Good Questions: Where Can I Find This Double Ceiling Fan?

Hello AT,

I love this fan! I saw this on an HGTV show but cannot find this fan anywhere. Where can I find one?

Thank you, Sharon

Dear Sharon,

That is a good question. We've never seen this design before and just spent a good deal of time looking and couldn't find it either. It must be a rare one, but we hate feeling licked.

Anyone able to pull this out of their hat?

Just saw this at Lowe's in Brooklyn (Gowanus and 9th St). It's also available online:

This looks similar to the Duplo Dinamico fans from Matthews Fan Company, but isn't an exact match.

I see that the Lowe's one doesn't reverse direction. I wouldn't like that.

Candice Olson did an epidsode in which she used a fan from this company (http://www.matthewsfanco.com/) which is a take on that one, but one that I think is extra super cool.

Maybe that could give some added inspiration?

That fan is plenty ugly.

Nikirene,

Wow, that's a perfect example of how someone can get ripped off by Ebay if they don't do their own homework first. Available for $169 at Home Depot (not even on sale!) and Ebay has it for over $250. Thank god there were no bids.

Rather than using e-bay

why pay a middle man when you could find the manufacturer or wholeseller

you could try searching for "twin ceiling fan" instead

you can also try this link for a ton of "twin ceiling fans"

or at least the names of the manufacturers

Hmmmm...I dunno. How do you say, "It's been done before and better by Matthews Fan Co" in Chinese?
