With the weird fans thread comes the compilation of the best fans of the '14-'15 era. To kick this off, The first fan in this thread is the Emerson southtowne ceiling fan. With the stealth xlp being discontinued and no Emerson odyssey, this was quite a welcome addition. THANK YOU EMERSON FOR KNOWING WHAT YOURE DOING!! Attachment Deleted |

I don't really like the appearance of this one, but I assume the specifications are decent?

That's reasonable, assuming its no larger than 50".

Good fan #2: Fanimation islander ceiling fan w/ 1" interior diameter downrod. The fan was already a great product, but with added stability from the thicker downrod and the addition of standard style blades, the fan is now quite an excellent product. In a FanDiego showroom in murrieta, ca, there was a bronze islander with the new downrod and some wingtip blades that are now compatible with it (48" diameter), that thing kicked some serious ass in how much air it moved but did not go too fast due to the EXTREMELY steep blade pitch (20*), and actually looks really nice with standard blades, MUCH better than those huge tropical styled blades. Overall the addition of a thicker downrod and traditional blade options was quite good. Pictures coming later.

I like the big tropical blades! But a nice set of traditional wing tip blades would do this well. I do wish it had different blade iron options though.

Its not that I dislike them to any degree, I think they're pretty nice [especially compared to what else is out there today], but in terms of getting a really classic style out of it, I'd want some pretzel brackets..

When did he do that? I watched a few of the videos he did of the Islander with different blades, but I don't think I ever got to them all.

Best fan #3 and one of my personal favorites (might go up in my bedroom, maybe): The emerson penbrooke ceiling fan. This thing seriously reminds me of a contemporary stack motor casablanca from the 90s in the way it is styled, which I really like. The thing has so many options in the blades you can select; you even can add an optional uplight and have the option of a switch cup with a 3 speed pull chain with reverse switch on it, or a switch cup with no control in order to add an optional intellitouch-like 6 speed wall, remote, or 2&1 control. Cole has a video to demonstrate the system. I also saw one of these at the showroom, and it moved a TTTTOOOOOONNNNNNNN of air, even more than the islander due to the slightly larger stack motor (K55XL); surprising especially because it has quite a mediocre blade pitch (13*). Btw this is the type of fan that would look really good in chrome w/ some black high gloss blades, just my 2 cents. Pics are again coming later.
