I am a fan of the fan. It will be great for camping, hanging out on the porch and deck and by the pool. It makes the Milwaukee battery powered fan looks like a child’s toy.
Thanks for the information , I wasn't aware of the self contained pump , like you mentioned , Ego builds nice products , great attention to detail , I have lots of things from them , the most recent was the nexus power station , I'd be curious to know how much noise the fan makes , with the pump running , those runtimes you posted are pretty amazing. 👍 Thank you for another great review Andrew
I'm a huge Ego fan and have many of their tools but I don't understand the reasoning behind why they put out a fan (and a light) when there are so many lawn tools they could have come out with that their competition already has. If I need a fan for camping or a power outage I'll use my ego power station and plug in a fan I already have. Next year maybe a should expect an Ego blender and not a lawn dethatcher or pressure washer. Great video but I don't understand where Ego is going with this. It's definitely not on my Ego wish list.
The fan is being marketed to people going camping, sporting events with the kids, working on yard projects, patio parties and all have this one major feature... its portable without running 8 miles of cords and it is a mister to cool you off on hot days. My home currently has no outdoor electrical sockets and being the stucco siding it is and the age of it id rather not mess with it at all. So for all the above reasons plus my own, it has a rather large market. Last summer at the local fair someone was pulling this around in a cart watching their kids go on rides. It was 94 degrees out but felt like the mid 70s within the misting range. All that being said, there is a beware situation about the backplate of the mister being faulty/bad design. I think personally easily repairable as a DIY plastic weld.
definitely on my wishlist. i do wish they would’ve added recessed outlet prongs to use an extension cord if you wanted to run it for a really long time on high. a good set and forget option for job site or poolside even
Would require an additional voltage regulator and increased weight and cost. I own this and it last for hours and hours at sporting events. Goes through quite a bit of water on high, over 3 gallons an hour, but the volume of air moved is quite phenomenal if a bit loud on turbo.
@@savagestash4354 yeah after alot of use since i got it, I can say i dont get any battery anxiety with a 5AH+ battery. easily getting a couple of hours out of it. ive used it poolside, sporting events, general outdoor use. Never really worried about it dying on me. always carried a spare battery when away from home for the just in case, but never needed to switch it out for the 2, 3 maybe 4 hours we're out doing whatever. level 3 and 4 are comfortable depending on how far away you have it. 5 is noisy so only really used it for halftime to help team cool off faster. Love it. cant wait for their other tools coming out soon.
This will be on my So. Fl. patio that overlooks at the Everglades (not joking). It's not very comfortable to sit on the patio in the summer. We have overhead fans that help but this is a game changer plus I am already on the Ego platform.
Thanks for the review of this EGO Mis-tery fan for us. It's listed for 349.00 Canadian so it maybe around $199 ~ $259 US just because Low's in Canada is charging more on EGO products than when they were sold at Home Depot. I hope EGO will do something about it or I am going to buy from US.
Ok, Mr. EGO. LOL. Do they sell an adaptor that you can not use battery and plug into the wall? I do realize the whole company is about battery-powered, but if I had this fan, I would like the ability to plug it into an extension cord. Thanks for the video
@@Kitearmy They get continuously less effective as humidity rises. At 80% humidity, they can achieve around a 10° temperature drop. But these tend to be commercial units with well-designed and maintained misters. Once the droplet size exceeds something like 10 microns, the droplets no longer undergo flash evaporation. But you are right, when it's 95° out, 85° feels much better. Oh, and inside they can be a problem as they WILL increase humidity, and thus biological growth can also increase leading to potentially unhealthy situations.
Watched plenty of videos but none of them seem to tell you that you have to buy the battery with retails for about $180 and the charger which retails for about $180 separately totally almost $700 for the fan, charger and battery. No wonder I have seen these fans at store marked returned.
Can you hook up a water hose too the fan? ( Good source of continuous water. Does it have to go thru the pick-up line? Can you extend this line? , This will allow a larger container of water? ( such as 25 gallon drum)...A bucket of water will not last that long!!! get testing since you scored one for free
It won't because it is a publicly announced for over a month now on different RUclips videos. Still wish they sell the snow thrower this year though. It would be great for small spaces.
@@Kitearmy, I was confused when I went on their website to look it up and didn't see anything. Then came back to your video to see if there was a link and was the video was gone. Always love that you have all of the latest greatest from EGO!
Could I use this mister fan to "reliably" spray vegetable oil on the contestants of a bikini tickle fight and oil wrestling event we're having to raise money for charity.
Wow! These EGO products look really cool! I mean really bitchen! Almost like they're too good to be true... and you know what they say about things that are too good to be true. I kid. They do however appear to be constructed of 100% plastic. Or I mean they appear to be of 100% plastic construction. But so is the competition. EGO looks like beefier plastic. That's good. But I worry this brand is only playing to my ego. Do I win a prize if that is the 1,000th time you've heard that joke?
@@CoolIHandIMatt Yep - so sad that your life has amounted to leaving BS comments that no one will ever read. But don't lose hope Matt, I believe that one day you will emerge from your parents basement and become the beautiful butterfly you are destined to be. We are pulling for your Matt.

