This worked amazingly well. Took about 30 minutes to get my wobbly fan completely balanced and quiet.
Reviews for Ceiling Fan Balancer
Tried it on a 7 blade outdoor fan, blades longer than what the app would accommodate, just had to move the phone lower, worked like a champ, also it did take about 25 minutes to go thru the whole process.
I was beyond skeptical that this could work. I was about to throw the fan away as I had balanced many fans without any assistance of an app, this one would not balance. This app got that fan balancedbbetter than any other ceiling fan in my house. Well worth whatever money they charge for the app. Thank you guys.
Worked amazingly!! Was wondering if there was some way to determine balance using just a camera and saw someone suggest this and how painless it was. It was like, exactly the thing I had in mind, and sure enough, it worked like an absolute charm!
I've had a huge wobble in my fan for years that create an annoying noise. trying to balance manually has not been helping. tried the app. it took several trys but I finally got my wobble from the 40s to around 5. so yes this app really works!! only issue I had with app is getting to detect the black dot. make sure the dot is a white background and smaller than a dime. place phone 3ft away. too close and u get bad readings too.
Couldn't balance my fan myself and got tired of the noise of an unbalanced fan. Figured a couple of bucks was worth the shot if it could fix the imbalance. The app worked well. Did not get rid of all of the wobble but it was pretty bad and it made it much much better. Glad I purchased the app.
It's crazy how this works. You definitely need to read the instructions. I thought 🤔 it would just work with the camera seeing the blades. After several failed attempts I decided to read the instructions. It needs to track the center dot. AMAZING!
The dot tracking system doesn't work reliably regardless of position, distance, size, lighting e.t.c. Then if by some miracle it tracks the dot for more than 20 seconds, the blade tracking is "inaccurate". I wish I could have the hours of my life back I wasted trying to get this to work.
A little fiddley getting it to register the dot. Helped to move my phone closer, about 2ft away as it says it the app. Also, you can NOT just hold your phone; it needs to be resting on a stable surface. Once I figured that out, it worked perfectly. Fan is now rock solid.
A God send. I know it's just math and great camera usage, but it works so well it seems like a cheat code or witchcraft. Balanced my fan quickly and perfectly. There is NO way you could get the same results by just eye-balling it or trial-and-error. A must-have app for DIYers.
