Customer Review: This is a great fan (for deaf people)
I bought 2 ceiling fans, a super gorgeous expensive one from Lamps Plus for our living room, and this little cheapie for the bedroom. On sale for $41; I liked the look of it. I replaced the cheap glass shades with etched amber, and the cheap pulls with ruby chandelier drops. I used the darker blades. When the electrician was installing it, he informed me that the main somethin' was bent!, and that the wrong screws and bolts were in the box. It looked brand new when I bought it. He balanced it with some foam padding, and as I hadn't been sleeping well due to poor air circulation or constant air conditioning, I said just put it up. It was quiet and pretty and I was happy. That didn't last long. The next night (yesterday) it started to sway and tick and knock so loudly that it defeats the whole purpose of being installed in a bedroom. Now I have to go find another fan, hire the electrician to come again, take this one down and replace it. I called OSH to complain, and the manager said he'd reimburse for fan and for electrician's fees. (He'd better!) I even had the electrician talk to him. If you're a new fan buyer like I am, apparently you have to pay a lot more for a quiet fan. Now I know.
Customer Review: A steal of a deal
After looking in lighting stores at fans costing around $130 I Ordered this product from Amazon on a Friday. I took the default (no charge shipping) and I received the product early on Monday afternoon. I installed it myself and had it up and running in about an hour and a half. It runs great.
I read all the reviews so I had concerns before I ordered it but I thought that the price was just too good to turn down.
Keep in mind that this is a small fan, but it is perfect for the room I ordered it for.
The ability to support the motor on the mounting bracket made the installation very easy.
The bird's eye maple blades are quite unattractive so keep that in mind if you are planning to order this product.
I still feel like I got a great deal on this one.
