I practically stole this thing off eBay last weekend. I put in a bid KNOWING I would be outbid by the end, but it never even went up to my first maximum price. Just goes to show where the market's at right now... It's my first ComfortTouch fan, I love the system though it's a bid dodgy sometimes, especially with reverse. I'm glad I got it cheap though, the idiot who packed it nearly killed it by tossing everything in the bottom and throwing a few styrofoam blocks on top, essentially doing nothing to secure anything. Had it been any other fan than the Stealth (i.e. a fan with a switch housing) it would've been a total loss. Since the Stealth is flat on the bottom without the globe it rode alright but not without damage. Installed you can't see most of it, but I'll show you the damages individually. Despite it all though, I love it, looks so EPIC in black.
ComfortTouch
Two blade tips are badly scratched, the blades were all wrapped together with nothing between them. I'll end up repainting all the tips but that's not too bad considering the ride this thing had.
The motor rode on the box the whole way, there were dents in the box where you could tell it slammed down a few times. If you look at the top near the glass you can see the finish is worn and no longer really glossy, it's like this around that entire area of the blade arms from riding on the bottom of the box. Amazingly the bearings and flywheel are still flawless.
This is what I got when I took the globe out. How that seller ever thought glass would arrive safely in a package like that I'll never know. I've made the proper complaints, but I'm not going to do any suits or returns because I don't feel it's worth it when I like the fan and have potential to fix it. The globe/fitter you see installed above are the ones from my white Stealth, I transferred them for the time being until I can purchase a new set (which I don't have money for right now).