Thanks for the review! We're huge fans too! Just like the EGO!
Looks like you are interested in joining the Fan Club ;)
@@Kitearmy Please Review the New EGO Portable are light and review the New EGO 12.0 Battery when you get a chance. Thanks!
I am a fan of the fan. It will be great for camping, hanging out on the porch and deck and by the pool. It makes the Milwaukee battery powered fan looks like a child’s toy.
you mean that desktop thing - I was shocked that no other brand makes a fan this large
Another cool thing about this fan that you hear nobody mentioning is it would also help with bugs/mosquitoes when used outside. Nice review kite army
Good point - fans are great to keep the mosquitos as bay
@@Kitearmy you ever notice when you walk in some stores, at the front entrance it shoots a shot of air down? thats to keep bugs out of store
I am putting this on my wishlist for sitting out back next to the pool in the summer! Great run times indicated in your video!
👍🏼 👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you!
I definitely want one....or two!
Andrew or the fan?
Thanks for the information , I wasn't aware of the self contained pump , like you mentioned , Ego builds nice products , great attention to detail , I have lots of things from them , the most recent was the nexus power station , I'd be curious to know how much noise the fan makes , with the pump running , those runtimes you posted are pretty amazing. 👍 Thank you for another great review Andrew
Glad you liked it! The noise was not bad - quieter than your standard box fan - no vibrations
Looking forward to a video on the light in the near future 👍🏼
Blinded by the light
How easy is it to remove the cover and clean the fan blades? Eventually that will have to be done.
What is the largest battery that will fit in this fan?
Egos largest battery - 56v 12Ah
Hello Kite i was wondering do you have to use the mist function in it or you can just leave it to run like a normal fan?
yeah - you don't have to use the mist and just run as a fan
@@Kitearmy Very nice then this is a must get ,thanks for your reply Kite have a good one😀

Hmmm, as a youth soccer coach, I’m thinking this might be nice for the sidelines on hot days.
great for that

I can see that working out well
So cool! I work on an oyster farm and this would be perfect for the work barge on those hot summer days!!
Yep - those sweltering hot days are coming
What happened to that ego snow shovel video you had, that was prettty cool
sneek peek
Thanks Andy. Would you suggest using distilled water?
I have not had a problem using standard house water
That fan is a beast
Love it!
Me too!
So I am confused. If this is not available for sale, how did you get hold of it? Was a sponsored review?
It is sponsored
This will be on my So. Fl. patio that overlooks at the Everglades (not joking). It's not very comfortable to sit on the patio in the summer. We have overhead fans that help but this is a game changer plus I am already on the Ego platform.
I'm coming over of a beer
@@Kitearmy Any time. If you are here at the right time we can spot a gator in our lake. Not joking.
@@scotts4125 perfect - lets go for a swim
@@Kitearmy For some reason they have rules about the water. No boats or people in the water. :)
Saw it at my local LOWE’S…it was tough not getting at that moment, I’ll probably get it next time I see it 🙂✌️❤️
apparently these things are selling like crazy
Hmmm I am really happy with ego power adaptor with my dewalt 5000cfm fan. But the misting is another level for sure. Let’s see if it is 199 or less
The misting is nuts - lowered my humidity in my house in seconds
@@Kitearmy lowered? u mean elevated?!
Your adding humidity with the misting. May lower the temperature. Not good to use the misting function in the house
Thanks for the review of this EGO Mis-tery fan for us. It's listed for 349.00 Canadian so it maybe around $199 ~ $259 US just because Low's in Canada is charging more on EGO products than when they were sold at Home Depot. I hope EGO will do something about it or I am going to buy from US.
I would do the same thing
The reason it cost more in Canada than in the United States is because of your government taxes.
Curious how long it takes to go through a gallon of water on constant flow mist.
3GPH
That’s a lot of water an hour. Will need a larger source than a bucket and the pick up line needs to be longer or be able to hook a water hose up.
@@johnkraft5640 I bet you could hook it up to a garden hose - not a great option but just put a buck their with the water on a slow trickle
When you pull out the telescoping handle does it lock into place?
Ego batteries prices are the deal breakers. Wishing it was lower
They could make them cheaper but they would not have as much power
Ok, Mr. EGO. LOL. Do they sell an adaptor that you can not use battery and plug into the wall? I do realize the whole company is about battery-powered, but if I had this fan, I would like the ability to plug it into an extension cord. Thanks for the video
Still waiting for their power washer & auger...
power washer - now
Ego doesn't have enough battery power available yet for a power washer.Someday maybe but definitely not now.
There is a lot of issues with the mister on the back plate, its a bad design or quality control issue but many crack easy or show up cracked.
Mine is good - not sure I have heard about a lot of issues.
What does it mean when the mist indicator is flashing
it is spraying water - you can toggle it off
Of course, when you live where it’s high humidity… a misting fan just makes you wetter.
I see them in Theme parks in FL - pretty humid there - but that's all I know
@@Kitearmy They get continuously less effective as humidity rises. At 80% humidity, they can achieve around a 10° temperature drop.

