Customer Review: Why pay more?
Summary: 5 Stars
This fan is the whole enchilada. Very easy to install and very quiet also. A faint hum as with any fan but no rattles or clicking noises. For small to medium size rooms, you won't find a better fan. Candleabra bulbs are not an issue nor is the airflow. Why on earth you would pay more for a fan is beyond me, as this one totally fits the bill. Seriously.
Update... Here it is a year+ later and we are getting two more of these fans. Very happy with the one we have and expect the same performance from the new ones. If there are problems with noise, it was installed wrong, and if the globes rattle, well, duh!! Fix it with shims or tighten the screws all the way. As for the candleabra bulbs, I don't see the problem, but that's just me. Still a five star purchase.
Customer Review: Beware! Incorrect Description
Summary: 1 Stars
Does NOT use standard base bulbs! I was disappointed because I have looked all over for a lighted ceiling fan that takes standard base bulbs so I can use the energy savers that provide much brighter light at lower wattage. This one uses candelabra base bulbs which are expensive to replace so I returned it. Wish I had read the existing "Reviews" because I could have saved myself the trouble. Amazon must not use the information they gather on the "Reason for Return" portion of their return form because the description has remained incorrect since July of 2007 based on the date of Brian Seilski's review. The "Technical Details" have still not been corrected 3 years later!Customer Review: Waste of time
Summary: 1 Stars
The fan definitely looks great at a decent price. After spending over 4 hours to fix it and get it to run, I found out that it makes noise while running.
The manual says - leave it on for 24 hours for the bearings to settle and the noise to go away. So, We left the fan on for more than 24 hrs, but the noise didnot go away. The light fixture was defective as well. One of the 3 glass holders wouldnt fit in!!!
I finally gave up and spent another 1 hour to take it out. Replaced it with another one I bought at lowes for the same price. After spending another 4 hours, we fixed the new one and it works like a charm.
Such a waste of my time!!!
Customer Review: Great product for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased three of these fans for my kid's rooms in our new home. I replaced the standard nickel finish lights that came with the house. These fans look great. They provide more than enough air for all of the rooms (and one is rather large). As far as the bulbs are concerned, the small bulbs work fine. I use 40 watt not 60. Three 40 watt bulbs provides 120 watts of light which is more than enough. My only complaint is that the white side of the blades look funky so I used the wood side in all the rooms. These fans may not be the best but to get three for under $140...you just can't beat that!Customer Review: Whats not to like?

I had to remove a 52 inch fan to install this one. This fan fits the room better(10 X 10). It looks very classy for the price. I have no unwanted noise. But personally I like a little white noise. My alarm clock has about 6 different background noises. The fan is so quiet I may still have to use the sound machine. As for the lights they have the small sockets. They are kind of like Christmas light size. With a max of 60 watt. Since I installed the light in the bedroom I don't need max brightness. And if I am right I could get some cool colors, you know to spice up my........
