Fanimation Studio Collection LP8350BLAZ Vintere Caged Ceiling Fan with LED Light Kit, 20 Inch, Aged Bronze

We converted our pantry into a dog room after installing a new dog door. The pantry is about 5x6 ft and it does not have its own air vent. We leave the door to the pantry open for air circulation but we wanted to have both a lighting fixture and fan in there. I found this fan on amazon and decided to give it a go. While it's quite large for the pantry room size, it's incredibly powerful and does a great job of cooling and circulating air. I like the dimmable light feature with the remote -- we dim the light at night and put it higher during the day for the dogs. The fan itself is pretty quiet, and I think if it were installed in a regular-sized room, it would be even more quiet (the sound amplifies in our pantry as it is small). However, there is a pretty noticeable sound difference between level 2 and level 3 of the fan. Level 3 is quite loud (highest setting). So, I usually keep the fan on level 2. Overall, this thing is great! It's the most expensive ceiling fixture I've ever purchased, but it serves the exact purpose I bought it for, and the style fits in well with our decor. I recommend it.

A little less than a year ago we moved into our 141 year old Vermont farmhouse (a real farmhouse, not a design adjective) and are slowly making improvements. We needed a ceiling light in our bedroom and were glad to find this Fanimation light/fan combo. My husband had to run electric into the ceiling and had everything completed within 45 minutes. He also installed a wall switch so the unit can be operated with the switch and/or remote. Obviously he knows what he’s doing. The fan works great-high is too cold for me now but may come in handy during the summer months (no air conditioning). On low and medium speed, noise is negligible. On high speed, it sounds like a fan, white noise to me, not intrusive and not an issue. I will probably reverse the fan direction for fall & winter months. I appreciate the ability to make that change. The light is good and the dimming function is really useful. This fan/light really fits beautifully with the hand hewn ceiling beams. We like it so much that we purchased another for our kitchen. Even though the rooms are not adjacent, the remotes conflicted with each other. My husband was able to “fix” that issue easily. We purchased a similar, look alike unit (on Amazon) from a different company for our living room because the fan supposedly had stronger air movement. I’m not convinced about that claim. It looks the same but with several shortcomings. This inferior alternative came with no battery for the remote. The battery is an unusual size and how can you check the installation without a working remote? This “other” fan is not reversible and the lights can not be dimmed, and no light bulbs were included. The Fanimation unit is clearly superior to me. It looks great, works as described, and came complete with remote battery and very attractive LED light bulbs. Highly recommended.

I installed 2 of these fans in upstairs bedrooms that had vaulted ceilings. This is a good quality fan.Pros: Remote controls fan and light separately, including dimmer and fan speed functions. The cage is quality metal construction. Installation instructions were easy to follow.Cons: My complaints were pretty minor. Fan is a little noisy at higher speed due to the "box" fan style, but not obnoxious. Wish timer function could shut off light without turning off fan. Biggest complaint has to do with the style of the fan. Installing the remote receiver and the beauty ring that contains it all is a struggle if you are working over your head. Do yourself a favor, and get a ladder tall enough you can get your head near the ceiling. You'll be glad you didOverall, a good quality product I would not hesitate to recommend. Looks good and functions well. Have received several compliments on these.

The fan works well for a small room, we use for our home office space (approx 12’ X 8’). Architecturally, we have gotten many compliments on the fan/light combo. We have a large picture window to the back patio in the room that lets in a lot of light, so the light output is not that critical to us. However, in a room with less ambient light, I would expect you would need supplemental lighting. Brighter LED bulbs could compensate, but I think that would detract from attractiveness of the unit since the bulbs are intended to directly visible.Only thing I wish it were better at is moving air such as you get with typical larger blade fans which have, in turn, have a larger “footprint” on the ceiling. This unit is strong moving air on height and fairly quiet, but that air is moving predominantly directly beneath the unit and moving from underneath the fan you can tell it is much weaker at moving air horizontally. It does fine keeping air temperature in room even, but if you are a bit sweaty and want the benefit of cooling off from the fan itself without lowering the AC temp, you need to be almost directly under the fan since it has a small footprint on the ceiling. But that footprint is what made it a great fit for the room we have.We are pleased how it looks and works for our space and the included remote is very handy, but I can imagine it might disappoint in other small room settings.

Works wonderfully.Was overall easy to install if you've installed other light fixtures or fans, it's the same song and dance:Remove old hardware, install bracket, build fan, Mount fan on bracket, Wire and close. About an hour install at most.Comes with a nifty remote and some nice bulbs.My primary reason for purchasing this exact fan was it is encased fully in the frame, allowing me to wire a pully system around it for my VR setup, a regular fan would not have permitted this to work, but it works perfectly with this fan.Small, but still moves a good amount of air, very directional and a small area of effect directly under the fan. It won't give you a breeze too far from under it. Motor is fairly quiet and well balanced, so there's no shaking.
