I normally don't like spinner type fans but for some strange reason this thing has captivated my interest. Your thoughts.  |

I love spinners but I don't see what's so special about this one. It's not a new design. Theses style of fans are very common in Australia. I like it, it's a classic style but I don't like theses oyster light kits.

It's defiantly from Australia as Jean said.. The side of the motor looks alot like a Golden Fan.. But I agree, I don't see whats more special about this fan..

I see these a lot on websites from the UK and Australia. They're cool-looking, wish they'd bring them here to the States to work in 120V AC form.

The blades are skinnier than the canopy, perhaps even the lower canopy, and the light kit looks straight out of the 50's or 60's. So as this particular fan goes, NOPE.
HOWEVER--
There were some wall controlled spinners that came out in the mid-80's that looked almost exactly like this but with full-sized blades. I think Payless Cashways sold them. I remember seeing two installed in a shop in the mall and the controls looked exactly the same as the DEMC's someone posted recently (not sure what they were labeled). If they made the above fan with decent sized blades, with either a different or no light kit, it might grab my attention.

I do like that fan, but I think it would be better quality if it had wider blades rather than those Heritage-thin ones it's pictured with...
I like that kind of light fixture in general, but not on a switch housing-less fan...

I think what captivates me is the finish. I rarely see any Spinner in solid Polished Brass without some sort of housing under much less with cane-inserted blades.
