Review on Minka-Aire F532-ORB Sunseeker: The Perfect 60 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with Pull Chain in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointing Airflow

This fan has an excellent build quality compared to much cheaper fans I have installed in the past. That looks great. Good instructions and good fit and finish. I assume it will last a long time. I ordered it because it claims to move 6700 CFM of air at fairly low RPMs with a 60 inch span. Sounds great on paper, but airflow is pretty disappointing. I mounted it on our outdoor patio. If you read the specs for 52" fans you will see that they typically run between 5000-5000 CFM but spin much faster. I can tell you that this fan definitely doesn't feel like it's moving 33% more air than a smaller, cheaper fan. I don't know how the fans are measured, but maybe a lower CFM would feel better at a higher speed. If I had to do it all over again I would literally save half the money and buy a regular 52 inch fan. I think the airflow will be the same based on my experience with cheap 52" ceiling fans (internal). Install it and enjoy the build quality just once for a few hours. You've sat in frustrating air currents for years. 3/5 stars.
