Out of the five fans in this house two are from Home Depot and there will never be anymore from Home Depot.

The only fan I'll ever buy again.

We have one of these, my mom has two - they are fantastic, they use two different CF bulbs, easy to change, remote with a thermostat, so, you can set the remote to 77 and it'll control the fan speed. The fan was designed by the Florida Solar Energy center: Gossamer Wind and they are extremely quiet even at high speed and they move a ton of air. They were designed by the guy that made the propellers for the Gossamer Penguin (human powered plane). If I had the time, I would replace the rest of our ceiling fans with them.

Regrettably, only sold at Home Depot.
