In our mid century modern home, we needed to improve the efficiency of the hvac system. Our architect recommended this fan for moving the air trapped in the peak of the open living/dining room to increase the overall comfort and save on energy. We chose white because we didn't want to "celebrate" the fan but make it apart of the hvac system. It's very lightweight and was super easy to install.

We're renovating a new home and purchased this fan based on our previous experience with Modern Fan. The Cirrus design is elegant and functional. I was most surprised to learn directly from Modern Fan that YLighting offers the most variety in blade size. The house is a petite California Ranch so a smaller blade was key in staying true to the overall architecture.

By: Lisa K., Designer  (Newark, DE)

This is my second Cirrus fan from your company and I just love the style. It's streamlined, sleek, beautiful and helps to circulate the air in my office. I use it every day, all day.

By: Stanely J., Homeowner  (Palm Beach, Florida)

First off..made 3 calls to the modern fan company and their phone eticate is terrible. Also, make sure that you don't open the cheesy cellophane wrapper on the blades or they are not returnable....even if you feel you need a longer size. So basically just hold it up there in the wrapper to decide. I guess having to re-wrap the blades is a big hassle for them. Otherwise fan is good-looking. Just don't call the company for any questions as they are very snobby.

By: Wandamae, Homeowner  (Sonoma)

This was the fifth fan I have ordered. These fans are attractive and very quiet and efficient. Having a remote in addition to the wall switch is a plus. You can now turn off the fans from the bed.

Well worth the price.

By: Sandy O., Homeowner  (Santa Barbara, CA)

We installed the fan in a loft area in our attic. It fits well under the sloped ceiling and has a clean uncluttered look. We could only fit a 36' wingspan in the space. A larger wingspan would probably be more effective.

Installation was not quite a breeze, but you don't need a professional to do it. Just make sure you have at least two people working on it.

By: B.G.,   (Washington, DC)

I got the Cirrus Ceiling Fan for our remodeled kitchen.

It sets the tone for a clean, modern look in the kitchen.

The only thing is when it was on the floor it looked big, but up in the ceiling it looked alittle smaller than I would've liked it to be. But if you are looking for a modern fan, you won't be disappointed

By: Eunshin K., Homeowner  (Cincinnati, OH)

The product is clean and very effective .I will buy more ....

By: Keith F., Homeowner  (los angeles)

The ceiling fan looks great and works well. Installation is straight forward with the exception of screwing the fan blades to motor, particularly the middle screw of each blade.

By: William M., Homeowner  (East Hampton NY)

This fan will go in a room with a lot of mid-century style furniture. It fits perfectly!

By: Michelle K., Designer  (Arcadia, CA)

It matches other fans throughout the project but the extender option was great to customize the exact drop of the fan. Having the switch and remote control together is a great feature.

By: Store D.,   (NY, NY, USA)

Well made and beautiful design

By: Fareeda A., Architect

As an architect I am very pleased with the aesthetics and practicality of this product. It is a pleasure to both use and look at. I am also impressed with the prompt and efficient service after placing the order.

By: Derek B., Homeowner  (Providence RI USA)

It's hard to find modern ceiling fans other then Modern Fan Company. They have great designs that function well but their quality doesn't match the price. If it was cheaper I would have been happier with the fan. I would recommend this product but love to see some competitors join the market.

By: , Homeowner  (Denver)

The fan moves air around really well, and is very quiet. The halogen light throws nice lighting. Definitely get the remote and wall control, you'll appreciate the convenience.

By: Adam A., Architect  (DC)

i looked for a modern fan and and happy i went with the cirrus fan with halogen light. the price seems a little high, but i haven't found an alternative that is as well-designed as this one.

the installation is fairly complicated, but the directions were thorough. i also purchased the controls (2-wire with dimmer & remote). they work well, but i would rather have purchased a fan control that match style of the other dimmers/switches in the house.

