Casablanca Durant Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Light and Pull Chain Control

This is a good quality surface mount fan that still manages to move a decent volume of air. It's extremely quiet and I didn't need to balance a blade on the one I bought a couple of years ago or the most recent purchase.It's a clean, non descript design. It looks nice but doesn't scream for your attention in any way.It just moves air with minimal noise and no annoying hums, buzzes, shakes or rattles. Installation is typical. The components are good quality and the instructions are excellent.It's worth the higher price in my opinion.

I love this new fan. It's fast, noiseless but has that lovely woosh that I enjoy. It cools the room without a secondary source. It is fairly easy to install and someone can do it alone. Be sure the wires are tucked into the housing because when we first installed it, a wire was sticking out just a tad and the spinner caught it and it clicked as it ran. I see most 1 star is the clicking. It really is THAT EASY of an issue. We tucked all the wires in and now it's noiseless.

I wanted to put fans up in my great-room type living area, and I wanted them to be of the wall hugger design. I found NOTHING I liked in the two major home improvement chains, so I opened up my computer and shopped Amazon!Almost immediately I found what I was looking for!These are large fans, but they are in a large living area. Even at the slowest setting, they do a wonderous job of moving the air and providing a nice comfortable environment on even a warm day, so I'm thinking there will be less dependence on the a/c.The "tea-stain" globe diffuses the light nicely (please understand the fans emit plenty of light) just without glare. Also, these fans are very quiet, except that the blades are moving, you would not know they are even on. I opted for pull cords, everyone is the house is tall, so this is not an issue. In the downstairs "man-cave" we put in wall huggers that are remote control operated (also beautiful fans) that are remote control operated. Well, the remote was always missing, so eventually we mounted the holder to the wall above the on/off electrical switch, and all is well, as long as the remote is replaced in the mount!Finally the price....OMG what a buy! Looking at them, I'd have easily paid $300.00 each, but got them BOTH under that amount, and they were eligible for PRIME too.

There are many things I like about this fan. The first is that it arrived less than 48 hours after I placed the order. It was well packed so everything arrived undamaged as well.Installation was quite straightforward, although this is the 6th fan that we have installed and this one was replacing another fan.This unit is exactly as advertised, a ceiling hugger so it does not hang down too far. The fan moves an impressive amount of air, enough to handle our large family that lacks cross ventilation. The light fixture supplies enough light for most purposes without any of the annoying glare that the downward facing individual lights of our previous fixture did.As for the style, this is a simple classic design. The dark oiled bronze and dark fan blades do not compete with the other surfaces on our contemporary, light grey room. I would not hesitate to place this fan with almost any sort of decor.

I'm happy with the fan itself. It's whisper quiet and it looks nice while moving plenty of air. I've had cheaper fans that rattled slightly in the past, so a fan that moves air while being completely silent is a 5 star fan in itself.I question the design of the light kit on this fan, though. Why, why, WHY does Casablanca only put two light outlets in it? There's room for 4 light sprockets underneath the glass dome - why do they only provide two sprockets? Even three would be better. I specifically asked in the question section on here if this unit was bright enough because I feared it wouldn't be. Guess what? It isn't. My room isn't very large - I'm estimating 12x12, but there's basically a queen-sized bed in here with two dressers, and the room is pretty much full. This fan lights it up, but it's not bright and I find it to be a minor eye strain for me. You know when a light-bulb burns out in your light fixture, and the room goes from being bright to feeling like it's sundown? That's about the brightness of this kit. It desperately needs 1 more light sprocket in it, but it could fit two! I even replaced the two bulbs that came in the kit with brighter bulbs and it made a very marginal difference. Even just looking at my ceiling right now with the lights on, I can see the ceiling where the lights are positioned at is fully lit, but there are shadows in the two other corners of the ceiling where there are no bulbs. Why would you design a fan that unevenly lit a room? Dang you, Casablanca, for making a great fan that is marred by its sub-par lighting abilities.

Was easy to install, blades were perfectly balanced, quiet and powerful.
