2.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive for assembly, noise, June 29, 2007

I don't understand why this fan is more than $100 more than Westinghouse Winchester Four-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted White Alabaster Globes #72056. The Mimosa offers the typical hold your arms above your head for an hour and fool with wires, downrods, light fixtures, screws and fan blades. When I was done, I got a fan with a quiet but distinct electrical hum. The Winchester was at least three times as easy to install (less fooling with wires, no fooling with lighting and snapping instead of bolting the blades in) and does not have an electrical hum. The Mimosa is a pretty fan, but I have no idea why it is more expensive than the Winchester.

Amazon recently ran this fan at $99.99, with super saver shipping. This, to me, was a screaming deal, and I just had two of them professionally installed. My husband assembled the fan blades, took a look at the instructions, and mimicked Clint Eastwood (a man's got to know his limitations). Do yourself a favor, and have them put in by a handyman. Ours installs fans all the time, and it took him just under two hours to take down the two old ones and put up the new ones, including setting up the remotes. They are perfectly quiet and quite beautiful. If you can get them at the bargain price, you will not be disappointed. August 31, 2007 update: Amazon is again running this fan for $99.99, and my husband realized we should have bought the third fan we needed after all. Again, if you have these professionally installed, you are going to be pleased. Regarding the remote, I have found it to be very responsive.

November 25, 2007 update: I am astounded at the price drop to $64.80 for this item, especially since I purchased 3 of them at $99 each. You cannot believe how good a deal this is for this fan.

September 12, 2011 update: Just wanted to say that these fans are used continuously all summer here in California, and I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with any of them since they were purchased.

I purchased this fan to replace our old, gold one. I needed a slower speed so that my eyes would not dry out. This fan has three speed settings which are wonderful. It is less lighting than the old one but we also have a vaulted ceiling so it is higher than the average ceiling. It is beautiful and quiet. Overall a very attractive and functional unit. I'm very happy with the quality of the unit. Also, the paddles can be turned over for a lovely light side. That's the side we used as the side shown in the picture is too dark for our living room.