By: M.K., Homeowner  (seattle, wa)

I fell for the design of this fan and it is indeed beautiful. It is very quiet and the 350 light kit is perfect. Installation instructions are clear and easy to follow, a little difficult to actually perform. But the struggle is worth it !

I was however disappointed by the material of the blades, they seem to be plastic or cheap wood. For a special design like this I had expected them to be aluminum.

By: Arda, Homeowner  (Texas)

Bought this fan for my living room with a 3 foot downrod. It sits very well and is well balanced. Beautiful piece and the lighting attachment works well, not too awkward as some fans are.

Functionality is great and installation was easy, despite being 12 feet up off the ground!

By: Jonathan L., Homeowner  (PA)

Fan has a quiet slow speed, which keeps us cool and supplied with fresh air in our bedroom. The remote control and wall switch are easy to use in the dark. Note that the remote turns the light on and off, while the wall switch allows for dimming.

By: Dremark,   (Lancaster, PA)

The fan came right away- we didn't have to wait at all. It works great- the 52" blade span really moved air around and keeps our bedroom incredibly cool on hot days.

By: Kate M., Homeowner

Great, modern design, efficient, and quiet--all for a good price. 50W halogen light doesn't light the entire room, but good enough for nice ambiance. Drawback: installation a bit more cumbersome than expected, and you have to uninstall bottom cap to switch between summer and winter mode--not very practical.

By: Holger, Homeowner  (Washington DC)

It's such a clean classic look and I really like this fan. I saw this fan a few years ago in a catalog and when I was ready to purchase, I did some online searching and found the best price at YLighting - very sleek modern design.

By: Caroline C., Homeowner  (Thousand Oaks, CA, USA)

We ordered two Cirrus fans. They arrived promptly, look great, and work well. YLighting support was friendly and helpful - we had questions about the color and they gave us useful advice.

By: David,   (NYC)

very happy with the service,price and speed of delivery

By: steve a, Homeowner

We are very pleased with this fan. There are no surprises, it looks just like the picture, and works very well!

By: catmandu,   (New York)

We ordered 2 with lights and one without. All three work great.. powerful & quiet.

By: catmandu75, Homeowner  (New York)

Love the fan. Easy to installl

By: J. H.,   (SC)

Very happy with purchase. Great price and delivery was quicker than I expected. The fan is chic and functional.

By: Jane M., Architect

I've had a number of these fans in my house for the last 10 years. I just purchased another one for my guest bedroom - this is my fourth. They work well, are quiet but above all offer affordable good design.

By: Karin S., Homeowner  (Scottsdale, AZ)

Usually I prefer function over fashion but this fan accomplishes both!

By: Scott H., Designer  (Denver, CO)

Fan arrived on time as scheduled. Parts were highly organized with easy to follow instructions. The fan that was ordered was a Cirrus fan with wireless remote. Retro and contemporary at the same time, extremely pleased.

I bought this product a long time ago. I use it very day during summer. Never have problem. Make my living look very comtemporary

By: Gey B., Designer  (Edgewater,NJ)

I have ordered a houseful of these great fans for a second time, after moving cross country to a new home. This fan creates a great movement of air compared to many others we reviewed, and the style is classic. Contemporary, but not over the top. They are beautiful and reliable. Plus YLighting is a great company to work with. I would purchase these again!

By: Lynn S., Homeowner  (Ohio)

We ordered this fan for it's simplicity, clean lines, and modern feel. We received a fan with all that and more. It works beautifully.

By: Gabi, Homeowner  (Seatle, WA, USA)

This ceiling fan is a design statement while providing all of the efficiencies of air circulation in a large room. The availability of multiple choices for controls, length of installation rod and sloped ceiling mounting make the product nicely suited to different purchase needs.

By: K. D., Homeowner  (Boston)

Arrived right on time, and looks beautiful hanging in my living room. It's very quiet and appears to be of high quality. Very happy with my purchase from Y Lighting.

