Review of the Harbor Breeze Centreville Ceiling Fan

The biggest problem we found with this fan is the airflow. Even with the bigger 52 inch Centreville fan, the airflow is just way too small. Even if you have the fan on high and stand directly under it, you still cannot feel much in the way of a breeze, which ideally is what a fan is designed to do.

Apart from that, everything else about this fan is great. It looks great, it is easy to install and there are so many good comments and remarks from those who have purchased this particular model. You will have to order a cap if you don’t want to install the included light kit, as there is no light cap in the box.

If you are looking for good lighting then this fan may not be the right option for you. The light fittings are candelabra style which just doesn’t give the right amount of light. Another problem is that the bulbs burn out regularly which could be due to their inability to handle the electricity due to being a smaller size.

Customer review comparison of the Harbor Breeze Centreville 42 inch and the Harbor Breeze Centreville 52 inch Ceiling Fan

As you can see the 52 inch Centreville ceiling fan is slightly more popular than the 42 inch versions. This is probably because of the airflow, as the bigger fan does move a bit more air than the smaller fan. However other than that, they are similar in every other way.

Looking at the percentage values above for the star reviews, you can see that both sizes are pretty much the same with the 52 inch slightly ahead of the 42 inch for 5 stars.

You wouldn’t go too far wrong with this fan. Overall it’s a classy fan with a great price. We recommend the 52 inch over the smaller 42 inch. Check out the Harbor Breeze Centreville 52 inch Ceiling Fan Here (Affiliate Link to Amazon)
