Quorum Windmill 72″ Indoor Ceiling Fan | Oiled Bronze Finish | 15 Weathered Oak Blades | 6-Speed Remote | Dry-Rated Decor Fan | Includes 6″ Downrod | 97215-86

I was looking for a fan that had a number of blades for covered large patio in Florida. After looking through so many fans that fit the requirements for blades and size for needed function I decided on the windmill fan for its distinctive look. Don’t usually go for any farmhouse look but with decor it doesn’t scream farmhouse.

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.

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

The fan looks incredible; everyone who see's it goes WOW. Square Deal Shop made everything go smoothly and did everything to make sure I was satisfied; what a great company to do business with.

The media could not be loaded. Light dims, great range of speeds, quiet operation.

I purchased and installed the 72" model with oiled bronze metal finish.Took a couple of hours to assemble, and a few minutes to install (with assistance!).Unfortunately - don't expect this fan to move a whole-lot of air... it just doesn't. While it does run nearly silently, the air movement is BARELY noticeable, even on "high" and directly beneath it (with fan blowing down). For over $1000.00, and with 15 blades, it should really be making some wind! Unfortunately, no... Very disappointing! But it sure looks nice!Assembly was fairly easy (there are a lot of screws!). However: I recommend NOT assembling all the blades together as a unit, and then trying to place them on to the motor as an assembly, as the instructions indicate. Much easier to assemble the brackets & arms onto (and through) all of the blades first, leaving the screws loose. Then assemble each blade onto the motor individually (again, only slightly snugging the screws). The last blade is a bit difficult to get in, but it will go. Once all the blades are attached to the motor hub and each other, the upper support-arms are then attached. Then go back though and tighten all the screws.It did require two of us to hang the fan - one one each side - on two 6' step-ladders (we have 10' ceilings).This fan, when fully assembled, is fairly heavy (for a ceiling fan), so be VERY CERTAIN that your outlet box in the ceiling is "FAN RATED", and not just a "regular" lighting box. The supplied mounting plate worked great. Just had to drill a couple of holes inside the box, right on the ceiling rafter, then drilled pilot-holes into the rafter itself, then installed the two lag screws. Worked-out well.My recommendation: If you need/want substantial air movement, this is NOT the fan you want! However, if you're wnting a good-looking "rustic" addition to your country home, this one's great... just not practical as an actual air-mover.

Beautiful fan, works on a sloped ceiling as long as it’s less than 25 degrees. Airflow works great for us. I got the biggest one I think it’s 72” and a 52 inch both work great and are beautiful!
