    Multiple Design Flaws - Avoid this one

    We have had numerous issues with the Zephyr Glo. Our first one arrived with the hinge holding the light fixture broken. Additionally, the light was glued to the hinge, which had also separated. Best Buy replaced this with no issues; however, we did note the hinge holding the light is very light and will likely be prone to breaking down the line if the glue doesn't give out first. After using the replacement for about a month, we have found that the grease collected by the fan has collected inside the light fixture making the light unusable. The light itself is unsealed around the edge, so this appears to be a design flaw. Otherwise, the fan seems to work well.
