Those things must have been quite droopy after a few years. It blends into the room very nicely, it just fills the space a lot less than the St. Claire did leaving the ceiling looking a bit empty at first. I've come to like it a lot more over the last few weeks.
I love all the old brochures so much. It's a very appealing fan. If you assume it's style over substance then performance is fine, if you wqnted air movement over everything you'd have a 56" industrial fan so it's what you need I guess. Great video
@ yes very much so. It’s a shame they don’t still have a lot of the offerings that would still be trendy. Granted I’m stuck in the past as I hate this new modern look!
The universal remote @5:03 is interesting. I didn't know Hampton Bay ever offered anything like that, I'm surprised that wasn't a bigger hit within the ceiling fan industry. I've been plenty of places where people have lost/misplaced their fan remotes, but rarely have I heard of people losing their television remotes. I don't think I've ever looked through those early 00's Hampton Bay catalogs, they have some really nice staging.
I wonder if it never took off due to lack of awareness of it. I can't imagine that many people really looked through these catalogs, especially when all the fans are on display in person in the store.
I used to have three of these in my old house, one in the living room, practically fell off the ceiling, the light did and then the fan bc it wasnt on a fan rated box,and two more without the light in the upstairs loft
I still have the brass and antique vanilla models. The brass is still in the spare bedroom. Quite frankly I did have some theory that it would move more air in a larger setting. As it turns out my spare bedroom is 8x11 and air is present all throughout. It’s not a strong gust but it is doing something in that kind of room. Especially with it being flushmounted. The blades are pretty wide and they don’t have much space in between to move a lot of air. There are some other fans with the palm blades that are more effective in a way they move air. Some are stronger some others are not. The brass model retailed for $199 and the antique vanilla with the light retailed for $250. I have a 2006 Home Depot catalog and on the very first page shows one detail picture on the creation of the Antigua blade. And for the construction of the blades, my vanilla one its blades have some cracks and dings and are all just worn down.
$200 was a good bit of money back then, and considerably more than some of the other high-end fans sold there at the time. Special editions of the Cameron, which were probably the highest performing model, only sold for around $120. I suspect this would work just fine in a smaller room. I suppose my expectations were exaggerated because it's larger than 52", though the reality is an additional 2 inches per blade isn't much at all.
My old neighbor had two of these on her front porch. They are neat fans.
I think that looks great in that room personally.

Good fan video bro it looks really good in the living room can't wait to see what it looks like with the light on it i enjoyed the video
Thanks bro glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent choice of fan.
Thanks
This is a very nice fan I definitely like these older versions
Thanks for letting me know.

Me too. This one is definitely form over function, there's other 52" fans from Hampton Bay that blow this out of the water in terms of performance.
Beautiful flemish brass on this ceiling fan good video bro
Thanks
Yes 2003 was the introductory year. That was an excellent year for high quality Hampton Bay
Hampton Bay really seemed to carry quality through the 2000s, which is a bit later than a lot of other brands.

@@parkeringersoll973 I don't like this modern stuff any more than you do.

My neighbor has one in their house at my elementary era location. 2004-12. The later versions got weird with the curved blades. This I like best.

Did you make a video of you putting the light on?
Yes
My grandmother has one in her bedroom. It hums, but it doesn’t move much air, if any at all.
This one certainly moves air, it's just not impressive.
I'm surprised it doesn't move any more air than it does.
The performance was certainly less than I expected.
What day are you gona gat a light on it
I don't know.
What kind of fan are you gona put in the living room
This one.
Its carzy to think that its as old as i am
I'm much older than it.
My aunt has a really high one😊
Thanks for letting me know.
These big blades don’t do much with the motor. At least it’s better than a Baja from harbor breeze
It's not a motor issue, there's plenty of speed. It's an aerodynamics issue.
