That works! $35 is a little pricey but not too bad. What's the deal with that wire on the bottom? Looks like some hackery to me.

$35.00 is not too pricey for a K63 Blenderfan with metal blades, a bargain if you ask me. Switch on bottom? prob. just wined in line as s speed control or on / off. likely no big deal.

Many fans' design philosophy is based off of the blenderfan; case in point, the fanimation islander; the modern fan industry. Speaking of which, the islander looks really nice with traditional style blades (BPW10CY cherry 20" wingtip blades) as opposed to tropical ones. At a showroom one day, I powered on a traditional islander (stack motor version) and that thing can haul some ass (excuse the profanity); I am not certain if it was just me, but compared to the panama nearby (XLP) the islander moved slightly more air. However, the revolutions per minute were slower (I mean, 20* pitch versus the 15* of the panama). The industry also is a stellar performing fan as well. Did I mention the islander was 48", versus the 50" panama?

The blades on this one are fiberglass and the fan itself is 52". Blenderfans never had metal blades - the listing is mistaken.

I'd never heard of a metal blade blender before. True. Many fans' design philosophy is based off of the blenderfan; case in point, the fanimation islander; the modern fan industry. Speaking of which, the islander looks really nice with traditional style blades (BPW10CY cherry 20" wingtip blades) as opposed to tropical ones.

Did I mention the islander was 48", versus the 50" panama? I agree about the Islander with traditional blades, but I personally like the large cloth blades also. They're pretty good quality motors, similar in design. The Panama moves somewhere around 6,500 CFM (more or less) if I'm recalling correctly, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Fanimation Islander is as good if not slightly better. Switch on bottom? prob. just wined in line as s speed control or on / off. likely no big deal. Is the plug on the top original or was that an addition also?

The 50" panama moves 6,228 CFM. The islander with the composite wingtip blades (48") moved somewhere around 6,600 CFM. The FDK2100 is slightly more powerful than the XLP2000, and even though the panama spins faster, the islander has a 20* blade pitch (panama has 15*). And yes, blenderfans do, factually, have fiberglass blades, in contradiction with what the listing states.

They have sold on ebay before for about that much. Mark posted pics of this on the facabook group...... the cord comes directly out of the bottom of the switch cap, and controls speed. Almost looks factory. Fan looks great www.facebook.com/groups/ceilingfans/?fref=nf
