Works wonderfully
My wonderful cousin installed it for me and the only problems we encountered where 1.) The light bulbs. I made the mistake of not reading the box and seeing that it needs the candelabra bulbs. and 2.) The wires were not easy to understand. Not sure if it was human error or what but we had to re-wire it about 5 times before it was correct. We thought it was correct when the motor ran, but then the light wouldn't turn on. Apparently, even though the motor was hooked up, it was hooked up wrong. Once we corrected that, it was smooth sailing.

I got one with a clicky motor
I bought this fan because I needed a flush-mount 52" white fan, nothing fancy. It was fine...but then I turned it on, and the motor was clicky. I was like, "noooooo!!!" because this would be the second time I had put up a fan only to have to take it back down and box it up. Thought that maybe part of the remote wire or similar was interfering with something, but after removing the mount cover and the blades I determined the motor was indeed messed up. The fan looked good (not too much of a gap at the top unlike the Hunter Oakhurst) and really helped in the room, so I suppose I would recommend it; I'm guessing it was just a bit of bad luck... hence the 3-star rating. (And unfortunately this trend continued. The Home Depot probably has me flagged in their computer system for being the crazy lady who buys fans and then returns them a week later!)

    Sleek and Stylish
    I bought 3 of these fans for my kids rooms back in January. Put them up about a month ago. They're easy to install and look pretty good. The first one I put up didn't sound right. It had a scraping sound when it spun. Less than a month it started tripping the breaker. When I took it down, there were char marks on the outside where it had arc'd. Called HD, spoke to a rep and even though it was past the limit to return it, because it was defective they were able to exchange it. I got the exact same one shipped to me the very next day. Make sure you spin it first before you install it. If it isn't quiet, you may have problems. The other two work perfectly. Thanks!

      The fan was easy to put up and it's just as beautiful as the photo. I'm not done future orders soon to come. So far we are very pleased with orders, customer service and items. Thanks Home Depot, your the best. Ordering Soon.

      As described easy one person installation. It looked better in person than in the picture. They did many special touches with padding that make it a quieter running fan. On high speed the motor is louder than my old one...... but I was ready for this from other people's description. It does not bother me but does bother my husband. Great for the price and look.

        The fan was easy to install and extremely low profile, most important with out 7.5' ceilings. It puts out plenty of light and moves the air nicely. Great item for the price and exactly what we were looking for.

        Not good quality
        Installed fan,took it down the next day. Returned it the third day. Moved very little air, and motor was loud. Not the normal quality for Home Depot.

          Not great
          Put fan up, took it down 2 days later. Very poor quality, not normal Home depot standards. Moved very little air, and was very loud. Disappointed

            The Ceiling Fan I always buy!
            This particular product has performed very well in a 52 unit housing authority. We find it looks quite nice, and withstands the rigors of public housing quite well. I'm very happy with this product and will continue to purchase it.

            Runs very quiet
            As was usually the case, the directions could have been clearer. Fortunately, living in Florida, I know how to install ceiling fans. The screw holes, particularly at the light kit, could have been placed in a more accessible location, and it is always hard to get the screws lined up at the ceiling for the cover. However, the way the motor is hung while wiring is great. There was no need for four hands, two to hold the motor and two to wire, because the motor hangs on the bracket. Clever.

            Great fan for price!
            Ordered 3 of these fans for my older house with 8' ceilings. They are low profile and look great. Easy to install. Excellent buy for the price. I had to ordered a fourth because the motor on one ran a little rough, but Home Depot is easy to return stuff to, and now the three installed fans are running great.

              Nice fan for the money
              The fan was easy to install and seems to be of good quality. I do hear a slight humming sound coming from the motor when I turn it on but it isn't horrible. We haven't used it that much so far since it is winter but are hoping to get much more use out of it come summer time.

              Good Budget Fans
              I ordered 3 fans for my outdoor covered patio. They arrived promptly, but two of the tulip globes were broken. Installation was not difficult, although two wires kept pulling apart on one unit during hanging, and the unit had to be completely disassembled before it could be removed and the wires re-connected. At the end of the job, they look great, and operate well, at an excellent price.

              Great purchase, tedious installation
              Although the installation was tedious as our wires inside the ceiling were not color coded. The finished look was beautiful.

              Price is Good; Fan is not
              Bought this fan in January and it stopped working in August! While the look is nice and it's not noisy, I need a longer lasting product. The candelabra lights on this fan give off a lot of heat, I would have preferred incandescent bulbs, but it seems all the new fans are coming out with the new bulbs which I hate! it gives your home a "cafeteria" look. I do like the style, look and that it has the 3 speeds. Too bad it doesn't last. My previous one was a Hampton Bay (2 of which I still have in other rooms) and I have had them for over 7 years sometimes on for days at a time and they are still going strong. I'd recommend that brand instead.

              Looks good but disappointing performance
              First fan (special order) arrived damaged in box. Second fan (another special order) is not as quiet as other ceiling fans in my house. Too much motor noise, even when the fan is on its lowest setting. I returned the first fan for a refund, and with the Westinghouse Service representative's help, I also returned the second fan for a refund.

                good value
                the ceiling fan was very easy to install taking less than a half hour. Fan is very quiet when running, on low you do not hear it at all

                Nice fan for the money.
                I really did not know what to expect out of this fan for the low price! But, I would by more of them if I needed them. The only down fall I found from the whole fan combo, is it uses the the miniature lamp bulbs. But, is is nicer and quieter than the Hunter we replaced after 10 years.
