   If you’re getting a buzzing/vibrating sound emitting from the fan, chances are that it’s not a manufacturing defect. We installed these fans in 2 rooms and in 1 room, we had a terrible buzzing that sounded like the motor. Figured it was a dud so we bought another one and had the same issue. WTF?Suddenly realized that my light switch (installed eons ago) which looks like a normal switch is actually a DIMMER that is not compatible with this LED light/fan. Holy smokes. So swapped the switch and voila! No buzzing, no vibrations!Not sure if there’s any mention of switch compatibility in the instruction manual so figured I should write a review. If you’re getting a buzz, before you return the fan, bang your head on the wall and/or sit on hold with Westinghouse, make sure you check your light switch to make sure it’s either an LED compatible dimmer or a normal switch. Hopefully I’m saving someone from a painful and time-consuming lesson…

   This fan hit all the marks for what I wanted. First the stuff I do like – reversible blades (mine are solid white on one side that match the rest of the fan, driftwood/whitewashed wood on the other – I went with the wood), sturdy build, runs quiet, option to mount flush or on extension tube, option to wire to a switch or use pull chains, extra parts included (unfortunately not the ones you’ll likely need), runs pretty true (ie, doesn’t wobble or shake), clear instruction manual in multiple languages, etc.Unfortunately I didn’t realize that it would be so picky and labor-intensive to install. Installing the ceiling mount and the motor was fine – very typical for fans these days. But the blades are each two pieces, with 5 bolts each, and 2 of the bolts go in while the fan is hanging from the ceiling. So you have to hold a bolt on the tip of your screwdriver while you fish the blade into place and then try to fish the bolt through where the light attaches, through the hole in the blade and then into the motor. It’s really annoying – plan on dropping about half the bolts and plan on losing at least a couple of the lock washers (the ONLY thing they don’t give you extra of, of course). Also the blades have two pieces that must be bolt together. Wouldn’t be a huge issue except there are these fiber washers that go on and they are so tight, you have to screw them on. But of course – it’s a washer, made of fiber at that, so there’s no way to hold it except with your finger. But you have to get it threaded roughly halfway on before you can stick the other washer on and then thread the nut on. God forbid you get the bracket you’re trying to attach upside down and don’t realize it until the fiber washers are all on and then you have to unscrew them because they are still too tight to just pull off. ANNOYING. Nobody else attaches blades this way, I swear. Everyone else has grommets or snap in or snap on blades which cuts install time easily in half, and leaves one feeling much more satisfied when done.If they made that one improvement this fan would be hard to beat. As it is, I’d shop for a different fan. Ones can be found, especially named for that Long Island Bay (wink wink) famous for ritzy homes owned by famous people, that are identical in price, offer more features (remote, adjustable color warmth on the light, nicer looking) and are much easier to install.

   We like our other Westinghouse fans for our living rooms and decided to buy their products again for our bedrooms (we have 4 of these installed). Installation was easy, the air flow is great (we have no central AC and use a few window units in our old home)- but disappointingly they all wobble at the highest fan speed setting. The mounting to the ceiling is appropriate and secure, the fan is just not balanced well. They work for now and don’t wobble at medium and low speeds. But we’ll probably be replacing them in the future.

   Works really well. Love the quiet fan and bright light. A bit awkward for one person to install. Directions were more vague than they should be.

   This fan works pretty well, and while it doesn’t look as nice in person as it does on this site, it is functional and moves the air well.There are a couple of important things to know:-This fan doesn’t come with a remote control.-The LED version is insanely bright/harsh in the default setting, and I would only use it with a dimmer remote control.-This aftermarket remote control works perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N7XSVFY -It remembers the lighting dimness when I turn it off and on-This install was about an 60-90 minutes. If you are comfortable doing basic electrical and have a decent ladder, it isn’t very difficult to install with one person.

   After looking at a zillion fans at Heme Dough Pot, I went back to NYTWirecutter and happened on this beauty. Installed this with the help of my son, who is an electrical engineer. If you’re not real tech savvy and handy with tools, this will be a struggle. He hooked it up to a Lutron control and lutron bridge. Anyway, the price is right and the person who reviewed it TheWirecutter was right. It’s great, inexpensive, and quiet.

   The fan looks great and functioned great out of the box. But, now, a month or so after purchase, it has developed a faint, but steady, whine/hum. You can hear it at all three speeds—but when on high, the sound of moving air drowns it out.It’s installed in a medium-sized bedroom (by an electrician), with an 8-foot ceiling. I’m a musician and pretty sensitive to sound, so maybe others wouldn’t care. I would take it down and ship it back, but the box was thrown out long ago. Plus, I would have to pay for an electrician to install a new, replacement fan. Very disappointing because it was supposed to be quiet and quiet was one of my major concerns about a fan.

   Put this in a room to replace a fan that had one setting, high. Works great with very little noise. The remote makes it easy to change the setting when I am working. The light adjusting (dimming) depending on how long the light button is held is a very nice feature so I can adjust to what my current needs are.
