Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 7814465 Turbo Swirl One-Light 30-Inch Six-Blade Ceiling Fan, Brushed Aluminum with Frosted Globe
Customer Review: Small and fairly quiet...
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a 1950's 3Brd 1 Bath house. We use the two smaller rooms as a nursery and a den/office. Both of the smaller rooms would look strange with a standard sized fan, so we decided to get the smallest fan out there. 30 inches seem to be the smallest available. There were 32 inch ones at home depot, but they didn't look as nice as these. So I bought two of the TURBO SWIRL. First, you need to read the directions on how to assemble. If you are too impatient, find another fan. Second, one of the fans seemed to wabble more and make more noise. I returned it and the new one seemed to be fine.
I've had the fans for over a year now and they have been good for us. It's helped alot with the summer heat wave from last year. Just a few days ago, one of the fans started acting up. It was slower than the other and the directional control seemed out of whack. I called westinghouse and they are sending me a replacement capacitor for free. 10-14 business days to arrive. Hopefully, that solves that problem.
Other than that, we've been happy with this compact and fairly quiet fan.
Customer Review: Solid, sturdy fan for the money, easy install!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this fan. We put it up in our 2 year old daughter's very small bedroom and it works great. My husband had it assembled and installed in about an hour. The blades go on after you get the housing up. There is one opening you use to install all the blades. After one is up, then you swing it around for the next one, etc.
There are reviews on this fan in another color that the man took apart the motor from the light fixture. Why, I don't know. If you follow the instructions, it is a very easy fan to install. It does make a little noise but my daughter loves the background hum to fall asleep. It does put out a lot of air for a small fan. Buy it! You won't be disappointed.

Thanks for asking how this product worked out for me. The fan is quiet and moves a lot of air in a small room. The delivery was quick - the hardest part was getting an electrician to install it!!Customer Review: Very Inefficient Fan
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought and installed one of these in my office. I was disappointed with the fan's performance, but I've made an easy modification that improved its performance.
First, it should be noted that with only an eight foot ceiling in here I chose to install it in the "hugger" configuration where it mounts directly to the ceiling. My experience may explain why some reviewers said that they got good airflow, while others said that it didn't do much of anything. With very limited spacing above the blades there isn't much room for them to pull from, and this thing just kind of stirs up the air in the room a bit. Standing directly below it while it is running at full blast you'll find very little air flow in either fan direction.
Using the included standoff would probably help, but I still have a relatively low ceiling in here, and don't want to risk injuring any tall friends.
So, I did some reading on ceiling fans, and a high number of blades also has a negative effect on a ceiling fan's capability. The blades interfere with eachother, so that they don't get as much "bite" on the air. Consider what would happen with 10 or 30 blades--the fan begins to resemble a solid disk that wouldn't move air at all. Because it's possible to keep the fan balanced while using only three blades, I decided to try this tonight, and was pleasantly surprised. With only three blades installed (removing every other blade), the fan now produces a nice, steady breeze. I think I'll keep it installed, now that it is working much better.
This makes it a pretty good fan for a low price. Enough whining about the little bulbs, as you can find them at your local hardware store.
