True. I'd like to go to Fanimation someday. But it's hard because it'd have to be when I'm off for a while, and then it's probably best to go when there's groups going. I don't really consider myself a CF collector, mostly a PF collector. But that's mainly because I have nowhere to install the CFs so they'd be sitting around in the way with possible damage. I've been trying to buy things for my future place when I see them in thrift stores, or yard sales, etc. But it takes up space and I don't want to become a hoarder. LOL I've thought about getting a storage unit to keep it but that would get too expensive. If you want a Leighton, I think I saw some online, maybe it was on eBay not too long ago, they were nickel finish though. I have never seen a Leighton around here, which I probably won't since you say they were a Lowes exclusive. Lowes didn't open here until very early 2006 so they probably never had any by then. The Passport III was very common around here, and I imagine Home Depot sold them. My neighbor with the Fascos got one right before all the hurricanes in 2004. Home Depot opened in 2001 here so they probably had some older models as well. But Scotty's Hardware also sold the spinner motor Hunters so they were fairly common in the 90s and 80s. Like you if I had been older I could have gotten a lot more. I think of all the fans I used to see thrown away in my neighborhood - an 1895, Fasco Rain Safes, Blenderfan, etc. If I had been older I could have kept them. Although the Great Room I missed out on my street was my own fault. If I had just grabbed the box and carried it home in the daylight, it wouldn't have gotten grabbed by someone else. And I could have had another Great Room that probably just needed a flywheel. Fortunately I do get to go to the AFCA Florida meet. I've met one collector from here on there. But those meets are mostly all the antique cast iron CFs if they have any. Which I don't really collect. Although the raffle prize last year I think was a 1990 Hunter Summer Breeze NIB. I've thought someday of trying to visit the Habitats outside of my area like in Lakeland or Orlando to see if they have nicer stuff. But I hate driving in those areas. lol From what I've heard the group trips are fun but if you're not a kid person they are very overwhelming/exhausting. There are definitely some adult collectors I'd like to meet and pick there brains in person. Its tough to store things when its not "your place". I'm very OCD with wanting things organized and not alot of junk lying around. However I'm not as OCD as say my aunt who would love to get rid of all of my uncles tools because they aren't used. Storage definitely adds up. A good friend of mine had a ton of stuff in his grandparents basement and they "evicted" him from there lol.. He was paying so much for an equivalent sized storage unit that was climate controlled for like $50 more he could have had an apartment. My wife has a relative who has a giant one and pays $400 a month to store essentially garbage (hamburger wrappers, cleaning supplies from the 1980's etc). I'm on the hunt for an AB one, thank for letting me know about the BN ones. I was 9 when Lowes came to our area in 2001. I thought we were late to the Lowes game however I still preferred Home Depot till I actually got my license and started to projects on my own. I'm now exclusively pro Lowes haha. We had Home Depot come when I was 5 in 1997. However it helped the demise of my childhood belowed Rickel's Home Centers. I've always heard about Scotty's Hardware but never really researched them they seem to have had a very positive reputation. That'd be cool to go to an AFCA Florida meet. I have a couple portables but I've never been as interested in them. Maybe one day! Habitats can be a royal pain. I remember one time me and my wife were dating and we tried to find one in Delaware and it was the biggest runaround we ended up giving up and going to the Cheesecake Factory instead and had lunch. Then again I've been to some others that were awesome just on a whim. I hate traveling but when I do I try to find them but I rarely go away.

