Ceiling fans - anyone got one?

[TotallyJacquelineHigh]

Every summer I return to the same question of whether it’s worth installing a ceiling fan/light combo in our bedroom. I’ve found a couple that I don’t outright hate (don’t like the round ones, or the super 80s looking ones with the rattan blades) but still wondering whether to go for it. Anyone got one? Do you recommend?
Photo when it loads is one that looks ok to me.

Have you a link to the camping ones please?

Of course there was. The new high may temps recorded in last few days beat a record from 1944. 1976 was a heatwave year. Yes we get hotter weather in more recent years, more often, but there’s always been heatwaves.

@CatastroCat see if this works -

we lived in a normal 80s ex council house and I wondered this but the ceiling was too low for a ceiling fan it would’ve been dangerous. the white centre would be about 8 inches lower than the ceiling. I imagine it’s the same for 10000s of homeowners

I had one years ago and loved it! Gutted we don’t have one in this house

We are in a similar house, which is why we have the low profile LED light style ones. I out my hand into one like OP wants because I stretched.... Still have the scar!

I am feeling that the cost to benefit ratio of one of these is quite high.

Currently trying to figure out how to mount it on the ceiling. My best guess is to put a bar between two joists and attach it to that.

Crikey! I shall keep my hands to myself around the fan.

I have one in the bedroom, love it, must get a remote control one 🙂, I even have mine on in winter, I'm a very hot sleeper

Everyone was traumatised by the summer of 76!
