fake ceiling fan brace
928193
This bar is NOT for house that has a finished ceiling and you want to put in a fan or a fixture later.  There is no way to brace and clamp the brace tubing from outside.  This is for exposed house frame, and if frame space is not less than 14".  If less, you must cut the tubing.  The tubing is crimped to the side plates.  The crimp looks ok but I would not trust any more than 20 lbs of fixture weight.  Definitely not to support a fan with moving blades and motor for many decades.  The box is 1.5" deep and does not have enough space for fan's extra wires.  It is cheap and shows it.

I received the rod and the instructions were for installing a towel rod.  The bracket shown in the picture (rectangular) is completely different from the bracket that came with the rod (round and shaped like a pancake).  I had the rod cut, installed the brackets but cannot get the tiny screw to hold up the rod.  ( should mention that I am a 78 year old woman but I'm fairly handy with small tools}.  With the shape of the bracket I can't see how it will ever work.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.  I am ready to hire someone to complete the job but I want to make sure I have the correct bracket.  If I am nothing else I am determined.  I deconstructed the brackets and tried reversing them (putting what looked liked the finished side) against the wall and voila, it worked.  I still have a beef with the inadequate instructions.  Not everyone is a super handyman.  Thanks for any interest.

I bought this fan due to its low profile because of 7 ft ceilings.  I received and got it installed and it looked great, it all went downhill after that.  The blade arm was contacting the housing and making a grinding noise.  I took everything apart and changed one thing at a time including bending the ceiling bracket to no avail.  The contact between blade arm and housing stayed the same or got worse.

I am very disappointed and returning the fan. I really wanted to like it as it is a great looking fan, but does not work properly.

The instructions were not clear enough. My 10 foot penis got caught in a ceiling fan. Also, I now have a 10 foot penis that gets caught in ceiling fans.

Looks good and works well. Bought it based on reviews and got fooled. If you are looking for a high-speed ceiling fan look elsewhere.

Total wast of money. The grey part that looks like a fan blade is only for decoration. The real fan blade is on the inside. Product is almost useless, sitting in direct sunlight does not move any air whatsoever. If you look inside you can see the fan slowly turning but not moving any air. Also the company selling the fan does not allow returns.

This is actually a VERY nice item, and I'd have given it five stars except for the fact that the description of the item gave no indication that the "Fan Pants Hanger" does NOT fan out, unlike a competing product I was considering.  My mistake was in assuming that like other, similar products I've seen, the pants hanger rods would fan out but fold together when putting it away.  Instead, the rods are in a rigid, fixed-open position, the WHOLE of which swings into or out of the closet area.  This will not work for my behind-the-closet-door application and I am therefore returning it.  If you, instead, have a cubby area into which the whole, UNfolding fan shape will fit, it would work beautifully ... very nice construction and smooth glide.

The Brackets doesn't allow for the item to go flush with the ceiling, that leaves a small gap between ceiling a fixture as well as it lets it tilt a little.

This medallion is made out of foam. If you scratch it while installing the finish will come off to reveal white foam. It is very thick which makes the ceiling fan or light fixture hang an extra inch from the ceiling. The hole in the middle was much too small for the ceiling fan we were installing, so we had to cut out the foam a lot to get it to fit.

The assembly instructions were terrible.  Are the Chinese doing this on purpose?  I had to go on Youtube to find a video to assist with the assembly and even then it was not for the exact same fan.  I was also under the impression that this was an patio fan, since it appeared under such when used that for the Search.  It is not an exterior fan.  My bad for not checking more.

A handyman used  the John Sterling 0015-6BRZ Heavy Duty Closet Pole and two John Sterling CD-0010-BRZ Heavy Duty Closet Brackets and a 3' Stren-Flex EEF1-901-3 Type 3 Heavy Duty Nylon Strap to rig a means for me to get in and out of my bathtub/shower comfortably. This rig may not look all that good but it works well for me. And the shower curtains hide the rig from disapproving eyes. And it's a whole lot cheaper!

