4.0 out of 5 stars Good Fan, litle wobbly out the box, February 16, 2008

I installed one of these fans in my bathroom (which has a window) and it works great. I hooked it right up to the light switch so when the light is on the fan is on (or you can pull chain it). lightbulb was not standard and wouldn't accept a compacr fluorescent due to size.

This review is from: Westinghouse 7814565 Turbo Swirl 30-Inch 6-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with Opal Globe (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this fan for a small bedroom- maybe 9X13 in size? Installation was actually very easy. The fan weighs more than it looks but was still lighter than most larger ones. The installation kit was pretty much identical to any other fan and the install process was also the same except that the "light kit" comes preinstalled. Like several other reviewers I was momentarily puzzled about how the blades fasten to the motor, but happened to see the screwdriver slot on the underside of the light area. I wasn't sure at first if I was supposed to use it for fastening the blades, but I decided it would be easier than taking the thing apart. Ends up that's exactly what the slot was designed for. The only twist is that you must install the blades on the bracket before attaching the bracket to the motor unless you have access to the top of the blade after install. This is not possible in a low profile or direct to ceiling application.

My experience in real life with this fan was slightly disappointing. This thing looks like it would put out a nice amount of air, in reality it barely has any downdraft. I notice more air moving SIDEWAYS from the blades. (Not up against the ceiling and out- SIDEWAYS from the plane of the blades. Very strange) The up/down switch on the unit does not change this. I was also disappointed to see the candelabra base bulb socket. Those candelabra bulbs don't last long. The first time I changed the bulb I accidentally dropped the bulb on the globe and broke the globe. The glass that the globe is made of is barely thicker than that of a lightbulb- very fragile. One other reviewer mentioned he has been unable to find a replacement globe. I also have been unable to find one.

I'll try to upload some pictures to the main product description.

Pros:
-Sharp looks
-Price
-Ease of installation

Cons:
-Vague instructions (although easy to figure out)
-not much downdraft air movement
-brittle glass globe
-Candelabra bulbs burn out quickly
-globe too small for CFL bulb
-No replacement globe easily found
-Really ugly without a globe

I have a very small bedroom. This fan is very small and quiet, yet generates alot of air. The light portion of the fan could be brighter, and is candleabra base, which is harder to find. Over all I'm happy with it.
