That entire house was builder grade...I moved out in 2009 and in my parents next house, I filled it with a huge variety of high quality vintage fans...the difference is noticeable. Now I have my own house and almost everything is oil bath or stack motor
Well, Litex makes most of the fans for Harbor Breeze, some Harbor Breeze ceiling fans are made by Westinghouse like Vector Elite, and some are made by Heritage like Armitage.
My house in the town of Willis, TX will be getting 2 originals, a Brown/Brass one and an all brass one, both 52" If that house isn't ready to move in by the time we have to move out of this one and I move with my parents, then my Fasco Gulf Stream will be my new bedroom fan. Of course the A-52 will be coming along though :P The Hunters wobble and work on 1 speed only, the litex fans don't, that's why I say their better...
The litex fans, out of the ones filmed here, are the best performers in my opinion. I replaced my bedroom fan with a SMC A-52 and it's now the best CF in the house :P
I agree with the video description. In fact, it seems to be that way with most ceiling fans today. I so much like the ceiling fans built when I was a kid but even more so the antique fans. For the reason of the cheapness of most of today's ceiling fans, I bought a special model of the Hunter Original series (the best type of fan you can by today.) What's special about it is that this particular model is a replica of those ceiling fans of the 30's
Actually just the living room fan is Harbor Breeze, the fan that was in my room when I filmed this and my Parent's fan are Litex Sheffields and the other 2 are Hunters
Plus, another reason I bought it is because of the cheap motors found in most of today's ceiling fans, which is a poorly ventilated spinner motor, which because of poor ventilation, is prone to burn out more easily. This fan doesn't have the full-sized motor that the ones of the 30's had but it still has quality and like all Hunter Originals the motor is an oil bath. I couldn't find it where I live in Houston and the closest place for me to find it was "Texas Ceiling Fans" in Austin.
The model is called the "Hotel Original with Adapt Air." It replicates the model from the early to mid 1930's called the H-52 and has the patented "Adapt Air" blade adjustment system that originated on those fans. This allows the blades to change pitch for downdraft or updraft and can be selected for either 15 or 12 degrees down or updraft. This fan, because of its design I plan to take with me whereever I move because of its design and it may well be a collector's item.
Yeah, they probably are, a lot of the things in this house are cheap, local brands, and there's a lowes down the street :P They're actually okay, but in my old house I had Hunter Originals, so they've got a lot to live up to....
You've got a lot of fans in your house though. In my house we only have 4 ceiling fans and the only one in perfect conditions is the one on my parents' room but the best one is the one in the living room. It blows so hard at high speed that you can even fel it on the dinning room.
That one that only has one speed most likely was wired incorrectly. I'm going to assume that at some point someone pulled the chain out of the socket and replaced it, wiring it wrong. Tis same thing happened to me with one of my fans.
Just a typical builder fan. It could be a lot of things. When you show the speeds you have to let time to slow down, its not like a desk fan, ceiling fans are large and takes more time to stop and slow down from speeds to speeds. The one in the office is a Hunter Quiet Breeze II 52''. Its better quality than the one in you bedroom. But its NOT possible that it only have one speed, they always have 3-speed. The one in the living room is a Harbor Breeze Lakeside II 52''.

You have a big house! That living room ceiling fan is very nice!
Lol thanks :P
I do like the look of the living room fan, I'm glad the old white one (which I KNOW was there) was replaced with it
Actually just the living room fan is Harbor Breeze, the fan that was in my room when I filmed this and my Parent's fan are Litex Sheffields and the other 2 are Hunters

Those look like Harbor Breeze ceiling fans. The Lowes store brand.
Hi Zachary, I love ceiling fans,I had a video of all 6 fans in my house.
You've got a lot of fans in your house though. In my house we only have 4 ceiling fans and the only one in perfect conditions is the one on my parents' room but the best one is the one in the living room. It blows so hard at high speed that you can even fel it on the dinning room.
Actually the two you have as Quorum are Litex Sheffield builder grade fans
That one that only has one speed most likely was wired incorrectly. I'm going to assume that at some point someone pulled the chain out of the socket and replaced it, wiring it wrong. Tis same thing happened to me with one of my fans.
What did the original Lakesides look like?
I think the 6 bladed fan in your living room is a harbor breeze, look it up on the internet.
Your office fan which is NOT crappy may be a hunter quiet breeze
Just a typical builder fan. It could be a lot of things. When you show the speeds you have to let time to slow down, its not like a desk fan, ceiling fans are large and takes more time to stop and slow down from speeds to speeds.

The one in the living room is a Harbor Breeze Lakeside II 52''.
Well then it's broken cuz it only works on the one speed
As for my fan vs those, IDK, but my fan and my parent's fan don't wobble, those ones do
i used to have a similar one to the one in the living room.
the fan at 7:26 is a Harbor Breeze Lakeside II
Lakeside II
It looks nice but it is very cheaply built
first i thought it was a Canarm Piedmont but, no. It was a flush mount fan, but that one is a downrod
Why do you hate all 5 if those fans?
Zach, you NEED better fans.