By: Brian L., Homeowner  (Minnetonka, MN)

Not only are they beautiful but move a ton of air as well. A great purchase.

By: Christopher E., Homeowner  (Lost Rabbit, MS)

Solid, well-built and beautiful ceiling fan. Fits well with minimalist decor and eliminated need to buy another air conditioning unit.

By: Peter M., Architect  (Montreal, Qc, Canada)

I can see why this fan has become iconic...it is well-made and functions beautifully. Fits in nearly all decors. I have ordered one for each room!

By: Tennen C., Architect  (Phoenix,AZ)

The design of these fans is very restrained. They seem to function well and perform their job without being seen.

By: David K., Homeowner  (New York, NY)

We have six of these fans in our house and two on an OCEANFRONT porch. The ones in the house are still great after 10 years. The two on the porch just had to be replaced, but with the constant salt air, humidity and winter storms coming from the ocean only 150 yards away, we were amazed that they lasted as long as they did! We replaced them with the exact same model. They not only are durable, they are quiet and look great.

installed the fan about a month ago. no problems whatsoever. the light casts good general diffuse light in our livingroom and when the fan is on high, it remains stable and the very slight, but somehow soothing, whirrrr is all you hear.

By: Sadie S., Designer  (brooklyn, ny)

By: Sadie S.,   (brooklyn, ny)

I unfortunately bought four of these fans. At the highest speed ALL Four make a wobbly ticking sound that is very irritating - rendering them unusable at high speeds. When its 100 degrees here the high speed is what i need. Also, the fan blades are wood and they bend and warp....not what i expected.

By: Laurie, Designer  (Palm Springs)

As an interior designer I am not only always looking for beautiful products that function well, I am also looking for company's with good customer service.

I have purchased three Cirrus ceiling fans by Modern Fan Company and I am very pleased with how they look and also with how they cool the spaces where they are installed.

When I unpacked one of the fans I realized the globe for the light was cracked. Ylighting instantly sent me a new globe, no questions asked which is a testament to their good customer service. I will definitely continue buying products from Ylighting!

By: Brian E., Homeowner  (New York)

It is a FANTASTIC fan! Not sure about the quality of the blades. The quality was questionable.

By: Stephanie B., Homeowner  (cedar hill Texas)

We have four Cirrus ceiling fans, three regular and one Hugger and they are excellent. Not only is the design beautiful, these fans are extremely well made, quiet in operation and do a superb job of cooling. As others have noted, the only flaw in the design is the need to take off the bottom housing to get at the switch to reverse the fan's speed. It's an annoyance, yes, but a small price to pay for such a great fan. On our previous fans, we have used the wall-mounted fan/light control, but on the two new fans, I opted for the remote, and I love it. The remote itself is slender and beautifully designed. You just can't go wrong with Modern Fan's Cirrus.

By: Kate, Homeowner  (Washington, DC)

Bought 2 of these fans to use outside, they do a great job cooling the area down and also help keep the mosquitos away. They are quiet and work well without much wobble.

By: Eric, Homeowner  (Houston)

It was hard to screw on the bottom dome. I had to add some oil, and some tape so the felt would pass over the fan when screwing it on. There were also some plastic pieces under the dome that were rattling, taping them up fixed it.

The fan runs smooth and quietly. The tolerances don't look all that high. as the fan turns the distance between the metal seams fluctuates a bit. Something only I will notice, so not worth the effort of returning.

By: chippyhotdog, Homeowner  (Portland, OR, USA)

I love the Cirrus Fan. It's contemporary and industrial looking. Very simple and great design. It's also well made-- we love it.

By: Karen C., Designer  (Cleveland, Ohio)

Gorgeous, came the next day, owner loved them.

By: Mark G., Homeowner  (Lyons, OR)

We had this fan installed by an electrician, so I can't comment on that aspect of it. The fan itself is very quiet, silent on the lowest setting, and moves air well. The light is excellent as well, very pleasant and not too bright.

