Lighting 7861400 Industrial 56-Inch Indoor 3 Blade Ceiling Fan in Brushed Nickel, Steel Blades

After a month of 24/7 use, I now have some experience. By far the best ceiling fan at any price. At $55, it moves more air and looks more contemporary & sleeker than any $500 designer fan. Same fan as the brushed nickel model so read those reviews as well. Set to the lowest speed, it moves as much air as some residential fans move at their highest speed. I have it mounted above my bed. On the highest speed, it moves so much air it blows the Sunday paper apart & off the bed. Standard installation will lower the fan blades almost 2 ft so if you have 8ft ceilings, it's too dangerous for residential installation. The blades are metal, move at an incredible speed & could probably slice a tomato. You do not want them clipping your hand. BUT ... the down rod can easily be cut in half (with only modification being to drill a new cross mounting hole in the rod, keeping the blades safely above 7ft. Have never had to sleep with the fan set to "high" but the dogs love sleeping under it on hot days and I find that it takes minutes to cool down the room before bed if I turn on the A/C + the fan on high for a few minutes, then back to second lowest speed when I crawl into bed. Saves running the A/C in there all day. To address, other writers' criticisms: - the motor itself is whisper quiet. Quieter than many other brands. But it is impossible to move that much air without hearing the sound of rushing air. Set on "high" there almost a slight "helicopter chop" sound but that's not the motor, that's the metal blades slicing thru the air. But remember, for me, the blades are only 4 feet above the bed. Mounted from a 14 ft ceiling, you might not hear it at all. To me it's "white noise" that drowns out other sounds (but not the TV) but again, I have never had to set it higher than "medium" to stay cool at night. Your choice: strong quiet motor that blows a lot of air that creates some wind noise set on the highest when you really need it, or suffer thru a hot night when you are dying for a breeze. - Lot of criticism of the old fashion looking surface mount box switch. So much so that I ordered a slide dimmer at the same time. But at time of installation, I read NOT to use an electronic dimmer (why, I don't know). And know from other installations, some dimmers can cause the motor to hum. If you have a row of switches, the standard surface box switch could present an installation challenge. In my case, the fan switch is by itself. So rather than risk a potential humming noise, I used the provided switch. After 2 days, I got use to it. It looks like a regular thermostat. Bid deal. Plus I like that the switch "clicks" from one speed to the next, as opposed to sliding. So each position is always the same speed, which matters because since this fan is powerful, it can take a minute or more for the motor to get the blades spinning at the speed you set. There's no second guessing if you set it to the correct speed like there would be with a sliding dimmer switch. - And there is no "reverse switch". Again, big deal. Google the web and you'll find some expert opinions that the "winter" & "summer" settings for ceiling fans is a marketing myth. It doesn't matter if the fan pulls the cold air up or pushes the hot air down, once you've got the air circulating, there are no longer any different temperature zones in the room. The pros just say to use low or medium speeds in winter to avoid a "wind chill" effect. Lastly, easiest fan I've EVER installed. All others have required a second pair of hands to hold it while I connect the wires. Suggestion: - mount the blades PRIOR to lifting the motor onto the socket. When it's fully assembled all you have to do is lift the motor with blades and place the ball into the socket holder. That's it. No more holding a heavy motor. Then do the wire connections. There are only 3 blades, easy to work around them connecting the wires and beats trying to climb even higher later to mount the blades from the top. - Use rubber, even plain old weather stripping between all screw connections, between the holding bracket & the junction box, even between the ball & the socket to dampen any vibration noise. During the first week, I would occasionally hear a rhythmic "clicking noise" if the fan was set too long at the same speed. It had no relation to the speed of the fan (so I knew it wasn't the fan blades hitting anything) and it disappeared if I slightly rocked the based of the fan (carefully) while it was spinning. After trial and error, I discovered it was the electrical wire nut covers tapping against each other inside the junction box. Wrapping them with insulating foam and electrical tape solved the problem.

I'm not sure why people are bashing the remote. It doesn't say residential or modern or custom fan. It says it is an industrial 56 inch fan. So yes, it does look like a wall mounted brick or bus or however you want to describe it. However, you shouldn't remove any stars from your rating because you can't read the product description. Great fan. Easy install. This fan replaced an existing ceiling fan with a wall mounted round switch fan control. I installed it with a Harbor Breeze universal remote #40837 I purchased from Lowe's . You'll need to use the ball bracket that came with the fan. It will be a tight fit but it will fit. Slide it in the space above the ball socket. You'll need to keep the wires short enough so it doesn't take up too much room. Make sure you tape up your wire connectors so it doesn't come loose. I replaced the wall switch with a regular switch to keep things more modern. On high, the fan noise the fan makes is very pronounced. However I can't see you using this on the highest setting unless you are having sexy times, it's hot in your room and you're doing all the "work". This is when this fan will shine. My bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and is not a huge room but larger than average. On high, the air will circulate very fast, cooling the room down in a few minutes. This is great when your wander up to your room upstairs, you're ready for bed and its stuffy and hot. The sound the fan makes is from the blades moving the air and not so much from the motor. The sound is less pronounced when on the low setting on my remote. But all fans make some sort of noise. The background noise the fan makes while on the low setting is quite soothing and It feels like a gentle breeze. I would have loved to see a 60" version of this fan. This is a great product. It is priced right (better than all of similar fans). I would buy this again and I just might do that.

I bought two .November 2022 put up in my shop only run them when I have the air on when I am in the shop . Maybe three hours a week never in the winter . Tonight one of them stopped and just shakes . The other one works fine . I like the air from them and the look and the speed control. But the one played down and it is 14 feet up . Checked power to fan and it is all working good . So now I wish I had gotten protection plan . Hope they would do something about it .

Works great, good quality. When it comes to fans, style is everything. This style was exactly what we were looking for, very happy with the outcome.

Installed two in my garage, plugged them into the garage door opener plugs and run both off of one remote. No major wiring needed. Just mount the remote on the wall and presto. Four speed settings lets you move a lot of air and no fan hum, just the sound of moving air when at full speed. Awesome units.

Installed it in my garage. Looks great and operates quietly. Love the fact that a slider switch is INCLUDED to control ON/OFF and 4 speeds. Very happy with this purchase.
