Cheap Auramist AM11MF30-1 30 Inch Mist Fan Cooling System, Black

Customer Ratings:

First I will review the 30" Auramist Misting fan. It was simple to assemble and I used the U Tube assembly site. While it could be little better, it is a lot better than the written instructions. I assembled it in about 30-40 minutes by myself. I had one small issue after using it for a day and called the company. The issue was the air line was much shorter than the water line that connects at the quick connect. I was directed to another person and he also answered immediately. After sending a couple of photos from the cell phone, he told me to pull the airline supple tubing very hard, that it may have a crip inside the housing. I did as he recommended and it fixed the problem. The line gained about 2 inches and then seated into the quick connect easily. It made a big difference in the performance. I love this fan after a month. I live in Texas and we are getting up to the triple digits already. At first I was worried about the complaints that it was noisy, but it is not near as bad as expected. It sounds like a fan. We have a lot of wind here and you will not get the performance you desire if you do not use the wind to your advantage. I built a cart with bigger wheels and a handle to move it around and that has worked out great. If the wind is blowing from the south, place the back of the fan facing south. This will give you great performance as you can use the wind to keep the mist in a straight pattern blowing North. I think you get the idea. If you try and use the misting fan facing into the wind, the mist will just blow away before it gets to you. On the covered patio, it will shoot a good 20 plus feet. We ate out on the patio yesterday (100 degrees)and it was terrific. No one was even sweating. I have also used it to blow over us while we lay in the sun on the lounge chairs. Having the fan on the cart makes it a breeze to move around. I highly recommend this fan. It works well.

Amazon Experience: It was a little frustrating, but they hung in and finally we got to a level of satisfaction. I was shipped 3 fans, first was damaged by UPS. Without a long explanation, if you note on the Amazon Site, they offer this exact fan at two different prices. One for $599 and one for $699. Exact same fan as I got one of each. You do not have to be too smart to pick $599. The $599 is the exact same product number, but the specs say it is 18". Auramist does not make an 18" model. It is very confusing to the CS Group as they are just order takers. Bottom line, we finally worked our way through the problems and I am happy. At the time I was very frustrated as some CS Reps are excellent and some just do not know how to resove an issue. I love the fan, so that helps smooth over frustration with Amazon CS to get the returns and paperwork right.

I have owned this fan for about one year now and although it operates well, the water the mist it creates has severely rusted the metal parts of the fan including the on-off chain and the metal rim around the base. A fan of this price range should be able to survive in the environment is meant to operate.

According to the manual, Automatic Shutoff: The Misting Fan has a built-in safety feature to prevent water and air pump burnout. If the system is run dry the pumps will shut down prior to overheating." Last night, the water ran out and the fan ran for an additional 2-3 hours. Today, I refilled the tank and despite priming it, no water would come out.

I spoke with a very nice woman from Auramist who told me that she had no idea why the manual says this and, after checking with her colleagues, informed me that there is no automatic shutoff and that the pump had likely burned out. They are sending me a new pump. Of course, I will have to install it myself. Not impressive.

Also the adjustment between wet and dry was impossible to adjust accurately. Either it ran with a great deal of wetness or the water shut off completely. The idea of the fan is great but the engineering (to say nothing of the manual) is woefully lacking.

UPDATE: they sent the new pump. No instructions. I had my3 sons who spent 45 minutes with it. Two days later, it's not running again. It's not that this particular unit is bad: it's the engineering itself. What a disgrace this company is.
