Does it need to be hardwired?

No. It is a plug-in fixture with a cord, so it needs an outlet nearby rather than a ceiling electrical box.

Can I use it in direct rain?

It is described as waterproof and meant for outdoor use, but covered areas like porches and patios are the safer placement for any plug-in fixture.

How is it controlled?

Through a phone app. There is no mention of a wall switch or remote.

How much air does a 23-inch fan move?

Less than a standard 52-inch outdoor fan. It is best for small seating areas rather than large decks.

The fan, its light, the plug-in cord and a hook for hanging it on a patio.

Our take on the Williston Forge 23in. Outdoor Caged Ceiling Fan with Light

A 23-inch caged ceiling fan with a built-in light, built for covered patios and porches. It runs on a plug-in cord rather than hardwiring, and it is controlled from a phone app. The plastic blades and caged housing give it a farmhouse look. It suits renters and anyone who wants patio airflow without an electrician, though its small span moves less air than a full-size outdoor fan.
