Orbit 20066 Portable 1/4-Inch Outdoor Mist Cooling System

I absolutely LOVED this product and it worked perfectly. We bought it for a party during Memorial Weekend, which was over 95 degrees that day. Set up for a breeze. We attached it between two trees in the shade. It did take about 30 seconds for the water to wind its way from the facet through our long hose, up a tree and through the hose of the unit before it started working. We had it on a medium water pressure level and it misted perfectly for over 7 hours. People loved it!When I took it down I was surprised and pleased to find that the ground below was not overly wet or muddy, just a little damp. During use, I did note the formation of water droplets on the hose during use, but it was not enough of a problem that anyone complained or that it created a watery mess below. We do have nice thick grass, and it was a hot day, (though set up in the shade) so perhaps without those conditions there might be more water below. If I try it elsewhere, such as on our deck, I will update my review.As a precaution for avoiding calcium build up, I removed the brass nozzles and allowed them to dry out on a paper towel over night (they each had about one droplet of water inside) before packing them in a zip lock bag in the original box. Also, I hung the hose up by one end to allow remaining droplets of water to drain out overnight from the hose adapter end before packing away.The original box is sturdy and perfect for keeping and storing the mister, though I might go ahead and order a second unit and attach it to our deck for the summer. It really provided a very pleasing mist of water, and I was so thankful to have it for our party!

Let me tell you something, this is a great item. It produces a beautiful fine mist. The kind of mist you want to trap in a bottle and break out when you need to go to that happy cool place that's safe from sun and provides shelter from the harsh elements.It'a portable. So you can move it. It doesn't really stay in a straight line when you hang it using the supplied hooks because they are somewhat loose and the tube can slide around. Getting all the nozzles to point in one direction is a little difficult as well. But it's very nice in the North Texas heat. We just hung it from the back porch and let dangle and move around as it wished. It works perfect. No drips, unless one of the nozzles is faced up against something. I like it.Another 10 or 20 feet of it would be nice.

Works great, does not leak. I have had no problem with the heads other than the occasional drip in which I just had to tighten down the heads. Puts out quite a bit of mist even with the hose barely on. I put this above my patio awning and it is perfect during the day when the kids are playing and I am doing yard work. I walk back to the house from the heat of the day and walk through a wall of fine, cool, mist which feels amazing but does not making me wet. The only issue I have is that one of the heads drips for quite some time when I turn the system off. This seems like it wouldn't be that big of a deal but unfortunately when I am having a cookout and/or have family over I would rather them not be hit with drops of water as they walk under the awning. All in all though it is a great product!

Wow, this is so easy to set up, it has misting heads that screw into sockets along the narrow hose, and clips that connect to a fence or wire, even a clothes line, so you can string them up nearly anywhere. I am using this to cool outdoor rabbits, they love it, being it is over one hundred degrees for over a month and a half in the summer here. I use rocks under it to help evaporate the excess water because it is humid here in SC, but in drier areas it would probably not be necessary. I feel like a good rabbit mom because of this product, it has increased their comfort at least fifteen degrees. Fabulous product. Other systems try to make you poke holes into the hose and screw in the misters, and then use glue to hole them in, which is terrible, because the pressure from the water eventually pops the misters out, you won't have that issue with this since they screw in to sockets premade. Also it was really easy to set the water pressure for these, which is a huge issue with others. Wish I could use this inside, but too wet for that, I can imagine this around a patio, or for a dogs kennel, and how great that application would be. It is about ten feet long on the misting side of the hose. I also thought the price was quite fair. Love it!

Pros:- Does produce a heavy mist that does have a cooling effect.- easy to use and set up- seems to be made well enough for the priceCons:- the mist is very heavy and will get objects nearby wet so it's not useful around tables and such.- the nozzles do have a tendency to drip while misting, making things even wetter- the length of the kit and the number of nozzles in that length means the mist is very concentrated, making things even wetter- the clips that come with the kit don't help hold the nozzles pointing down (I ended up using binder clips that can actually grip the hose)To help with the above problems I ended up using the previously mentioned binder clips instead of the ones that came with the kit. Plus the clips that come with the kit will rust after the 1st use, so don't clip them to anything that will stain. The binder clips may do the same, but at least they are painted so they seem to last a little longer before rusting.To help with the concentration of mist I ended up replacing the tubing between the nozzles with longer pieces. I made the kit about 40' long (to cover all sides of my 10x10 pop up canopy). This really helped with the drenching effect they had when previously spaced closer together. They will still soak a table and other objects in short time though.This kit is best used poolside or in places where you don't mind getting wet anyways. It worked for my purpose for the price, but not without a little tweaking.
