Casablanca Hermosa

[Cole S.]

Got this off eBay as some of you may have realized, kind of a Christmas gift early. Very unique fan, I really like it. Spinner motor since it's three speed, but still powerful and looks great. I gotta say though, I never realized what a pain it is to get those switch housings on. There's like zero room in there to get everything smashed in lol.

Nice! Hermosa means ''pretty'' or ''beautiful'' in Spanish. It's indeed a pretty fan. There a lot of Spanish and Frenchs names with Casablanca. Just the name of the company. ''White house'' Other are often planets names.

It basically have the same switch housing as a Capistrano? Probably the same size of motor too? (188x20mm)

Apparently it's a 1990s model?

Casablanca is not a country, it's the largest city in Morocco. Morocco is in northern Africa, not in Europe. It's very close to Spain though so apparently a few peoples understand Spanish in Morocco but they mostly speak Arabic and French in Morocco.

Definitely a lot of unique names relating to French, Spanish, Planets, and California as well as Morocco. Totally in line with the name of the company.

Yes, same style switch housing as the Capistrano (which I like as well). And yes, the nice big 188 motor.

Looks like March 9, 2000 to me. Copyright on the box and booklets are also 2000.

I like it cole! Btw my friend has a an AB Capistrano 3 speed with Adaptouch and a bowl light in her bedroom. Pretty decent motor in these fans and they move air! Also quiet. (:

well either way,the person(s) who made up these model names got it from there

Nice one! Seems like it'd be a pretty smooth runner.
