Hampton Bay Windward – Feature Deep Dive
Thermostatic Remote Control
One of the things that make the Windward II special is that it is fitted with thermostatic remote control. I figured out that this particular feature allows users like me to set the temperature to the desired frequency, giving me an optimal experience, whether in the winter or summer.
Also, the Windward ceiling fan temperature-control remote has a button that allows me to change the direction of airflow. This reversible airflow feature personally comes in handy, especially at night when I prefer to turn airflow up, as turning it down usually causes muscle friction.
Glow In The Dark Lighting
Asides from the temperature control capabilities of the remote, another of my favorite features of the remote control is the glowing of the light button in the dark, which I think is just perfect.
For example, once, this light button helped me find the remote itself when I mistakenly stepped on the light button. Not much, but it helps, and this feature mostly comes with the newer versions of the fan.
Expansive Light Kit
Another cool feature of the Windward II is its light kit. This feature saves me a lot of light bills as it is energy-efficient by default. Also, apart from being energy-saving, the light kit is designed to provide dual illumination for any time of the day, be it nighttime illumination when I want to sleep or illumination for my reading. It’s easily one of my favorite features.
White Blades
Furthermore, the Windward II’s gorgeous white blades add a tinge of grandeur to your room’s decor. For me, this is one of the attractive features of this fan. Plus, these blades have got quite the pitch on them, as the edges have a 29-degree pitch which means they will produce more air even at a low speed.
Lastly, one stand-out review by most users of this fan is the fact that the Windward II ceiling fan is noiseless.
