The Micro 24, a petite fan, is perfect for closets, hallways, utility rooms and much more.

The damp rating on this petite fan makes this a great choice for bathrooms and can even used outdoors. The Micro comes with three speed control and can be manually reversed and is light kit adaptable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good litte fan, Frustrating Installation, August 4, 2008

This review is from: Monte Carlo 3TF24WH Micro 24, 24-Inch 3-Blade, Ceiling Fan, Damp Location, White Motor Finish and White Blades (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a good product that delivers what it promises. Even at lower speeds, there is considerable air circulation in a 200 sq. ft. room.

The fan is solidly constructed with quality metal parts throughout. It feels substantial.

Trouble started when it came to installing the blades. The compact nature of the fan requires you to mount the fan blades only after installing the main body to the ceiling. So have to be some sort of acrobat to get underneath it, hold the blade with the balancing weight so that the pre-drilled screw holes are aligned -- after sliding both peices in from the side, not the bottom. Then you have to hold the blade and weight steady in one hand while simultaneously screwing in the screw the driver/drill upside-down with the other hand. I had to go away from the directions and improvise. And you have to do this 3 times (one time for each blade)!

I've installed dozens of ceiling fans and this one was going swimmingly up until the blade installation. I would say on average, I can install a larger fan in about 30 minutes--45 minutes on the high side. This took about 2 hours after finally landing on an improvised routine to get the blades in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fan for small spaces., June 29, 2009

When you have a room where a conventional ceiling fan doesn't fit, this is good substitute.

When you're directly underneath, the airflow is very good. However, when you aren't, the breeze isn't nearly as noticable. For a large room, I wouldn't bother.

The fan is small enough to fit in a hallway; we ended up mounting ours in close proximity to our hanging pot rack (there was no other fan that would make both usable at the same time) and we were pleased.

Installation was a bit of a pain: the wires leading from the motor were about eight feet long and had to be cut. The manual indicated that I should be able to mount the top and have the rest on the ground with wires hanging down and have room to work, but that's a dream. Plus I had to trim the wires to get them to fit in the casing. Another obvious con is that the instructions weren't written well at all, which is surprising because Monte Carlo is a great company. Lots of pictures do not make for clear directions.

The fan is almost directly over our kitchen table, and when leaves were taken out to seat eight, everyone felt a nice breeze.

The fan is quiet too -- even on the highest setting. I was worried that the light kit wouldn't be bright enough (read: candelabra bulbs) as I use fluorescents whenever I can, but I didn't have any issues at all. I'm really pleased with this fan.

The bottom line is when the situation calls for it, this fan is excellent. It would be great in a bathroom or a wide hallway, but if another fan will work, don't pick this one up.

Incidently, we got ours from Lowe's for $70, and it included the light kit.

This review is from: Monte Carlo 3TF24RB Micro 24-Inch 3-Blade Ceiling Fan with Teak Blades, Roman Bronze (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this same with an included light kit at Lowes for about $130 I think. I have a very small galley type kitchen and with a regular fan every time I opened my cabinet it hit the fan blades.. Uuugh. So this little midget fan was perfect for the space.

I already had a fan hooked up, so it was very simple to take the old fan down and replace it with this one. The directions probably aren't the best but I had already watched a youtube video concering how to replace a fan so it was actually pretty easy. you can hang the fan on the bracket before actually connecting all the wires so you don't need to have anyone holding the fan or helping. The wires are long so you'll need to trim them down a lot unless for some reason you need like 8 foot worth of wires.

The air output on this was pretty surprising to me. It gives a lot of air for its size. I have to turn it down to low when I cook otherwise it sometimes blows out one of the burners on my gas stove but the air will mostly move straight down in a pretty small area. Obviously a larger fan will likely give you a better airflow over a larger area but if you have a small space, hallway, or size limitations due to cabinets etc, like I did, then this may be perfect for you. (I do suggest going with a lighting kit though)