@@cguy96 I noticed the problem with running this inside - my house turned into an instant green house
I just bought my first ego item haha , that’s a pretty sweet fan
What did you get?
@@Kitearmy the Pole saw and detachable pole! I plan on getting one of the trimmers too that has the power feed button.
@@moveslikejagger369 Make sure to get the Line IQ - it's amazing. BTW the hedge trimmer for the multi head is good too
@@Kitearmy okay thanks I’ll definitely have to get that
@@moveslikejagger369 Let me know what you think
I wonder how long it will take before the misters get clogged with buildup from the water? When it does what's the process to unclog them?
they unscrew for service
Watched plenty of videos but none of them seem to tell you that you have to buy the battery with retails for about $180 and the charger which retails for about $180 separately totally almost $700 for the fan, charger and battery.
No wonder I have seen these fans at store marked returned.
buy a leaf blower and get a blower, charger, and battery for $200 and then you can use the battery on this fan too.
Shamwow guys best friend is kite army.
Yep - I taught him everything he knows
can you hook it up to a hose?. do you have hours it will run at other speed settings?
some people have
Can you hook up a water hose too the fan? ( Good source of continuous water. Does it have to go thru the pick-up line? Can you extend this line? , This will allow a larger container of water? ( such as 25 gallon drum)...A bucket of water will not last that long!!! get testing since you scored one for free
yeah - you will need some adapters
@@Kitearmy is there 120 volt plug in? The only Source of power is the battery alone?
@@johnkraft5640 battery is the only option
So my take away… fan..+… water misting abilities… mean I’m going to put it in my tub and make a jacuzzi. That’s what I took away.
Damn...why did I not think of that
@@Kitearmy someone would try it.. no doubt
So the fan and battery are 2 separate prices? Is this at Lowe's or home depot
yeah - I think the fan is sold as tool only
Lowes and Ace Hardware bare tool only
Hopefully this one doesn't get taken down like the snow thrower attachment video did...
It won't because it is a publicly announced for over a month now on different RUclips videos. Still wish they sell the snow thrower this year though. It would be great for small spaces.
That was a sneak peek
@@Kitearmy, I was confused when I went on their website to look it up and didn't see anything. Then came back to your video to see if there was a link and was the video was gone.

If it’s below freezing like maybe 5 deg F will it make snow ?
I'm going to give that a try
249.00 (tool only)
The price was released in 2021
Thanks
Soap water for bubbles???
OMG = brilliant!
Morning sir, still waiting for the video about the New ego blower!!!
oh don't you worry - I'm going all out
@@Kitearmy thank you
what about run times at higher speeds with misting on ?
I was getting run times of about 24 hours
Lol, who's using this in an emergency?
Soo many of these fans leak like crazy. This was a really bad release by Ego when so many of them have gone back to Lowes.
Yeah - I have been hearing that. Glad mine works great
Pity there is no built in water reservoir for all in one goodness.
that would have been a very nice upgrade - but all in all I'm happy that this does not require a water hookup
Is the hose user replaceable?
should not be a problem
$279 at Lowe's. Come on man, you know that's to much.
I would have liked it priced at $199
$279 on pre order at acme tools in may
Yeah - I have heard that some people are already buying
I ordered when it said may. If u look now its saying july. Oye
