How to choose
Size and retractable blades
Retractable blades extend when the fan runs and contract when it stops, so size sets coverage and contracted size sets space use. The BAYSQUIRREL and the LEDIARY both measure 42 inches, while the AHAWILL extends to 48 inches, with a contracted diameter of 19.69 inches and a height of 7.87 inches. All three give 6 speeds with reversible airflow, so size and contracted dimensions decide fit rather than speed count.
