Hampton Bay Quick Connects are not "bad" per se, however they lack in performance and tend to display drooping blade brackets due to flimsy construction. Although I despise the redesigned Panama, it does use a reasonably sized motor which in turn produces a decent CFM rating. On the Quick Connects, I've never seen the irons bending.. It seems just the blades themselves that warp and bend real bad..

The blade arms don't bend as bad as the Huntington blade irons but its a combo of both!

Although I despise the redesigned Panama, it does use a reasonably sized motor which in turn produces a decent CFM rating. Have you ever felt a new Panama's airflow? All of the newer ones (Direct drive, K55-type motor, and DC motor) move more air than the outgoing Panama, which was already very good in that regard. Not a very elegant fan, but I like it a lot because these newer Panamas exude a "workhorse" Vibe, putting out INTENSE airflow but not being pretty; just a simple fan with high quality componentry and a powerful motor(s) that hauls. But the Emersons look better and are more refined, so I'd take that over these.
