Honeywell Ceiling Fans Carmel, 48 Inch Contemporary Indoor LED Ceiling Fan with Light, Remote Control, Dual Mounting Options, Dual Finish Blades, Reversible Motor - 50197-01 (Bronze)

This fan is amazing! My son did say it wasn't the easiest fan he has ever installed....but it is quiet, efficient, LOVE THE REMOTE.....It looks great! Going to buy more...

These are so much better then some other fans I bought. They have a more "traditional" look than the low-profile fan I had before, but it was very simple to assemble by myself, and mounted easily as well. I didn't have to use the balance tabs at all, and the color options allowed me to match up the room decor with ease (as much as I know how). Tips: 1) Do NOT assemble beforehand. Even with a helper, it will be much easier to just attach the blades and light afterwards. 2a) Make sure that you have a proper drop box in the ceiling. I highly recommend the box with the twist arm that extends between the joists. This is an after build (RETRO) style that can replace your light fixture box. Removing the old one can be a pain. I recommend using a Sawzall or jigsaw to cut the nails, once the wires are retracted. Get professional help if you are at all uneasy doing this. You don't want to go electrocuting yourself or cut through a joist! 2b) DO NOT use a standard light fixture box, even if it is rated to 50 lbs. They are not designed to handle the sway when the blades rotate. 2c) I further recommend the retro electrical box style with the square rod over the round rod, as with the square one your can truly tighten it down a bit more beyond hand tightening using a wrench (be sure to not OVER torque and crack the joists). 3) Get a remote (around $20) to operate these, and be sure to PROGRAM the remote and receiver ahead of time! I forgot on 1 of the 3 I bought, and I had to disassemble the whole thing to flip two tiny switches in the remote base! 4) Use the added pull chain hole in the light cap for the fan speed pull chain. Aligning it can be a small challenge, but once lined up, it will work quite well as an override in case the remote fails. 5) With the remote hooked up, the pull chains will operate differently. For instance, if you turn the fan on high with the remote, the pull chain will toggle it between low/med/high like normal. However, if you turn the fan on low with the remote, the pull chain will now toggle as ultra low, very low, and low. Keep this in mind. I'm not sure myself, but i wouldn't recommend running the at these abnormal settings, as the motor was likely not designed for them. 6) If you get multiple fans and remotes, MARK YOUR REMOTES in some way that helps determine which one is for which room. This will save you the frustration of walking room to room and clicking away to find out if the remote is for that room. I marked a small number on the back of the remote and on the hanger base. Just match them up!

The Honeywell Carmel 48” Ceiling Fan looks beautiful in our space, but I’ll admit the installation was more complicated than we expected — there were definitely a lot of parts to sort through. That said, once we got it put together, we could tell how well thought out the design is. The fan runs quietly, the airflow is great, and the remote is super convenient. One thing I really appreciate is that it came with warm LED lights, which can be surprisingly hard to find. Overall, despite the tricky installation, it’s a stylish, functional fan that we’re happy with.

Good: Clean, attractive, contemporary look. Reversible blades look good on both sides. Quiet; barely audible even in a quiet room. Well-balanced out of the box; a tiny wobble on high speed, nothing at all on low or medium. Relatively easy to install, with one caveat (see below). I thought the remote control frivolous, but it turns out that the lack of pull-chains is nice. (And hardwired switch-box controls are surprisingly hard to find and to make work well.) LED bulbs and remote batteries included. ETL listed and lifetime warranty. Bad: $65 premium for the pewter finish, no idea why. Makes this fan rather expensive for what you get. The wireless receiver / motor control sits in a slot in the mounting bracket, which is fine unless your electrical box is shallow and/or crowded (mine is both,) in which case the receiver box BARELY leaves room for the power connections. Extending the bracket another inch, or widening the canopy a little to let the receiver sit to one side of the bracket, would have made installation a breeze. As it was, I had to do some serious juggling to get everything to fit. Ugly: Once installed and powered up, every fan and light function can be controlled with the remote. Except one. For reasons which still mystify me, reversing the fan direction involves not only a physical switch on the fan, but a switch *behind the lamp cover*. Now, granted, most people reverse the fan only twice per year, if at all. But if you do, you get to go up a ladder and remove and replace a rather awkward and delicate glass globe to throw that switch. I'd put the over/under on the glass slipping out of my hands and taking a seven-foot plunge during one of these switchovers at about five years. I'm not an engineer, but I see no excuse at all for this. At least one of the eight remote control buttons is frivolous (and i could argue two more;) was it really *that* difficult to add that function to the remote? Would have simplified the lamp wiring quite a bit too. Bottom line: Aside from the above, I'm impressed with this fan. Looks good, performs well, looks like it'll continue to do so for a long time. But I'm not going to reverse the fan unless I absolutely have to. Five stars, but it was a very close thing; the high price and that hidden reverse switch very nearly cost it that fifth star.

