52" Hampton Bay Gazebo Ceiling Fan

Описание: Got this off of OfferUp for $25 back in January. It is my 1000th Hampton Bay fan and the 1st of the year 2026. It is also the second outdoor rated fan in my collection, meaning that it'll fare better in the environment that my fans are in.

In a relatively rare occurrence, this fan actually came with all of its parts. It is in a gloss black finish BUT there are some paint scraps left on the fan, likely from remodeling. This is one of the higher performing Hampton Bay fans, sporting a 172mm spinner motor. Some other versions of this fan have an even bigger 188mm spinner motor. Despite this one's motor being smaller, performance is still fairly surprising. The high speed rivals the Cameron to be honest. The medium speed, though, is very underwhelming, I would attribute that to a capacitor issue. High speed does have a fairly nasty wobble, likely due to the warped blades. Unlike most versions of the Gazebo, this one has a low-medium-high sequence, whereas most others would have the opposite order.

The Gazebo series is one of Hampton Bay's longest running. I believe it initially started out as an "industrial fan," but for the outdoors, and eventually ended up as today's Gazebo IV. This one is from December of 1997, made by Air Cool, and was likely one of the last models of this look made before the transition into the more famous design with the larger pretzel brackets and bracket skirts. (as many know that one would also have a version dubbed the "Plus" with an additional light kit)

Rarity meter: 3/10, I don't see these variants as much as the others, which is why it's relatively high, but it's also still a Gazebo, so they're around.

Timestamps:
Low: 2:35
Medium: 4:00
High: 4:38
Spindown: 6:22

Might also try a spotlight kit on this one.

Enjoy!
