This fan is exactly as described! Flush mount and compact, but the breeze it creates is somewhat amazing. Full disclosure, we installed it just as the seasons were changing, so we have not had to fully utilize it in the most extreme temps, but on those bonus summer days, it has performed well. It has six speeds and we have really only had to use up to 3. We have it installed in an upstairs 12x14 bedroom which has been converted to a family roomstudy. I don’t believe it would do it’s best work  in a much larger room than that since it is so compact. Easy to install. Very attractive. The ONLY thing you need to hunt for is a reminder on the size bulb to install. It is not in the printed instructions, but it is on the product description under the item listing.
