Westinghouse Turbo Swirl Ceiling Fan

Living in a tight space, we had to look for things that can be installed on the ceiling or wall mounted to save us floor space.  And since we are living in this tropical country, we can only expect a few cool days and the rest to be warm and humid.  But since we are also living in a third world country with plunging economics that affected our savings to an all-time low, we cannot afford to turn the airconditioner on whenever we please.

Hence, we searched far and wide for cheap ceiling fans.  We came across different brands with various styles.  We never had to buy one before so this is alien to us.  We were only looking at the price and how it looked.  After seeing so many ceiling fans for several days, we tend to look at them even if we weren't intending to.  We started commenting on how they look over time, how they function, and all those things we didn't take into consideration.  And this made the search easier.

We didn't want one that wiggles for fear that it might come off and fly around the house.  We didn't want one that will have wilted blades over time for obvious functional reasons.  We didn't want one that does not have light so we don't have to worry about illuminating and cooling the room at the same time.  And we didn't want one that is too big.

Then we found it--the Westinghouse 30" Turbo Swirl Ceiling Fan.  Not only is it stylish with its rounded blades and glass light fixture (which we haven't installed at the moment) but it is also reasonably priced not like the other famous brand where the prices can go up the ceiling (pun intended).  We gave in and ended up getting two--the brushed aluminum and the white--and it certainly felt good :)
