Customer Reviews for Hampton Bay Windward 44 in. Indoor Blue Ceiling Fan with Light Kit

I really wanted this fan in black… but turns out I love it! It’s perfect for the space !!

I love it. Much prettier in person.

I bought this fan 4 years ago and it ran great until one day last week one of the blades came flying off. Fortunately, there was no one in the room at the time and I was glad that it did not hit my TV. But I don't understand how the fan ran so well for 4 years and has never appeared to be off balance and then all of a sudden a blade flies off.

Directions can be a bit confusing as they go back n forth from flush mount to standard ceiling mount. Once that's done its a nice little fan for a guest/peloton room.

After this fan was first installed a blade came of while it was running and made a dent in my panel wood walls. Imagine if a person has been there. I figured maybe it was not fully in when installed so I went ahead and snapped it back in tested it , it was fully in and secure. About a month later of use , blade flew off again while in use almost hitting a person. Customer service was not great to deal with so I don’t suggest giving this fan a try Bc if there is a problem with it , it will be a big hassle.

I figured maybe it was not fully in when installed so I went ahead and snapped it back in tested it , it was fully in and secure. About a month later of use , blade flew off again while in use almost hitting a person. Now I know it’s not the installation. I emailed and called Home Depot and after almost two hrs on the phone their solution is that I return the fan and they give me a discount for a new fan and 50 dollar gift certificate for my wall damage. I have to pay for the removal and installation of the new fan and on top of that I have to go spend more time going to Home Depot and return this broken fan Bc they said they would not give me a refund on a defective and dangerous fan unless I returned it to Home Depot. I have no box for it so I have to walk it into the store in wtv I can find. I can’t believe that Home Depo fought me for two hrs over a 100 dollar fan and that I now have to spend numerous hours dealing with this fan which is defective and dangerous. Truly do not buy this fan! And also be warned that Home Depot customer service is not great.

Have had two of these installed for a few months now, one is doing fine the other has released the blade while spinning twice… once damaging my wood panel wall, very dangerous , at first I thought maybe it was not installed right so I placed it back in and tested it various times to make sure it was in there fully and it was and felt solidly attached, a few weeks later a blade came lose again while spinning almost hitting a person, so unsafe and seriously disappointing. Now I have to spend days on the phone trying to get this fan replaced and uninstall this fan and then reinstall a new one, it is so much work and seriously seems like something that should absolutely not happen with a fan , such a liability, I would not buy this again.

The fan moved air well but the light was never very bright. I switched over to LED bulbs which use much less energy and eventually I heard a POP sound when turning the light on. Shortly after that it stopped working altogether. I took it down and took it apart and the wiring had shorted out and burnt a hole through the metal plate that separates the bulb sockets from the wiring. The plastic wiring nuts were melted and brown. I'm relieved I discovered this before it burned my house to the ground.

My kichen is 1950s and i love red. I have pops of red all over. My wall plates and tradh can and dish rack are all red. Just to name a few. The existing ceiling fan came with the house. Too big! Ick. So here is a red fan. Quiet, red and cute! I had it flush mounted. So happy! (And i never give full stars. Room for errors)

Do not buy a cheaper fan. This one is quiet, and it's pretty.

Brought two for my house very easy to install , nice color !! I like that blades snap in they should all be like that just wish light was a little brighter!!

Install complete in about an hour for this beginner. The instructions and Home Depot videos were helpful as long as you have experience working with installation guides (like IKEA, do you know what I mean?). I was disappointed in the color - it’s not a pure blue as in the photo but is greenish blue (maybe teal is a better descriptor). I cannot comment on longevity or the noise yet. Time will tell!

Instructions were easy to understand however actually putting it up was a whole other matter. It was complex and was damaged and had to return it so we decided to get the same fan but with the remote. Much better choice

Overall, love these fans (we have 4 and just purchased a 5th), however, the bulbs went out after 3 years on one of them. After researching, the bulbs are available and are inexpensive, but we shouldn’t have to be replacing so soon if they are guaranteed for 40 years! The light is ok, not very bright in general on any of our fans. The fan is great- keeps room cool and love the remote, No strings hanging down. Hopefully after changing the bulbs, we won’t Have to do this again for 40 years!

My hubby has installed two of these fans in our house. They went in our kids’ rooms, so I didn’t want a remote as I was afraid they would loose them. They are modern and sturdy. I am so happy with this purchase.

This fan works great, it was easy to install and looks great in our dining room. We have bought 3 of these fans for our house (this one and two for bedrooms) as well as two more of the slightly bigger model that comes with a remote (for living room and master bedroom). We love the way they look in our home. They look clean with the nickle finish and give a modern update to our house.

Bought and installed two of these for my office and master bedroom. The setup instruction video included on the product page made this installation for a first timer incredibly easy. The fan is silent and pushes a good amount of air for it's size. Look is sleep and modern. It connects perfectly with the Bond Home Bridge that connects the fan to Alexa or Google Assistant for home automation. I also love that it came with LED bulbs so I didn't have to change them out immediately. I've had both fans installed for about 2 months now and am already planning on getting another to install in my guest bedroom. Can't beat the price for such a good looking, easy to install fan!

Quite and very modern in appearance. Easy installation if you follow the step by step installation video.

Replaced our old fan with this model and we are so happy with the end result. It was our first time installing a ceiling fan so the instructional video was very helpful! Simple design looks beautiful and the remote works great.

Quiet ceiling fan. Love the remote that allows you to dim the light and work the fan.

Its noiseless Circulation air flow is very fast, which makes it perfect on hot summer days and keeps the room cool. The remote is a plus bonus in controlling different speeds. Its definitely worth getting this fan.

This is by far the best fan. It's super quiet mounts close to ceiling, just a great design. I installed four (4) of these in my home. Packaged excellent.

after installing two before this that were both defective we finally downgraded to this simple yet elegant ceiling fan

One of the blades just suddenly flew off from the fan. Fortunately, the flying blade flew over the cabinet before falling onto the ground so no one got hurt. Very dangerous.

Great product. I love it!!

Easy to install, so quiet, looks beautiful. Blends in to my deep blue ceiling.

Looks great in my son's bedroom! Can create a lot of breeze depending on the setting. I didn't install myself but there were no questions or complaints from the installer. He even said that he might pick one up for himself!

directions was next to nothing for the most part had to put together like doing a puzzle took about 4 hours to get it up after taking it down twice due to the horrible directions. the remote you have to hook up first its not part of the ceiling fan which i thought, it looks great and runs quite for the most part happy with it but would not buy another one like it.

Nice fan for the price. Not as bright as preferred but looks great.

Very easy to install. Good directions. Blades slide in easily. Quiet running, smooth.
