Customer Review: Very Inefficient Fan
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought and installed one of these in my office. I was disappointed with the fan's performance, but I've made an easy modification that improved its performance.
First, it should be noted that with only an eight foot ceiling in here I chose to install it in the "hugger" configuration where it mounts directly to the ceiling. My experience may explain why some reviewers said that they got good airflow, while others said that it didn't do much of anything. With very limited spacing above the blades there isn't much room for them to pull from, and this thing just kind of stirs up the air in the room a bit. Standing directly below it while it is running at full blast you'll find very little air flow in either fan direction.
Using the included standoff would probably help, but I still have a relatively low ceiling in here, and don't want to risk injuring any tall friends.
So, I did some reading on ceiling fans, and a high number of blades also has a negative effect on a ceiling fan's capability. The blades interfere with eachother, so that they don't get as much "bite" on the air. Consider what would happen with 10 or 30 blades--the fan begins to resemble a solid disk that wouldn't move air at all. Because it's possible to keep the fan balanced while using only three blades, I decided to try this tonight, and was pleasantly surprised. With only three blades installed (removing every other blade), the fan now produces a nice, steady breeze. I think I'll keep it installed, now that it is working much better.
This makes it a pretty good fan for a low price. Enough whining about the little bulbs, as you can find them at your local hardware store.
