For $200 you should be able to buy a very good quality, classic design
fan, from just about any manufacturer
Illogical, but fun to read.
Why so, pretty much beyond that price range you are paying for fancy
controls or styling. Every reputable company that builds classic style ,
or traditional style fans, will have a good quality fan in that price

Key "reputable company."

Your original post said "just about any manufacturer" I bet I can walk
into the Orange Colored Store and find a ceiling fan that sells for $200
but is a festering POS.

this isn't limited to ceiling fans, either, pretty much all consumer goods
are poor quality crap.

Not a traditional fan . I don't think they even sell a traditional HB in
that price range. Hunter is probably the only thing they'd have in a
traditional style at that price, and personally, I'm no fan of Hunter, but
it would arguably be " a quality fan"



just curious, why not a fan (pun intended?) I've installed at least two
Hunters in my recent memory and while I knew that they weren't "top of
the line" I've had no problems with them. One was installed in my
kitchen xmas '07 and has seen a LOT of use since then (as in, it will be
turned on to keep the kitchen cool while cooking and then left on
continuously until someone notices that it's running) other was in a
rental house (long story) so I don't know how that one held up.
