Great fan for small room
»
This is a nice fan for a small room, but the base is a little thick or fat looking, which to me, detracts from its looks somewhat. We have another Minka and it has been great so far.

Excellent Fan
»
The fan came packaged very well which from the start gave me a good impression of the quality of this product. The instructions are clear and concise and the quality of materials is good. The fan motor itself is pretty heavy and Minka Aire was nice enough to include a hook on the mounting plate for the sole purpose of hanging the motor during installation..very nice. The blades simply snap in and can be removed if necessary by releasing a hidden catch. The remote control is simple to use and each button makes sense as to what function is being activated . The light output is equivalent to a standard 100 watt bulb but the halogen bulb itself is tiny. (Make sure not to touch the bulb with bare hands because finger oils can cause premature bulb failure.) The light when turned on fades in nicely and on-off brightness can be varied. The fan is very quiet and moves a good amount of air. There does seem to be a bit of noticable fan hub runout on high speed but no fan wobble or vibration. I would recommend this fan.

A fabulous fan

This fan is extremely quiet and perfectly balanced. Additionally, the low speed is lower than I've seen with other fans, which makes it nice for gently moving air. On low, it almost noise free, and on higher speeds the noise is from the air moving, not the motor.
Installation was easy, the remote is nice, and the light dims in a continuously variable manner.
As another reviewer noted, the bulb does not give off tons of light (it can't compare to a 3, 4 or 5 bulb fixture that may have 300 watts of bulbs in it), so if you really need a lot of light that may be an issue. With that said, however, I would buy this unit anyway and find another way to put more light where you need it, since you won't be disappointed with the fan.

Moves air well
»
Ordered this fan recently for a small bedroom. The instructions are very easy to follow and the installation is quick. It has a three fan speed motor and is very quiet running. The only set back was that the bulb died after two days of use and since its a halogen, replacement is $10 - $15 rated at 100w 1000hr. I notified the company, and they did send a replacement bulb. Please note that the bulb is rated at 100 watts but output with light cover is about 60 watts.

Nice ceiling fan

Recently ordered this fan and found it very easy to install and use. The remote features a three speed setting with reverse and allows the light to be dimmed variably. The problem I had was with the halogen 100w bulb. One, it's not bright enough when covered, output is similar to 60 watts. Two, after two days of use the bulb blow out, replacement bulb is $10 - $15 and is rated at 2000 hours. I probably had a bad bulb, but I did follow all special directions on handling a halogen bulb. In all fairness, I did contact the seller and they did agree to send a replacement which I have not received as yet. This is a very handsome fan and is wobble free!