What generation Taco, if I may? My uncle just bought a gen 3 Taco with the cast iron 2.7L in it; he's got more trust for Toyota's I4s than he does their V6's and up since he knows those iron-block engines hold up. I like the idea of GM's Dynamic Fuel Management system on their Silverado/Sierra, but I think that for a large V8 engine such as that, if you're getting 18/19 MPGs from it (they used to use the flex fuel cylinder deactivation deal), you're doing well. The Dynamic fuel Management system complicates the cylinder deactivation process. I'll wait until GM works out whatever kinks they've got with that. Back to fans, yeah, Hunter is probably just gonna keep doing what they're doing. Which they should; it's far better than what they've been doing for the past 10 years. But it indeed would be nice to see all of these high-end, Direct Drive and some DC Hunters under the Prestige umbrella. I'd argue that Casa quality at this point is still above what Hunter used to offer at the Prestige level in years past, and even though they don't have that lineup of XLP fans anymore, their current spinner motor fans are definitely underrated. People remember the Direct Drive and XTR Casas of the past; they were easily as powerful and in the XTR's case, more powerful than the XLP and K55 Casas then but most of them were unbearably noisy. These newer Direct Drives from them are silent, from what I've seen of the newer Casas at different showrooms I've been to. While the K55-type Casas of years past will always be something special for all of us who went through that stack motor phase ("if it's not stack it sucks") and in general, from a pure performance standpoint, the top-tier 188×20mm Direct Drive outperforms the older XLP's and uses less energy. But as mad as we all were when 2013 came around looking at what Casablanca was doing, the people who still trash this stuff after six years are usually those collectors who are all "if it isn't vintage it's bad", lol. If only they had an XTR-like motor for fans aside from the Duluth.... In my experience, KOF is NOT better than Air Cool by any metric. Their motors are barely alright, but their components aren't just poorly made, they're poorly designed too. I have two Hampton Bay Sauternes made by KOF; these we're high end HBs in the two years they were made, 2005 and 2006. They have decently thick metal stampings, large 188×18mm motors, and are ridiculously heavy for what they are (not Original heavy, but around 35lbs a piece. I don't know why...these are heavier than my Fanimation Edgewood 60" with a 212×25mm motor!). The screw holes for the blade brackets and the blade brackets attached to the motor hub literally do not line up, and the motor hub is designed in a way where you might get cut holding the fan without gloves. The light kit plate doesn't have the keyhole slot design so you can put it onto the motor's bottom plate. There are six holes that look the same size as one another, but three of them are just enough bigger than the other three where the screws included don't have enough diameter to support the LK plate. I've got more junky KOF stuff I've had to replace in my house that had all of these issues plus s*** performance. All of the good HB's I've seen recently have been made by Air Cool, and as I said, Minka stuff. The Supra fits just about what I'd expect from an Air Cool product; quality components, good motor for its size, no issues. That issue you had with screws stripping was most likely due to either cheap screws or a defect in the threading of the yoke; that can happen almost anywhere. When it comes to these DC motors, I see what you mean viewing these as kind of like an "electric car" in the fan market. I agree that these DC motors are going to be successful in their market in a way electric cars won't in that market, at least for residential fans. Because residential fans, especially higher end ones tend to rely on the torque of their motors more than speed to move air, DC motors will thrive in those situations. They allow for a wider range of designs (and designs involving higher pitch). The same amount of torque as (or more than) a conventional AC motor can be achieved in a smaller and far more efficient package. This means designs with extreme amounts of pitch (i.e. Atlas Super Janet, Minka Aire Artemis XL5, Star 7, etc) or fans with heavy blades that still perform well for what they are (i.e. Casablanca Stealth DC, Fanimation Odyn, various new "Windmill-style" fans). DC motors will never be successful for HSSD (High Speed Small Diameter) industrial/commercial fans since conventional DC motors max out at around 300-350 RPM unloaded, but if large enough, can be successful for HVLS (High Velocity Low Speed) large industrial/commercial fans, which are becoming more popular and more manufacturers of those get rid of their gearbox designs. 