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!