I purchased this ceiling fan for my son's bedroom. It is an excellent size for an average size bedroom. I like that the fan is compact to the ceiling, so it can be effective in rooms with 8 ft ceilings. It is very quiet while running and can really move some air. The breeze and home features are nice to have, but rarely used. I like that the light is dimmable (just hold the light button on the remote and the light will cycle from dim to bright, just let go of the button when you hit the desired level). Installation is a breeze and fairly straightforward (keeping in mind I have installed 5 ceiling fans with remotes previously). The main headache with installing fans that have remotes is getting the receiver unit all tucked away inside the fan body as there is usually very little room for the unit and the connected wires. This fan was one of the easiest in that regard and I had it installed in about 45 minutes. My only minor gripe lies with the remote. It is fully functioned allowing you to control all aspects of the fan, however the light on / light off button is the same size and shape as all the other buttons and can be hard to locate with your finger when entering the dark room and wanting to turn on the light. If that button were raised slightly, or had some different texturing it would be easier to locate the button when needed. Again, a minor gripe for what is overall an excellent and great looking fan.

Excellent ceiling fan. Love these. I had three installed and they run quiet and are powerful. The installation was easy and the size of the blades w were perfect.

These fans are nice looking but that’s the extent of it. The pitch of the blades is almost zero (meaning they lay almost flat, the more angled they are the more air they move) so they don’t work as well as they could. Also, to reverse the air flow up or down you have to remove the glass and toggle the switch. This should be a remote function but you get what you pay for. The remotes for two of the five fans are temperamental and it isn’t a battery issue. They work when they feel like it. You have to coax them into turning on or off the light. I didn’t pay to have two toddlers in my house. They are also the ones we use the most. After having them installed for a few months I’ve noticed that all 5 units we have installed click as if something inside has shaken loose. If I tilt them or wiggle them a bit it sometimes helps for up to a couple of days but it is awful! Unfortunately it’s past the point of returning them so they are going in the trash. UPDATE: Two years later and we are going to replace all five. These are the absolute worst. The remotes for the two we used the most in the bedroom and TV room won’t work unless you stand under the fan and on the side where the remote control signal is which means I have to get out of bed and go to the foot of my husband’s side of the bed to turn the fan on. But that’s okay because it starts to rattle after a few minutes so it’s not worth using anyway. The TV room fan is quiet but only on low. Anything higher and it starts to rattle too. Again, you must get up and stand in front of the TV to get it to turn on or off. These were both installed correctly, we’ve checked that they may be misaligned but the guy who looked at them shook his head and said “pieces of crap”. The one in the guest room is rarely used, maybe 10 times in two years and it rattles too but at least you can turn it on and off from in bed but what’s the point when you can’t sleep? The ones in the kitchen and the living room work better but I think maybe it’s because they have a pole and aren’t flush against the ceiling. I am baffled that these are still selling and shame on the people giving a high star rating but saying how bad they really are. No one should have to go through the process of getting a good product the first time but I guess we almost got what we paid for.

Got both matte nickel grey one and matte bronze one for my son and daughters rooms and let me just say these are very sturdy and stylish in the room and matches everything. Good build would totally get again also the lights have dimmers too which is awesome

I really like the look of it, clean design, discreet yet powerful with long blades. Install wasn't bad at all but this wasn't my first ceiling fan and I have background in this type of work so it took me a little over 45 minutes start to finish. I installed it over the staircase so I wasn't too concerned about the noise levels but I can say that this fan is very quiet compared to other ones that I've installed in the past. It's been about two months with it and I'm very happy with the purchase.

El ventilador funciona muy bien, tiene bajo nivel de ruido, el control remoto cumple con todas sus funciones a la primera, el nivel de iluminación con los focos incluidos es bueno, el flujo de aire en los 3 niveles es el adecuado, al girar aún en la velocidad más alta prácticamente no tiene nada de balanceo, tiene muy buena apariencia y su precio es muy razonable. Solo es un poco tardada la instalación pero todo lo demás muy bien

Looks great, fan is quiet but lots of power. It is 48" but provides lots of air movement. The remote is easy to operate and provides good options. No instructions in box for operation of remote but the pictures are very helpful that are on the remote.

Muy bien Si vale la pena. Da buena cantidad de aire y refresca

El ventilador es de muy buena calidad, su instalación es muy sencilla y su apariencia elegante, pero aunque cuenta con 5 aspas su operación no es eficiente en cuanto a intensidad de corriente de aire. Recomendable para presentación