By: Milwauke, Homeowner  (DC)

Terrific fan. Moves air and looks fabulous.

By: New Porch people, Homeowner  (New York)

Chose this fan for my office as the final touch on a major renovation. Moves air well (main space of the office is about 12x10) and is very quiet. It goes without saying that it's a handsome design which counts for a lot given the preponderance of unsightly ceiling fans flooding the market.

Y Lighting's price (with free shipping) was the best I could find in the world, both physical and virtual.

By: Steve, Homeowner  (Brooklyn, NY)

I got the Cirrus fan without the light kit with the brushed aluminum finish - installed it on a ceiling pitched about 30 degrees and it instaled beautifully in about 45 minutes. Directions were well written. Wired it for light in case I decide to add one later - the hand held remote is cleanly designed and really simple to use - three speeds on fan - it is super quiet, the quietest I've ever not heard. Actually, the wind created on high speed is the only sound you will hear. The Cirrus is such a beautiful design that accomplishes seemingly disparate aesthetic objectives - industrial simplicity and elegance.

By: Mark B.,   (Richmond, VA)

By: Karen C., Homeowner

I love the fan's plain design which is refreshingly different from all those cheesy generic fans on the market. Over all, the fan is very well made.

There are a few minor aspects that could be improved: (i) The canopy is relative small. Thus, it can be a challenge to manage the cables. Also, if you are replacing a fixture that had a larger canopy, you may have to touch up your celling. (ii) The installation of the blades is cumbersome. (iii) The fan speed control (#001) is counter intuitive as setting "1" corresponds to highest whereas setting "4" corresponds to lowest fan speed.

By: Homeowner, Homeowner  (NJ)

By: mehmet e., Homeowner  (new orleans)

Love it. Its quiet and powerful. I'm a designer, so the streamlined design really appealed to me, and it fits nicely in the decor of the loft.

By: Paul M., Homeowner  (Longmont, CO)

I wanted a modern looking fan with a nice looking light. This is very hard to find but the cirrus fan with the halogen light kit really looks nice.

By: Scott M, Homeowner  (Florida)

We have used the Cirrus model in every home we have lived in. They are sleek, modern and durable. Never had a problem!

By: Rebecca M R., Homeowner  (Florida)

This is an excellent, quiet, well-designed, good to look at, fan.

By: Bernard W., Designer  (Salem)

This fan is an excellent fan with a fantastic modern/deco look that is very streamlined. yLighting was great to deal with and shipped everything quickly and efficiently.

By: Suds, Architect  (New York, NY)

I WAS LOOKING FOR A CONTEMPORARY FAN WITH A LOW VOLTAGE DOWNLIGHT. THIS FAN WORKED OUT PERFECTLY FOR THE APPLICATIONS THAT I NEEDED IT FOR.

I HAD A COUPLE OF SMALL PROBLEMS WITH MY ORDER, AND AN E-MAIL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN AN IMMEDIATE REPLY. THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, AND THE ITEMS WERE SHIPPED ASAP.

IT WAS ALSO A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH Y-LIGHTING. EVERYONE WAS COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL, AND THE PRICING WAS VERY COMPETITIVE.

THANK YOU.

The product arrived in less than 4 days. The assembly and installation were very simple. The fan looks great, does not wobble and is very quiet.

By: Ron S., Homeowner  (Lenexa, Kansas)

I love my new Cirrus Ceiling Fan. The design is fabulous and it's so wonderful having an overhead light in the room. But, the addition of the remote next to my bed is unbelievable. I purchased a second remote so I can walk in the room and turn on the light.

Working with YLighting was easy, convenient and rewarding.

After consulting with the YLighting staff and placing the order, the fan arrived as expected, well packed and easy to install. The additional longer down rod orderd was quick and easy to replace. The overall quality of the fan is solid and well manufactured.

