I'm looking for a good fan for a small 12'x12' room that is lacking a ceiling fan. Is this fan overkill for that size room or just right?

That's about the size of the room where I used my fan; I think it's perfect.

I think it will be just fine. My room is around that size and it does a great job, think you will like it.

Hi---this fan has three speed settings, so depending on your need, this could be just right. On extra hot days, you might want to use the higher settings. Also, you can tilt the fan so it circulates air above you instead of hitting you directly.

The room I have this fan in is just a bit larger, with a 10' ceiling, and it works wonderfully even set on "Low".

This fan will work very well for that room! Using mine in a slightly smaller area (132 sf) and only run on low speed to circulate AC from ceiling in the warmest room in house. I believe you will be happy.

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

I put 3 of these fans in house in Florida with 12 ft ceilings and used a 2 ft downrod. (FYI - best fans ever. No wobble becuz the downrod end is triangular insuring it's stability!) I know I cut off a lot of extra wire but can't guaranty the total wire was longer than 6 ft. Recommend you hit up the Hunter Fan people. They're pretty good at getting back to me when I had questions about compatible light fixtures for certain fans. Link to customer service here. http://www.hunterfan.com/Support/Contact-Us/

I think it may be a bit small for a room that size. We have it in a room just under 100 Sq ft. I would recommend the 60 inch unit.

I don't think this type of fan should be used for a high ceiling. We have a slanted high ceiling and this fan is too small. I put this fan by an ac vent so it would circulate the air. It is perfect for what we expected. Ceiling is also low. Remember blades are small. I hope this helps.

The fan requires a small candelabra bulb. You might consider upgrading to a small CFL candelabra bulb as these will give you a higher output of light. I had to change mine because the light bulb that comes w/ the fan wasn't powerful enough to light up the room. I opted for the candelabra CFL 23w (100w incandescent equivalent), w/ an approx. 1000 lm output.

Should do a good job. I added a fan above it so it would circulate quickly in my garage which is 450 sq foot. Never need it on high. I would insure there is some fresh air for the room for safety.

Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room. I use this near an AC to throw the cold air across the living/dining area--its a big double room. It works very well and is very quiet for the amount of air it moves. For a bedroom this unit is overkill, the smaller one is more appropriate--however you may find a mulitpurpose utility blower/fan works best. I picked one up at Lowes for $50, its a Lasko and moves a ton of air. Not throwing at a distance like the vornado, but feels like it moves more air within a shorter vicinity. The vornado's rock, enjoy whichever you end up with! Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room.

I installed mine in a 16x24 great room with cathedral ceiling on a 6' down rod. It makes a nice breeze on the lowest setting, and is a dramatic visual addition to the room. The CFM rating as well as the installation height both affect the "feel" of the air movement, so go with whichever fan you prefer the look of. BTW, if your ceiling is sloped significantly, you will need the steep ceiling adapter bracket.

1. The specs probably give exact measures. Mine is about 14 to 15 inches from light to ceiling.2. Not sure if there is an optional shorter extension. 3. It fairly quiet and air flow is fine. It is a higher quality fan.

My room is 10x20 and I'm impressed by how much air this fan pushes. I know the reviews say small room but I can see this in a large room. One of the best fans I've purchased.

yeah sure this is a 52 " fan that would be perfect for a bedroom like that. you can even go bigger if you would like but this fan will def do!

I recently put an 80 cfm fan in a powder room that is also about 5 x 7 with 8 foot ceiling on main floor of two story house (length of ductwork makes some difference). I think that was a little bigger than the recommended size (I saw anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes recommended to remove the room air volume) but I didn't want to go too small. 80 cfm is plenty. Drawback of going bigger is need for larger diameter duct to make use of the fan power, a little more noise from a larger motor, and less energy efficient both due to motor and to pulling more heated or cooled air out of the house.

The fan is awesome for larger area, as the Deacon of my church this is why I purchased it and it has worked wonderfully and I was rather surprise that its not very loud at all and all three speed adjust very well according to the loudness which to me is very acceptable however I really don't know how it may sound in a close in area unless of course you have a rather large bedroom. I hope this will be of some help to you and Happy New Year and god luck.

This fan is actually quite powerful compared to most 16" fans. It is a bit noisy. I like that as I need white noise. I have it in a bedroom about 16'x16' and I keep it on the lowest setting, which is enugh even n a hot humid night. So I would think it would handle a 20'x20' or even a bit bigger easily. If you decide to get this, it's a tad tricky to set up. I very carefully made sure the mounting bracket that screws into the wall was level and plumb. All for naught. When I slid the fan over the bracket and leveled it, the hole in the fan base didn't line up with the hole in the mount bracket to secure the fan. Since I had it about as close to the ceiling as I could get it, I was unable to get my head above it to look down to line up the holes. So I got a small mirror and a small flashlight to help me see to line up the holes. This meant that the fan is slightly askew, not enough to notice. This fan was also the only one that had a remote that I keep by the side of the bed. This way if I want to turn it off in the middle of the night, I don't have to get up and manually do so. Compared to what's out there for a residential wall mount fan this looked like the best. I'm actually thinking about getting another one. Hope this helps. Boudica

I am very happy with mine for those purposes. The nice part is that you don't have to have the fan blowing right on you. It can be facing any direction and you feel a comfy flow of air without being annoyed by a blast. I got 2 on sale and love them. For that size room, you will be fine with the small one.
