It's always about newer fans with you. You totally forgot the Zephyr.

Lolol Clay I was just joking around when I wrote this. I did not thought I needed to put a ;D to make you understand that I was saying this as a joke and that it would be a hard choice between the Panama and Ventura. Still I voted for the Ventura. ;D
Except for the early Zephyrs I usually prefer newer Casas; the versions with concealed hardware.
You know that what was done in the second half of the 20th Century is considered ''recent'' right?
Criticizing has nothing to do with being ignorant. It's actually the total opposite.
I did not know if you were older or younger than me. The age of the person does not have much to do here.

I like the Panamas. The panama was the worlds first five bladed fan and it goes in any room

Jean, I do apologize I flew off the handle quite a bit! I've had a very long week and shouldn't have gotten so fired up. Personally I am open to older Casablancas especially Delta II's certain Panama, and definitely the 1st generation Nassau. If I found a Zephyr I'd keep it but to me I prefer the other models because GE Vents just haven't been a big part of my life. The newer ones are always easier for me to get and I think they still are great. I am hesitant though on the Concentra.. I had one that was a (VersaTouch) remote one and absolutely hated the thing because it hummed and was so loud so sold it on Craigslist... So that is one newer Casa I am hesitant about. I gotta agree with you on the Panama and Ventura, I've tried purchasing a Ventura several times but I seem to always have bad luck when it comes to it. I'm always hesitant though on how they would look with a K4S since its such a wide light kit. Personally I prefer lightkit less fans but I need to have them since their the only lighting besides lamps in my home. Speaking of Venturas did you ever get the black one you were looking at from Value Brothers?  Yes this is what I thought too, that you had a bad time before. I've heard that Concentras are unusually loud in humming for what they are. I don't have an eBay account and anyway they were shipping only in the 48 States so Kelly got it for me but I still have not received it from him. I don't think he shipped it yet but yes I was about to write '' You are going to love the next fan I'm getting, it's an older stock but newer from the 2000s.'' It really sucks that the Ventura is not being made in polished brass pull chain anymore and that apparently they are on the verge to discontinue the whole Ventura line. They still show on the website but not their new catalog.  In some of the other newer fans I would like to get would be an antique brass (because the PB ones are TOO RARE) Hunter Bayport which apparently just got discontinued too.  |

Concentra is a nice fan, but of course more prone to humming since there's no isolation on the flywheel.
I vote Ventura. Less conventional than the Deltas or Panamas and just so dang cute with 17" blades.

I'm guessing they haven't updated the website part yet.. I was told from Casablanca Antique Brass was being discontinued for 2012 but then the catalog shows its the whole line/series. I have three Hunter Bayports in Antique Brass. They are terrific fans! They are a little louder than your traditional Hunter on Low but they move a TON of air on High! I never saw a Polished Brass one in person, but they'd be pretty cool I think! Wow three antique brass Hunters Bayports! I remember I saw a Christmas picture of your dining room with a Bayport with light kit. Are you using the two other ones? Where did you get them? |

Two are in use and one is in its box. I got two from CPO Hunter and one off of ebay. Would you be interested in one? Yes I would definitely be interested in one especially considering that they are now discontinued. Maybe not right now though as I probably won't have the funds for it. |
