn’t adjust vertically. At first it bothered me but now it doesn’t. The fan is very powerful. I love it.

I LOVE this Fan! We have an old portable evap, but it’s heavy & leaks. I have mobility issues, & can’t lift heavy objects, but I am able to easily move it from inside (as a regular fan), to outside with misters & cordless- garage to back yard!We live on the surface of the sun, AKA Arizona, so keeping cool is a big deal! Especially for individuals with health issues! (It will also help keep the mosquitos off you!)My husband is also a bourbon hunter, now he can take it with him on those camp outs in front of a store all night!Last second comment: it isn’t crazy loud either!Seriously Love this Fan!

This fan does not disappoint. It is exactly what I was hoping for and it arrived just before the recent heat wave. It cools the room down immediately. So quiet. Love the different fan speed settings. Also the different settings for oscillation are an incredible plus. Well made. The individual or individuals that designed it deserve a raise. There is a place for everything. Even the remote control. Use it when you need it, then when you don't put it on the back of the fan. So easy. Loved the color options. The design is very pleasing to the eye. Looks great in our family room. I have not taken it out of the base yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to using it on top of a desk, etc.And the misting option with tank- what an awsome idea!You hit the ball out of the park with this fan.Awesome job, Shark!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The orifice size on the included nozzles is too big, so they do not produce a fine mist. Therefore, you and your surroundings will get wet when using the mister feature. An easy solution is to replace the nozzles with 0.004" (0.1mm) orifice nozzles (I purchased these from Amazon -- 10 pieces for $6.99). The nozzles are easy to replace; just unscrew the original ones and screw in the replacements. The mist is now much finer and my book and I don't get soaked sitting on my patio. On the plus side, the fan seems to be built well and is easy to assemble. Battery life is reasonable. I live in a hot, dry area of Arizona and use the mister when sitting on my patio. It does help me keep cooler, so it serves its intended purpose.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This product came with very robust packaging. The assembly instructions were clear and simple.. everything went together smoothly, exactly as instructed. It was immediately obvious that this was a well planned and well engineered item. I greatly appreciate two things: It can be powered by mains electricity or by rechargeable battery, and the head can be removed and carried with you around the house. The fan is surprisingly quiet, yet it produces a vigorous breeze. It has made a big difference to enduring the intense Arizona summer. Highly recommended.

I really wanted to love the Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan, especially after seeing so much hype on Instagram and Youtube. Unfortunately, after putting it to the test, I have to say this fan did not live up to the lofty expectations set by those reviews and promotional videos. While it has one standout feature, the fan itself falls short, making it not worth the current hype.My primary disappointment lies with the fan's power and reach. Unless you are standing directly in front of the unit, within about 5 feet, you will barely feel any breeze. This is a significant drawback, particularly for outdoor use on a patio where you expect to cool a larger area. Even at its highest "booster" setting, the fan lacks the strength to provide effective cooling beyond a very short range. For my patio, I had to be sitting within 3 or 4 feet of the fan to feel any benefit.The remote control is also confusing. After level 5, which is the booster and natural breeze modes. I had no idea after level 5 what mode I was in. You constantly have to refer back to the manual to decipher what the indicator lights mean.On the positive side, the misting function is truly excellent and worked perfectly. I tested this fan outside in sweltering 100°F weather, and as long as I was within the mist's range (about 5 feet), I felt incredibly cool and refreshed. The mist itself is fine and effective. The water reserve tank also outlasts the battery, which is a good point – after an hour of use, the mister tank was only half empty. Over all for the price I would wait for a prime day or discount, and keep in mind the capability to cool a small space.

This fan/mister made sitting in Vegas heat at a fireworks booth all day bearable. I used the 3rd fan speed and the battery lasted 7 hours. After that we were able to plug it directly into a generator. The water tank seemed to use about a gallon of water every 1.5 hours or so. It does get whatever is nearby wet, but it is a mist of water and welcomed in this heat. When I turned it off to refill the tank you could certainly tell the difference in the temperature. Other volunteers at the booth were impressed and commented on wanting to purchase their own.

We used it for a track and field event. It was fully charged took it out and used the fan + mister. It was GREAT… while it lasted. It went dead within 2.5- 3 hrs. Was it worth $200? In my opinion, not exactly..