Ehere do I start? The case is molded with a bend at a corner of the outlet causing the snap on that edge not to snap. It doesn't make since to have an intake on both flat sides. Youre suppose to ne pulling air out of a hot electronics case. Not cool air out of the room. So if you tape up the half hole it works fine. But then we get to the dinky wires. A small dab of glue holds the tiny wires on the case... I feel like if I move them around much at all, the wires will nreak inside the sheilds or mayne oven snap off completely. This thing is so cheaply made that you can gently pull it apart at the blower hole and it falls apart. Id suggest if you're going to buy this fan, do something to stabelize the wires like add more hot glue then cover the half open area before you even plug it in. And before I forget, the blades are not twisted as a fans blades should be. They are flat with a slight bend in them to give the appearance of a fan. It doesnt even pull much air. I tried using this thing anyway before making modifications. I kept an eye on things and it wasn't helping. So I glued the eire and taped over the half hole. This helped a bit but still my equipment was getting a bit warm but not so much that I thought it was going to be a problem. A week later I ended up frying my $900 piece of equipment. I can't return the product because it has been altered. Oh well. Im just out the 900 plus the cost of this piece of plastic someone calls a fan.

Not happy about the screws. They cut into the plastic fan case. I guess the mold machine is not precise enough to ensure the screws fit the fan case. Sturdy and quiet fan.

I did many hours of research before settling on this fan. I don't like fans connected to the ceiling via a down rod, so this ceiling hugger is supposedly one of the best on the market. After installing it and have it running all night, I have to report some issues.

1. I specifically ordered the fan from "hansenwholesale" via Amazon because of their stellar customer service and the 5 year warranty on parts, but the package was shipped to me from another seller "Fansunlimited". I am not sure what is the deal here with Amazon as the re-seller. My invoice still says sold by hansenwholesale. Hopefully I won't need to use the warranty or have to take the whole thing down and apart to ship it back to solve this problem.

2. The light bulb is mini candelabra base (E11), and it came with one bulb (100 Watt). It was very difficult to find accurate information on the type of light bulb that this particular fan uses on the internet. In fact, if you go to Minka Aire's website on this model, the PDF manual that you can download shows that it is a medium base bulb (E26 or E27). So apparently the fan I received is a newer model. This makes a big difference because E11 bulbs are hard to find and the ones available are very energy consuming (no CFL or LED alternatives, at least not nearly bright enough).

3. The method to secure the fan to the box is iffy. The whole assembly relies on 4 little screws to attach the main unit to the bracket, and two lightweight wood screws to attach the bracket to the mounting box. This is a very heavy fan (about 30 pounds), I would hate to have it drop on anything or anybody.

The fan is easy to install, and seems to be of high quality. But because of the issues above, I am considering returning it. Just think that these information may be helpful to others.

Update after 2 weeks:
I decided to keep the fan because it is working fine so far. I don't use the light most of the time because of the high wattage/low illumination issue. The fan itself is quiet and moves quite a bit of air when set to high, and it hasn't fell off in my case.

This fan is made in China, not in USA as the item description states.

The fan too heavy for the articulating clamp arm to support properly -- when clamping to a vertical surface with the fan extended horizontally straight out from that surface, the fan droops down to a vertical position.  Tightening the bolts on the arm works, but only if they are tightened so much that the arm no longer articulates.  The clamp just barely holds the fan up when in this position, too.  I ended up removing most of the arm and bolting it directly to the surface.

The fan has a faint grinding sound like a cheap bearing.  Squirrel cage fans -- which this item is an example of -- do tend to be noisier than propeller fans, but this seems like a build quality issue.  Now that I've modified the fan, I can't return it.

Very disappointed. It isn't a ceiling fan pull. It is a Christmas ornament that they stuck a chain too. This thing is too huge to be considered for a ceiling fan.

Vent cover is made for fan-tastic fan , and it fits over fan very well, the mounting system has a cotter pin retaining bolt to keep in place, I think it is a very bad idea, I replace these with short stainless steel carriage bolts, a lot better securing system. it can't move. other problem is there is no screen on back cover, it is offered as a option, I took a piece of screen and secured it with proflex on the inside. works great, does not block air flow and keeps bugs out.
