97215-86 Indoor Windmill Ceiling Fan in Oiled Bronze with Weathered Oak Blades

Looks good when up. Took about 1 hour to assemble. Took two people to hang. Had to reinforce fan box to support thr weight. Light kit is extra. 6 speeds moves good amount of air on 12 foot ceiling

Great fan; it is definitely a statement piece. I agree with others that it could spin faster to produce more air. However, due to the size of the 72" fan, it really did not need to. It puts out enough, but it's just not what you think. You would think a fan this size would create a hurricane in your living room. I was expecting the pictures to blow off the wall. Luckily for me, that was not the case. Ensure to ask the seller about the correct down rod. It makes a big difference in airflow. The fan only comes with a 6" down rod; most ceilings will need a longer one. I have a 12' ceiling, so the 36" down rod (Quorum 6-3686) worked great. I don't recommend universal down rods with this fan. I tried that, and the fan made a clicking sound. I reached out to the seller, and they sent me what I needed for a price, of course.

This is a fantastic fan and huge. It has about 70 parts, so READ all the instructions BEFORE you begin assembly. Don't assemble it on the floor. I used a 6' folding table. This fan is very large! Take your time in the assembly and don't tighten the hardware until told to do so. I was able to hang the fan by myself. I did make sure the wiring in the ceiling was long enough to be reached from around and over the fan. I had a little trouble securing the upper cover over the wiring. The remote control and 6 speeds with reverse provide great airflow. It is a gentle airflow, even on 6 it won't blow your hat off it is very pleasant. When the fan first starts, give it a moment to start, it is a DC motor and spools up slowly. We always get great complements on the look of the 15 blades. I Would recommend this fan.

I rarely review anything, but this time I am compelled to write a review/complaint because I have $1200.00 worth of fan and fan parts that are worthless and don’t work. I have many complaints so bare w/me. We purchased the Windmill 97215-86 72” Ceiling fan end of April 2019. When we made the order, we were living in a travel trailer on our property as our house was demolished; added onto and rebuilt. First : I was very happy the fan came boxed very snugly, and securely and the package was delivered undamaged and in a timely manner. With the purchase of the fan I also purchased the light kit. Prior to placing the order I asked if the fan was light kit ready and was told “Yes, yes it is”. They were even kind enough to tell me which kit to order. When the electrician went to attach the light, he realized there wasn’t any parts or pieces that would marry the fan with the light. (Basically., no Thingy MaJig to hold the light kit to the base of the fan) Second: Again, the fan was installed July 2019 and it stopped working less than 2 months later. I don’t know the exact date of death on the fan, but I do know it died around the first week of September 2019. I sent emails to Amazon and to this company and haven’t heard back from anyone telling me what to do. Even with all of these issues I highly recommend the Windmill fan if you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch for your living area or covered patio. I believe this is just a one time unlucky issue. We ordered $5,000.00 worth of lighting/fixtures on Amazon and the Windmill was the only light/fixture we had any problem with. Of course it had to be the most expensive fixture we purchased. Because we are the proud owners of an Extremely Beautiful and Extremely Expensive Assed, Dust Catching, NON-WORKING ceiling fan and no resolution in sight I can only give it 1 Star. If there were negative stars I would click that. I will gladly change my rating if someone will call, text or email me on what I need to do about getting this thing fixed. I bought the extended warranty, but was told by someone at the sellers business or Amazon that you are supposed to use the manufacturer 1yr Warranty

We bought this as a "statement piece" for the living room. It's an open area with 10' ceilings so we needed something proportionate. This is IT! I mean, it's expensive but we get comments about the fan all the time. It's a good conversation starter. A couple things to note: - You might be thinking what I did, there are lots of blades and will feel great with the breeze in the summer. WRONG. It doesn't put out a windstorm like I thought it would...not even remotely close. Maybe because there are so many blades there is less time for air displacement. I don't know. This is the main reason for the 3-stars. If you want a fan that gives a good breeze look elsewhere. - There is no light on the fan. It is only a fan - When you turn it on there is a slight pause before it turns on. This might be a feature to protect the motor from failure due to stress from the amount of weight/material it has to start moving. Funny thing, the electrician up-charged us because of the number of parts and time it took to assemble/hang.

This fan is great! It tells you this in the instructions, but make sure you have 3 people hanging the fan. If only two people try to hang it the weight will be distributed unevenly and could damage the fan. It comes with a remote that has 6 different speed settings and a button to change fan direction to have air flow go up or down. Looks beautiful against our stained ceiling.