2nd Generation. I bought the last year of that generation (2015). I never test drove a 4cylinder Tacoma but I do know that reliability of that engine is legendary. I require a V6 I want POWER when I hit the gas (ask my wife haha) She got a new car a year or so ago which is a 4 cylinder and she loves it but everytime I drive it I’m saying PLEASE let me trade it in lol. I’m amazed taking the new GM technology out of the equation, GM probably had the most cars collectively with people in my life. (And I’m 26 so its not like I’m talking about when they were in there hey day back when.) However I would say probably 90% of the people I know who had a GM vehicle have replaced it with something non GM.. Its insane, the Silverado still has its loyal fan base but other than that everyones switching to Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Hyundai… Its scary and a bit sad. Good Points. I’ll tell a longwinded rant now that I’m thinking about it.. I “bought” a Panama with the XTR motor in 2009/2010. Essentially, I decided to save up my Christmas money and purchase either a Panama, Concentra, or Ventura in Antique Brass for our (my parents house) Dining Room. I spent way too much time over Christmas break debating which model to buy. We at the time had two showrooms that Casablanca’s were decently priced. The one stocked Panama’s and a few mainstream models like the Utopian, Wailea (or however its spelled), etc. They were great prices on Panama’s with blades (at the time) $199 for a Pull Chain model or $239 for IT or AdvanTouch. For this specific installation I needed a remote so AdvanTouch was the way to go (If I went the Panama route) . However those good prices were only in the summer during there Truckload sale after Labor Day it was like $450 for a Panama at least. So they were out, then we had another showroom which stocked Panama’s at an ok price however they didn’t stock AdvanTouch and they would only order the Concentra or Ventura’s in white for some strange reason. So that lead me to looking online which I wanted to get the best deal… I found a site that was the best deal on the Panama AdvanTouch with Walnut Blades. Then I ordered a matching light kit on Ebay. The fan came one day after school, I arrive and low and behold… Its NOT an AdvanTouch, and its not even an XLP Panama it’s an XTR200… I’m pissed beyond belief because I just spent $200 and its not what I ordered. So I call them up and they claim that’s what I bought. I fought with them for over three hours for them to admit it was there mistake. So I say I want to exchange it for the right thing which a good company would obviously pay shipping/send a label for the wrong unit and send the new one… No their policy (which I should have read) was you pay the shipping back to them on the wrong item and they send you the new one as well as take a 5% restocking fee because of “wear” on the packaging.. If I “returned” it, I would have had to pay an insane restocking fee I think like 45% or something plus ship it back which I would have in the end after paying myself back for the shipping had gotten like $20 back or something. So they then agreed because the model I wanted was “discontinued” then back ordered, and another lie that there website claimed they had 25 available IN THEIR OWN warehouse plus x amount available from the manufacturer. I ended up agreeing to a partial refund of $40 and they would send me an “Adapttouch” Remote Control for the fan. Since I was supposed to get the AdvanTouch. I kept it for about four months and I HATED the thing. It hummed and was so loud and that 20 degree pitch made it look awful! The AdaptTouch I ended up not using because it was such a poor design. It was one of my most hated fans ever. I ended up listing it for sale on DT and a collector purchased it. I was gonna lose only like $20 on it and I sold the remote on ebay so I would break even on this horrendous purchase and the other collector really wanted it.. So I go to Lowes and purchase the last Hunter Westminster they had (the Savoy style) for $100 and installed that. Is that the end of this story? NOPE, I get a message the fan was destroyed by UPS in shipping so I had to go with a claim and because I didn’t pay for extra insurance I only got $100 back and took another loss on this fan and refunded the collector his money. In the end I got the Westminster so that was ok for a while, however that XTR was an awful experience of purchasing and also of a motor that Hunter wasted money on developing. Direct Drive motor Casablanca’s (except for the Four Seasons variants) always seemed to humm loud. The only one I’ve ever owned was a Versa Touch 2 Concentra in Matte Black. Did not like that one at all. I sold it on Craigslist a month or so after buying it. It hummed as loud as an obnoxious kid! However these new DirectDrive Casablanca’s I am very impressed with. My Aunt was the first one I’ve experienced she bought for her bedroom. It’s a pullchain model with the Beadboard ABS blades. The thing is as silent as a XLP and even with plastic blades it hauls and moves some air! I agree that they are poorly designed. Heres an interesting fact, the Antigua can not be installed on a 2 ft. downrod, it clanks from the unbalancing due to the large blades. Put it on a 1’ or a 3’ its perfectly fine. I’ve seen this in several installations and couldn’t believe it. That sounds like a terrible design overall!! I saw on Hansen Wholesale that the Supra line is discontinued… I hope this is not so!! I’ve yet to own a DC fan, will I? Probablby one day but not any day soon. There are too many fans out on the market right now I want just the way they are I don’t have yet

