Have been using for a few weeks now with no issues. For the price this is a great deal. No quality issues yet.

I have not noticed any funny sounds or wobbles. I installed it with the remote kit and that works fine.

On the highest speed it moves a ton of air.

Would buy again.

Great product.

I previously had installed a Harbor Breeze fan purchased from a national home improvement store chain. The old fan was difficult to install, never seemed properly balanced, and the remote control stopped working in under three months.

After a great deal of research, I settled on this fan as a replacement to the now non-functional Harbor Breeze on my ceiling for a number of reasons. It looked nice while being a good combination of modern styling with classic functionality.

When I received the fan I began the takedown of the old fan. Once I had the old one down I installed the new mount. The first thing I noticed was a substantive increase in the quality feel of the new mount. It seemed to be of reasonable quality. Then I began constructing the new fan based on the instructions. This is very simple to accomplish and can be made even easier with a basic power screwdriver. Now here is the first simple, yet incredibly useful, additional feature. There is a little hook on the mounting bracket that you hang the fan from while wiring it up. When you are standing on a ladder, have a fiance who is six months pregnant and can’t really assist, and have a bunch of wires that need to be attached properly, this hook is worth its weight in gold. Once wired and mounted, you need to assemble and attach the fan blades. Assembly is simple and straightforward. Here is the second great feature to help you with installation. There is a little cutout in the top of the light fixture mount, just under the fan blade mounting holes, that allows you to get a screwdriver directly under the mounting positions to easily attach the blades. This may seem trivial but try screwing in the blades without going through that hole and you’ll be confounded as to why there isn’t an easier or more direct method to get a screwdriver to those screws. And yes, that’s what I did before noticing the hole designed to make my life just a little easier. Once the blades are on, continue following the instructions to install the rest of the light fixture and other miscellaneous accessories.

This may seem like a lot of steps or time consuming but the installation of the fan probably took less time than it took me to write this review. I’m completely satisfied with this purchase and after a few weeks of use I am confident that the fan will continue function and exceeding my expectations.

It is so quiet, works well, and looks great! It took quite a while to assemble and install, but not too bad. This is a great value for the price. I’m very happy with this purchase and plan on buying more of these for our other rooms to replace some of the more traditional looking fans.

So far this a great fan. We replaced an old (1990’s era) Hampton Bay 4 blade fan of the same size (52″) with this one. This fan is superior in every way a fan can be superior. It moves what feels like 2x as much air (mounted on a 6″ or 7″ downtube), it is at least 10x quieter than the old one, especially on low speed. High speed is pretty quiet as well. The old fan had one incandescent light bulb, however we had replaced it with a 20w cfl bulb which we left bare in order to maximize the light output. The Westinghouse Comet uses two smaller bulbs (they call them candelabra bulbs, 40w each) which, when turned on to high, are at a minimum just as bright as the single bare cfl bulb. It feels brighter to me though, and the Comet definitely has better light spill to the sides, meaning it gets light to a larger area than the old cfl bulb did. The only thing that would make me remove stars is if the fan dies soon. So far, its only been a couple of days, but its working great.

Installation was easy enough, if you have put up a ceiling fan before, this will be just as easy. Only change I made was I added my own lock washers to the mounting hardware for the blade to blade bracket connections. There are 5 blades, and 3 bolts per blade, fwiw, make sure you have a way to secure the hardware. The way they ship the fan, the directions say you should check the hardware 2x per year. Cheesy way to leave out 15 small lock washers, but its an easy fix. Id assume blue lock tight would also work well. I am so impressed by the operation of the fan I’m going to leave all 5 stars on my rating, despite the hardware issue.

Finally, I also installed a wall switch for the fan that controls light output and fan speed as well. So YMMV as to the speed and brightness of the fan and its light. (note: the dimmer wont do anything to make the light brighter, or the fan faster, this was just a disclaimer)

Judging from the product reviews some of these units arrived DOA but my unit worked fine from the beginning. Everything was well packaged and I felt like the instructions were clear although it was a bit frustrating to put together. I would rate the fan a 5 out of 10 on the “swearing and yelling” scale.

It looks very attractive and like it cost quite a bit more than it actually did. I was able to hardwire it to the light switch but it should be noted that there is no remote control that comes with it and so you will have to use the included pull chains to change the fan speed and setting

Speaking of the fan, I’m a bit disappointed in the amount of air that it moves. Even on the highest setting the air movement is a bit tepid. This might have something to do with the fact that the fan sits in a recessed ceiling and perhaps I should’ve use the downrod it was included with. I will update this review when I do so. I would recommend that anyone mounting this fan on any ceiling higher than 8 feet should use the included downrod.
