Difficult to install but style and functionality are top notch.

Installation was difficult. For the remote control, the selected speed must be held for one second. Noise levels are virtually non-existent at the lowest speeds -1 and 2, and very tolerable at higher speeds. Very nice appearance and good airflow. Very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • LIGHTING: Bulbs not included. Special 20W LED bulb kit K9787L sold separately
Cons
  • Quality

Very nice minimalist fan

Great looks, seems to be of great quality, quiet, lets in a lot of air even on the lowest settings. Probably a fairly easy installation on a flat ceiling. Ours are steeply sloped so installation was far from easy. The "remote" receiver sits with the wiring, and I had to pad and bend it to get it seated properly. Otherwise it would be a 5 in all directions. Hope they hold up!

Pros
  • MOTOR: Pleasantly quiet, reversible 6-speed DC motor. Work summer and winter to circulate air and save on energy bills.
Cons
  • infuriates

Great looking for lighting and ceiling fans

Returned the first one because it started behaving strangely, it started, then stopped, then shook, then started again. .What to talk to the most unhelpful and disinterested person I've ever met at a customer service desk. He said rudely that magnetic fans do this. Removed and sent back, second fan works better but similarly without shaking and closing. Runs better when set to higher speeds. I keep the fan, but I know when you turn it on Fan spins up slowly, buzzes, stops, buzzes and starts…

Pros
  • DIMENSIONS: Dimensions: 12.75 inches from ceiling to lowest point of fan with 6 inch rod included. This slim ceiling fan has a blade diameter of 44" and a blade angle of 14°
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Ceiling fan Love Minka

We had a favorite Minka fan in the master bedroom of our old house that worked great for the 10 years we lived there so we had to have Minka back when we moved to our new house. Their design is elegant and modern and not old-fashioned. The remote control is a real plus. We only use speeds 1-3 as that's enough for us, but you can increase the speed to 6, after which it shakes a bit and looks like it's blasting the room apart. I'm currently using the included 6" lower stem and would like to…

Pros
  • OPTIONAL: waterproof for indoor and outdoor use. Requires Bond BD-1000 Hub (sold separately) to work with Amazon Alexa or Google Home. An optional WC400 remote control can be purchased separately.
Cons
  • Hard to say

The name says it all: Lights and Ceiling Fans

Fan Minka Simple is exactly what it says it is Easy. So many fans, for lack of a better word, look dated and vintage even while trying to be modern. On the other hand, this fan is elegant and really minimalist. However, this means that it does not work. That thing really moves air. I bought a 44 inch grand piano and mounted it on a 9 foot drop ceiling in a 12 x 12 room. Even Minka suggested getting a 52 inch blade for a room this size, but I wanted a smaller ceiling fan so I went with the…

Pros
  • INCLUDES: RC400 - 6 speed manual remote control, on/off, full range dimming, forward and reverse function and 6" base
Cons
  • Safety
