Ceiling Fan Balancer

It reduced wobble, but the app tells me to place weights that are so close to the center of the fan that the weights would have to be on the blade holders themselves which I cannot do. It would be great if I could specify the length of usable blade space where I can actually stick a weight on top of. Otherwise it’s very helpful

I was a little skeptical of this, but was willing to accept a little wobble if I could improve it enough to not make noise. I went through the process twice and it is absolutely perfect. I ended up putting weights on multiple blades at various lengths. There is no way I would have gotten it that still through trial and error on my own. Saved me hours of work, a mental breakdown, and probably a still kinda wobbly fan.

Does exactly what it says it does.

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 the app and got the exact best place to add weights on two blades. Now the fan is completely wobble free at all speeds. Truly a great tool.

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.

The app was never able to detect the blade movement. I believe it is because my ceiling has vaulted areas. Does not work. I want my money back.

The app could never identify the dot on the bottom of the fan. I tried different color tape, making the dot bigger, and making the dot darker. The app was never able to locate the dot and balance the fan

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.

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 the weights almost where I originally had them with a few minor additions of weight and slight change to the location. The fan is balanced perfectly now. I’m impressed to say the least.

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.
