The description says 4 x 3 x 17 inches. How is this an 8 inch fan?

It is 17" total with the base. The fan it self is 8" total. Great fan I have been using it almost 24/7 since I purchased it as my roommate does not believe in turning the air on. I would recommend purchasing it.

The description must be inaccurate, then. The blade area is around 8 inches. The only dimension that's close to 4 inches is the depth, but it's actually a little more than 4 inches.

Good question, I guess the specs aren't correct, but it does seem to have an 8" diameter. Just very noisy compared to other fans of similar size and price. Not anymore powerful either.

The fan box is NOT square! It might have a 10" fan blade, but the box measures 10 3/4" wide x 11 1/2" tall (on left corner), 11 3/4" (at right corner) x 4" deep. The top has a 'wave' that rises 1/4" additional which I noted. It is sturdy and has survived a fall from the window sill of 30" With two speeds, it can blow a good bit of air! I am pleased with them--I have TWO!!"

The Fan comes with 2 "droop" sizes. One is about 5"s, and the other is about 3"'s. All in all, with the smallest rod, the fan hangs about 5 inches, from the ceiling, to the top of the motor housing. Pretty much a perfect fit, for an 8ft ceiling; unless you are over 6'5 inches tall. P.S. Fan is whisper quiet, and if balanced properly, you won't even notice it's on. Only downside, is the light chain(not pictured), goes through the inside of the bowl (not very appealing), but all in all, I would give this fan, a 5 of 5, compared to what I had!!

It's about 10"X4" and the fan is about 6" from the mount. Ours is in a corner of the screen porch and is mounted on sturdy wooden "bracket" that spans the corner.

The diameter of the fan is approximately 13 inches, base is 9" X 10.5" & height is 17".

I'm not sure, but as I recall it was a circle about 7"-8" in diameter. This is a GREAT fan! It is quiet and really moves the air.

The spec said that it has 7.8" width so fan is too high, not much room left.

4 inch and larger would work I went with a 6 inch fan. Openings are adjustable to the size you need. 8 inch is probably maximum size it would accommodate without an adapter.

The fan size is about 4 inches x 4 inches. You are right when you say, the dimensions are for the unit. Furthermore, the unit is a exact size of the vent, which should be about 9 x 6 inches. The metal plate you see in the picture is slightly over sized so that is covers the vent opening. The unit is mounted with the fan facing the inside of the crawl space. This way the fan pushes the air out of the crawl space. I've had it installed over 2 years ago and it's still running strong and keeps the crawl space dry. The item comes with a humid-stat that I set at 22% which keeps the crawl space dry. I hope this helps with your decision. I think the product is durable, works and is made of quality materials.

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.
