Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would give this fan 4, maybe even 5 stars, if the included wall control was remotely intelligent, but it pisses me off every time I use this fan, so it seriously takes away from my overall enjoyment of it. Let me just start off describing the wall control unit: there are two buttons and a rocker switch. The top button cycles through the fan speeds and the bottom button cycles through the light brightness, then the rocker is a master on/off switch. Each time you hit a button, there's an annoying audible series of tones that changes in pitch that is supposed to tell you which fan speed or brightness level it is on. Let me just say that I have owned the fan now for at least 6 months, and I have no idea how many brightness levels or fan speeds there are. It goes something like this: Slow -> Medium -> Fast -> Fastest -> Off. Try to imagine being able to tell visually the difference in fan speeds and you'll understand how completely stupid this is (or try to remember and decipher the audible morse code). For the light, the only definitive change is going from brightest to off. They could have made this 5x simpler, 1000x less annoying, and 5x faster by just replacing this brain-dead method with more buttons.
With that said, the fan itself is attractive and works quietly. However, I would hesitate to buy any more Casa products because I fear that they'll use this common control mechanism. In another room, I have a Minka Aire fan that, with a single push of a button, I can get exactly the light or fan speed I want. This drastic difference makes it even more annoying that I have to put up with the Casa control unit.
