Fanimation FP7500RS Windpointe 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, Rust Finish

I would take off half of a star if I could, because the finish on the fan blades is VERY shiny. It is not at all the same as what's shown in the pictures in the listing. It's not the end of the world, but I would prefer the matte finish that's shown. Maybe it will tone-down over time.Regarding the fan itself, there's a lot to like. It's one of the quietest fans I've ever owned, and I've spent upwards of $1,000 on other fans. It's whisper quiet at all speeds. I was also pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to balance the fan. Considering the way the blades are assembled, I thought for sure it would be wobbly, but it doesn't wobble at all, at any speed. Just about every other fan I've ever purchased needed to be balanced. In terms of air movement, I think it's fine. At low speed, you can't feel much, which I would sort of expect, but as you go to medium or high, I can feel plenty of air. I've got it installed on a 9 ft ceiling, and the blades are 7.5 ft off the ground, using the down rod that came with it (6", I think) It might not be the best in terms of air movement if you have REALLY high ceilings, but it works well on a 9ft ceiling. Overall, I'm very happy with the fan, except the shiny finish on the blades.

We needed to replace two existing ceiling fans and install a third in a new location. We installed three Fanimation Windpointe ceiling fans. All came out of the box without difficulty and unblemished. There were no difficulties installing the two replacement units and mounting the third in a new location went off without a hitch. The units look nice and are well finished. They are pleasantly quiet in operation (no hums or rattles). All in all a very satisfactory purchase and would purchase again in future.

I thought carefully before spending the extra money on this Fanimation fan, rod and light kit. Being a senior and a widow, I hired an electrician to hang the fan and add the rod and light kit. When it was all done it looked great, the light worked but the fan was faulty...we could hear the motor making a slight sound but no movement of the blades, and the electricians checked it all and decided it was faulty. Now I had to spend time on Amazon support (twice as they ordered the incorrect item) and in the end I have to pay the electricians to come back and take down the faulty fan and hang the replacement and then ship back the first fan...let's hope the new one works.....I'm not a happy camper...when you spend this much on a fan you expect it to work and not to have to pay the electricians TWICE!!!!! The 2 stars were for the look of the fan which is lovely but what good is it if it doesn't work....

Easy installation, beautiful design and very quiet. We have five ceiling fans in our home and this is by far the nicest and circulates the air better than any of the others. I will buy a Fanimation ceiling fan again.

Nice whoosh sound like wind through trees when on high speed otherwise quiet.
