Fifteen degree ceiling slope requires unavailable downrod. Mine wobbled something fierce.
AS OF OCTOBER 2016.I've installed three Casablanca fans in the past couple months, and this is the only one that gave me any trouble.First of all, the supplied downrod will not fit a ceiling sloped steeper than 15 degrees. Mine is sloped 15 degrees and the tip of the fan blades were just 1" below the ceiling - too close - using the only included standard 3" downrod. I needed a 12" downrod to give another 9" of clearance. Casablanca part number 99335 is what you want for the "metallic chocolate" color, but knowing that won't do you any good because they're not available. Perhaps in November 2016, but who knows? I went ahead and ordered part number 99235, "acadia" colored, which matches well enough as long as you're not standing on a ladder to investigate. We pay more for Casablanca so we don't have these kinds of problems. So, for selling a fan with long blades and not supplying a matching downrod, not even after market let alone including it with the fan, I'm docking them one star.Second, the darn thing wobbled. A lot. Like it was going to bring the ceiling down. It's been a long time since any ceiling fan I installed had wobble problems. Like, not since the 1980's. I thought that was a problem of the past, and all modern quality ceiling fans "auto balanced". Nope. I spent three hours on a ladder balancing this thing. And it's a good thing I had a spare balancing kit from one of the other Casablanca fans I installed, because I needed two kits to get the balance fixed. If you're the kind of guy who can spend three hours on a ladder shifting tiny weights back and forth while using a stopwatch to time whether the wobbling started sooner or later than when the weight was 1/2" further up or down the blade, then you should have no problem. I'm that kind of guy: a mechanically inclined persistent perfectionist. To be sure, I probably just got a dud of a fan, and yours will probably be fine. But I have a rule that I review the product I got, not the product I would have gotten if I hadn't gotten unlucky. Docking another star.Now that it's all installed do I like it? Yeah, it's great. It's quiet, moves a lot of air, has a soft LED light, sports attractive "prairie style" design and a handy remote control. All goodness. Which is why I'm giving it three stars and not one.

This is a really nice, three-blade ceiling fan. I have not installed it yet because we are still in the process of building a house and it's not ready for the fan yet. But I opened the box and inspected the pieces; I have attached photos to show the blade color, the light fixture and the remote. The fan comes with two LED bulbs for the fixture. The bulbs are 3000K color (same as halogen). The light fixture generally shines downward, as the cage that surrounds the glass globe tends to block most of the light to the sides.
The fan can only be operated by the battery-powered remote, there is no wall switch included (although you can buy one if you want to hard-wire it). This fan is operated by a DC motor, which is more efficient (although not by a lot) and quieter than an AC motor. The DC motor is smaller and lighter than an AC motor and has more speed options.
A 2" and a 3" downrod are included, or you can also mount it flush to the ceiling. For severely sloped ceilings, you will need to buy a longer downrod.
7/26/18 Update: After about 18 months of use, the fan has become noisy. It sounds like the bearings are drying out, so it makes a slight grinding sound when running are speed 2 and faster. I wrote to Hunter Fans (who owns Casablanca) and they want me to bring it to a authorize repair shop - there is a lifetime warranty on the motor. But I don't really want to take it down from the ceiling... I think I will see if I can take it apart in place and oil the bearings.
