Hey all, thanks for the scoop! I was needing a ceiling fan anyway and was hoping for one with a remote...even if I had to add one. I was actually at Lowe's last Sunday and found no decent deals. I think this fan may have been a special purchase for this weekend as I do not recall seeing it last weekend.

I bought a bottle of water to get the $10 coupon so this one ended up being $49 including a remote (with is normally an extra $25), so a great deal. I agree with the previous poster about the white fans looking somewhat cheap, but I picked up a "brushed nickel" model and it looks much better. I'm not a "fan connoisseur" by any means, but it works fine and installed easily. The 3 candelabra bulbs are actually brighter than I expected and dim easily using the remote.

Got one, fr a less important room, installed the remote in another bedroom fan. Thanks OP...

One note, if you have low ceilings, these fans are not for you. You HAVE to use the drop rod, which would potentially make it too low in certain situations. The fan is not made to flush mount installations.

got a dump question. Can I use both pulley chain and remote to operate this fan ? Or do i need to pick one of the two options when i wire it ?

The only ones they had on display--and in stock for that matter were the all white ones--which I always think look cheap. Maybe if they'd had some with dark wood grain left I'd have felt differently.

really? the brushed nickel with cherry/black was on display at mine and looked pretty nice for $60 with a remote. why they call it cherry doesn't make any sense to me since it doesn't look cherry at all. i could have gotten another model for $5 less that was originally over $100 but elected for this one because of the remote and the ability to use standard bulbs

Thanks OP.

I don't think it looks cheap at all (I bought the nickel one). When you are installing it, the metal seems a little thin, but looks fine. And while I appreciate the easy install fan blades, something just doesn't seem right about them...they look and work fine, just seems kind cheezy.

The fan uses 17.5 inches of space from ceiling, and as the previous poster noted, no flush mount option. Cutting the drop rod isn't really an option for this particular fan, as there are screws to tighten in the canopy, which are difficult enough with the short drop rod, and would get particularly difficult with a shorter one.

folks, i need help.

i have two problems

The fan wobbles at high speed. Runs fine at Med and low. I checked the mount, looks fine. You think the blades need balancing ?

Also the lights dont work. The fan works fine both with pulley chain and the remote but light does not work at all. I checked the connections.

Any suggestions ? thanks

finddeals2 said:? I am debating on buying the fan. How is the noise (some fans make lot of wind noise and it is difficult to sleep in the Bedroom).
The local store does not have a display.

Noise level is about the same as the other fan I have in another bedroom (sorry dont have the actual DB levels measured). At medium and low, you would not notice a thing but a high, as you would expect to an extent, there is some wind noise.

What communist country do you live in that requires a permit to install a ceiling fan?

The peoples' republic of Fairfax County, VA. I'm not kidding.
