The light in our old one, installed before we bought the house ten years
ago, no longer works. The whole unit has rattled like crazy at high speed
for the whole ten years, too.
My husband actually knows how to install one! He has installed three
others in the house.
My question is, what are the factors I should consider when buying one?
We plan to pick one up later today or tomorrow. They seem pretty cheap,
so we could actually get a pretty nice one if there is a reason to spring
for one of the better models.
Whatever you do, buy a decent one!
I'll tell you what happened to us, buying a cheap one.
It's the one, which is over the bed. My wife was making the bed, a blade
broke off, and whacked her in the forehead. Apparently, this happened about
9 A.M. I was at work, she is supposed to go to work @ 3 in the afternoon. I
got a call on my cell @ about 4, wondering if something was wrong with her,
work couldn't locate her. I tried and tried to reach her on the home phone,
and on her cell phone. I then frantically called 911. I rushed home, and
was greeted by the police dept, the fire department, and the EMS. The
entire road was blocked off, and they let me through the barricades.
Anyways, my wife was unconscious, they took her to the hospital, where she
spent 9 days. In the mean time, the dogs hadn't been let out, and they went
in the house. When my wife fell from being hit in the head, she knocked
over a lamp, which was on, and it burnt the carpet.
So, that's the story. Don't cheap out when buying a ceiling fan.
