Give me some good outdoor ceiling fan options that actually move some air. Thanks

That’s my pick in the mid range. Have to drop way more coin than I am willing to in order to beat it.

At Lamps Plus you will find numerous brands. I have three Casa Vieja's that we really like.

I have some Minka Aire fans that were here when the house was installed. Way above average and my ceilings are high. That's my only complaint is that the down rod should have been a few inches longer.

I have two Fanimation 72" fans from lowes on my back patio and they move some air. And at $300, it looks like they're half the price of everything else posted.

We have two of these out on our screened deck. 3-speeds and you can either let them oscillate or fix them in any position. Most of the time when we're using them I have the fan speed on low or medium, but on high it moves a bunch of air. I like the oscillation feature because the blades are small. We were needing something with a smaller footprint because the ceiling is pitched and would have had to use a longer downrod for a traditional 60 inch fan to clear the blades on one side.

I put high end ceiling fans throughout my house when we closed back in January. I just could not justify it out on my Lanai.
I put a $300 Famination from Lowes 72" on the Lanai. The humidity here seems like its going to kill anything over a few years so I went with something easy to replace

Corner wall or floor fans are the way to go. Have been through all options a homes and camps. Ceiling fans just not effective outdoors in S La heat.

Texas here but our ceiling fans help keep mosquitoes away and help you feel a little more comfortable. They’re also basically the only option when dew points are up in the mid to high 70s like today. On normal summer days, we use a 1000 psi mist system to keep the patio cool but I doubt that’s a good option there.

They work here but only at night. During the day, its just a waste of time turning it on. Plus it blows the smoke from my smoker around when I am cooking. I just use a horizontal fan to blow the smoke the other way
