So I was just at Lowe's today and found that they redesigned the 42" Harbor Breeze Armitage. It was hanging on their display, it looks cleaner and nicer than the old 42" Armitage. Here's what's different about it:
*Motor housing has regular hugger vents instead of the rectangular ones. It also has more of a curve to it.
*Pull chains are now the new Harbor Breeze "teardrop-style" ones with labeled "Light" and "Fan" ones.
*The blade arms are triangular.
*The light is now a mushroom globe
The price of the fan is $24.98. It was listed for $99.99 on Lowes's website when it first came out, along with the old Armitage, which is still listed on Lowes's website. The $99.99 was an accidental typing error. The manufacturer is no longer Litex. It is some Chinese manufacturer. I think the new Armitage would look cool in other finishes like Brushed Nickel and Oil-Rubbed Bronze. I almost bought one, but I held back. I'll let you know if I get one. I have a picture of the fan's box to upload later.
