I am a great fan of ceilings, without them there would be no second floor, they also provide an ideal place for light fixings.

Home Depot and Lowes sell really nice ones for under 50 bucks.
I bought one for about 39 bucks that is very quiet (you can't hear it) and looks decent enough.

Not sure if you can buy this brand in the US (I'm from Canada), but we have 2 ceiling fans and both are Hamilton Beach. Very nice and quiet too.

I have had good luck with Hunter ceiling fans.....

I never see the point in them. (we don't have them here of course) they are massive and mostly ugly, cost a fortune, waste electricity and when it's hot they just move warm air around a bit.

Air con.

Where Mach lives it is lovely and cool, even in the Summer.....she probably does not need air-conditioning...a fan would be enough.....

REDFEATHERS said:

Add some mirrors to it...or maybe a few hooks here and there, and you'll love ceilings.




Not that I've ever done that, but I'm just sayin'.

I like ceiling fans, they are fun to throw newspapers and magazines at.

I bought a very cheap one from Home Depot, too, and it works just fine & isn't too noisy or ugly. I had a light fixture already, so installing it was easy. But it was on a dimmer which wasn't working right. Had to put in a regular switch.

We shopped for a long time and found they were all a bit tacky looking (even expensive ones), so we went cheap just to see if we'd like it. We do.

I think mine is Hampton Bay.

i only paid $50 for mine and so far it's been very quiet
there was a tiny gap between the fan and the ceiling so i got a medallion
and i really like the way it looks... will get a matching one for the other fixture when i replace it too.



i am still looking for the right one for the bedroom. it has to have the shorter blades and be a ceiling hugger style with a simple light fixture.

whe I bought my first house some trailer trash had went through and put ceiling fans in every room of the house.

Of course I took them all down and replaced them with appropriate lighting for the era of the house.

Know what's funny? Someone who says "had went" calling anyone else trailer trash.

Get a HUNTER if you can afford it.
They are quiet and will REMAIN quiet for the life of the unit!

I have this one right over the bed;

...and it's perfectly quiet.

Thanx everyone

I have one but it is very noisy! don't get that one

Mine is really ugly. One of my roommates tugged on the cord to turn the light on and now it's stuck. I haven't been able to turn that light on (it's in the dining room) for 2 years.
