The industrial install is really cool, although I could see how someone would say its a bit dangerous.. Shortening the downrod would have been a much better solution.. There is actually a section in my Canadian Electrical Code Simplified book which explains the proper clearances for such an installation. It is possible that a shorter downrod might not have made this situation safe or Code compliant... 5th, yet another Canarm Breeze, this one from 1989 The fan can only be installed flushmount. These are quite decent. Was it actually labeled Canarm if I may ask? Although Jon might not have worked with these particular fans, he is not incorrect regarding their quality (or lack thereof). After all, why defend garbage?

It's mostly useless to judge fans by their quality nowadays.
The principle stays to not judge by the appearance especially what is unknown to us.
Also why always pointing the negative first?

But he's right. Point me a decent fan on that display. I will never buy again a Canarm, I'm desapointed by the ones I have at home.

I don't know what else it could be True enough, as these were most commonly labeled as Canarm. It's mostly useless to judge fans by their quality nowadays. I take it that was a joke... The principle stays to not judge by the appearance especially what is unknown to us. Albeit true, I have worked with a number of fans shown on that display. From my experience, ever single one of those has displayed poor quality and performance. How many have you worked with? Also, if I may ask, what is with all the criticism and drama towards the Hampton Bay fans I occasionally share? Those are far better than most current Canarm models. Regardless, at the end of the day, can we all just take a deep breath and relax Would it be possible that a longer downrod might have made this situation safe or Code compliant? Quite possibly, depending upon the length and how low the fan would hang as a result.

That's why I don't understand why people still bother criticizing the quality of fans sold in home centers. Today I criticize them by their appearance. The ones that look better to me are the Westinghouse City Lights II and the Industrial.

Max, no that isn't a joke. Not for fans sold in home centers.

I know what you're talking about, I had a lot of newer-cheaper fans and I'm disapointed everytime. At the restore, when someone asks me what fan he should bought, I end up showing him the oldest fan, because it's a quality product, and he'll be happy with it.

I don't understand why people still bother criticizing the quality of fans sold in home centers. Today I criticize them by their appearance. The ones that look better to me are the Westinghouse City Lights II and the Industrial. Personally, I analyze the quality of any and every ceiling fan regardless of where it is sold. Appearance is how many non-fan collectors judge fans, and therefore I make a valiant effort to avoid making this a primary category. Saying that "home center fans are junk" is actually quite presumptuous. Indeed, Rona might have some rather dismal offerings, however it is not the only store of it's type in existence. Home Depot does sell several decent (even what I would consider to be lighting showroom-grade) models, for example...

Home Depot does sell several decent (even what I would consider to be lighting showroom-grade) models, for example... I'm into older fans so for me most of newer fans are uninteresting in both looks and quality. The good old quality of pre 1990's fans is mostly gone, especially in home centers, so for some of the few newer fans I'm interested in, it's rarely for it's quality. The Coca-Cola fan is a good example.
