Outside of watching football players on the sidelines partake in the cool chill that a misting fan gives off, we were pretty new to the idea until this recent post over at The Kitchn mentioned how enjoyable they can be. Since then, we've been doing a bit of research and came up with several we think could be worth your time.

• Bronze Windchill Misting Fan: Available from Frontgate for $129, this unit attaches to a regular garden hose and has four sprayers to keep things cool.

• Keeping Cool 6: Available at Costco for $19.99, this portable unit is a hose that can sit along the edge of an umbrella to cool your immediate dining area.

• Holmes Outdoor Misting Fan: this fan is currently on sale at Kohls for $64 from $159 and is a great size for it's price. Might be worth heading to the suburbs for!

• 30" Commercial Misting Fan: for $699 from Northern Tool. Although this unit is a little pricier, this is one item that you get what you pay for.

• Patio Misting System: for $109.95 from Cool-Off. This kit can attach to your deck, patio or even front porch overhangs, wherever you need a little cool, it's there and with low pressure to save you $$ on your water bill.
