Update #1: Family room.
So the Hampton Bay Sauterne that was in the family room is currently M.I.A due to its faulty capacitor/reverse module; it too got stuck in the wrong direction. No matter though; it was only there until I was able to find something more adequate for the size room the fan was in, and I'm gonna fix it anyway, because my mom likes it. Anyway, one day I was browsing the interwebs for God knows what (notably Amazon), and I saw an advertisement for a 60" ceiling fan for $99. Lo and behold, the advertisement was for new old stock of the older version of the 60" Fanimation Edgewood, in the particularly unique "tortoise shell" finish. I was like "that's perfect!", and I bought it. Four days later, it arrived, and just yesterday I threw it up in my family room. Aaaaaand here it is:
So what can I say? First of all, it's about 30 pounds, easy, but most all of its weight comes from the motor, which is 212×25mm...or in simpler terms, HUGE. The fan is built solidly out of heavy-gauge stamped steel, and is around on par with my Supra in terms of build quality, but it's obviously heavier; no complaints at all there. The blades are 5-ply plywood, and at first glance, they are WIDE. The brackets are pitched at 14°, which is good, and also brings me to another point: the newer version of this fan has rectangular blade irons instead of the diamond-shaped ones here, and they are pitched at 16°, and the newer Edgewood also has a thicker 1" diameter down for instead of this 1/2" one. Now onto what really matters: performance. This fan's RPM range is something like 75 (low), 115 (medium), and 170 (high), which is more like most 52" fans nowadays...but this is a 60" fan with WIDE blades at a good pitch, and it moves a ton of air. However, I have to say that the 16° pitch of the newer Edgewood gives it better performance than this one (the new Edgewood HAULS ASS), but this thing already performs exceptionally. CFM? I'd say somewhere around 8,000 on this thing. Overall, this thing looks good, is built well, and performs like a champ...$100 spent well.
