Casablanca Wailea 31" ceiling fan in brushed nickel. This is another current redesigned Casablanca model, one that I've been interested in working with. This is still a fantastic little fan, and while I love older Waileas, after seeing it in person I really don't mind the appearance changes too much. It no longer has the six blade adaptor on the motor like the older variants, it's just simply a motor tapped for six blades. The Homestead spacing method still rings true though, it does adapt four blades. I absolutely love the added fourth speed. Small fans are usually excessively fast on low, this fan has an excellent gentle low speed. Really powerful little thing, air movement was not compromised during the redesign, and it runs quietly. There is a wobble on higher speeds, which I honestly half expect with plastic blades, they just tend to cause wobble more often. Admittedly I did not balance it at all myself since I would've had to do it for each configuration, and filming fans with this many configurations is already an involved process that I usually don't want to prolong. Pretty solid product though, I still think this fan is a great option for small spaces.
