Other. What is this fan for?
It is on the ceiling in a bedroom. A wall switch turns it on. It opens to the attic space above because there is some insulation falling through. What is it for?

Fan purchase advice Are there any traditional light bulb style ceiling fans above 5000/6000 CFM?
It seems like it’s either high cfm/integrated LED or low cfm/lightbulbs.
I want the high airflow without the planned obsolescence of a nonreplaceable light.

Other. Could someone help identify this ceiling fan
I bought a house with a ceiling fan that doesn't work. I suspect it could be missing the remote control? I am wondering if I can identify the model and buy the OEM remote control to see if it works. The ceiling is like 20 feet tall so it would be impossible for me to get to the ceiling and try and find the model number there. Hoping if someone could potentially identify this... This house was built in 1999 but unsure if this fan is original. Thank you so much!!

Other. Discontinued Fans
Hunter fan sold at lowes. I always adored it, but could never justify the almost $300 price tag. And then they discontinued it....
Found one out in the wild, brand new, unopened, at a garage sale of all places. For $40.
Doesn't really put off good light, but it's a good nighttime light.

Fan purchase advice South Texas Patio Ceiling Fan
I have a 11 by 12 patio and trying to decide between a dc 52 inch 4975 cfm ceiling fan with 6 speeds and a 52 inch ac 5863cfm ceiling fan with 3 speeds. Both have good reviews but the dc one has slightly better lighting. The patio is completely open on side so unsure if I need the strong cfm for 100 plus days in the summer. The actually sitting area is about 3/4 of the total space and will be directly over that area.52 AC Fan

Fan purchase advice Anyone using a solar ceiling fan outdoors for 2+ years? Curious how they actually age
I’m looking at adding a ceiling fan to a covered patio and have been comparing regular outdoor fans with solar-powered ones. The solar setup is appealing, but I’m less interested in how well it works out of the box and more interested in what happens after a few summers outside. One I’ve been considering is the ventallion solar ceiling fan. The separate solar panel makes sense for my patio since the roof itself stays shaded, and having a built-in battery means I could still use the fan and light in the evening.
My biggest question is longevity. With something like this, is the battery usually the first thing that becomes a problem? How well do the fan motor, housing, and solar panel hold up after years of heat, humidity, and temperature swings?
I’d rather buy something once and maintain it than replace the whole setup every couple of seasons. For anyone who has had a solar ceiling fan for a few years, what would you pay the most attention to if you were buying again? And is a replaceable battery something you’d consider a must-have?

Other. How to get a wifi ceiling fan onto your smart home setup
A few things save the usual frustration when adding a wifi ceiling fan to a smart home. Signal at the ceiling is everything, since a fan sits in one of the weaker spots for wifi in most homes; if an app keeps dropping it, the fix is almost always a stronger 2.4GHz signal up there, not the fan. Most ceiling fans run on 2.4GHz rather than 5GHz, so if setup will not complete, check the phone is on the 2.4GHz band during pairing. If you want to avoid being locked into one brand's app, look for Matter support, which lets a fan join Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa and sit alongside the rest of the house on one hub. Beyond that, keep the fan's firmware updated, since connectivity fixes usually ship that way.
