ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid WHISPER SERIES 12 in. Misting Air Cannon Fan (Tool Only)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product for poolside cooling. Like that it can be battery or plugged in directly. Only 2 misting nozzles, would have liked 1 or two more. Fan power is strong, solid hardware and can be articulated up and down.

I bought this mister fan and have it plugged into an outlet to keep my patio area cool but after 30 mins of run time, the fan will die down and barely spin. I have it mounted on the ceiling, so it’s never in direct sunlight. I’ll have to shut it off and wait for it to cool down, then turn it back on. Really sucks because I like the product, just wish it worked consistently

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago now and it is the best thing ever. You have to take the wind into consideration as that will dictate where the mist goes but it's nice to not always have the mist on you. It is efficient and quiet and makes a hot sweaty day more comfortable if you don't have access to a lake or pool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought this for my birthday gift since I’m a fitness instructor& teach Aqua Zumba outside in the heat. This AMAZING fan has 2 settings for both fan alone&mister. It gives off such good misting air even in setting 1 I felt cooled off for teaching my hour class. Also it has an attachment connected for your water hose if your out gardening or hanging outside. I love that feature! Light weight & comes with a battery& small charger. Absolutely best gift hands down he’s given me!

We live in TN. It’s dangerously hot right now for our dogs. We got this to cool them while they play on their trampoline. It feels incredible to them and me too because I can’t take the heat either. They’ll stand in front of it and hold their chins up just enjoying the cool mist blowing on their faces. Extremely happy with this purchase! Recommend to everyone that doesn’t mind getting wet from the mist, it’s heavy & feels fantastic! Thanks Ryobi, for making affordable products that last & last!

This mister is an upgrade from the original. It is larger, it shoots the mist about twice as far. It has a real place to put the batteries, the cover is spring loaded and will hold a 9amp battery. It is slightly quiter than the old mister. This mister connects directly to a hose, and has no bucket feature. You can also plug it in - it did not come with a cord or a battery. It is not a big mister, so it's really not big enough for a patio. It does have a two speed fan.

This fan is a great addition to the RYOBI family. The set is complete with charger and battery. The easy to use hose attachment allow for a constant stream of mist to keep you cool. The fan is great with or without misting on. It is well crafted and made to last. The fan is adjustable and even has notches for hanging if needed. It is super quite. I love to use it in my plant area. Keeps me cool and mists my plants too.

The Ryobi cordless hybrid Whisper Series misting cannon fan is a perfect solution for my hydroponic greenhouse. When temps and humidity are high, a misting fan can help plants manage the stress of heat and humidity. I run pumps and circulators off solar panels because this greenhouse is not wired for electricity and with all that water I'm not comfortable with extension cords. Having a cordless battery operated misting fan is a Godsend for me and the fact that I can source water either through a direct connection with a garden hose or a bucket of water. The fan body is sturdy and well-built and the direction of air/misting flow is easily adjusted toward the greenhouse ceiling reducing the temperature and cooling the plants. The two brass mister jets are qualilty - there should be little problems with them. I really like the on/off control valve on the siphon tube. That allows me to submerge the siphon into the bucket of water then turn on the siphon and eliminate the typical air bubble. Overall this Cordless Hybrid Whisper misting cannon fan is heads above other models I've looked at and is 10X better than my current misting fan that is electric only, plastic misting jets and garden hose only at 2X the price.

When this fan set first arrived, it was much bigger than I had expected, but soon grew to like it very much. I set it up with full power and a hose line, and it worked extremely well. The hose actually feeds two micro misters, so it's not introducing too much water into the air flow, but just enough. After a good testing, it seems like the battery option may be a life saver on hot days, in case you go somewhere without house power. Almost all of us have 18+ charged batteries around, and this can keep you cool when there is no power to be had.

This “Cannon” won’t blow you over, but it does move a lot of air (1400 CFM on high). I can feel the cooling mist at least 13 feet from the fan when using it outdoors. The misting feature control is completely separate from the fan control. Turn on the fan using the 3-position switch on the front of the fan and/or turn on the mist using the lever on the hose-thread adaptor. Using the battery means I can use this anywhere! The fan weighs just 10 pounds and the handle on top of the fan is well-balanced and easy on your fingers. The two locking levers on the side are big and easy to turn so setting the fan’s angle is also quick and easy. There are cleverly shaped slots on the bottom for wall mounting on two bolts on 110mm centers (see photo), but I have not tried that.. This unit can be corded or cordless. If you mount it up on the wall, I recommend using a power cord because changing the battery would be tricky. There is a slot on the base that I think is for routing the extension cord to take the weight off the plug end. Ryobi has several One+ fans. This unit has a 12-inch blade; whereas, the standard, non-misting, Ryobi Air Cannon uses an 18-inch blade, and Ryobi’s Bucket-Top, Misting Fan uses a 7.5-inch blade. I wouldn’t say that this fan is loud, but it is definitely louder than the old 16" Lasko fan I got for my home gym a few years ago. Low speed is fine, but I do have to speak louder to be heard with this fan on high. Of course, it is much, much quieter than most power tools so if you are purchasing it for a construction site, you won’t notice its sound at all! I think the extra noise might be attributable to the straight-line edges on this Ryobi because the blades on my gym fan are much rounder. I guess this design is what allows the Ryobi to move so much air! The head of the fan is adjustable, but fixed; it doesn’t automatically oscillate back and forth the way a lot of house fans do. If you stand right in front of the fan, it feels like you get wet, but farther out I feel the cooling effect without the wetness. The 4ah battery that came with the kit lasts for hours. The battery enclosure easily fits my largest Ryobi Battery which is 6ah so I think it would hold a 9ah battery. The weight of the 4ah battery makes it hard to tip over the fan, but not so heavy that it is hard to move. It is interesting that this 4ah battery is the exact same size and almost the same weight as my 6ah “High Performance”battery (25oz and 27 oz) see photos. I think it uses less than 2-gallons of water per hour, but, unlike the Ryobi Bucket Mister, this unit does not include a pump. If you don’t have a water spigot on site, a 5-gallon bucket could provide a couple hours of mist -- if you have an appropriately sized pump. I considered trying a gravity-fed system, but I read that ten feet of elevation only provides 4.3 psi pressure, and mist systems need more than that. I read that some commercial misters run at 800psi or higher to create tiny, fog-like droplets to cool the air without creating a heavy mist that feels wet or damp.