Yeah, I remember that fiasco with the Casablanca. Personally if I were getting a Casablanca I'd get one of the XLP motor models, but I'm just old fashioned. The DC motors, I don't have anything against though. They still have the older style Panama in weathered copper or matte black. But those finishes might be a little hard to fit into a room than white, AB or brushed nickel. A couple years ago I though about getting one of those copper Panamas to replace my parents SMC, it would look great in their house, but I never did it. The newer style Panama I'm ok with, the one with the oblong blades looks a little odd to me, like when Hunter came out with similar blades on the Low Profile. But I'm sure it's a great fan still.
Now I'm thinking about using some of my tax return and getting a Paramount XP, Panama and maybe Supra. Especially since you say the Supra may be discontinued. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised since they've been out for at least a decade I think.

"Now I'm thinking about using some of my tax return and getting a Paramount XP, Panama and maybe Supra." I like your choices! The seller on amazon of the paramount xp also has them on Ebay with "Make Offer", and frugalfair on amazon has a refurb for 99 with free shipping. Are the refurbs ok to buy from them?

I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised since they've been out for at least a decade I think. I'd also buy an XLP Casa if I had to get one; I can find them complete with blades and all for cheaper than the Direct Drives they currently sell. I like the aesthetic and proportions of the older Panama more than the current one, but I quite like the look of the current one. Those oblong blades you're referring to aren't sold with the Panama, I don't believe...Yeah, still great fans though. Still fantastic quality and (for the current Direct Drive) slightly better performance than the outgoing model. Also, even though the canopy isn't cast anymore, I far prefer the Hunter/Casablanca 5xxxx mounting design to Hang Tru, which can be a little of a pain sometimes (not as bad as Hunter's mounting system from the 2000s though). Wish they would have kept the smaller size (42"/44") option out there for the Panama, as well as the 58" option they have now. I don't believe I mentioned this, but all the Supras except for the 52" one with the light kit and the remote seem to have been axed by Minka, quietly though. I'm surprised since the Supra sells so well compared to its direct competition (Craftmade CXL, Kichler Canfield, Monte Carlo Designer, Emerson Monterey, Carrera and Designer). Build quality wise, the Emerson Carrera with its thicker stampings and cast materials are better than every other build there (even the other two Emersons), but the Supra is well built and performs a little better than everything there except for the Canfield, which has a larger 172×20mm instead of the 188×15mm the rest use. And it costs less. But hey, $199 for the unipacked Supra with the light and remote isn't bad at all for as quality as they are, seeing as Kichler sells their unipacked Canfield Select and Canfield Pro for what, $280? What I think could happen is potentially an updated Supra or similar come 2020; hope they switch the already powerful 188×15mm motor to a 172×20mm. I also hope that if they do update the Supra/make a new line of fans, they don't make it ugly. Or if nothing new is coming out, maybe Minka recognized market trends towards larger fans and thought it more profitable to leave the Supra with the light/remote in the lineup; still market competitive pricing and the added "convenience" of the remote, but you just have to not use the light kit for folks like me.

There are also white Panama XLP refurbs on eBay for $129 free shipping. The Casas at least still have the warranty and in home service guarantee so I see no reason to avoid them.

This is the one I saw with the oblong blades, not sure if that's a special package or not... but the look is growing on me. I think I'm just used to the short switch housing and Casa tag. The new one just looks - different. Kinda like how they changed the switch cap on the Original. But it's ok, it's not bad. eBay PanamaThe Supra would be a great coordinating fan with the 3 sizes offered, and they're all powerful too from the sounds of things. It has a great look, with some resemblance to past fans. But it's contemporary too. The Harbor Breeze Bella Vista comes to mind in that too, different fan though.

I believe so, I read somewhere they were out back in 2004 which seemed early to me but I'm not sure.. I never followed Minka till probably 3 years ago.

Frugalfair is an excellent company to purchase from. I've purchased several fans from them. They handle all of Hunters returns and I believe take there old stock too of discontinued models from what I've heard. I had one fan come to me with a bad motor and they sent me a whole new fan (not just a motor) with two day shipping and said to keep the defective one for extra parts or what not. The fans literally come in the original packaging and 100% complete, I've never had a missing part. But they do come with a plain brown box instead of a normal Hunter printed box. I know a couple of other collectors who have also bought from them... Very happy with the company!

What really makes me mad/upset about the Supra being discontinued is that with that the 44" and 32?" will be going with it. Why is no one churning out small and midsized fans. Everything new coming out seems to be 52" +. I understand that new houses are getting higher ceilings and open floor plans but why the heck would you not still make different smaller fans. Its not like discontinuing finishes because they are out of style.. There are still millions of older homes and a demand for that. I agree however they have to be updating it. I mean sure I'm hoping that but the volume of that model that sold along with the full range of sizes and universal finishes it'd be dumb not to have that. I've been to many showrooms/electrical supply places where the Supra is today's Panama in there go to model to sell volume!

To even go back further the triangular vent Hunters started with models like the Sonora and Sintera excellent Hunter non showroom models the first example that want so good was in summer 2007 they came out with a Home Depot exclusive "special buy" model the Fremont. Instead of plywood/HWPW-VC blades it had MDF took the blade span down to a 46" and gave it a tiny 153 sized motor. these weren't horrendous but we're more of a Hunter builder fan.. The following spring the Stonington came out more as a permanent model of this. Then as Noah mentioned the waldon and Westminster transitioned to this style although ok looking they were garbage. Wasn’t the Fremont this? image.hunterfan.com/98000-02-059.pdf

To even go back further the triangular vent Hunters started with models like the Sonora and Sintera excellent Hunter non showroom models the first example that want so good was in summer 2007 they came out with a Home Depot exclusive "special buy" model the Fremont. Instead of plywood/HWPW-VC blades it had MDF took the blade span down to a 46" and gave it a tiny 153 sized motor. these weren't horrendous but we're more of a Hunter builder fan.. The following spring the Stonington came out more as a permanent model of this. Then as Noah mentioned the waldon and Westminster transitioned to this style although ok looking they were garbage. Wasn’t the Fremont this? image.hunterfan.com/98000-02-059.pdfGreat question. Their was the Fremont that was a galley edition Home Depot model and then they reused the name on that one.
