it's a sad day. Thanks to Josh's fan dealer neighbor for these screenshots. I knew that was gonna happen. Tbh casa still makes really high quality fans that put out a hell of a lot of air (believe me, seen a ton of the new ones in action), but their fans are not as good as they used to be. Don't get me wrong they don't make crap, but they do not want the stack motors in their lineup. The two companies that will keep the stack motors living are Emerson (K55/K55XL) and Fanimation (FDK2100). Why? Because these motors are powerful, and are efficient enough that they stay in the lineup. Not sad about this cuz I expected it anyway (and I like the crowns, cornerstones, and Americans of the world xD). Pics of those coming later for those who don't know what I'm talking about. And a lot of people criticize the way they look, but they do not look as bad as the depictions of them online. Nevertheless, they still are pretty ugly in real life. Emersons and Fanimation are the best looking and performing fans on the market. |

A sad end of this era, but it is no surprise.. Traditional style fans are disappearing from the market every day

Both have been "discontinued" practically a dozen times over the past year then come back. I'm sure they've been discontinued the entire time, but it's just been an interesting saga since it appears that they have no idea what they're doing with these two models.

What a shame... seems everyone's moving towards DC motors nowadays... and while the DC motors are good, I still am sad about the downfall of the stack motor (I own both a 2011 XLP Casablanca Panama II IT3 and a 2011 Emerson Midway DC ECO so I can compare a stack motor to a DC motor, and the DC motor moves as much, if not more, air, and is about as quiet, if not quieter, than a stack motor fan. At least we still have the Panama XLP and the Fanimation offerings with the FDK2100 (Islander, Americana, and Bourbon Street), and Emerson's K55XL offerings (Crown Select, Premium Select, South Towne, etc).

Even for the genuine Casablanca Panama is seems like there was hesitations for a while on if it was discontinued or not but now since a few months they are no more stocks left of any Casablanca Panama with XLP-2000 motors.

The new Panama XLP....However, to brighten your guys's demeanors, Fanimation and Emerson's stack motors will live on as their high performance series offerings, alongside the DC motors that they have. These two brands have no intention of going mainstream industry like all others, but actually prize their uniqueness and quality. Hunter is in the game as a mainstream profit-maker, not a higher end offering. Casablanca is the higher end hunter "at least it's what casa refers themselves as), and are moving away from stack motors. Yes, epa regulations have gotten more stringent, but casablanca's motors have always consumed more energy than, say, Emerson motors. They are like the vehicle that never got good gas milage. Whereas most K55s and, better yet, K55XLs, use about 95-100 watts on high, Casa XLP2000s usually use about 110-115 watts on high. And the Emersons typically move a little more air than the casas. And most of their 188s use about 85-90 watts where most use around 70-75. However, the more cfm a fan moves, the more efficient it is, cuz it saves you money on your AC bill;you use it less |

Which information? I'm just going off EPA readings here so yeah :/. But then again you would know what is wrong in this picture because you usually test the ampage and wattage of the fans you receive. |

Welp poo. I think they are announcing that they are going to be discontinued. But I bet the assembly lines for these fans are still up and running. They are just clueless, wouldn't be surprised if glue huffing was big over at the Hunter Fan Company.
