Big Green: reversible ceiling fans vs. natural forces

[Andrew Potts]

Of course I encourage the more efficient one but for the sake of choice and availability I know that Hampton Bay also makes a reversible, remote-controlled fan.

A friend has been very pleased with their fan, especially the 54-inch blades that seem to circulate air well even in a large, open room. 

I believe this is one of the models: http://hamptonbayinfo.com/hamptonbay/Category100258/Category100263/Category100268/Product9.html

Peter,

I would recommend this fan.  Not only does it reverse with a remote but it
operates significantly more efficiently than a standard ceiling fan.

I have the Windward II in my office and it is working great.
