Love this mid-century look fixture!
Beautiful fixture that goes great with my mid-century modern room! It was very difficult to find something with a true mid-century modern look and color – so I was so happy to find this one! I’ve had several people give positive comments on it – including the electrician that installed it. I didn’t watch him install it, but he didn’t mention any issues during the install, so I’m guessing it was simple enough to install. I believe I read that the blades are a composite material, but you would never know that to see it. It looks and feels just like wood – however, I am guessing if they used a laminate wood in time it would peel – so I’m actually happy it is not wood. I was going to give it 4 stars because of the light – but it is so nice, I decided that wasn’t enough to drop it a star. The light works from a remote control (as does the speed of the fan). It is dimmable; my electrician must have put in an LED bulb [NOTE: based on other reviews, the bulb is already installed in the unit; I did not know that since I did not watch him install it. hmmm…I wonder how you replace the bulb when it goes out??] I think it is too bright white. When it burns out, I will see about getting a soft-white dimmable bulb instead. On its highest setting it is overpowering and difficult to even look at – even though the globe is frosted – it is like an intense spot light. For general use, the lowest setting is fine – which is similar to a 40 watt incandescent. There is a few moments of lag from the time you turn on the light switch until the light actually turns on. The fan speeds are fine – but there is a bit of a hum at the fastest speed. I use this in my office so I don’t notice it – if it was in the bedroom it may be a different matter. The slow and medium settings are totally silent. I was concerned it might be a bit large for my 12×14 room, but it looks fine – now that I’m used to it. 🙂

Assembly = straightforward and easy. Comes with two lengths of downrods
Assembly = straightforward and easy. Comes with two lengths of downrods.Quality and finish = very good. I thought the blades would be too plasticy, but they look and feel like real wood and are very well done.Fan Performance = fan is silent at all speeds and blows plenty of air to cool the small room I put it in. I’m not sure how it would fare in a large room because it does push a little less air than it’s 5-blade brethren… but it seems powerful enough that I would give it a try in a 20×20 with 10 foot ceilings. There is no wobble at any speed, which is pretty impressive and a welcome surprise.Light Performance = much brighter than I thought it would be. It dims down in stages and that works fine, although I do wish it went just a little bit dimmer for those late night gaming binges (but that seems to be the problem with all types of LED lights in my house… they don’t dim enough). When turning it off and back on it remembers the dimness setting (as expected).Other = Remote seems a bit flimsy but works great. White plastic with opaque silicone buttons is going to get dirty fast. No complaints yet, just being pessimistic about it.Overall:I looked at a LOT of ceiling fans (pretty much ALL ceiling fans everywhere) looking for something eye-catching and performant but not too expensive. I eventually settled on this one because of the good reviews, the decent price, and the simple eye-catching design that was just right to make you look twice without overpowering the room. I’m very happy with my final decision and would definitely buy this again.One final note… it’s a bit smaller than I thought it would be. I think maybe the 3-blade design makes it feel smaller than other similar sized fans, and I like that.

Very stylish fan that generates significant air movement even on low setting
We installed 2 of these in our home when we remodeled this year. We are in a coastal community and this fan blends nicely with the tropical and coastal décor. Visitors have commented about the pleasing aesthetics of the fans.We typically run them on low setting, and even at that they generate more air movement than our prior flat blade fans did. The included light kit produces a fairly warm light, and is dimmable. In order to dim or brighten the light simply hold down one of the buttons on the remote control used to turn on and off the light. A short press on one of those buttons will turn on or off the light whereas a long press will dim or brighten it.Installation was a little different from our old ceiling fans. With these there is a remote control receiver that must be wired and then mounted within the fan bracket. We are operating these with the included remote controls. We ultimately installed 4 Minka Aire fans (the other 2 were a smaller version) and it was easy to set each remote control to operate its respective fan. If desired the remote control can be set to control multiple units, but of course that would make changing settings on just one more difficult. There are dip switches that can be used to make this setting, and included instructions then walk you through the final steps to get the receiver and remote control to communicate with one another.We are very pleased with the appearance and operation of these fans.
