Monte Carlo 5CY60RB Cyclone 60-Inch 5-Blade Outdoor Ceiling Fan, Roman Bronze Motor Finish and American Walnut ABS with Grain Blades

I bought this fan to put outside at our Boat slip at the marina. We had a Hampton Bay 48 inch outdoor fan from Home Depot up but wanted a wider radius. The 48 inch fan had great RPM's and a great wind/breeze maker but was just not wide enough to cover our deck at the lake. So we opted for this 60 inch outdoor fan. We went to install it, on a 4 foot down pole, like the Hampton Bay 48 inch and found, unlike all other standard fans, it takes a 1/2 inch rod instead of the industry standard 3/8's inch rod.

After 2 days of taking the other fan down and placing this 60' fan up there we really loved the look of it however when i turned the fan on I asked my husband to turn it on a higher level. He then told me that it was on the highest level. I am very dissapointed. I can feel the slightest breeze in the room. We also bought an extention for the fan so it is about at 10'.Our 52' 10 year old fan put out more of a breeze than this one. there is no way we will replace it due to the time it...Read more

I have the indoor model in my living room over one year now and it looks stellar! It is a huge fan but looks right in proportion if you mount it on 9 to 10 foot ceilings. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.
