Westinghouse Lighting 7214100 Harmony Two-Light 48-Inch Two-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Opal Frosted Glass



Looks great, but has flaws
First the positives:
I was really pleased with the finished look after installation of this light. Very attractive and stylish and just the finishing touch I was looking for in our new master bath. We have a 13' ceiling and just as the other reviewers stated, I was impressed with the amount of air that just the two blades moved.

Now for the not so great stuff:
I found the light to be very dim and ineffective. It is so dim, in fact, that I sometimes leave it on as a nightlight when we have guests. Fortunately, we wanted this fixture for the fan more than the light so that was not so much an issue, but others may feel differently. The real disappointment came when after only an hours run time, the fan developed a loud and obnoxious clicking noise that it makes with every revolution. We had our contractor back out to check it and he confirmed that the problem lies within the fan itself and is not an installer error. Now we have to figure out how to either...

Great fan with great modern look and easy install!
This was my first ceiling fan purchase and install. I knew I had wanted this fan for my house for the last year or more. I have been comparing this one (which is the Home Depot version) to the Allen Roth Santa Ana (the Lowes version). Both look almost identical with the two fan blades except for a few differences which I will point out to help other buyers make a decision on what they are looking for...

1. This fan (the Harmony) has 2 connection points per blade compared to 1 on the Santa Ana. Not sure if this makes any difference but the overall sturdiness and build quality of the Harmony seems very good and the motor is very quiet. Some reviews state there are some quality issues with the Santa Ana

2. The Harmony uses pull chains to turn on and off the light and adjust the speeds of the fan compared to a wireless remote on the Santa Ana. I wanted the pull chains since I was wiring this up to wall switches to control the on/off operation of the fan and...

GREAT BUY!
I read the reviews, and was a little skeptical but I really liked the style so I purchased it. I'm really glad that I did. This fan is sooooo quiet that you don't know that it even on! The style goes great with my modern furnishings and the light although not extremely bright, offers a nice light for my family room without being overpowering and glaring. I would definitely recommend this fixture especially if the style is to you liking!
