Gazelle 52 in. LED Indoor/Outdoor Natural Iron Ceiling Fan with Light Kit

While installing the paddle brackets I noticed a silver piece of metal that had fallen into the bottom of one of the motor housing vents. It ended up being a loose screw from somewhere inside the housing. I called the help line to have a new motor sent to me to replace this one, but they do not replace the motors. They told me to return the entire unit for a refund and order another fan on-line. So that was an entire waste of a day, working through poor instructions to install an inferior product, just to end up returning it. I will not be ordering this model again or any other fan by the Home Decorators collection. However, the help line people were very nice and understanding about my disappointment and frustration.

The fan itself was pretty easy to assemble and it looks nice in the room. However, the remote control doesnt work properly. The buttons only work sometimes and you have to press them multiple times to get them to respond which is incredibly frustrating. The lights will sometimes blink instead of dimming and I had to replace the lightbulbs that came in the box because they heated up (which LED bulbs shouldn't do). Also, I used the search feature on the website "remote control included" because I wanted one that was specific to the fan I purchased. I didnt realize that using that search feature would give me results that included a universal remote. If I would have known that the remote control was something that had to be installed separately I wouldn't have purchased this particular fan. I am very unhappy with this purchase and I would not recommend this item to others.

Product specs list this fan as rated for wet locations, but there's a big gap around the top canopy. We'll see how long this lasts, I can only imagine what rain and insects getting in there will do over time.

Recommending following the directions made it easy to install with basic tools. The ceiling fan is quiet, even when on high speed. The large blades easily put off a good breeze. The lighting is also just right not too bright, not too dim. The blended wood colors made it easy to match our kitchen table and cabinets well. This is our first product made by Gazelle and would recommend it.

I love this fan; it looks pretty nice, and very very quiet. I believe it has been made of durable materials. The engineering design is great, and that makes the assembly and installation very easy; it took about 30 minutes to install. The installation instructions were good, but I took a deviation at the installing of the brackets for the blades. It was instructed to hang the motor and then install the bracket. But I installed the brackets before hanging the fan, since that was easier for me, which eliminates the strain on the neck. After that I did the quick connect blades; that was fantastic. Everything looks great except that the pull down switch chain for light and fan were too short.That was the only flaw. It could have been eliminated if the engineering designers had thought about it at the customer's view point.(spending a few more pennies for the longer chain could have made the customer more happier) Over all I give a five star; most appreciated part is the engineering design.

No broken pieces, Easy installation, Quiet operation, Great area lighting. Installation was straightforward and very easy. I really like that the blades snap into position. I also love that the lamp shades are plastic & not glass, you would not be able to tell just by looking at it. This fan is fantastic!

The Gazelle is the Home Decorators Collection: is a very pretty 52 in. indoor/outdoor ceiling fan. You can install it inside, or outside; as you wish. In the event you are installing it outside, it is designed to enhance your outdoor living space while being strong enough to withstand the elements. The matte white finish is paired with matte white ABS blades to blend in with the ceiling and keep the focus on your decor. The twist-lock shatter-resistant plastic light shades install quickly and are held securely in place with a simple twist - no more screws. Installation is quick and easy; just under an hour.The Quick Install blades is a new idea. This fan has 3 speed reversible motor, Frosted white twist-lock shatter-resistant plastic light shades, 5 ABS blades in matte white finish, Three 14-Watt CFLs. It is very pretty and quiet; for the proof, please see my short video and the pictures.

I originally intended to use this fan outdoors, but I ended up using it indoors. Its very sturdy and I have no doubt it would have performed well outside. Those plastic blades shouldn't sag at all after a few months outdoors. Installation was simple, with the worst part being attaching the blade arms to the motor hub. I recommend leaving at least one of the rubber stoppers in place to keep the hub from rotating too much when finessing the arms into place. The instructions seemed adequate enough for even a beginner to install the fan on their own. Fan operation is quiet, even at higher speeds, and light output from the included CFL bulbs is excellent. My only gripe with the fan is aesthetic and minor in nature: there's no surround for the top cap to hide the screws, which are shiny and stand out against the dark finish.

This fan is perfect for a three season room or outdoor porch, but it is a little too durable looking for inside rooms. The shades are made from a white plastic (definitely unbreakable!) but they do not diffuse light as well as glass shades. The fan blades are made from plastic, which is great if the fan gets some rain/humidity. The motor housing looks to be designed to withstand a hurricane...which might be perfect in some locations. However, in my living room I think it is just a little bit out of place. From a distance it looks amazing and does produce a LOT of light with three normal sized light bulbs. But up close you can definitely tell the shades are plastic. I would highly recommend it for outside applications, it's hard to find a unit this nice for outdoor spaces.

I have a few fans that I bought from Home Depot around the house and have been extremely pleased with them. So when I had to chance to try this outdoor 52" Gazelle with three lights I was looking forward to it. I had a old fan on my patio and this was a great replacement and upgrade. First it's a great looking fan in dark iron finish, perfect for my outdoor space, and it's got three down lights which is a lot of light for my patio, much better than the fan I replaced. The build quality is great and just about everything that I needed was included, including the energy saving light bulbs, which saved me $6 or $7. I did need to use a longer 2 foot extension rod because of the ceiling height but I picked that up from the store. The installation was super easy. I connected all the hardware and rod according to the instructions and was able to hang the fan from the bracket to connect the wiring. After that, the paddles have a neat connection where they snap on to the brackets, much easier that some other ones I've installed. It literally took me a minute to attach all five of them. Then I attached the shades from the light which also have a neat twist connection with no screws. NOTE the shades are plastic but actually looked really good. I couldn't tell they were plastic, and they looked great when the lights were on. After installing the bulbs and turning the power back on, I was ready to crank it up. It started on high speed and ran like a charm. The air was great and it was very smooth and quiet. Overall, the install took me about 30 minutes, including taking the old fan down. In summary, this is a great fan for outdoors (and I suppose it would look nice inside as well). It gives lot of air and light and was simple to install.
