Outstanding Value!!!
I needed to replace 8 fans that have deteriorated over the years. My criteria was they need to be contemporary, small motor and have LED lighting. I have a bunch of Haiku fans in another location so I am well versed on what a $1000 fan is. While these are definitely not of the quality of the Haiku fans they have a few things in common. They both have very small motors and they are both made of a composite plastic. The big difference is that the Haiku fans use a DC motor and it is virtually silent when on. The Minka is a standard AC fan motor (although very small) that has the typical buzzing sound when in use you would expect with a fan at this price point. This is not an issue for me but may be for others. The build quality on this fan is outstanding, all parts are very well finished and assemble easily. The LED on this fan is bright, very bright and has no trouble illuminating every room I have installed them in. The remote is a typical cheap remote you find in fans at this price but it works very well. The fan installed in about 10 minutes with one person. It is very lightweight and very easy to carry up a ladder alone.
Bottom line despite cheap remote, a little buzz from the motor, this fan looks great, has an amazing LED light and installs easily. At this price point there is nothing better in my opinion and for these reasons I give it 5 stars. I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend them.
