I need to purchase 4 ceiling fans of various designs
and sizes.... which manufacturers would you recommend...

I'm next to a Home Depot which carries both Hunter
and Hamptom Bay... there has been some discussion
about the level of customer service at Hunter and I
suspect Hamptom Bay is a HD "house brand " ...
(my experience is that HD house brands are largely
garbage)...

Any good online sources ???

thanks for your advice and suggestions !!!

I just installed a Litex brand "Vortex Hugger" 36 inch model last week
in my bedroom. It's a cheapie....around $19.99 but I've been
pleasantly surprised. Relatively quiet operation, very little wobble,
cools a small room fine on low or medium. The light kit is
disappointing, though. Only rated for a single 60 watt bulb. I'm
running it without the globe, and with a 100 watt bulb.

When we needed to have a fan installed in our new kitchen recently our
electrician said to purchase anything BUT Hunter - they just aren't as
reliable as they once were and he didn't think they were worth the money.
We wanted a brushed chrome finish fan, under 45 inches, and as we were
already beyond budget, price was definitely a consideration. After shopping
at the big box stores and local electric stores we finally found exactly
what we wanted - at K-Mart for about $40! Of all five fans in our house,
this new one is our hands-on favorite...works great, quiet, and no shimmy.
Of course, YMMV!

I bought SEARS "cheapies" many years ago.

They run continuously... summer and winter.

Completely trouble-free.

Around year 10, I did oil the fan bearings...

The Hampton Bay brand is made by several manufacturers and some of them are
excellent and reasonably priced. MILO Hunter is garbage, however Casablanca
intellitouch fans are probably the best fan you can buy (also owned by
Hunter)
