Casablanca Panama Indoor Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, Snow White finish

I call this our $3000 fan (more on that in a moment). It's installed in our living room which is pretty much a 17' cube (17' wide, 17' long with a 17' ceiling). It's mounted on a 6' (72 inch) Casablanca down tube which puts it at about 11' off the floor. We've had it now for just about six months, it's been used in conjunction with our air conditioning system during an above average temperature summer and it is wonderful. Generally we use speed settings 2, 3 and 4; I've had it up to 5 on a really hot day once or twice. The fan moves a lot of air fairly evenly and on those settings, is almost inaudible, there's slight air noise on setting 4. I was concerned about mounting it to the long down tube, worried that wobble would be a problem. The first time it was powered up, it had a very slight wobble which we were able to correct with the balance kit in less than 15 minutes. It now has zero wobble on all six speed settings. Oh yeah, about that $3000 number. While climbing around in the attic to install the fan, I discovered several areas of termite activity. So the cost of the fan, down tube, installation materials and having the house tented for termites was just under $3000, but we got a great fan and hopefully prevented further damage from termites.

I have had many ceiling fans over the years and my biggest complaint has always been motor and bearing noise, especially when it comes to my bedroom.This fan runs cool and quiet at any speed. All you will hear is the fan blades pushing air. With so little heat being generated by the fan our bed room seems to always be cooler than the box store fan it replaced. love the 6 speed settings and the white finish looks great. The only thing I would change is the size of the motor cover, seems a bit large for a 52in fan. fan was properly packaged with no blemishes and installation was a breeze!bottom line______It is worth the price in the comfort it gives me!

I bought this fan after a lengthy search and a couple of frustrating false starts, and am extremely happy with it. Construction, fit, and finish are excellent; installation difficulty is the same as most other ceiling fans, and the instructions are clear and first rate. It moves a lot of air, and the motor and mechanism are absolutely quiet. The remote control is full-function, including forward-reverse. The control does have one quirk: if you start the fan after it is turned off (or a power interruption), you have to start it on high, let it come up to speed, then reduce the speed to the setting you want. From then on you can change speed at will. But if you try to start (or reverse direction) on a low speed, the fan speed will "hunt" by speeding up and slowing down but will not settle on a steady speed. I know that speed control of a DC motor is more complicated than for an AC motor, but that seems like a marginal engineering design... Since we run the fan at a steady speed for long periods of time, this quirk isn't much of a bother to us and everything else about the product merits five stars.One additional note: The extra-short downrod needed for low-clearance mounting is included with the fan. The Casablanca product sheet says one is "available", and I spent quite a bit of time trying (unsuccessfully) to find it; was very happy to see it in the box!UPDATE: The motor bearings got noisy and began to fail after 8 years of continuous running on low speed. A little disappointing given Casablanca's "lifetime" claims, but the warranty service was outstanding. I called the Casablanca customer service number and, after a 2 minute conversation, the agent submitted paperwork for a replacement fan. It shipped the same day after I sent them the invoice for the original fan, and I received it two days later along with a prepaid shipping label to return the defective unit. Back in business after only four days. I decreased the fan's rating from 5 to 4 stars, but want to give Casablanca a shout-out for great customer service.

The best ceiling fan we have ever owned, bar none! We let the electricians assemble it and hang it, so I can't speak to that (although they were done in about 10 minutes, start to finish). It is quiet. So quiet I don't even know it's on. We have it on a 24 inch downrod because it's located in a tray ceiling, and even on the highest setting, it doesn't move. Not one wobble. The finish is beautiful. We chose the hammered wood side of the paddles, but the reverse is just as nice, if a little lighter. The only issue I have is that the remote is a bit outdated looking and could probably use a major update...it's plastic and an ugly off-white and while it works well, it's a bit incongruous when you look at the beauty of the fan. I know this is nitpicking, but I feel like the Casablanca remotes have not been updated since the '90's.Great fan, we love it and I would highly recommend. Seller was quick, box was sealed and product was brand new.
