Home Depot shoppers rush to buy $229 summer essential which scans at register for $99

A SUMMER must-have is scanning at more than 50 percent off at Home Depot and shoppers are scrambling to get it.

While some people reach for an air conditioner to keep cool when the temperature goes up, others opt for a ceiling fan but they can be pricey.

Thankfully, Home Depot customers are in luck after an item priced over $200 is ringing up for much less.

The Cavera II 52 in. Indoor Matte Nickel Wifi-Enabled Smart Ceiling Fan was originally priced at $229 but is now available for $99 - a 52 percent discount.

The fan connects to an app, which controls the speed and lighting and is also compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Home Kit.

It is a medium-range fan, meaning it works best in rooms that are 400 square feet or less.

According to the Home Depot website, this fan is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

While this product comes at a major discount - with savings of $130 - it is important to note that the $99 price only applies to the fan in matte nickel.

The fan is also available in matte black and fresh white, however, both of those are available for $149.

With more than 800 reviews, the fan has an average rating of four out of five stars and has several customer photos as well.

"Attractive and quiet. Great air circulation. I looked at a lot of fans before deciding on this one for a bedroom. Hunter fans have always worked well for me," wrote one customer.

"My room has separate wiring for light and fan in addition to the remote. It is nice to have the wall switch and remote options. Easy light shade on and off to change LED lights. Love it!

"Only caution is that the base against the ceiling is smaller than my previous fan so a little touchup paint is needed."

Another customer pointed out the price drop of the fan, saying that it became a "no-brainer" to buy it at that point.

"Clicked on it and delivered free UPS. Once up and running, performance and looks blow away the builder-quality ceiling fan it replaced. The remote is very simple to use and comes with a quick reference card. All in all, this was deal of the year so far," they wrote.

" I may have given it one star too many because it's not the best out there, but value is. I bought the matte nickel color and it's just as described."
