The fan does a great job at moving air on my covered 24x12ft patio. As it sits next to the screen, it often gets rained on, but I have not noticed any issues with finish deterioration or impaired functionality at all.The good: it is fairly quiet for a large and somewhat powerful air mover. The base has lockable wheels, but they are badly needed; the base is heavy and does not scoot around even in pretty strong Florida winds. The assembly was easy and straightforward. The power cord has a GFCI built in, which is a good thing to have on an electrical appliance that will be subjected to inclement weather.The less good: the remote is tiny, easily misplaced, and does not function very well if not aimed DIRECTLY at the fan. As in “iron sights” kind of directly. It doesn’t not help that the fan shroud is extremely close to the sensor and undoubtedly blocks a part of the IR signal from reaching the sensor. The only other thing that is quite irritating is that every time the fan is turned on, it is in the default “natural” mode, in which the speed goes up and down and sometimes to “off” at random. It’s designed to emulate natural wind, but it’s more of an annoyance or hinderance than a feature. If you need the fan to push air, it should be the default setting. So, to overcome this, you will turn the fan on, and then immediately hit the mode button to put it on “outdoor” mode, which allows it to keep constant speed and do what you bought it to do - move air and cool you down.TLDR: Would I buy it again, despite the few admittedly minor grievances I have? Absolutely.

Oh, I love this fan! This review is definitely influenced by my purchasing a different fan, similarly priced, and seeing how bad it was in so many ways. I sent it back and got this Rowenta fan. My mistake on the other fan was returning it before I could write a one star review on it to warn other people. The only reason I’m mentioning it is from a comparison standpoint. It’s like a Lexus versus a Hyundai. You can’t go wrong with this fan. I’ve read other reviews and I agree with the positive ones. One said cheaply made, and I could not disagree more. The other fan was flimsy and rusted. Yes I said rusted! This has a solid, weighted base, easy to assemble, quiet mode and one simulating the shifting of natural breezes. Love the remote control and oscillating function AND that it has its own GFI plug since it can be left outside except in extreme weather. Very happy!!

With 9 “speeds” I was surprised how noisy the fan is! Built well & functions well! We will have to put it farther away as the noise is annoying! Needs lower/softer speeds.

This is hands down the best fan I’ve purchased. I bought 2 different fans and the ease of assembly and quietness and durability are amazing. We live in Alabama and it was 92 degrees here today but my garage was so much cooler than it’s been all summer. It seems the longer you have it on the more comfortable it gets. I know that sounds silly but my other fan just circulates humidity and this one actually circulated cool air. 100% recommend

I was excited for this fan to put in the patio and spend some time outside over the summer. The fan assembled easily, I have four other indoor Rowenta fans so I understand how they work and how to assemble them. I like Rowenta fans a lot! But when I was done, the fan turned on and the fan housing tilted to the back so the fan was blowing above me. I thought it was part of the programming at first but it never came back to face straight. I tried over and over, the fan was too powerful and would always tip the fan backwards. I boxed it up and returned it right away, this fan is too expensive to have a fan that can't stay pointed where you want it! Love Rowenta but this fan is not good enough to be in their lineup--I would avoid!

I purchased this because it was shown as an "outside/outdoors" fan. It has several design flaws that you need to know about. First, it has very small wheels on the base. When I put the fan on my rough cement back porch it wouldn't roll because the wheels are too small. They need to be bigger. Second, the motor of the fan is heavy and when I try to adjust the tilt of the head (to blow the wind up vs straight ahead) the weight is not centered correctly and the fan head falls towards the back of the fan without stopping on the intermediate stops - thus it has to be pointed straight ahead or in the up (or last) adjustment. It won't stay in any intermediate positions. Third, the remote is okay but it must be a line of site infrared remote. Standing in front of the fan and using the remote at waist level would not operate the fan. I had to drop the remote down below waist level so it was in line with the receiver unit on the fan body. For what you pay, the fan falls into the average category.

This rolling fan is not only touch, quiet, rolling, powerful, oscillating, everything! It’s just a great fan. It’s great quality and it’s fancy! Love it. It came with a remote control and it just works excellent!! Would definitely buy again would definitely buy for inside even

Okay, first of all my wife and I own two of their indoor floor model quiet fans and keep them in our bedroom. When I say quiet, I literally mean they're undetectable to the average person running. Utterly amazing and incredibly expensive. So when I saw that they made it outdoor fan, it was sort of a no-brainer. My wife and I spent a lot of time outside whether it's on the patio furniture or grilling or even in the hot tub... This is not quite as quiet because you want to move a lot of air but it's 100% weatherproof, it's not bad looking, and it works like a charm. This thing moves a ton of air and for the price you can't go wrong. This company stands behind their products so if you have a problem they will make it right. Smart piece of advice, bring it inside in the winter, don't cover it just bring it in and put it in your basements or garage. It'll last for years

Ce ventilateur est très facile à monter. Il faut cependant remarquer que la petite bosse de la base noire correspond à un trou dans le ventilateur où il faut qu'elle rentre, quelque chose qui n'a pas été dit dans le guide de l'utilisateur. J'ai d'abord dû me demander pourquoi ma colonne n'était pas droite mais j'ai fini par le remarquer. La pile de la télécommande n'est pas incluse, autre chose que j'ai dû découvrir par moi-même.Je suis tout de même fière de mon achat et j'estime que c'est un ventilateur haut de gamme, une lutte contre la chaleur et très beau dans ma chambre. Ça en vaut la peine.

I received the tower fan with the ring that fastens the bottom to the fan missing, called Rowenta and Amazon without success, all that spoke to me were damn useless ROBOTS, I'm so freaking frustrated and annoyed.Update, finally spoke to Rowenta and did what asked to do, they shipped me the missing piece, But it’s the wrong size for the fan, sigh)))))

Très efficace, joli, plein option de ventilation et silencieuse.

This fan is tinier than it look and the fan strength is very weak.

It looks nice in photos but it's actually just cheap plastic. The base is flimsy as can be. Doesn't even include a battery for the remote. Annoyingly only shows temperature in Fahrenheit.
