They never skipped 2009, I've got a catalog. I've got none of the CF's in that catalog except for the Westminster, but in Brushed Nickel.

The offerings in here seem to be at least 10 times better than most of Home Depots current lineup which has been drastically cut it seems. (hopefully in November, we elect new people and the economy moving so our companies stop cutting and we get more fans ;D ) but one thing is whenever your in Lowes ALWAYS check the fan section. When they change stuff they sell the display models DIRT CHEAP. I bought a Freeport a few months ago for $15 originally $119 and sold it on ebay for way more than I bought it, you CAN make a profit if you sell it on ebay with these things. The Freeport was the same motor as the Elevation but AB and had palm blades, the fan was Heavy Duty for a Harbor Breeze the blade irons were very strong and well built. On a side note on the Elevation I'm surprised to see its only $69 on Lowes.com being its one of those home buyers "design" type fans (IMO) I figured it'd be around the $100 mark. No.... Lowes has significantly cut 70% of their Harbor Breeze models. The Home Depot still have plenty. (See my previous thread about it). I hate to talk about Politics but in order to make my point I need to talk about it. Is not about who we elect that desides the outcome of the economy. This mess was already bad when President Obama took office. Bush decided to give away money to the rich left and right during his presidency like it was a Hip hop video. The thing is, corporate America has the tradition to "hold hostage" the government with their old "We can't create new jobs because our taxes are too high." excuse in order to get away with paying less than their fair share. The Republicans have an extensive track record of giving extraordinary tax cuts and financial benefits to the rich. Why do you think all corporate donations are made only to the Republican party? because they all know the Republicans will take good care of them when they are in office. Corporations like The Home Depot and Lowes have massive amounts of money saved from the "good" years which they can still use it to create or keep jobs and still be profitable. But no, they have to be money hungry and always want more. In return, the people don't blame these greedy corporations for their corrupt and selfish decisions but whoever is in public office. If you're in business like The Home Depot and Lowes and all the others what good does it do to make say $32 Billion a year and use less than 20% for yearly operations including minimum wage salaries, inferior healthcare, maintenance and low quality merchandise purchase and keep the rest on some Swiss bank account? Changes do not occur over night. You cannot turn a mess like the one Bush left in this country overnight. That's impossible. And without the cooperation of corporation is gonna take even longer. |

It's a good price taking in consideration long bendable blades are no longer in style and with a 172 X 20mm motor the fan is gonna be useless within months. |

I went to Lowe's the other day and the Armory is being discounted for $12.99, and the Breezeway is gone. Shame. Hunter even added to the crappiness of their fans at Lowe's by adding the crappy Dust Armor Technology to all of the fans. I think I'll go to lighting showrooms to buy my ceiling fans from now on.

I see they redid the Springfield model. I like those shades with those blades and that finish compared to what I currently own. Oh well. The motor hasn't failed me yet, probably will if my parents use it over the next five years- if they don't, there's no telling how long that motor will really last. The blades I freakin' hate to the death though. You could touch the tip of the blade with a pencil and they flex.

Wow, that factory "weathered" Hunter is BAD. Looks really stupid with all the fake discoloration and the messy blades (this is the one above the Elevation page, and below the Waldon, I can't get the bottom of the page to load so I don't know the model)
LOL @ the Elevation! The blades already sag so you don't have to worry about that for the future. Only Emerson can pull of those sagging blades IMO, and even then they don't look that great.
Wow, did they really go back to screws on the light kit of the Westminster? I figured they'd stick with those stupid triangle base ones that click in and limit your options with that stupid base.

I don't see why companies think art sells over function. I mean, if I wanted actual art hanging from my ceiling, I'd buy a chandelier and some 1600-era art paintings (Renaissance anyone?), not a crappy ceiling fan. And I hate anything from Disney on a ceiling fan. GAG.
By the way, the Harbor Breeze Tri Star is the kind of fan that my Dad's friend had in his house back in July. I mentioned it before, but I couldn't remember the brand name. I hate anything that looks like a blender blade.
Cole, Harbor Breeze/Litex is notorious (as are some other manufacturers I'd imagine) for using shades that use a polycarbonate thumbscrew to hold in the shades- at least on their open ended 3-4 bulb light kits. As for Hunter on the other hand…I think that's a mixed bag

I like them too Austin,
@ Cole, the westminster seems to have evolved per finish,
The Bronze stayed normal Hunter typical Hunter Hands Free Canopy and normal Hunter with Grommits and all.
The Brushed Nickel got the Five Minute Fan blade arms and the AVT Hanger system
The white seems to have gone into a transition into what your fan is like and then all three were made into the modern triangular GE Vent Five minute fan type these new ones suck.
