We live in the desert, so ceiling fans are an absolute necessity. We have a small rental property that needed a fan, so we ordered the 52 fan, and we were very pleasantly surprised. First, the fan has a wonderfly retro design, reminiscent of propeller blades, that has a conteporary feel. Second, the construction and quality of materials is excellent for the price (the fan blades are solid wood). Third, it puts out an amazing quantity of air. At first, I was worried that because it only has three blades, it might not generate as much wind, but the really pushes air at an impressive velocity, and the shape of the blades really maximizes its coverage. Fourth, it is whisper quiet, which is a result of how well balanced it is. Fifth, the remote is easy to program and very functional (there are 6 speed and reverse). Sixth, the built in light is LED, so no added heat from bulbs, and no need to change bulbs (note that there are three different color temperatures that you can change by turing the light on and off--the coolest color temprature is horrid, but the warmer settings are fine). Since there was no electricity in the ceiling where we mounted it, we needed a contractor to come in and run a junction box to the middle of the ceiling, and he also installed the fan, so I cant speak to the ease of installation, but it took our contractor about an hour to install once the electricity was run. Overall, Im extremley pleased with this fan, and I wouldnt hesitate to purchase another one.
