A close relative of mine passed away recently. I am currently cleaning out their home, which was built in the late 80's. The home has a NuTone Hacienda and Nutone Decorator, which I posted pictures of last year. Both fans are basically in mint condition, work perfectly, and have the classic NuTone wall switches. While cleaning out their garage, I made an incredible find. I found a NuTone Elegance in a box, which looks as good as new. I have no clue as to why the fan sat in a box for all of these years. The fan does have a light kit attached to it, so my guess is that it was hung for a very short period of time and then replaced by the Decorator. This NuTone Elegeance is dated 07/88. I plan on installing it in my house, and will also be taking the Hacienda and Decorator with me.

The manual says it can use 4 or 5 blades: Attachment Deleted |

Sorry your relative passed away though, I hope everyone else is fine and will stay strong Thanks. They were elderly so it was not unexpected, but it was still tough to see. The Hacienda and Decorator are still hung up in their home like they always have been. I will have the opportunity to take them when the house is cleaned out and will install them in the house I'm moving into around the first of the year. These fans are roughly the same age I am and I was always fascinated by them as a child, so I'm certainly going to take them. I will also install the Elegance and will make sure to post pictures. Hopefully it works. That's going to be several months down the road though. Hacienda wall switch: Attachment Deleted Decorator wall switch. This wall switch is actually set to four speeds: Attachment Deleted |

Good news! This NIB NuTone Elegance has been successfully installed. It's so cool to me that this thing sat in a box for all of these years, but now is installed and works as good as a brand new fan. It is extremely fast on both high and medium.
I also got the Hacienda and Decorator safely removed and transported to the house I'm moving into (which is where the Elegance is too). I will be mixing these fans in at my house with some nice new Hunters that I got from Menards. At my late relative's house, I replaced the Hacienda and Decorator with some decent Hunters that I got from Lowe's. Will post pics of all shortly.
