The Westinghouse Widespan 7224900 is a 100-inch indoor HVLS ceiling fan that Westinghouse rates at 20,483 CFM on high from just 115 W, the most rated airflow of any ceiling fan on this site.

What works

  • 20,483 CFM on high from a 100-inch sweep
  • 6 speed settings
  • Westinghouse rates it at 20,483 CFM on high, the most of any ceiling fan here
  • Only 115 W and 1.55 A at that top speed
  • Six-speed remote and a 24-inch downrod come in the box

What doesn't

  • Not rated for outdoor use
  • Indoor only; no damp or outdoor rating
  • Must mount directly to the building structure, not to a standard fan box
  • Needs at least ten feet from floor to blade, which rules out ordinary ceilings

Who it's for

Good fit

  • Warehouses, shops and gyms with open framing and at least ten feet of clearance under the blades
  • Buyers who want manufacturer-published CFM, watts, amps and RPM before committing to a big install
  • Replacing several small fans with one slow, wide circulator over a large indoor floor

Look elsewhere if

  • Covered patios, porches or damp rooms; Westinghouse rates it for indoor use only
  • Rooms with only a standard ceiling-fan box and no access to the building structure
  • Pulling hot air or fumes out of a building, which takes an exhaust fan

Why it stands out

The Widespan 7224900 is the biggest documented air mover among the ceiling fans on this site. Westinghouse's specification sheet lists 20,483 CFM on high from a 100-inch sweep turning at only 75 RPM, and it draws 115 W and 1.55 A to do it. That is the high-volume, low-speed idea in a fan you can still buy in one box: wide blades push a huge, slow column of air instead of blasting one spot.

The package is complete. A six-speed remote and a 24-inch downrod are included, and the motor carries a limited lifetime warranty with two years on everything else.

What to know before you buy

  • Mounting: this is the detail that decides the purchase. Westinghouse requires direct attachment to the building structure, with at least ten feet between the floor and the blades. The manual lists a 39.2 lb net weight. Plan a beam or joist mount, not a standard ceiling box, and keep the full 100-inch sweep clear of lights, racking and door tracks.
  • Location: indoor only. Westinghouse does not rate it for damp or outdoor spaces.
  • Power: 115 W on high. Westinghouse publishes high-speed figures only, so there is no low-speed table.
  • Noise: no sound rating is published.

How it compares

  • Progress Lighting Huff 96-inch: 14,482 CFM on 49 W, and it is damp-location listed, so it can hang over a covered porch. Less air, well under half the power, and a limited lifetime warranty.
  • Fanimation Odyn 84-inch: 10,104 CFM on 32 W with an integrated LED light and a dry/damp rating. Pick it for a big great room where the light matters as much as volume.
  • No usable ceiling structure? A wall-mount industrial fan aims air at a work zone with no overhead framing work at all.

Bottom line

For a high indoor space with accessible framing, the Widespan 7224900 is the ceiling fan to beat on documented airflow. Its limits are just as clear: indoor only, direct structural mounting and ten feet of blade clearance. If you can meet all three, buy it.

Verdict

Buy the Widespan 7224900 if you have a high indoor space with accessible framing and want the most documented airflow from a single ceiling fan. Skip it if the fan has to hang over a patio or damp area, or your ceiling cannot give the blades ten feet of clearance.

Before you buy

Installation and buying checks

Use these questions to verify the exact configuration. Linked facts are cited; unlisted details stay questions.

  1. Mounting and support

    Does the planned location suit the listed ceiling mounting, with the required support, clearance, and service access?

  2. Clearance and handling

    Do the listed physical details leave enough clearance for installation, adjustment, and service?

  3. Electrical match

    Does the documented electrical information match the planned supply? Confirm the installed unit’s nameplate and installation instructions before connecting it.

  4. Airflow at the job

    Is the listed airflow rated at an operating point that matches the job after placement, obstructions, and system resistance are considered?

  5. Location requirements

    Do the documented location and guard details match the conditions and rules at the installation site? Check the manufacturer instructions for the exact configuration.

Put 20,483 CFM in context

The Westinghouse Widespan 7224900 100-Inch Ceiling Fan has a listed airflow of 20,483 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.

RoomSizeNominal room volumes / hourNominal pass interval
One-car garage22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³517×7 s
Two-car garage22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³310×12 s
Workshop40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³85×42 s
Warehouse bay100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³15×3.9 min

A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.

Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.

Operating estimate

What could it cost to run?

This uses the listed 115 W power draw. The example below assumes 8 hours a day, 250 days a year, at $0.16 per kWh. Change the assumptions for your utility rate and schedule.
