It's a very nice fan, works great.
I love it! It's very pretty, plus it keeps my bedroom very cool. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Not only does it add style to the room but it works!
I was a little surprised to see a personal name that the item was shipped from and that it was in two boxes. I was skeptical and thought that parts would be missing but it was easy to install and works perfectly.

No airflow
Looks great but serves no purpose. Will need to pay electrician 3 times. To install, remove, and replace. I tried everything. No downward airflow. Small room shouldn't be Such a problem.

Ejm,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please make sure the reverse switch is on the proper setting. From the ground, the blades should be turning counter clockwise to offer the best air movement.
    Good product at a very reasonable price.

    Tropical blades move less air than traditional blades so this may be what you are experiencing. If it is a problem, you can replace the blades with traditional accessory blades available at the Home Depot.

      At maximum rotation this fan produces very little air flow. I contacted the manufacturer and was informed they were aware of the problem..so why is this information not in the the product description? I am not happy! J. Spitzer

      Typically ceiling fans with tropical blades move less air than traditional fan blades. If you need more air movement then I suggest swapping the blades.

      I bought this fan for my study area, which has a combined space of approx. 20x14. The fan was not difficult to put together or hang. It is not bright white and the fan blades are plastic. It is very nice and quiet but runs slow even on high speed. I would not recommend this fan if you are looking to move a lot of air. For my purpose, however, it works very well and I am happy with it.

      These fans look great, but fall way short on the airflow department. I stood on a step stool right under the fan and cannot feel any air flow at all. I reversed directions...same result. Would not recommend these to anyone. Can I get my money back?

      I am sorry you are disappointed in the airflow. By nature tropical fans have a lower CFM (air movement) than standard blades. If you have had it for less than 30 days, the retailer should refund your money.

      This fan looks nice but doesn't provide any breeze. What a total waste. What good is a fan that doesn't give you a breeze? We needed 5, installed 1, will be taking them back. The directions are terrible too.

        Blades were made of plastic.. I didn't realize this on the purchase of this product. I am sure if plastic blades were included in the description of the product. If it wasn't it should be. When I returned the item to HD the associate told me this type of fan was normally used on a porch or outdoor space; where plastic would deteriorate less quickly.

        Cheryl, I am sorry that the fan is not what you were expecting. While not included in the product description, it does state ABS Plastic in the product specs for the blades.

        Does not seem to move much air. We installed two in our lanai, which is 12x21, you can barely feel a breeze. We have builder installed fan in living room, gives more air than two of these. Pretty but that's about it.

        I bought two and they are very quiet and give off the illusion of being actually bigger than they are. Also, they look better in person than in the online pic. Pleased with the purchase.

        Sahara fan review
        The fan is beautiful as others have said it is not lwhite but it does not look bad next to my white ceiling. This fan does not provide a lot of air flow as others have said. I hung it in my bedroom which is not a large room and very little air movement can be felt.

        To ensure that the fan is running in the correct direction, see the manual for proper switch alignment! This could be causing the inadequate air rotation. One direction is great for winter months, while the other is optimized for summer months.

          Product is okay, not super. If you have not hung a lot of ceiling fans then this one will be a problem for you as steps are left out and in the incorrect order. Once hung it wobbled a little and I had to adjust it somewhat and let it run in.

            Looks good but not much air flow! Sitting right under it, you barely feel any breeze. This product is just for looks.

            quality a disappointment
            I actually decided to return this fan prior to it being installed. When I opened the box I was disappointed to discover that the fan blades were plastic. I guess I expected wood or even metal. The blades were painted a dull brown that I couldn't justify putting in my room as it wouldn't beautify it. The price was reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for! I plan to buy a different Sahara fan that cost a bit more but is worth the price

            A great fan for indoor or outdoor use
            Unfortunately, this review will not help very many people because the white fan has been discontinued. It is a shame because it is a very attractive fan that blends into the ceiling in our living room and gives our Florida condo a tropical feel. We have the brown version on our lanai with the light kit and we really like it as well. If they br ing the white ones back I will get a couple more for the condo bedrooms.

            could use some improvements
            The fan's screws that attach the blades to motor were not long enough and tore into brackets. Installer said this was a problem.
