My Personal Review:
After a month of 24/7 use, I now have some experience. By far the best
ceiling fan at any price. At $55, it moves more air and looks more
contemporary & sleeker than any $500 designer fan. Same fan as the
brushed nickel model so read those reviews as well. Set to the lowest
speed, it moves as much air as some residential fans move at their highest
speed.
I have it mounted above my bed. On the highest speed, it moves so much
air it blows the Sunday paper apart & off the bed. Standard installation will
lower the fan blades almost 2 ft so if you have 8ft ceilings, its too
dangerous for residential installation. The blades are metal, move at an
incredible speed & could probably slice a tomato. You do not want them
clipping your hand. BUT ... the down rod can easily be cut in half (with only
modification being to drill a new cross mounting hole in the rod, keepi ng
the blades safely above 7ft. Have never had to sleep with the fan set to
high but the dogs love sleeping under it on hot days and I find that it takes
minutes to cool down the room before bed if I turn on the A/C + the fan on
high for a few minutes, then back to second lowest speed when I crawl into
bed. Saves running the A/C in there all day.
To address, other writers criticisms:
- the motor itself is whisper quiet. Quieter than many other brands. But it is
impossible to move that much air without hearing the sound of rushing air.
Set on high there almost a slight helicopter chop sound but thats not the
motor, thats the metal blades slicing thru the air. But remember, for me,
the blades are only 4 feet above the bed. Mounted from a 14 ft ceiling, you
might not hear it at all. To me its white noise that drowns out other sounds
(but not the TV) but again, I have never had to set it higher than medium to
stay cool at night. Your choice: strong quiet motor that blows a lot of air
that creates some wind noise set on the highest when you really need it, or
suffer thru a hot night when you are dying for a breeze.
- Lot of criticism of the old fashion looking surface mount box switch. So
much so that I ordered a slide dimmer at the same time. But at ti me of
installation, I read NOT to use an electronic dimmer (why, I dont know).
And know from other installations, some dimmers can cause the motor to
hum. If you have a row of switches, the standard surface box switch could
present an installation challenge. In my case, the fan switch is by itself. So
rather than risk a potential humming noise, I used the provided switch.
After 2 days, I got use to it. It looks like a regular thermostat. Bid deal. Plus
I like that the switch clicks from one speed to the next, as opposed to
sliding. So each position is always the same speed, which matters
because since this fan is powerful, it can take a minute or more for the
motor to get the blades spinning at the speed you set. Theres no second
guessing if you set it to the correct speed like there would be with a sliding
dimmer switch.
- And there is no reverse switch. Again, big deal. Google the web and youll
find some expert opinions that the winter & summer settings for ceiling
fans is a marketing myth. It doesnt matter if the fan pulls the cold air up or
pushes the hot air down, once youve got the air circulating, there are no
longer any different temperature zones in the room. The pros just say to
use low or medium speeds in winter to avoid a wind chill effect.
Lastly, easiest fan Ive EVER installed. All others have required a second
pair of hands to hold it while I connect the wires.
Suggestion:
- mount the blades PRIOR to lifting the motor onto the socket. When its
fully assembled all you have to do is lift the motor with blades and place
the ball into the socket holder. Thats it. No more holding a heavy motor.
Then do the wire connections. There are only 3 blades, easy to work
around them connecting the wires and beats trying to climb even higher
later to mount the blades from the top.
- Use rubber, even plain old weather stripping between all screw
connections, between the holding bracket & the junction box, even
between the ball & the socket to dampen any vibration noise. During the
first week, I would occasionally hear a rhythmic clicking noise if the fan
was set too long at the same speed. It had no relation to the speed of the
fan (so I knew it wasnt the fan blades hitting anything) and it disappeared if
I slightly rocked the based of the fan (carefully) while it was spinning. After
trial and error, I discovered it was the electrical wire nut covers tapping
against each other inside the junction box. Wrapping them with insulating
foam and electrical tape solved the problem.
