Description
The Gentry XL is a large fan built for rooms that need real air movement. With an 85 inch blade span and nine wood veneer blades, it shifts a generous volume of air across open-plan living spaces, big bedrooms and other sizeable interiors. The weathered zinc finish suits industrial-inspired schemes, though it settles just as happily into modern, classic or rustic rooms. An integrated LED light gives you soft ambient light when you want it, and steps back out of the way when you do not.
A quiet DC motor drives the fan, running at 39.9 dBa so it stays in the background rather than competing with conversation or sleep. You get six forward speeds plus a reverse setting, which lets you push cool air down in warmer months and gently circulate warm air in winter. The whole thing is controlled by the included remote, so you can adjust speed, switch direction, dim the light or turn the motor off without leaving your chair. Everything is handled from one handset.
Mounting is flexible. The fan works with a standard flush or downrod fitting and also supports angled ceilings, with a downrod supplied in the box. Because of its scale, we would fit it in a larger room with enough clearance around the blades and adequate ceiling height, rather than a small or low space. It is rated for humid interior locations and carries an IP20 rating, so it belongs indoors. Backed by a limited lifetime guarantee, it is made to keep running quietly year after year. If you want one fan to cover a big room with steady airflow and a warm, dimmable light, the Gentry XL is a sensible choice that earns its place overhead.

Frequently Asked
How much airflow does this fan provide?
With nine blades and a wide span driven by a DC motor, it moves a large volume of air. Six forward speeds let you set anything from a gentle breeze to strong circulation across a big room.
What size room does it suit?
The 85 inch blade span is designed for larger spaces such as open-plan living areas and big bedrooms. We would avoid small rooms, as the blades need plenty of clearance to spread air well.
How is the fan controlled?
A remote control is included. It handles the six speeds, the reverse setting, switching the motor off, and dimming the integrated LED light, all from one handset.
How quiet is it?
The DC motor runs at 39.9 dBa, which keeps it quiet enough to sit comfortably in the background during conversation, sleep or watching television.
Can it be fitted to a sloped ceiling?
Yes. It supports both standard and angled mounting, and a downrod is supplied in the box to give the blades the clearance they need.
Does the reverse setting help in winter?
It does. Running the motor in reverse gently circulates warm air that gathers near the ceiling, helping spread heat around the room in colder months.
