Petite 30 in. Indoor Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan

First, let me state that I am quite satisfied with my Westinghouse Petite 30 in. ceiling fan. There are three reasons, which you need to know, why I didn't give it a firewall five-star rating: - While installation couldn't be simpler or easier (small parts that aren't very heavy are helpful), the Instructions are a bit imprecise about which preinstalled screws must be removed, and which ones backed off, before installation. For example, my fan was shipped with three screws preinstalled in the fan motor bracket, which MUST be removed before installation. The Instructions don't mention this at all, which could cause problems for the inexperienced. - Despite six blades and high RPM, this fan doesn't move much air. This may not be an issue in the small, confined spaces for which this fan was made...at least drafts won't be a problem. - A definite 60Hz hum, audible in all three speeds. This could be an artifact of my particular installation, but I doubt it. It doesn't bother me, but customers who put a high value on silent operation may need to keep shopping. Despite all this, the Westinghouse Petite brushed nickel fan looks great when installed. In my narrow, confined hallway location it looks custom-designed for the purpose. The mushroom light globe illuminates everything, with no shadows anywhere, and the brushed-nickel finish makes this fan look like you paid a lot more than you did for it. Just one more observation: Like most fans of this type, the blades are reversible. The other side of the blades feature a woodgrain so pale (like birch or light pine) that while you might think the light color might blend in discreetly with a white or light-colored background, the woodgrain just makes the blades look dirty.

Good petite ceiling fan for small size rooms. This ceiling fan with light is straightforward to assemble and install and is attractive. A ceiling fan is a good investment because it can be used year round to help with heating or cooling a room by circulating air in a room to reduce hot or cold areas. This fan with light is well made to last for many years. The light globe is glass versus plastic. The fan blades are plain white on one side and wood grain on the other side to provide options for matching different decors. The manufacturer includes hardware to assembly the fan, wire nuts for making electrical connections, provided clear easy to follow instructions with some advise on how to properly mount a fan using an electrical junction box that is designed to support the weight of a ceiling fan, and also included an extra set of hardware to mount one of the six fan blades in case the hardware gets lost. A 60 watt A15 candelabra base incandescent lamp is included, but I purchased and installed a 60 watt equivalent A15 candelabra base LED lamp Model # A15 60WEW27 E12 3PK Internet #206743922 instead to use 1/10 of the electricity of an incandescent bulb without generating heat and to avoid having to change the light bulb. There is a coin shaped icon fob hanging on the end of each pull chain switch to easily distinguish the fan switch from the light switch and the switches are also labeled on the fan with the same icons. This is nice compared to older ceiling fans that I have in other rooms that don't distinguish the pull chain switches. The light kit and icon fob on the end of each pull chain switch came pre-installed to reduce the amount of assembly required. To mount this ceiling fan I installed a Westinghouse Retrofit SAF-T-BRACE Model # 0110000 Internet #204845572 which includes a metal junction box with mounting posts designed to properly support the weight of a ceiling fan. I have an older home that previously had an ugly semi-flush open style two bulb fixture with a glass shade mounted to a plastic junction box in a fiberboard ceiling with no attic. The Westinghouse Retrofit SAF-T-BRACE was my only option to properly mount a ceiling fan without having to remove part of the ceiling. I had one issue with this ceiling fan due to the older home that I have and not due to the fan. I had to install a small wood wedge on each side of the fan between the decorative motor housing cover and a fiberboard ceiling to eliminate a very loud hum that resonated throughout the home from the fan vibrating slightly when the fan was not operated at the highest speed setting. Now the fan operates quietly at all speeds.

Easy to install with good directions. The is quiet and works well for our laundry room. The only flaw is the candelabra base bulb. The supplied build is a 60 watt equivalent LED supplying warm white light. Trying to find a daylight brighter bulb could be difficult due to the candelabra size base.

it is perfect for the kitchen as it gets hot here in the summer.

Nice fan for a small room (laundry room), moves a fair amount of air, but the 60w bulb is certainly not enough light. Will have to install an additional light source.

Nice small fan for my eat-in galley kitchen; easy install. Too bad the included bulb lasted only 5 days… :(

Easy install. Pushes a lot of air for a small fan
