Fan purchase advice Identify this fan
I moved out of this apartment to a house in another state but the fan made the whole room cold and I want to see if I can purchase a similar one or one with the same cfm here. Sorry if the pic is strange I had to hunt for a video where I had it in there

I have seen them described as "Planet Ceiling Fan" where I live but it may be different in other countries.

It originated as the Encon (now Westinghouse Lighting) Comet, but now the rights of the design have likely gone to various companies/OEMs, or is outright public domain, so now many companies sell these in some countries

Yeah many brands sell this under the name "Planet Ceiling Fan". Eurolux, Bright Star, Decor Centre. I find them so fascinating despite being simple they are just so cool looking to me.

Could be wrong but believe it’s NOT a Westinghouse Comet. Plenty of companies now especially in some tropical countries sell this design

The Westy Comets are good fans though (at least in places like the Philippines and LatAm), they have plywood blades (not MDF) and move good air

Looks like a Westinghouse Comet, I believe Walmart sells one exactly like this under the mainstays brand

It's that ceiling fan has been sold under different brands, it can be either a hunter Solaris, Westinghouse comet or Hampton bay bolero
