So, as some of you know, the Harbor Breeze POS dust collector abomination in my bedroom stopped working after a LIFETIME of flawless function...as in 10 years. So, I replaced it. Firstly, I want to thank Jared for pointing out that Verde San Marino to me. But, I couldn't jump on it because my situation is such that my mom and I won't be living in our current quarters for much longer, but whenever the GLORIOUS day comes when we move out, most everything that isn't necessities or expensive furniture stays put...and that includes the ceiling fans. Also, my mom insisted that I buy something that is A. New, B. Under $200, and C. Something that I can leave behind with no problems. And the best I could find for that criteria is the Supra. I just got the package today, and as soon as I found it at the door, I threw it up in my bedroom. Pics (review coming later):

Looks good! Where did you buy it from? The Supra is one of the better "budget buys" out there when it comes to fans. Good air movement and good looks, and since they come in 3 different sizes, you can coordinate the same model throughout your whole house.

Beforehand, I got as much hands-on experience as I could with anything that was priced under $200, because the cool guys at FanDiego know who I am and let me get good looks at this stuff; the last two times I came in, they let me unbox a couple of products there (they know that if I mess with anytning, I'm putting it back the way it was lol). More info regarding the fan when I make a full review of it.

It looks nice for something soft contemporary minus the brackets.

The Supra is probably one of the best spinner motor fans on the market today. Perfect choice! (Were the ones in my house an influence on your decision?)
My house actually has only one left and it will need to eventually be replaced. I really regret leaving the one from my bedroom behind in our old house.
Are you planning on installing a light kit?

The ones in your house were a small influence on my decision. What's wrong with the one in your house? And you definitely should've taken the unit from your previous house with you. No, I am not going to install a light kit.

No, I am not going to install a light kit. The one I left behind in the previous house was my original bedroom fan in this house. I wanted to move my Casablanca Delta I into this house and I figured I could save money by leaving the Supra behind in the Delta's place. I should've just bought a Harbor Breeze Armitage to go in there. The only remaining Supra is the one in the laundry room and it needs to be replaced because it hangs too low and hits one of the cabinets when it's opened. It can't be flushmounted, so I'd like to find something vintage to install in its place, preferably an LCA Casablanca.

Wow, I'm really impressed, the blade pitch seems to be deeper than almost any other new ceiling fan.

Wow, I'm really impressed, the blade pitch seems to be deeper than almost any other new ceiling fan. The pitch is 14°. Not as steep as the Paramount XP's 16° blade pitch, but still good pitch. Did you find that in the review for this fan (I know it's long)? If you haven't checked it out, Matt, I recommend that you do. It will help you decide what you are going to replace your Carousel in your bedroom with.

It can't be flushmounted, so I'd like to find something vintage to install in its place, preferably an LCA Casablanca. Or a Farmington/Classic Style/whatnot. Those at least do something as far as air movement goes, and they are only about $40-50. Minka sells flushmount adapters if I am not mistaken, which would allow you to flushmount your Supra. But, I do understand that it is too big. But if I were you, I'd keep the Supra and replace your Sinclair with it in your bedroom for the time being until your Delta is fixed, and put the Sinclair where your Supra was until you find something you want to replace it with; it is 2" smaller after all lol. One question: was the Supra you left behind a 44" like the one you have now, or was it 32" or 52"?
