What Customers Are Saying
This ceiling fan electrical box is a sturdy, well-constructed product that is easy to install and suitable for supporting heavy ceiling fans. Customers praised its solid metal build, secure mounting, and ability to handle the weight of large fans without issues. The installation process was described as straightforward, even in tight spaces or older construction. While a few minor drawbacks were noted, such as the plastic cable clips not being ideal for some wiring and limited adjustability for thin ceilings, the majority of customers highly recommended this product as an excellent solution for safely and reliably installing ceiling fans.

Would RecommendWorked as intended. The mounting bracket to hold the box to the round bar is easy to install by twisting in pre-mounted screws vs other brands with a square shape bar and having to try and locate the screw holes blind. My new favorite bar box.

Love how easy it was to get inside the hole and expand to securely fit. Feels very secure for the chandelier it’s supporting

Package weight capacity of 70lb fan is deceptive.
Would Not RecommendPurchased this to install a 52" fan. the package states ceiling fans up to 70lbs. (with a properly rated box) The assumption by most people would logically be that the box included meets that rating. The box that came in the package is stamped in small letters in the interior that it is only rated for a 35lb fan. It works really well and installation is easy, but an inattentive DIY homeowner could very easily put too heavy of a device on it.
It clearly states that it can be used with fans up to 70 LBS when used with 16” centers, and if used on 24” centers, then the max fan weight is 35 LB...
Worked like a charm
Would RecommendI was pleased with how easy this was to install. It dropped right in (I had access to the ceiling from the attic) and I could tighten it up quite snuggly and securely.

Rock solid
Would RecommendSurprisingly stout. Wasn't sure on this versus the usual "push 2 joists apart" style, but took a gamble, and this thing is solid. I did the "new construction" mount, on old work, and my only complaint is it's hard to get it flush that way. Mine is about 1/4-1/2" proud of the drywall. Should have had the wife hold it from below. It gave me no indication it can't hold a fan, as I was hanging a fan off it, including forgetting the remote control, and fighting that a bit.

Great product
Would RecommendEasy to install, strong, inexpensive. If you're goingbto spend big bucks on a beautiful light, chandelier, etc. this is great insurance it will stay where you put it! Holds up to 240 lbs. It's not worth skimping and use just 2 x 4's when this product is so inexpensive.
