Ceiling Fan Recommendation

[SBC]

Any recommendation for mini ceiling fan in the bedroom?
Existing is Fanco mini bee

 

[elvintay07]

U installed in living room or bedroom? I just ordered 1 for study room, I think small enclosed area should be fine. I read reviews on Lazada and shopee, most reviews seems ok. My friends got fanco fans, they seems happy with it too. Same friend who got fanco and KDK, complained KDK no wind

What about the remote? Why RF no good?

I read expensive etc. initially I thinking of trying the Alaska or Aeroair. The blades looks more deep and curve hence bring more wind

 

[elvintay07]

Today morning I got nothing to do. Went to Jalan Besar and talk to some fan distributors. They say don’t buy fanco. Long term not reliable. Recommend Alaska, Aeroair, Pretige and Bestar

Did they tell you why RF remote no good?

Did they tell you why RF remote no good?

No. Rather that is my own assessment. My initial impression is KDK is IR and fanco is RF. Apparently I am told all are RF? Another shop recommend Efenz. I use my eyes to see. Seems like those fan with light (especially those with exposed edges) will tends to cause this flickering effect on ceiling. The type where light is recess into the fan (example prestige and efenz) all don’t have these problem.

i understand only some models from Alaska has composite finishing like Haiku. The rest are all polymer blades. To me, the consideration is

(1) Safe
(2) Strong wind
(3) No flickering effect

I asked about KDK/ Spin and Haiku. They mentioned KDK/ Spin no wind, but spin looks very stylish. Haiku they mentioned L series (cost $700 per fan) got no wind. I series seems very expensive. They say if got too much money can buy. 2 of my rich friends using Haiku. They mentioned nothing to complaint but price ridiculously expensive. Haha

Only left with Alaska?

But got 4 years warranty although not sure about the customer service good or not

Anyway I bought 1 to test. Even KDK also got complain, for the price I paid, I guess nothing much to complain. Must test then know

Prestige, Alaska, Aeroair, Bestar and Efenz all got wind. The question is how strong. I think the best is Prestige and Alaska.

For KDK, their specs are listed down so u can tell whether the RPM is ok or not. The rest are not written down. Haiku the shop ppl say can go ahead to buy. It is all about budget. Got too much money can always buy. Haiku is like the “apple of ceiling fan”. To me, it boils down to whether you want to spend $800~$1500 for a fan. For fanco, I won’t buy. The price very cheap lei. And things that are too cheap I won’t buy. Ceiling fan a lot is about manpower. 1 fan spoil not about paying $300 for a fan. Need to include the labour cost.

Was at MEGA discount store today. The SA was pushing his best seller below claiming it performs better than the atas Haiku :

The wind from his demo unit in store was indeed unbelievably strong even from a considerable distance away.

After reading so many complains on remote failing with replacement costing almost 3/4 of the fan. Ended up buying 5 fans from TB, so far so good, light breeze and low speed, moderate windy at higher speed. Choices of having bigger/stronger light is a huge pull factor as well due to ceiling fan is likely to cause flickering from nearby ceiling lights.

sometimes the windy effect is partially due to cooler temp by AC. Chance are wind will not feel as strong under normal fan usage which is when AC is off.

Thinking to get Prestige M3 hugger fan as the wind is strong and not noisy. Any review on the brand or this model? Thanks

As more/all ceiling fans are coming with led light kits (proprietary), there is going to be a common problem among ceiling fan owners when the LED fails in 3- 5yr time. Replacement LED are sold at high price. What are the solutions today?

Yes. That's what I have observed for the ceiling fan lightings as well.
Ceiling fan lightings that has the side of the led light covered seems not to have flicking effect on ceiling as well. For example, Bestar, "Wind" model led lighting (side of the led light is covered) seems like don't have flicking problem.

Yeah. I presume don’t have choice if eyes very sensitive. But u will sacrifice some brightness because if the side of lights are covered, then less bright

Hi guys, any good fan to recommend with strong wind? noisy is not a problem.
Fanco good wind but why soo low reviews.
I saw many including Khind, Mistral, Alpha, Crestar ceiling fans but all look like China OEM, can tell from their remote its all same and can find them on Alibaba, hahaha.
Is KDK the only inhouse manufactured fan but its $400+.
I wonder if there is ceiling fan $200+ inhouse manufactured brand and not china oem.