I plan on ordering another Cirrus for a second location in my home.

By: justin a, Homeowner  (Salt Lake City, Utah)

It is very quiet operation fan

very efficient !

By: wilson D., Homeowner  (New York,New York)

Clean, modern good looks. I was worried about the 3-blade design, but it circulates an impressive amount of air. I had a professional electrician install it, so I don't know how hard it was to install, but once installed it's very stable, no wobbling. I ordered the halogen spot light kit to preserve the look of the fan. It doesn't add a lot of light to the room, but that's OK because we just wanted extra light right there for reading and playing games. Now we want more of these fans for the rest of the house!

By: Susan N., Homeowner

I have another cirrus fan in my house, loved it so much I just had to have another one!

By: Cheryl B., Homeowner  (Woodland Hills, CA)

the 3 blade light works perfectly for our 50s home. Love the eco-friendly light as well

By: JOANNE A., Homeowner  (MIAMI, FL 33015)

Really like the modern sleek look. The control options are worth the extra $ to upgrade those. Got the halogen spot - great for accent lighting (don't plan to use for actually lighting the room). Shopped around and this was a great price. Shipping was quick and with no hassles.

By: rsb97, Homeowner  (hoboken, nj)

It is a great fan and looks great. I have it in the bedroom and it is pretty quiet. I had it tuned on all night while I slept.

By: Roger N., Homeowner

I am extremely happy with the purchase of these fans! They are solid and have a precise response to the control (fan speed). None of the 3 fans I bought woble or make any strange noices. This is a great product!

I was disappointed with the delivery lead times: The first time I tried to order my fans the response was a 3-4 week lead time (I then cancelled my order.) The second time around the lead time was 2 weeks, which was much better.

Finally, I do have a complaint regarding e-mail communication with customer service: When I cancelled my first order I did get a cancellation acknowledgment but did not get the credit on my account. I sent them several e-mails regarding this situation but never got a response (I had to resolve the issue on the phone.) On my second order I also sent them one e-mail requesting clarification on the product I had ordered and never got a response. Fortunately, when I got my 3 fans they were exactly what I had ordered and I am very happy.

By: Ernesto G., Homeowner  (Guadalajara, Mexico)

The Cirrus fan has a great design that goes with almost any decor. There are several control options including remote control. The fan is very stable and quiet when running and very effective at circulating the air.

By: Patrick K., Homeowner  (Austin, Texas)

I spied this beautiful fan in a designer catalog but found it here @ a better price. Assembly was diffucult, but possible. There is an issue w/ keeping it running evenly & quietly due perhaps to its mobility, but for now, just turning it off overnight & restarting it is the answer. Again, the beauty thing--we are willing to tinker if necessary to keep it on our ceiling!

By: Karen, Homeowner  (NC)

The fan circulates air sensationally. The light is great. The blades are a little wobbly and more flimsy than I expected, but it's probably safer that way. When we first put them up, all I could think was "uh-oh, they look like B52 bombers," but I have gotten over that in favor of how well they work. So far, anyway.

By: Jane B. A.,   (Vermont)

Thin fan makes your room look like it is in a W hotel! No unnecessary parts and a stylish design. Slow and medium speed are perfect, I never even have to put it on full speed because it is so highly efficient. The hand-held remote (control #3) is perfect: No cables, no switches on the wall! The remote controls a receiver unit inside the fan. I had never installed a ceiling fan in my life and yet had no problems whatsoever assembling and installing the fan. The fan was okay balanced out of the box, but I used the balancing kid (included) to perfect the balance and now the fan is perfectly balanced at low and medium speed and moves just a little, little bit at full speed (you can hardly see it and only feel it when you touch the fan).

By: Billyburg,   (Brooklyn, NY)

its such a great design and adds so much class to the room

By: matthewr, Designer  (corning, ny)

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE

By: matt t, Homeowner  (corning, ny)

We love this fan. The only thing I wish that would be different is the wall switch. The wall switch seems backwards... 0 is off, 1 is high and 4 is low. Overall, this is an awesome looking and feeling fan.

