5 stars in spite of imperfections because (a) it could not be easier to set up, and (b), the entire concept is flawed, and I don't think anything could do better.
Open the package. There's a loop with spray nozzles and a long hose which connects to a faucet. The only real trick is -- how to you hang it on the front of your fan? Once you have that figured out, it's a 30 second process. I used an S-hook, but you have to make sure it won't get in the way of the blades. You could use tie-wraps, but then have to cut them off. String would work. All sorts of things will work.
As for defects: it does drip a bit where it connects to the hose bib. Almost made me wonder if it has non-standard threads, but it doesn't.
But ... the whole concept is flawed, because .... wind. If you put the fan at a comfortable distance, the lightest breeze diverts the cooling spray. It is really hit and miss. And if the wind comes from behind, you get less mist and more spray, and you start to worry about the book or magazine you are reading, wondering if it will get water spots, or even have pages stick together.
If you put the fan close enough to keep it on target, you get more spray than mist, and my fan at least doesn't have a low enough speed to keep it gentle. The nozzles have serrated sides as if to provide a good grip to adjust them, but I can't turn them by finger, don't want to take pliers to them, and I think the wind is still the biggest problem, and unfixable.
I will keep using it. If the dog or squirrels chew it up, I will probably buy it again. But think about the wind and whether it will work for you.
