Very nice fan and how much did it cost you?

I thank you for clearing the flywheel debate, happy to hear from someone who's see one. I think it should've been pretty clear they had to have made at least some change to the flywheel, considering they went from what was traditional 'American' spacing to the standard Hunter spacing for mounting the blade arms.

It's day two of #CASABLANCAWEEK. Today it's the 52" Tribeca in aged steel. Again, the challenge to tell me something about it that you can tolerate is on! I've wanted this model pretty much since Hunter first introduced it, and aside from the obvious little aesthetic things, it's really remained much the same. Still has the Airmax motor, and performs well. Of course the added fourth speed is to die for, I absolutely love the aesthetic low on this one. As I say in the video intro, I actually like a lot of what Casablanca has done with the model. Adding a smaller size was smart, and the new industrial-inspired finishes are very fitting. Loved the aged steel on my Duluth, it's gorgeous on this fan as well. I also really like this blade shape that they implemented on the 52" fans a whole lot more than the original shape, feels much more streamlined. The distressed wood finishes on the blades are really stunning, Casablanca has played into that trend a lot recently and has pulled it off very well. Actually, I'm very impressed with this one. If you can't quite splurge on a Duluth, this is a super nice second option.

Love this fan ! 4th speed looks very great too, but the third one seemed a bite too fast..

I LOVE the exposed AirMax (it may not be called AirMax, but it IS one) motor! I've always loved the Tribeca!

Is it bizarre that I actually appreciate the new switch housing and canopy on this fan Once again, an excellent critique Cole.

It's not, on this model I kind of get Le Grande vibes from the new switch housing, and I think it kinda works for it. The canopy is fitting for the motor housing shape, I think I'd like the shape that's on the Orchid better on this though.

Here we are at the final fan for #CASABLANCAWEEK. It's the original Stealth DC in alpha bronze, so there's a little bit less for you to hate lol. Wasn't sure exactly what I was getting on this one, I was surprised to find Hang-Tru when I opened it, but pleasantly so. I really feel this is the perfect kind of fan for DC motor application, due to the sheer weight of the blade arms. Since most DC products are very similar, there wasn't too much surprising about this one. As usual my main issue is with the speeds, low is too fast and some of the higher speeds are just way too similar. Other than that though, I'm really enthused about it as a performer. The new ones of course look a little different, but I think this one can vouch for them as pretty great units as well.

Oh wow, that finish is certainly different. Not sure if I like it or not, actually lol. The blades and hangtrue is a big plus for me, and the glass not being the traditional white color would be the only thing I would change. Otherwise I like how they are keeping models like this alive!

I've had a couple comments on the glass. I can't say I like how it looks in the picture, but I like it in person. The white glass looks wrong paired with bronzier finishes IMO, this kind of tea-stained glass suits them well. I can say that honestly because my weathered copper Stealth has white glass instead of the tea-stained glass that would traditionally be seen on it, and while I love that fan, I wish it had the other glass.

I believe the bronze Stealths have amber toned glass, but every other finish Stealth has white painted glass. I guess with the white painted glass you could put a bulb that gives more a yellow tint than a white tint and get a more yellowish glow.

Contrary to what others have said, I actually love the amber-tone globe. Oh, and that Hang-Tru canopy is an excellent touch

Contrary to what others have said, I actually love the amber-tone globe. I like the looks of it as well on this particular fan,, but I can't imagine its light output is that good..

I dont hate amber-tone. It adds a "warm" glow to a room... the Hang-True is nice, though I'm actually happy that they're moving away from it because it was a real pain to hang one, especially in an unfinished basement on an exposed octagon box.
