16 Positive User Reviews for Ceiling Fan Balancer
Like magic
One of the best apps I ever purchased. Good job to the engineers who designed the algorithm, and to the software team that built the app. Clear instructions, easy to follow, and works like a charm. A+++++
Wow
Worked great first time through! I highly recommend, takes all the guess work out!
It works!
I feel like this is came from the time period of “Oh there is an app for that!” But it works and our fan no longer wobbles at high speed
Magical
My son’s fan was a wobbly mess. I bought a weight kit but it seemed like it was going to take forever with trial and error so I bought this app. I was skeptical despite the positive reviews but it worked like a dream. Followed the simple instructions and boom wobble fixed.
This developer needs to be building rockets or something.
Amazing
I am an unpaid purchaser of this app. I am typically skeptical of apps like this, but after struggling for an hour, I thought losing $3 on the off chance that it works is totally OK with me. I should have bought it at the start of my struggles! It worked great the first time I tried it, even with me fudging on some of the measurement steps!
Time /Sanity saver
After I misread instructions and 10 tries. I corrected and got it in the first try. Worth $3
Does what it supposed to do.
We loaded up this app, followed the instructions and balanced the fan. Easy least, lemon squeezey.
Remarkably good, well worth the cost!
I admit I was a little skeptical, but this app was pretty inexpensive, so I gave it a go.
It’s gotten our fan better balanced and quieter than I’ve ever been able to do manually. It gave a recommendation to put a weight 4” from the end of one blade, and 12.25” from the end of another. And it really worked! Amazing!
Take the plunge—it really is worth it.
I was a skeptic, but now a believer.
I spent about an hour trying to balance my fan, using a balancing kit following the instructions in the kit. I had it pretty close, but being the perfectionist that I am, I wanted to get it perfect. A little Internet searching pointed me to this app, which I tried. I had doubts that it would allow me to get the balance any better but I went ahead with the instructions in the app, exactly as outlined. I removed the weight that I had originally installed and much to my surprise. The app had me put
Worth the $3
Fiddled with the fan for 2 hours, then bought the app. In 20 minutes it had it better than I could get it. Not perfect, but worth $3
Also props for not asking for my personal info or wanting a monthly subscription.
Now I want to balance all my fans!!
This app is the tool I needed to balance my wobbly fan that squeaked. It helped me find which blade needed the weight and where to place it. I like its objective measurement. I started with a wobble score of 30 and ended with 2.5. To my eye, it’s perfectly still at full speed. A few tips, put the camera on a step ladder for consistency. I used small paper binder clips from my office. I numbered the tops of my fan blades with a magic marker.
Easy-Peasy
I installed a new ceiling fan this afternoon. It’s mounted on a vaulted ceiling and the fan blades only have around an inch of clearance. I should probably get a longer downrod, but the two previous fans were fine.
The new fan had the very slightest wobble. Not enough to really notice, but enough that the fan blades were tapping the ceiling.
I tried balancing it manually and spent too much time with no better results. Then I read about this app on Reddit.
It took around ten minutes using
Works great
Does exactly what it says it does.
Make sure your final weights are equivalent to your clip weight. What a time saver.
Recommendation:
1. Optional clip/test weight and final weight inputs.
I used clothespins, quarters, and tape. While quarters and clothespins both weigh 6g on my kitchen scale. The clothespins are slightly heavier. This didn’t effect my desired outcome of minimizing noise. It is visually off.
Works amazingly well!
Best buck ever spent. Just getting a vibration reading is worth it versus trying to figure out if it’s a little better or worse when you place weights. I spent a couple hours on a wooden 3 blade fan and was getting closer- this hit it in one shot! It does tricky math to determine exact effects and it’s real good. Buy it! I’m going to do it over with careful measurements and see if I can get it perfect now that I trust that it works.
Very Impressed
I didn't have high expectations for this app but for $0.99, I thought I would give it a try.
It worked perfectly to balance a large 8-blade fan. I appreciate how simple & well layed out the app & instructions are. I'm not sure I would have gotten this fan balanced without a lot of time & maybe not this well without this app.
