Yes, I mean Fans, I bought 6 of these fans from Amazon over a period of a month and very happy with all of them. We installed all the fans our selves, of course the first one took sometime, but the rest went pretty quick and the installation was not that bad.

Pros: Quiet fan, doesn't wobble, Classy looking esp the Brushed Nickel finish, Warm weather/cold weather settings

Few things that could be better: some of the things in the box could have been assembled and ready to use, the light side of the reversible blade is a bit too light, hard to match things with it, the dark side only comes in rosewood, few more darker color options will be nice to have

I would recommend this fan to anyone who is looking for a fan on low price end and quality stuff.

So far I have purchased and hung seven (7) of these fans, replacing every ceiling fan in the house. Not only are they stylish and virtually silent and perfectly balanced, customer service from Westinghouse was fantastic. With the fans being shipped from Westinghouse to Amazon then to UPS and to my house, only one globe came broken out of a total of 21 of them. I called Westinghouse directly and was treated very nicely. A replacement globe was sent out and arrived in less than a week. I have no complaints with this fan or Westinghouse.

If you're looking for a brushed nickel and rosewood fan, you'll be very happy with these fans. Their quick hang design had each one up in about 15-30 minutes including assembly time. You can't go wrong with these.

Fan and remote work great. The packaging isn't very good as far as the three light globes go. I had a broken globe in both Fans I ordered. Westinghouse needs to check into their packaging of their products.

After looking at Lowes, I was angry that I could only find candelabra lights on their ceiling fans. I figured I'd order one online, but eventually found out some MORON passed a law a few years back saying ceiling fans can ONLY have candelabra lights!!! WHY? THat is just stupid! So I ordered some candelabra conversion fixtures to aid me in my quest for better lighting, and ordered this fan, knowing I could fix the problem.

We got it installed last weekend, and it turned out MUCH better than I thought it would be. I'm flooded with light, and did not feel the need to replace the bulbs, or use the conversion fixtures. I still think it's criminal for some bureaucrat to tell me what I can and can not use for my own lights in my own home, but this is not automatically going to need more light. I'm using it in a bedroom, and it's plenty of light in there. Not sure it would do in a kitchen, but my husband liked it so much he made me go out and buy him a fan for his office, too.

You can gripe about the candelabra lights (and I agree), but since you can't get anything else in a ceiling fan anymore, you might as well accept it, and get the conversion sockets if you need more light. (Search "Candelabra to Medium Socket Enlarger" on Amazon. $2. each) I'd wait til it's installed, first, though, as it puts out quite a bit of light as is, and you may not need the converters.

As to the fan itself, I love it. Still too cool here in NH to use it yet, but it looks good, quietly moves the air in testing, and was easily enough installed. It does provide a hook to make holding it easier while you connect the wires, with the only hard part being getting it to connect on both sides to the screws, when you push it up to the ceiling. It's heavy, and unwieldy, and you can't see both sides at once, so it is helpful to have someone help with that last bit, but otherwise, easy peasy. : )

INSTALL NOTE: I strongly urge you to tape a cover over the top motor housing holes while installing it. My husband dropped the tiny screws several times while wrestling it into position, and we had to take it off to shake out the screws and washers every time, until he finally listened, and put a paper cover on the holes to stop the screw from falling in. You won't regret it, as the screws are VERY tiny, and easy to drop. Not so easy to shake out, though.

I got this fan only to find that a globe was broken since there was little protection around them in packing. (The rest of the fan is well-protected, but not the fragile globes.) I contacted Amazon for a replacement globe & instead got a new fan with two broken globes. I took the 3 good globes & packed up the other fan. I notified Amazon, only to see they were shipping me a third fan! I cancelled the third order & wrote them a note about what happened. You guessed it - a fourth fan was offered but someone finally read in the email NOT send another one. Aside from this drama, the fan was very easy to install, even with a universal remote, and is very quiet when running. The rosewood worked with me, but I would have liked an alternative flip side to the light wood. Even if I later change the globes, the basic fan is beautiful. This was a great deal but I can't imagine Amazon makes money when things like this happen. They should work with the manufacturer to come up with better packing for the globes or else stock them!

I haven't actually used the product yet, so I don't know, which is why i gave it three stars. It was advertised as using standard-based bulbs, but this is not the case. It uses candelabra based bulbs. However, Home Depot and perhaps other hardware stores sell candelabra to standard adapters. HD sells them for about $5 each, and you lose between half an inch to an inch on the length of the overall bulb.

This is a very nice fan. I bought it for a 12x14 ft bedroom in the rental side of my double house..it is very quiet and the shades are beautiful. I would like to get another one for my living ..the one I have isn't as big and doesn't cool it. Nice price too.

This fan runs very quiet and is a great size for a master bedroom. The quality is fine and the installation was no more work than installing any other ceiling fan, for which we have lots of experience with! I am very pleased with the the condition we received the package in.

I bought 3 of these fans and they are a great value for the money, especially being a 52" brushed nickel, with frosted globes as well, which are much more stylish than regular globes. I really like them! Also, FREE SUPERSAVER shipping, yea! The only thing you should know if you buy them is that they take the smaller base bulbs, not the regular medium base like most fans. It's not a big deal because you can get them about anywhere, but if you're looking to use some that you have on hand, you may not be able to, because of that. These are very nice looking fans.

I bought this fan over Christmas time for my husband. He complained so much about the other fan so I thought this would be a great gift! He loved it and put it up the kitchen with no problem. It looks great! The makers of the Westinghouse fan should better package the globes. We had 1 broken globe. We returned it and received the replacement within 3 days. I will soon be buying 2 more of these fans!