By: Brooke T., Homeowner  (Carlsbad, CA, USA)

I bought a hugger and 2 regular Cirrus fans. I would skip the hugger and use a small rod if your ceiling is low. The fans run well and quietly. I would have given it 5 stars except for the wall switch and reverse switch. The wall switch with the light dimmer is not the prettiest available out there and you have to remove the light cover or lower housing if you reed to reverse direction, but who does that anyway?

Overall a handsome, quiet and efficient fan. YLighting is always a pleasure to deal with.

By: Stanley R., Homeowner  (Boston, MA)

The perfect fan to go in my rooms filled with Florence Knoll Lounge seating, Mies van der Rohe Brno seating, and Harry Bertoia seating. Brushed sleek aluminum style allows it to blend well with modern era furniture. Highly recommended.

Originally saw this fan in a DesignWithinReach showroom for $400. Saved over 22% at YLighting.

Body and rod is solid heavy aluminum construction with course brush with detail that can be seen across the room. Blades are painted wood. Found it easy to install. Must awkwardly unscrew bottom to get at reverse switch, so if you need to switch from up to down a lot, not for you.

Standard 13” down rod seems adequate for 12’ ceiling. High speed fan quickly cools down large 30’ room.

If you must get a light, get the 350 halogen down light to keep the style.

By: VAUGHN H., Homeowner  (Tampa FL USA)

I installed this fan myself and it was pretty easy. Looks great and works great so far!

By: Michael N., Homeowner  (Houston, Texas)

I really love Modern Fans. They're made extremely well and look great. They're quiet and efficient and really help to cool our space without having to use the A/C.

By: Andrew O., Homeowner  (Chicago, IL, USA)

I love the look of the fan, and it really works in my room. I am surprised at how loud the fan is though. I wish it was quieter.

By: Tim J., Homeowner  (Cary, NC)

a great product/great service/great price, thanks.

By: Gregory S., Homeowner  (Owings Mills, Md)

The Cirrus fan from modern fan company is beautiful. It is made of heavy gauge stainless steel that compliments any modern interior. We did have some difficulty with the remote mechanism. However, Ylighting did a great job with sending us a replacement right away. Overall, well worth the money.

By: Chris WJ, Homeowner  (San Francisco, CA)

I was very pleased with the quick delivery of the fan. This is a great fan with clean lines. Installation was a snap. Colors of wires were standard as with other fans. Standard installation procedure. I did a replacement of another fan and I only had to change a minor bracket (supplied) to hook up the Cirrus fan. My Harbor Breeze remote control that I had for the old fan worked perfectly for the Cirrus.

I am already a big fan of the fan....

By: Thomas K., Architect  (New Orleans, LA, USA)

This fan performs as well as it looks. I have 20' ceilings in my loft and even with the fan mounted 18' up, the air circulates no problem. The installation was also a breeze. One of the issues I have with the fan is that reversing it has to be performed by removing the cover and manually flipping the switch. Needless to say I have it permanantly set in the 'summer' position. The reason I did not get hte light kit was because the fan was being installed so high up... I like it so much, I am looking at purchasing another one for the mezzanine area.

By: J. Hopkins, Homeowner  (Richmond, VA)

Our fan arrived only a couple of weeks ago; we proceeded to install it over the weekend. The fan itself is beautiful and seems to work well, but we ran into some difficulties during installation. There are simple instructions, including pictures; however there are no photos of parts that relate to our specific fan. We were missing a screw, yet had 4 small screws left over. They seem to be for a different model fan. The instructions were also not clear enough when it came to wiring our fan (we bought the remote-and have the halogen light kit). My husband has installed 3 or 4 other fans over the years and has done quite a bit of wiring/rewiring in our home, so he's quite competent. Eventually we got it installed, but had to wait till Monday to call for the extra light cover screw. The woman who answered the phone was quite knowledgeable and sent out the screw immediately. I also mentioned to her that our fan came with a 75 watt halogen bulb; however the light socket and the light cover both had stickers warning against using any bulb over 60 watts. She was surprised and knew nothing of the problem. She did say that she'd look into it immediately.

