Ceiling Fans 78158 Turbo Swirl One 76 cm Six Indoor Ceiling Fan, Opal Frosted Glass, wood, Titanium Finish with Light Maple Blades

Purchased this fan after much searching and for its good reviews. Very good quality fan and quite heavy, bought for our pointed ceiling caravan. Had it professionally fitted by electrician. Opted for flush fit to ceiling as limited head room. Although fan looked fabulous, good light and perfectly fitted in with our decor, there was hardly no air flow and the fan was very noisy on the higher speeds. We were very disappointed thinking we had made a bad decision on purchase. However, we were wrong. The electrician suggested he fit the extension rod as perhaps there was not enough air flow above the fan to make it work. This he did, and wow what a difference. Even on speed 1 the air flow is good, but on speeds 2 & 3 the air flow is excellent. Also it has eradicated the noise. All in all, we are absolutely thrilled with the fan. My only advice is fit it with the extension rod. We were pleased we went for professional fitting as we are not so good at DIY. Also it does take 2 people to fit it (my husband helped the electrician). My only query now is that the fan wobbles when on high speeds. I have asked the Amazon community a question just to see if this is normal, although it would not put me off purchasing this fan.

Well made, fairly easy to assemble as long as you are ok on a step-ladder, it's not a light weight but manageable. Wiring is ok if you have enough mains cable to pull through once the ceiling rose is removed. If not you'll need to use a connector block to extend the cable to the fan and reconnect the on-going circuit and the wall switch. (This is all assuming you are replacing an existing pendant light). With the fan running it can be liable to wobble slightly if it's only held in place with the supplied bracket. It is still safe in that it's not going to fall on your head, however, I sorted this easily by adding a third small bracket on the outside of the fan casing and the ceiling 45 degrees around from the existing fixings. This stopped any wobble and made the whole thing quieter too. There are two pull cords, one for the light and the other for the fan and speed. A side switch controls fan direction. Could you sleep with the fan running? Well, I can, but then I can sleep through a disco giving it welly. All depends on how light a sleeper you are, obvious really. The fan is quiet, but not silent, it works very well and I love it. I hope my installation comments don't put you off, better to get a sparky to fit it if you are unsure, and have the use of this good value for money bit of kit. It's almost a breeze :)

After a couple of problems with ordering this the fan arrived this morning and is now in place and working. Unfortunately the Westinghouse RF Remote which I had ordered with the fan did not work so I am now waiting for a replacement remote. The fan itself is a very neat unit, well suited to the small double bedroom where it is installed. There is a bit of mains hum in evidence whilst the fan is on, this is independent of the fan speed setting and the installation instructions say this should disappear after a 24hr running in. There are no rattles or noises other than that. Installation was simple once a suitable joist had been located and wires from the previous ceiling rose were drawn through. The installation manual is multilingual so there is a lot of flicking backwards and forwards. It pays to read it through before you start though. I decided to fit the blade mounting brackets to the main assembly before attaching the unit to the ceiling as this seemed more sensible than working upside down at a later stage. I followed the example of a previous reviewer in adapting a 5w led candle to fit the small screw light fitting; this doesn't give enough illumination for a primary light source in the room but no doubt purchasers will make their own decisions on lighting options. In a bedroom where the light is not on for long periods a led bulb is only going to give a modest saving in monetary terms and, assuming that I get a working remote, which has a built in dimmer, I may well opt for a halogen bulb. Later- Amazon replace the faulty remote and this is now installed and working. As anticipated, the light dimmer control is not suited to led lamps. On the plus side, the fan control electronics seem to reduce the operating hum quite significantly. I also added some noise absorbing pads on top of the mounting plate and thick rubber washers under the mounting screws so the fan is now virtually silent apart from the actual airflow.Had this been achievable on the initial installation, I would have given 5 stars.
