Westinghouse Lighting 7214040 Bendan One-Light 132 cm/52-Inch Five-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, White Finish with Opal Frosted Glass

Makes a real difference on horribly hot summer nights.Had a few complications fitting the fan - but I'm so pleased with it overall that it still gets 5 stars.The fan is attractive, robust, stable (despite the weight) and is almost entirely silent on the first 2 settings.Creates a good level of air movement; I'm currently 8 month pregnant, during a heatwave - and this makes a big difference to making nights more bearable.Did have a few issues fitting the fan. I hired an electrician for this - as instructions specify this (and it's quite heavy).Electrician advised that it can't technically just replace a standard light - as installation instructions specify a 2-pole switch and most UK light switches are only one pole.Electrician had fit a second isolation switch on the ceiling (I think it'd also work if you just used a standard light switch as-is, but fan wouldn't be properly isolated in case it needed repair in future and this would void the warrantee).We had to contact the manufacturer to double-check using a separate isolation switch was an acceptable alternative to a 2-pole switch (which they did confirm) but it was hard to reach them - as they only have a German contact number.Overall, a few issues fitting - more hassle than expected, but nothing insurmountable.Once installed, fan is excellent.

Fitted this a few weeks ago in our bedroom. Relatively easy to fit. Only awkward area was squeezing the remote pickup box into the housing. This was a bit fiddly but eventually got it to fit. This is quite a heavy unit so make sure it is secured to a joist.When working the fan is very stable even on full speed setting. The fan unit sits on a rubber dampened pivot joint but the fan is very balanced and there is hardly any movements during operation.We have had it set to 1 most nights during recent warm weather and find it far better than a floor fan. Not had opportunity to use it on winter setting yet.The only area we didn't like was the light. It uses an 80W halogen bulb which is very bright. I changed it for a lower wattage LED and it is much better.Overall really pleased with this purchase and would recommend. It is a little more expensive than some alternatives but I believe it is worth the money.

I bought the remote control version, fitting was straight forward But you need to think TIDY then all the wiring goes into the mount housing. The IR detector lens unscrews to fit the hole. No problems with balanceit ran smoothly and quietly and our nervous cat ignored it. Make sure your screwdriver is the correct fit as the screwheads are soft.

Way better than the Westinghouse Comet, which is bigger. Orginally ordered one of these but the glass arrived broken. I returned and got a Comet. Installed it and was highly disappointed. Quiet but couldnt feel any air. Now, this is back in stock, and installed its way better. Theres no direct speed control on the fan, but there is a remote control for it. I have not plugged in the remote control unit yet (other than to test - works great) as have wall switches for seperate light and fan controls. Will need an electrician to modify for this fan. The fan is a little noisy with dings and rattles, but I suspect thats the cables inside tapping on the frame. I am going to wrap in cloth tape to see if that helps.

The fan is a bit bigger than I had expected but that is my fault for not checking the size first. It is really quiet on speeds 1 and 2, and is very stable, but has a distinct wobble on speed 3. It certainly helps me to sleep in the extremely hot weather we have been experiencing recently. The light is very bright. The remote control is a great feature.

Update: once the power was turned on in the house I am building, the fan did not work, however, the light did. Due to the squeeze trying to get everything under the rose, one of the connectors was slightly pulled apart by about 2mm, enough to stop the fan working. Just thought I’d mention it in case someone has a similar problem.Nice looking unit, perfect for circulating the heat in my vaulted ceiling conservatory.Fitting was a little nerve-wracking at height, as all the wiring and the remote transceiver all goes into the rose, and there is literally only just enough room for it all.The remote IR receiver is tricky too, it states to unscrew the lens from the casing, and although it can be done, I was beginning to wonder if it was a sealed unit as the two halves are solidly screwed together. Eventually I used some pliers to separate the two, not ideal, but there was no way I was able to unscrew it by hand.Extension rods are available for vaulted and high ceilings, I used a 30cm one.

Relatively straight forward to fit, looks great, very smooth and quiet, light is bright, remote feature great and on the whole does it's job very well. A bit of thought needed when installing, make sure it screws into joists above ceiling (I bolted an extra block of wood onto a joist so both the screws were anchored well, I also added two extra screws for good measure) it's a very tight squeeze with wires in the top bowl so pay attention to the position, I made sure the remote sensor hole was also facing the front.

Produit de belle qualité et bon brassage de l'air. Produit assez lourd et pas évident à installer mais quand c'est fait on est content.

Enkel att montera. Tystgående, funkar perfekt samt bra med lampa.

J'en avais déjà un depuis 3 ans, là j'en ai racheté un autre super ventilo silencieux et économique très bonne qualité je le recommande

The media could not be loaded.  Silenzioso e efficace, nel video ho mostrato le tre velocità, alla massima si sente un po'di di rumore perché probabilmente non è bilanciato benissimo (in dotazione c'è un kit di bilanciamento) , ma a noi non serve perché a 1 è più che sufficiente. Finalmente posso dormire tutta la notte d'estate a finestre e persiane chiuse, perché non riesco a dormire con la luce e il cinguettio degli uccellini all'alba (un baccano che non vi dico!). Qualità eccellente, funziona da estate a inverno (inversione del verso di rotazione delle pale mediante un interruttore manuale sulla sommità del ventilatore). Dopo due anni dall'acquisto confermo il miglior acquisto di sempre, meglio dell'aria condizionata e a un costo minore. La luce l'ho messa comandabile dagli interruttori invece che dal telecomando, così da mantenere tutti i tre interruttori atttivi e in più mettendo la lampadina adatta ho lasciato che rimanesse dimmerable così come era prima di metterci il ventilatore.

Snygg design. Som andra påpekat så gungar fläktens motor en del - det verkar bero på feljustering från fabrik som användaren inte kan justera - vilket är lite estetiskt irriterande eftersom springan mellan fläkt och lampa omväxlande smalnar och breddas. Fläkten är lite knepig att installera i svenska tak eftersom täckkåpan är väldigt trång, man måste ta bort lampkontakter då de får inte plats, och det hela är väl därmed egentligen ett jobb för en elektriker. Elsäkerhetsmässigt känns det heller inte jättebra med en massa 220V-sladdar i ett trångt utrymme mot en oisolerad metallkåpa. Även lampdelen är lite knepig att montera, man måste få en kabel att ringla sig på exakt rätt sätt. Fjärrkontrollen samt mottargarenheten är standard Westinghouse-modell, så man hittar lätt reservdelar.Notera att lampan inte är dimbar som andra Westinghouse-fläktar. Det är dock bra ljus från lampan, och behagligt sken från den frostade glaskupan.Fläktverkan är relativt svag för en 132cm fläkt, vilket verkar bero på att den stora bollen med motorn gör att fläktbladen blir ganska korta. Westinghouse har flera mindre fläktar med bättre verkan.Det här är en uppenbar lågprismodell, som givet priset är ganska OK, bara man lyckas montera den utan att få en elektrisk chock. Personligen skulle jag nog ha föredragit att gå upp en tusenlapp i pris till t.ex. "Pierre".