I still have not been able to install the final screw. With the other two already installed, the third one does not line up with its corresponding hole. I've tried loosening the other 2 screws to no avail. Tonight, my husband and I will try finessing all three screws into the light cover in different combinations.

Overall, we love the fan (and remote). We have the brushed aluminum, but we feel that such a high end fan should have better quality control.

By: Debbie O., Architect  (Redwood City, CA USA)

We needed a fan for a modern kids room. The ceiling was only 8' and also they wanted bunkbeds. This fan looks great! Is very quiet, and with the optional light - there is much more light in this room. We also used this in a tv room and it looks very sophisticated, while doing a great job of circulating the air quietly....

By: B Architect, Homeowner  (brooklyn)

This is my second fan by Modern Fan. The industrial design is so much more interesting than the typical "country home" look so popular in the US. In addition to great design, I'm very pleased with the simple controls and its effective circulation of air.

By: Philip C, Designer  (New York)

Delivered quickly and without any damage. Fan is visually clean and modern, as desired.

By: Customer, Homeowner  (State College, PA)

At the suggestion of my architect, I went to YLighting to check out fans for my residential rennovation project. I did my due dilligence and looked elsewhere, but sure enough, YLighting had everything I wanted and at the best price. The fans arrived quickly and in excellent shape. Tracking the order was a breeze. I'll be back the next time I'm in need of more lighting!

By: C. F., Homeowner  (New York)

I purchased the fan today over the phone. Blare was the gentleman that assisted me with the sale.

Not only did he know the product inside and out, he was instrumental in choosing the correct lighting option.

I am doing a renovation on my Loft and without receiving this fan yet I just know that it will make this space so cool!!

Can't wait to put it up.

thanks

By: Loft Owner, Homeowner  (S. Norwalk, CT)

we ordered the fan with the maple blades. up close the blades were not very nice looking. they looked sort of cheap. fortunately the fan is very high up and the blades look great from a distance. in retrospect i think we should have gone with aluminum blades.

By: daniel k., Homeowner  (montpelier, vt)

This was the most expensive fan I put in my apartment after remodeling (of 4 total). It was one of the few Energy Star ceiling fans with a 36-inch diameter option to choose from. It is a well-built, heavy fan that looks very nice. My contractor commented on it, agreeing that it was attractive and well-made.

However, for the price, I do think there are some design issues that are cumbersome. The fan includes a small screwdriver to remove the housing and change the light. One must also remove the housing to reverse the direction of the fan as well. The other fans I purchased can be reversed using their remote controls.

Also, I chose the wall-mounted remote for this fan as I had a single circuit on which to run it. It was the most expensive choice in controls. Looking at the website, it appears that this remote can be removed from the housing. When I think "remote control", I think of a free-standing unit which can be held in one's hand. This unit does not come out of the housing in the wall.

Lastly, I chose an incandescent fixture, assuming that I could simply install a CFL bulb. The wall-mounted "remote", however, operates the light with a dimmer. I haven't tested whether a CFL would work, but I think it might not. I chose energy efficient fixtures throughout my house, so I'm disappointed that I might be stuck using an incandescent with this one.

I'm an average homeowner with not a lot of knowledge in the electrical trade. If you are a homeowner attempting to make an on-line purchase, you may want to check with your electrician that you're getting what you expect.

Simplicity at its best. This 3-bladed aluminum fan is perfectly and solidly crafted. With the (optional) 4 speed adjustable control set to the highest revolution, this fan moves so much air it feels like it might take flight -- without a hint of a wobble or noise. I couldn't be happier.
