This is what I got..........................
While the average customer may not notice,, I noticed.. And HD Supply will certainly be getting an inquiry from me..

I was going to order the AB one, but I already have a few AB ones and 2 PB ones... sad that this is probably what I'd get...

JW had a similar experience with his Craftmade American Traditions when motor housing turned out to be same as Harbor Breeze Classic Style, while picture in the box showed older one.

Darn false advertising! Are you still keeping it? Yes,, its not what I was expecting but its a pretty good fan for $35 so I will keep it.. I am going to write in an email to HD Supply inquiring about the picture not looking like the fan.. I have a good feeling I know what their answer will be,, but its worth a try..
That stinks I like it still though. I'd like it more if it was Antique Brass but thats my opinion of every fan Indeed..
I like it too for what it is.. It was a good deal.. It may look good in AB,, I could also see it in white..
thats is called bait and switch there,so messed up there,your work admins must teamed up with that web site(admins at jordans work) I think a lot of websites have this problem.. Fortunately we have new management at work so its no longer an issue!
I was going to order the AB one, but I already have a few AB ones and 2 PB ones... sad that this is probably what I'd get... I'd buy another one of these if I needed a modern fan for something,, but I'd try to find it from somewhere else.. I don't like to be deceived!

It's one of the last "classic" fans you can buy today for under $100. It's a decent fan, the 52" Landmarks tend to be quieter than their 42" counterparts. Jordan, can you take a picture of the label on top of the motor if at all possible? I want to know if it's made by SMC like the current Landmarks, or by Air Cool, like they were for a short time (I have both versions of the Landmark). Even though it may be a "builder fan" to some degree, 5000+ CFM is still good for a fan of that type, and you can't beat the price! I just wish they still made GEV Landmarks, but at least you were skeptical before it arrived. I recently ordered an Air King box fan, but the picture online showed a thinner cabinet and cheaper construction, but it did end up being the full-sized cabinet version with higher-quality construction. But I was skeptical too. On another note, it's worth noting that HD Supply isn't even owned by Home Depot anymore, as they sold the company awhile back, and are two separate companies, although they still sell some of the same products Home Depot sells (this is what happens when a company separates, like Opel and Vauxhall recently separated from GM, but they'll still produce vehicles for Buick for a few more years). Most electrical supply warehouses just don't care to update their stock photos anymore, as they know their target customers, aka MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), or better known as "apartment complexes", just buy whatever and don't particularly care what they buy, but unfortunately, that doesn't fly with us, and they don't care.

BTW, if anyone's interested, here's the white version of the same fan, with an updated stock photo, basically a Litex builderfan with filigree on the side band (Litex fans are made by Air Cool, and so were the earlier 52" 5B Landmarks and 52" Landmark Pluses, which would explain the similarities this fan has to the Litex Ultimate Builder Fan and Craftmade Contractor's Choice fans: hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/seasons%C2%AE-52-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-white-p269340And here's all the "classic" HB models they "claim" to still sell: 42" Early 90s Landmark/South Wind (only comes in white): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-42-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-white-p26906152" Gazebo I (no light kit, only comes in white): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-52-dual-mount-indoor-outdoor-ceiling-fan-white-p269152Huntington III (they also make a 42" version of the same fan with 3 lights instead of 4, this one comes in white, white/PB, nickel, and PB): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-52-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-white-tulip-light-kit-p26925652" 5B GEV Landmark (Jordan's fan, NOT what you actually get, comes in white, AB, or PB): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-52-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-polished-brass-p269342I forget what this 42" thing was called back in the day, but you can almost see where they Photoshopped out the HB logo in the stock photo (available in white, white/PB, or PB): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-42-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-white-tulip-light-p26980042" Mid 90s 4B Landmark (90s Panama-vent version, complete with a modern-style bowl light kit, which you'll probably get exactly as pictured, comes only in white but I think used to come in PB and AB as well): hdsupplysolutions.com/shop/p/lighting-00-75/ceiling-fans-00-75-5/seasons%C2%AE-42-dual-mount-ceiling-fan-white-bowl-light-p269806They also sell 42" 4B and 52" 5B classic-styled huggers in PB, AB, or white, with schoolhouse, bullet-style, or no light kit... Again, except for the last one I listed, you probably won't get "exactly" what you ordered... oh well I guess...

There has actually been a lot of development on the story of this fan,, more to come later..
I want to know if it's made by SMC like the current Landmarks, or by Air Cool ... Even though it may be a "builder fan" to some degree, 5000+ CFM is still good for a fan of that type, and you can't beat the price! I recently ordered an Air King box fan, but the picture online showed a thinner cabinet and cheaper construction, but it did end up being the full-sized cabinet version with higher-quality construction. When I spoke with them on the telephone,, I was informed that it was made by Air Cool.. The performance is fantastic for the price! I think it would be nearly impossible to find a better deal in today's market..
I'm quite intrigued by this box fan.. Was it the one with the D blades? I've seen it around a few places but all the more recent reviews said it shows up as just a regular fan..

I've seen it around a few places but all the more recent reviews said it shows up as just a regular fan..Surprisingly, this "landmark" made by Air Cool looks like it's of better construction than the current landmark/landmark plus made by SMC. Also another interesting note: this air cool fan moves 5,628 CFM on high, which is pretty good for such an inexpensive fan...but, the newer SMC version only moves around 4,200 CFM. Which brings me into another topic: Jordan, if you have the time to do so, could I request that you make a video of the fan? It would be cool to see how it performs on camera, just for comparison's sake to other fans including the current landmark model.

Nope, the box fan I have has petal blades like the regular Laskos... but the cabinet is full-size so it's deep, so it moves A LOT of air.
