Fanaway 21093301 Evo2 Retractable 4 Lighting with Remote Ceiling Fan, 48 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze with Dark Koa Blades

We replaced an existing fan with this unit because the light is much better. The old fan was very decorative but the light was so poor that it was useless. Also, it had standard blades that when not in use filled up a lot of the ceiling area and collected a lot of dust.This fan has a very bright light that is highly functional and the blades hide away when not in use. No hanging out there collecting dust. No need to clean them monthly. And it is really fun to watch the blades "mgically' deploy themselves. Fan works very well and is very quiet.Another advantage is many 54 inch standard fans end up out of balance and jitter even on lower speeds making an irritating sound. This fan is fully balanced, fully assembled from the factory and is perfect at all speeds.

Love it! Purchased in February and installed yesterday. Exceeded expectations!! We live in Lake Tahoe, which has recently had hot summers. Never needed a fan before, but now we sometimes do. Purchased this for over the bed in a small bedroom with an 8' ceiling height. Absolutely did not want a 42" fan over the bed all year and this one is wonderfully discreet. In fact, when it opens its blades, it NEVER looks like the pictures with the blades out that are in the sales images. Yay! When they are in motion, all you see is motion. And there is NO SOUND, so ideal for over the bed. The only bummer is that there's no reverse, but honestly all we seek is moving air in the bedroom because bear activity doesn't allow us to sleep with the bedroom slider fully open. My guy did a more complex install, putting the light on our existing overhead light dimmer switch that has a dimmer and on/off remote that we keep attached to the headboard. The dimmer works BETTER than on our previous ceiling fixture! You'll note that the other retractable fan lights that we looked at didn't work with a "real" dimmer switch; instead, they had three separate light settings and always started out at the brightest. We didn't want that and are quite pleased. The remote control that came with the light will be used only for the fan and thus kept in a nightstand drawer for most of the year. We are estatic! Thank you!

It was a great fan for nearly 4 years then one of the fan blades broke off and was thrown 12ft across my kitchen. The break occurred near the pivot point.

We installed this fan without any problems. It works smoots, very silent. The retractable 4 blades are funny. The light is dimmable, but only very little (should be more, really it is a minus). The other thing that I don't like is that the installation screws on the mounting bracket close to the ceiling are not covered (like they are in my cheaper fun), but otherwise is nice fun.

Overall, a good fan that is very quiet and bigger than I expected it would be. You may want to triple check the size. The other issue is the shroud that covers the hole in the ceiling is way smaller than the old one it replaced and I can see part of the hole. Another problem to deal with.I had an electrician install this since the cost of the fan was pretty high. He checked the line and noted that the power was good. I say this because my fan seems to shut itself off after about 6 or 7 hours. I don't know what the problem is. Some people say this could happen if the power line is not clean. Some will say it could be another fan remove nearby. I don't think either of these are the case since the electrician checked the line and I don't live in an apartment building. Maybe it overheats. I don't know.I am not happy about that, but I am not going to replace this. I spent a lot of money for the fan and to have it installed and I am not paying more to get it down and sent back and then another one put back. I really don't use the fan a lot anyway since I prefer to keep the AC at a comfortable level. It just irks me because this is not a cheapo fan at well over $450 dollars plus and I have no clue why it shuts off. I have seen some reports online that it happens with other people too.

This fan is awesome it provides a lot of air flow. I replaced the light blubs with LED's and it provides lots of great light. I love showing it off to visitors they are amazed as it deploys it's blades from the light base. I am considering buying another one soon.

For those who do not want the look of a permanent ceiling fan, this is a great option. Works well, and quiet. Can't speak to the ease of installation, as I had an electrician install it. Will buy from this brand again.
