We love this fan! Our second floor bedrooms are very hot in summer, but this fan helps enormously. The design is sleek and modern and the motor very quiet. A great buy!

This fan is great! Looks exactly like it does in the picture. Works great; install instructions were easy to follow. Only con is that when you pull on the pullchains, you tilt the fan somewhat since the pull chains are on the side of the light kit housing. Everything else is great.

We've had this fan for several month and have no problems at all. I like it because it is close to the ceiling and being white it does not stand out in the room. It's well balanced and quiet. It's not the highest quality fan in our house, but it is a good solid fan with no problems.

I typically don't write many reviews, but I like Amazon. We are very happy with this fan. Last spring I bought a couple Hampton Bay 52" fans and they are great. This fan is very attractive, and the best part is that it very, very quiet. We got it for our new bedroom we built. My biggest concern was noise. If I hear a fan making constant humm on low, I would never sleep. We are very happy so far. It has been up and used regularly for nearly a month. Cons: the pulls for the light and fan (separate) are kinda cheap looking (picture of a fan and light respectively). I had read a review prior to my purchase that the fan "rocks" too much when you pull a chain. This just isn't the case with ours. It sounds like their fan may not be properly seated in the hanging bracket. I would highly recommend this fan.

This fan looks great and I was hoping that it would be a great buy judging by the past 4 reviews all being 5 stars.

But after installing this fan just now, the High speed has a lot of motor noise, like wah wah wah wah, medium and low speeds are barely audible, but high is way too loud. The previous $20 fan installed didn't make that much noise except for being very unbalanced and the one in my living room that is 13+ years old doesn't sound like that either, and the cheap walmart one my roommate has in his room doesn't even make motor noise.

I'm thinking I must have gotten a defective unit, so I'm gonna return this one and get another to see if there is a difference or not. I'll update the review once I get the new one.

Edit: Didn't even notice it before but when ever I turn on the lights when it's on medium it makes even more motor noise. That leads me to believe something is definitely wrong with the unit I received.

UPDATE 5/7/10: Just installed the new unit and I couldn't be happier, on high this makes minimal motor noise. This may be due to me having this flush mounted to the ceiling giving the motor nothing to damper vibrations between it and the ceiling, but I don't sleep with this on high so I don't see it being a problem. Medium and Low are silent, no noise at all.

So now with the new fan working properly I give this fan 5 stars!

I have installed 10-15 fans in my life. I have never had a fan wobble brand new like this one. I never used a balancing kit before and I will have to for this when i find the time.

the globe is anoying to get straight as it had no absolute seated position. The light is only bright directly below. its very direct light which is the opposite of what I was looking for. Figured I would be safe with a big white diffuser like this has.

The overall look is ok. There are big clownshoe chains that hang not shown in picture. I wish these were removable as I dont plan to control it that way.

I dont feel it looked as good in person as in the ad. Thats my personal opinion other than that it works great.

Replaced a diff fan with this one, to get black instead of brown. Love the low profile. However, even though it moves very quickly, it doesn't seem as productive at cooling as our last fan. It also wobbles A LOT. Maybe we didn't put it in properly, but the other 9 fans we've put in our house don't do this.

I have to agree with alot of these reviews. This fan looks good but it does now flow enough air and the motor is really loud. Also the directions to assumable the fan where not very good. I am shipping this fan back today.

I bought this fan and thought I was getting a fairly high quality fan. But this fan doesn't put out any air flow, even on the highest speed! I can't believe how sub par this fan is. Do not buy this fan.
