MINKA-AIREF844-DK Light Wave 52" Ceiling Fan, Distressed Koa with Remote and Wall Control Bundle

I ordered two of these units for a fairly large 900 sq ft room in our home with 15 ft ceilings.Great looking fans.... They came with both wall mounted controllers, and hand held remotes as well. I also used a separate 24" Textured Black down rod for my installation. Hanging from the beams above, this lowered the fans to a height of roughly 10 ft off the floor.I've installed more ceiling fans than I care to count, but these were a little more difficult than expected. After messing with the first one, the second one was a piece of cake. The problem was getting the remote receiver properly installed. This is usually done last, but with this one it had to be wired in first. Of course, if your not using a wireless remote, then it's an easy, straight forward installation.These fans are QUIET.... I hear nothing on the Low or Medium speeds, and when set to high speed, the only sound heard is that of the wind! They efficiently move a lot of air as well. I am more than pleased with these fans!My only complaint would be the fact that both fans currently operate on the same frequency, so one controller operates both fans. Sounds like no big deal, until you hit a button on the controller and only "one" of the fans picks up the signal. Now your fans are operating out of sync!!!You can separate them though, so that they each operate on a different frequency. Usually this is just a case of flipping a few switches on the remote and the corresponding receiver above, but not with these fans... the receiver has no switches, they have to "Learn" a frequency change. This is very convenient if your fans are operating on separate circuits, but mine are both in the same room, powered off the same breaker. Which means I have to disconnect one fan from the power source, in order to change the operating frequency of the other.... this means one of the fans must be completely disassembled and taken down to access the power wire above... Why... because the receiver installation was #1 on the priority list during installation, remember.Farg'n pain in the...Great fans overall... I have ne regrets. I would certainly by them again.I would like to get my hands on the responsible engineer though...LOL

Electricians just installed it - not problems from them. It mives a lot of air even at low speeds. Really beautiful-simple in design

Pros:* Whisper quite. On the fastest speed all you hear the wind moving. Not sure how they do it.* Zero wobble.* Included both remote and wall control.* I think it is classy looking. Far better than the typical fanLess than Pros:* Integration with Alexa requires another device - but works well when installed. - but you cannot control the brightness of the light, just on and off.* If you are going from two switch fan to this, it takes a bit to figure it out. But if you are comfortable with changing light switches and can look up on YouTube, then you can do it.* I opted to put in the 12" drop which helps with airflow, but with the light centered on the bottom of the fan the light is not great in the edges of the room. But it is a bedroom and I do believe it would have been much better if I had used the default 6" drop.Bottom line: My wife likes it.

Puts out great volumes of air but extremely sensitive to vibrations or even heavy footsteps as the glass light dome tends to reverberate /clink.Consider putting some type of thin bushing/cushion between glass and housing to act as a damper. Looks beautiful in our master bedroom and is otherwise pretty quiet.

looks great, easy to install, using the wall mounted remote. Wish it was wood instead of plastic

Was easy to install. Looks great.

Excellent fan, had it installed by a professional, no complaints from him.The remotes included are not full function and do not reverse the fan, not a problem for me .

All the reasons CR rated #1 are in their article about ceiling fans. We like it because its so quiet and we really like its unique design.
