Our home came with a standard 52" ceiling fan in the large living room which looked awkward and immensely out of place due to being so small. When I first found this 84" Xtreme 8 fan I knew it was exactly what we wanted for our new home. If you're a DIY installer, this fan is not for the faint of heart ... installation in our 22' tall living room required scaffolding and a friend's help, but it was worth every bit of effort. We used a 72" down-rod to bring it back down to some sort of normal height.

It is absolutely the focal point of our high ceilings and modern living room, and gets more comments than any other fixture in our home. The amount of air it moves is incredible, and we truthfully never turn it past speed #3 as I'm afraid it might actually create a tornado with the wind it creates.

It's an expensive fan, but worth every penny in my book for the impressive aesthetic and functionality it delivers.
