Portage Bay 51446 Montlake Ceiling Fan, 52, Bronze

If you buy any ceiling fan, buy yourself one of these. I am so happy with this fan! The price alone is way cheaper than the name brands like Hunter and Honeywell. Plus the airflow per square foot is as high as Hunter’s top of the line fans in the 3500 range and double that of Honeywell. Top speed is like a helicopter taking off!! Summer heat stands no chance against it. The light kit isn’t typical candelabra bulb sockets, but a single led fixed light that’s not actually a bulb. I have no idea what it’s called, but it’s a brilliant design which didn’t think I was going to like the idea of but I am thoroughly impressed. I’m sure it never burns out ever. It’s super bright but extremely pleasantly distributed light that illuminates the entire room and the fan blades don’t seem to effect it with that awful flickering that gets created by the shadows the blades create on the ceiling... hurts the eyes. Hard to explain, but maybe you know what I’m talking about. I hate using the light on fans usually. This one is bright, but somehow, the temperature is perfect. Blades are high end finishes. I’m using the barn wood one but the other side is a nice espresso. Both look good which is hard to come by in a ceiling fan in this price range. Love the option to flush mount it as needed but opted to use the down rod for my installation. Speaking of which, the installation was EASY!! This fan has design features even Hunter can’t compete with. Over all, it seems certain design matters were addressed which made this way more user friendly. When I installed my Hunters, I spent most of the time dropping screws on the floor and swearing. This was a literal breeze. I love the light cover dome being shallow compared to a standard Hunter with the dome style light cover which is what I had up there before. Lower profile means even with the down rod, it’s closer to the ceiling than the other fan. Really happy with my purchase. No need to look any further, just buy it!

Easy to install, sturdy build, clean look. The reversible fan blades is a nice touch and instructions took a few times to read but in the end the install wasn’t bad at all - being the first two I’ve ever done. I will say there’s a bit of a warm electronics smell from both fans that hasn’t yet “burned off” from use so I’m closely monitoring that - be it my install (which I’ve taken it down and rechecked) or just the way they were built. I bought two and installed both and both smell a bit. Only difference is I did one with the extension tube in a taller room and one without in a smaller room.

The fan was relatively easy to install, blade attachment remains an Achilles heel for all of these fans. Directions were clear. The speed pull chain hole in the glass cover is misaligned so activating it is dicey. Didn't matter for us as we have separate switches for fan and light. You get what you pay for, fit and finish is a bit lacking. Patterned side of blades were hideous, so glad there were two sides to choose from.

I bought the bronze version with the reversible blades. 3 installed so far and one to go. Installation got easier each time around, and overall, the fan was pretty easy to install. Only annoying part is that the pull cord for the fan speed doesn’t seem to work quite right, otherwise it’s great.

I mean, for $40, you really can’t go wrong. We ordered two of these - one for our baby’s room and one for ours .. the fan is pretty powerful!! It’s been really nice. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn’t work with the dimmer we have but that wasn’t a big deal for us. Love it!

The media could not be loaded. The only thing i disliked is it didn't bring a remote control. Other then that it is an AMAZING FAN. It cools the room pretty fast. Its worth every penny.

This ram was a nightmare to install. The wiring was super easy but putting together was just awful, took almost 3 hours. Mine didn’t come with a remote, but apparently it was suppose too. Does give out a decent about of air, but I wish it was a little more. There is a light ticking noise on the inside that comes and goes, but not a big deal to me.

Got it during black Friday. Super great value and very easy to install.My only qualm was that the amazon listing said the color temperature was 3000k, but the light unit itself states that it's 2700K. A little disappointed about that.My shipment also didn't come with the bracket mounting screw either, but I just used the screws from the old fan.
