Here in Texas where the temps are in the 100's, we decided to get one of these to help our dogs, they are indoor dogs but they want outside to play but it's just too hot. Purchased the mister at Sams Club yesterday, had it up in minutes. It cooled off our patio and areas of the yard! We were able to sit on our patio with our dogs and not get hot! GREAT item - humans and dogs love it!
