Tiny fan, moves a lot of air
This fan works great! I installed it last night. It spins very quickly on its highest setting, and it moves a lot of air for its size. The bulb socket is a miniature Edison base rated at 65W, so it may be a bit dim for larger rooms.
I hooked this fan up to a fan/light control switch on the wall, so I wanted to remove the pullchains. To do so, perform the following BEFORE MOUNTING THE FAN and AT YOUR OWN RISK:
* Remove the three screws that hold the light socket over the housing, and pull open the cover.
* There are a bunch of wires and wire nuts that attach the fan speed pullchain, fan direction switch, and light pullchain together.
* Unscrew the fan speed pullchain switch and the light pullchain switch. Yank all the wires out of both switches.
* The black and blue wires go straight through the fan to the other side - they're coming directly from the source.
* To bypass the light pullchain, connect the blue wire to the black wire of the light...
Great Size - Noisy
If you are purchasing this just based on the size and appearance, the fan is great. I think the thing is noisy and has a constant low level hum. I have 4 other Hunter fans in my home and all are extremely quiet - Unfortunately, this was the only one I could find in this small size so I was limited to Westinghouse. It went into my daughter's room and she says that I am the only one to notice the hum so I guess it's OK for 50 bucks.
Nice fan for a small room
