This is a review of Lasko Misto. (big update below, this thing needs metal upgrades, and then, it's wonderful. )
-----
New update after two seasons: with the upgraded parts below, this thing is awesome. The shutoffs and the metal nozzles are a game changer for regulating the right amount of mist so you don't get soaked and the cooling effect on full blast is incredible. The original plastic nozzles would get the floor wet, and fail from calcium buildup, and when I cleaned them with vinegar, their o-rings disintegrated. I would never buy this Lasko without upgrading the nozzles with shut offs.

(Old update with parts) Just an update. I upgraded my nozzles with shut off switches and it’s 100 times better because you can adjust the mist to just one, and regulate the amount that comes out of each. I had to cut off a little bit of plastic on the misto with a saw to make the threads of the shut off valves fit, but it was super easy. I also used some plumber teflon tape to make sure it didn't leak.
Here are the parts:
3 Metal nozzles ⅛ NPT (10/24 is the thread size) and the (0.020 inch) orifice depends on how much water flow you want. Amazon was out so I bought from mistcoolingdotcom.
