Westinghouse Ceiling fan Comet 78182-132 cm, E14, 40 W, coated in Titanium with Blades Reversible Light Maple/White

I bought this after a bout of hot weather made for a few sleepless nights. I paired it with a Sonoff voice control unit for Alexa integration. One small modification is required to make this work, which is separating the live power feeds in the mounting bracket - as supplied, both fan and lights are connected together. Very straightforward to separate, join the feeds correctly, follow the rest of the instructions and you end up with a (rather large) ceiling fan. My issue was that one of the light fittings didnt work. Everything else was fine, just not one of the light fittings.Emailed the manufacturer, specifically asking whether separating the feeds could have caused a problem, and mention in passing that I separated the feeds for Alexa integration. All the response I got back was "we dont troubleshoot Alexa issues, maybe return the unit it might be faulty". No answer to my specific question, very slopey-shouldered "you've added something else, we're not interested in answering" attitude.Amazon provided a replacement for the light fitting (note, I didnt feel the need to question the voice control unit) and everything is now working.Minus one star for the customer support response!

Another lovely fan unit from Westinghouse, and I must say one of the better ones, too - I have five westinghouse fans in my home (in 4 types) .I wanted a larger unit for my dining room and this is just right, providing good movement even on the slowest setting. Works great in both directions, too. You will find it useful to have a spare pair of hands at certain points of the installation, whilst not crucial this will save time.Like all heavy units do not mount entirely to plasterboard, get anchor bolts or heavy duty fixings into a joist or board fitted between two joists. The holes should be predrilled with a suitable pilot drill.There are two mounting options.Flush: achieved by screwing top cover to motor housing (in instruction booklet)Extended: with included short ext rod. However, for this type of model I recommend the flush method. Especially if you convert to remote control as I did. You'll notice I used the low cost third party radio remote over the standard ir westinghouse remote that is less functional.It takes around 2 hrs to fit, on your own.I added two mini fluorescent lights which the frosted bowl cover had no problem hiding. However I have now swapped these for two 'warm' LED lamps from Tesco (equiv £1 each)Highly recommended and will no doubt get another.Edit: Did get another and swapped the big Brandon out of lounge to master bedroom. Again used same third party rf remote, and mounted flush.

a little tricky putting the blades on two handed task and then awkward hanging at high level. once installed very efficient

This replaces a smaller Westinghouse fan thats served us well for nearly 10 years. The motor burnt out and decided it was time to replace. Looked at the cheaper ones with remote controls, but as there are wired switches for the lights and fan decided against those for ease of operation.Went with this larger 52" Westinghouse fan. All installed easily enough and working. But very disappointed with the air flow. Its over our bed, and the previous fan generated a breeze, but even with this running full speed cant feel anything.Not faulty I dont think, and given the 2 hours of build and installation time, I dont have the will power to remove and send back, but I'll arrange to get a replacement in the next week or so, once an electrician can rewire the switches.

It works beautifully, without a lot of noise. The lights are a very useful addition.You can choose to install the blades as white or brown, which has the downside that you need to attach them to the brackets with three machine screws each. The brackets then need to be screwed to the motor assembly through a hole in the lower part of the unit, which is fiddly, but not too hard, especially if you have a magnetized screwdriver.The light unit attaches by a simple plug, and has room for two golf-ball bulbs. I used LED bulbs, which give a good light, well diffused by the dome supplied with the fan.My wife is American, and insisted on a 52" fan, as the smaller ones need to spin too fast to be of any use. This stirs up the air in our orangery even on its lowest setting, but does not subject people underneath to an uncomfortable blast.

Well is it big, blimey yes it is, I didn't realise, should of looked at dimensions. However due to its size I have found I only need it on number 1 to cool. Quiet!! A lot quieter than others I have had, it must be as it stayed on all night.I brought the remote with it but found trying to fit transmitter in rose part I could not fit it flush and had to use short extension rod, luck y it was short. Remote is perfect for this fan, it turns light on, off and fan speeds 0-3.Very well made and connections well thought out with push fit connections.A solid piece of kit and you get what you pay for so happy I picked this make.

I have just assembled and installed this fan today. It's fairly easy to assemble and seems to work quite well, with a strong down draught but will have to wait until Summer to see how effective it is. However, it is very noisy with noticable humming sound as soon as you turn fan on, even at lowest speed setting, although the operating manual does say that you need to run it in for 24 hours for it to settler down. I may have to revisit my judgement, but I can't see me using this while trying to sleep.

As fan lights go, this is a lovely and easy to put up and use - we had the remote connected up with it. Loses one star for being slightly on the noisy side, but that because I'm comparing it to our other fan which is a Hunter fan - but then to get that make you have to pay considerably more for it! It looks great and does the job.
