Review on πŸ”΅ Minka-Aire F844-WH Light Wave 52-Inch Ceiling Fan - White, Remote Control, and Extra Wall Control by Emily Wilson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Noisy but works in ceiling fans and accessories

I wanted something that looked better than a standard ceiling fan without paying a fortune and it fits. They look very nice even though the blades and body are plastic. I hope they don't turn yellow over time, but we'll see. Plastic collects static electricity which attracts dust so I had to clean them twice in 4 months. I'm not talking about a tiny particle of dust, I'm literally covered in it. Although it's easy to clean. The LED light is very bright and easy to dim. I use a wall remote and it works fine except you can't change the rotation. You need to lift the cover on the case and manually flip the switch in the opposite direction. The main thing I don't like about them (I bought 2 and kept one) is that they all have different levels of annoying noise. One hums, another creaks, and the third hums and sounds like something is rubbing slightly inside. It is not possible to use them at maximum level or they are very noisy. Low to medium seems ok. I tried balancing the blades and it didn't work. In any case, due to the shape of the blades, this does not work. If you attach counterweights, they will definitely become visible. I wish I'd just bought one of these to try first, but live and learn. Installation was so easy I could do it myself.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • It's ok
