This is one of Home Depot's Special Buy of the Day for May 21, 2023.
While this is not at an all-time low price, it's still a pretty good price for this highly popular and well-rated product. Heading into the summer time, it's better to have this already instead of struggling to find this product during the heatwaves of the summer. By that point it's possible it may be out of stock then.
Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 7-1/2 in. Bucket Top Misting Fan 2-Pack (Tools Only)
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../324668776 $99
( Single fan for reference/reviews only:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../321851611 $71.76 )
Update: Note this is the bucket top variant of the fan--it hasn't been smaller or larger over the years. Upon further researching this product, I found out that this model PCL851 is a *newer* version of their portable bucket fan that seems to be based off the design of the new WHISPER series fan PCL811. It is 44% quieter and possibly more powerful (not confirmed, but if it uses the same tech as the PCL811 versus the older P3320 [youtube.com], there's some improvement in CFM). For video comparisons, you can see PCL851 [youtube.com] versus older model PMF01 [youtube.com].
(See the differences in the grill design for whisper series model, in addition to an added handle on top)

In regards to the 12" air cannon, https://www.homedepot.c
Per the video review I found for the prior model 7.5 misting fan PMF01 @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-2De_MhtAk around the 10:30 minute mark, it's shown that attaching a hose works because the pressure from the hose forces water out of the brass misting nozzles. However if the hose is dropped into a bucket, nothing happens unless you actually turn on the "misting button" which essentially turns on the pump.
Also if you check the Q&A on the product page for the 12" air cannon misting fan, someone asks specifically if it can be used on a bucket, and Ryobi support responds that no, it's not compatible.
Edit: Just responding to another comment, but so much thread-crapping and/or misinformation. Not sure why that's happening so frequently these days people posting bad information. While the video review above is regarding the older model PMF01 @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-2De_MhtAk at the 12:30 minute mark, the guy claims he got around 4 hours of runtime with 1 bar left on a 4Ah battery. If you pay attention to the setting he used, it looks like he utilized the high mist setting too. I can't imagine a newer model would have drastically different runtimes.

In the same question, someone else said 6.75 hours of run time on setting 3 with a 4ah battery.
I had it in my cart and I didn't ordered it till after midnight and it was a no-go.
