Nice Fan for a Very Nice Price

I bought 2 of these for my garage. To make them hang at the correct height from a 9' ceiling, I cut the down rods short and drilled a few new holes. That worked like a charm. The fans move a lot of air and are quiet, except for the sound of the blades cutting through the air. I love the industrial look of these things. Both came with the huge fan speed controllers. I swapped those out for the normal size Westinghouse controllers available here on Amazon. Even with the added cost of the controller, this fan is a bargain. Highly recommended so far.

Best ceiling fan at ANY price

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, it's 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, keeping 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 that's not the motor, that's 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 it's "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 time of installation, I read NOT to use an electronic dimmer (why, I don't 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. There's 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 you'll find some expert opinions that the "winter" & "summer" settings for ceiling fans is a marketing myth. It doesn't matter if the fan pulls the cold air up or pushes the hot air down, once you've 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 I've 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 it's fully assembled all you have to do is lift the motor with blades and place the ball into the socket holder. That's 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 wasn't 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.

Great fan, great look, GREAT deal.

It would be hard to overstate how much I love this fan...I cannot believe it was so inexpensive and works so well and looks so good. I have it in a loft office space where circulating air can be really helpful to beat the heat and MAN this fan moves the air!! It has a really simple, clean industrial look to it - not really eye-grabbing exactly but when you DO notice it, it just looks great and definitely does NOT look cheap. From having read the other reviews, I knew we'd have to wire it into the wall and I wish I could tell you how to do that but all I can do is show you what the wall switch looks like after it was wired in. The other pic is a before pic, just to show how much more modern this fan made the space look! This fan is a GREAT deal.

A super deal here

Excellent value, super quiet, moves plenty of air on low speed in our 2400sf high ceiling shop (we installed 2). Got a Lutron TGFSQ-FH-WH Toggler Fan Speed Control at the advice of other amazons, (the included control unit is very bulky, won't fit in a standard single switch box, and is not reported to work well) and for under $100 delivered, we have a robust, attractive, and efficient air mover. Will buy more of these in the future.

Great for garages.

Installed 3 of these in my garage to keep air moving on those hot AZ summer days. I ended up cutting the rods down and drilling a new hole so they didn’t hang so low. I also threw away the clunky controls and added wireless remotes/controllers for each fan.

Nice looking fan

Probably the best looking fan on the market, especially if you're trying to go for a modern look. I bought 3 for our house and they do look very cool. I didn't install the 1960s looking speed control, but rather, bought a 4 speed in-wall switch which works great. Note that these are industrial fans and, as such, are noisy on high and may not be perfectly balanced. All but the highest speed are quiet enough not to annoy. Unfortunately, the one I installed in the bedroom isn't balanced and makes the same ticking noise that others have reported. I'm currently looking for a fix which may involve a little grease on the hanger ball or another means of attaching it. Considering that most designer fans (ones that don't look like they belong in the 1980s) cost at least $300 and go up from there, I'll buy another if need be and still be well ahead.

It's like a mounted TORNADO

Awesome fan! I've had a very small issue where one of the three fan blades was bent a hair and this caused an issue with balancing. Easily fixable not that big of a deal. The fan is CRAZY! Moves so much air. I actually have it installed in my room and turned it on 5 to see what it's capable of... it was moving my curtains, ends of my pillow cases... really awesome! NOTE TO BUYER If you are going to plan to install it in a residential setting like a house, be prepared to cut the rod and drill the bolt hole again. It comes with a rod long enough for diners and restaurants ... it's a hazard to your limbs if you leave it as low as it will be! Pros -light weight -easily installed -powerful Cons -remote is from the back to the future series -motor is quite but turbulence from the blades takes some getting used to.

Good looking and functioning fan

Great fan for $65! I put it on the porch. Doesn't get droopy like the plastic fantastic ones do in the south. The controller is HUGE and pretty ugly for my application (making the wife happy) so I got a Lutron 3 speed controller. If you just use a rheostat it will hum. But if I used it in the garage I would have kept the big 70s controller because it has 5 speeds forward and backward. Anyway. Really nice fan. Looks really good in person and moves a lot of air.

awesome fan with 2 drawbacks

Love the clean modern lines of this fan. It was easy to install and moves some serious air when on high. Very happy with it. The drawbacks to me were the remote. Seriously, Westinghouse? It's beyond 'retro' and not in a quirky or unique way. Ridiculous. Anyone buying this fan will have to buy your Westinghouse 7787200 Ceiling Fan Wall Control . It's a given so why not just add it to the fan? Add $10 and it is still a great deal. Second issue is there is no reverse. I almost did not buy due to this but I really like the fan and am glad I did go for it.. I still gave the fan 5 stars even with these two issues. One was an easy workaround and the other I gave up but still got a great fan with a nice look and great functionality otherwise.
