what about the moss WF series? the housing doesn't spin like regular spinner fans, yet you call it a spinner anyway. That GE fan is almost the same as the WF series fans. No, because the GE fan does not have a spinner motor. I've posted this before, but I'll go over it again: All spinner fans have spinner motors. Just because a fan has a spinner motor, doesnt necessarily mean it's a spinner fan. Confused? A spinner motor, we all know this, it's a motor with the rotor on the outside of the stator. The motor casing is bolted together with the rotor and the entire assembly spins. The blade brackets bolt directly to the motor casing. Almost all fans made nowdays have this sort of motor, it's become the standard because it's cheaper to produce. A spinner fan has such a motor with no housing surrounding it. The motor itself is exposed and the blades bolt directly to it, usually on top. I also consider top-mount fans with a bottom housing piece and a spinner motor to be 'spinner fans'. because the are essentially the same as a spinner fan with one decorative piece added, the top of the motor is still exposed.

the old ge is not a spinner motor , it has all the windings and rotor of any older ge fan or hunter, just the bottom is closed off and the bladed mount at the top.....this early fan was promoted to buyers wanting a ceiling fan in the 30's but did not have the ceiling height. sort of a very early hugger. believe me, ge would have never disgraced there good name and put in a spinner motor like hunter has......i own 2- of them,and would never--knowingly buy any fan that has a spinner "wanna-be" motor in it. hope this ends this feud......adrian
