Update 6-15-2018 I contacted Amazon to just get a replacement light kit. No dice. They referred me to manufacturer. We all know how that went. (20 minutes of phone hell, never reached a human, and finally got disconnected - Oh, how surprising!) I was still under 30 days (barely), so I started a return for the whole unit with Amazon, and then I ordered a whole new unit to replace it. Not about to uninstall the whole thing (mounted on a 14 ft ceiling), so I just took the light kit out of the new box and replaced the defective one, then returned the second fan unit, untouched, with the defective light kit, and a note saying not to resell the unit, unless they replace the light kit.. RETURNS WARNING: Not sure what's up with Amazon now, but used to be if a return was started before the 30 days, you still had a couple weeks to get it back to them. This time, I set up the return 29 days in, and the email they sent me said I had less than 24 hours to get it back to them, to get a refund. Ack! I called them, and they fixed it, but the way they fixed it, was to claim I was returning the second fan I'd just ordered - thus eliminating any 30 day window for returns on the new fan. I called them back, and said the first kit worked great on day one, too, but failed after 3 weeks, so I'd like to keep my option to return the second one in 30 days, if need be. They said they'd fix it, but it still shows I returned the second one, not the original fan, and it's been 2 weeks. Hopefully, I won't need to return this one, but Beware - they are getting tricky on returns, and read those emails, to be sure you still have time to return it, even if you started the return before the 30 days. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Update 6-3-2018: Light kit failed in just 3 weeks from install. Will update again, after attempts to resolve. ------------- Original Review --------------------- Just installed yesterday. Light kit and fan blades were harder than needed to be for install, but at the end, it's a nice looking fan & light, and mine works well so far. Pros: - Looks good overall. Color is crisp white, and the light kit has pretty, swirled design glass, that looks clean. - Light bulbs are the tiny candle kind, but they put out a surprising amount of light in my kitchen. - Moves a lot of air, and does so QUIETLY! Very quietly. - Easy electrical connectors for the light kit. Just snap together, no wire nuts. - Roomy fan housing, so the wires fit easily inside (and potentially any remote you might buy separately). - Extra long wires, so if you need a down-rod extension, it's great. I needed 4' extra, and didn't need to cut, or splice. - Good support bracket for holding it up while you connect the wires, especially with the down-rod extension. Cons: - Install is harder than it needs to be, so plan on cursing more than usual. - Screws are super short, and nearly impossible to get started, because your fingers can't hold them close enough to even start them. - Screw holes are not all pre-threaded, light kit is just punch holes, so plan on cursing more than usual! - Fan blades now require a rubber grommet to be installed, prior to screwing blades to their holders. - Grommets are quite the pain to install, and there are 15 of them, so plan on some time to do that. Overall, I like the fan/light kit. Once you get it installed, you'll be happy, and the price is right. You will be climbing up and down that ladder to find your screws that you dropped (a LOT), but if you learn from my mistakes, you'll pre-install all the screws for the light kit before you even get on that ladder. Don't assemble the kit, just get the screws in place - to open up the holes. They aren't threaded, so doing it on the floor is wildly better than doing it on a ladder, over your head. Once you've threaded the screws in, they'll come in and out a LOT easier, so when you are up there, you won't be fumbling/dropping/cursing quite as much as I was. FYI, I've installed about 15 ceiling fans in the last 35 yrs, and this was harder than some, easier than others. Just new ways to make it hard, but they're almost all a pain to install, one way or another.
