Designed for Low Ceilings
The Westinghouse Contempra Trio fan is one of Westinghouse's Hugger series of fans, which are specially designed for rooms with low ceilings. This 42-inch ceiling fan is best suited for medium-sized rooms, such as recreation rooms, living rooms, or children's bedrooms.

Reversible Blades and Reversible Switch
The Contempra Trio's five blades are reversible, so you can choose the finish that best suits your room's decor. The attractive wooden blades operate smoothly and efficiently.

For year-round comfort and maximum energy savings, Westinghouse ceiling fans include a three-speed, reversible switch that allows the ceiling fans to be used during cool or warm weather. In the summer, keep your home cool by running your ceiling fan counterclockwise. In the winter, run your ceiling fan clockwise to circulate warm air from the ceiling, eliminating cold spots and drafts.

Light Kit with a Trio of Frosted Glass Shades
Equipped with a light kit, the Contempra Trio fan features three lights that hang beneath the center of the fan. The lighting fixture's frosted glass shades provide a soft hue of light. If you choose, use compact fluorescent bulbs to increase efficiency and reduce your energy costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Buy, January 17, 2010

This review is from: Westinghouse 7861500 Contempra Trio Three-Light 42-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted Glass Shades (Tools & Home Improvement)

This ceiling fan is an excellent buy for the money. I was pleasantly suprised at how it looked after I installed it in my Living Room. I have read the other reviews about the fan making noise, so I was a bit skeptical about buying it, but I bought it anyways. Boy I am glad I did! This is a really good looking ceiling fan. Gives the room a classy, but not too flashy look. Every person who has come to the house after I installed this has complimented on it. As far as noise, I experienced none. Just make sure when you put the blades together with the arms, make certain that the screws are good and tight. I used a cordless DeWalt drill with the torque setting set low to #12 to assure a good tight fit. I actually was so impressed with the looks and operation of this fan that I immeadiately went back to amazon.com and bought another fan exactly like this one, for my kitchen. Same review - absolutely no problems, none whatsoever. Shipping was very fast with the free super saver shipping, I got it in about 3 days after ordering. Wal-Mart offers this same exact fan, but it is priced about $20 higher.
ONE THING I WILL STRESS: Absolutely DO NOT and I mean, DO NOT waste your time buying the cheap candelabra candle tip bulbs - It seems to me that it burns through a lot of them. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot (or even here at Amazon.com) and buy the CFL (Compact Flourescent Light Bulbs) Candelabra base bulbs. I've had the CFL bulbs in there for almost two months in the living room fan and they are yet to burn out. But I have the regular ones in the kitchen and have had all three burn out once already. So, pay the extra money and get the CFL bulbs. They will last longer and you'll save money in the long run.... 13 Watt CFL = 60 Watt Incandescent. Also keep in mind that CFL bulbs can be purchased in different color temperatures to give you the light effect you want. So pay attention to that. Hope this review helped you out. REVIEWERS NOTE: IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2011. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE I INSTALLED THESE TWO CEILING FANS IN MY HOME AND THEY ARE WORKING JUST AS PERFECT AS THEY DID IN JANUARY 2010 - STILL QUIET AS CAN BE AND SMOOTH AS SILK. THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THAT THEY'RE ON IS THAT I FEEL THE AIR MOVEMENT AND LOOK TO SEE THEM MOVING. AS FAR AS DURABILITY GOES, I NEVER TURN MY FANS OFF - THEY RUN NON-STOP YEAR AROUND. I MIGHT ADD THAT MY ADVICE ON THE CFL LIGHT BULBS HAS PROVEN TRUE ALSO - THE ORIGINAL BULBS I INSTALLED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO HAVE YET TO BURN OUT. I STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CEILING FAN. IT IS DEFINITELY A PURCHASE I WOULD MAKE AGAIN. I'VE DEFINITELY GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy install and quiet!, July 5, 2006

This review is from: Westinghouse 7850900 Contempra Trio Three-Light 42-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Satin Brass with Frosted Glass Shades (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have installed several ceiling fans in the past, but the people at Westinghouse really made the install easy with their fan. Unlike most fans which require you to hold the fan motor up while wiring it in, Westinghouse put a separate plug on their motor. You wire up the plug to the home outlet, then lift the motor up. Could not be easier. It took 30 minutes total to install.

The fan is very quiet during operation. The fan output is also very impressive.

I am very happy with the fan and would highly recommend it.

This review is from: Westinghouse 7850900 Contempra Trio Three-Light 42-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Satin Brass with Frosted Glass Shades (Tools & Home Improvement)

1. This is a 3-speed-plus "off" fan with a reverse-direction switch and an attached light assembly. Both can be controlled by pull cords if desired.

2. The instructions are adequate, but assume knowledge of safe wiring and connection practices. This is not an absolute beginner's project, though if you have any successful experience in house wiring, you can probably do this.

3. For planning purposes, the complete job (removing old fixture and installing fan and light unit) took me a little over 2 1/2 hours. I am a careful and methodical amateur. You are working at the top of a ladder in awkward positions, so there is a high likelihood of dropping screws. If you are working over a deep pile carpet, put down a drop cloth or you will wish you had!

4. Westinghouse needs better quality control. There was a missing wire nut in the fan interface wiring which was instantly obvious, and there weren't anywhere near enough metal washers for the fan blade assembly. I suspect these problems were unique to this unit, but it would be well to examine each piece as you assemble it. I suppose this is the price you pay for an inexpensive unit.

5. If you have a low ceiling, you will probably feel more cooling breeze if you turn the fan-direction switch to the winter setting, as the summer setting makes the fan blow straight down.

If the quality control was better, I would rate this product a 5. It works well, is quiet except for a steady hum when running that might be noticeable in a quiet room when trying to sleep. But that gentle breeze is so nice on a warm night!
I may buy another for another room.
