This review is from: Craftmade WB242SC 42-Inch Warplane Sop with Camel Ceiling Fan with Blades and Integrated Light Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) This is an excellent product, it appears to be of very high quality, its motor runs smoothly and looks great in my hobby room. It is three speed and reversible using the supplied remote control - there is no pull chain despite what the description on the product page says - that would detract from its appearance. The remote control does not appear to be of the same high quality standard but is effective. Perhaps a little too powerful, as another fan in the house, made by a different manufacturer, also (sometimes) responds to its commands! A nice touch is the inclusion of a wall mounting kit for the remote control, so theoretically it should never be misplaced. The light is sufficient to provide background lighting but don't expect to be able to comfortably read by it, the halogen bulb is of the same intensity as an incandescent bulb with a 50 W rating. I would never have thought that a ceiling fan would be a conversation piece, but this one certainly is. Installation was a breeze, as...Read more By Weekend Woodbutcher (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Craftmade WB242SC 42-Inch Warplane Sop with Camel Ceiling Fan with Blades and Integrated Light Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) Bought this for my son's bedroom...thought something a little out of the ordinary would be nice. Fan seems of pretty decent quality, and it's REALLY hard to tell if the blades are real wood or plastic, and woodworking is one of my hobbies! Turns out they're plastic. Had the old fan removed and this one installed in about an hour. Very straightforward installation...mounting hardware is of good quality, and the bracket that mounts to the ceiling box has a hook on it so you can hang the motor on it while you do the wiring.
With only two blades, the fan doesn't move much air, so this fan is only good for a small room. Low speed is worthless for air movement...it's just for ambiance. :) Medium is fair, high is pretty good. You can hear relays clicking in the fan when changing fan speeds, but the fan is very quiet in operation. Included 50W halogen light is dimmable, but it doesn't put out much light at its brightest setting, so plan on having a few table lamps if you...Read more By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Craftmade WB242SC 42-Inch Warplane Sop with Camel Ceiling Fan with Blades and Integrated Light Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) This is such a cute fan - there really is a dearth of good ceiling fans for kids' rooms on the market. I wanted one with propellors like a plane - i'm not too stoked it's military hardware but the color scheme works for us. Our little boy is obsessed with it. Cons are the light, which is not very bright, and the price but I still think it's worth it. |
