Bought 2 Bestar 3 years ago.
1 died about 6 months ago.
Another just died last week.
Recommendation is to avoid it... cheap but hassle to replace. In both cases, the remote control component in the fan died, repair + labour cost is hefty and almost can buy new fan..

The remote control spoiled then you throw away the whole fan ?

Can try to replace yourself.

DC remote control is <$20.

Or hire handyman from Carousell is <$80.

Yes so change the receiver. Its cheap.

The motor is supposed to last longer.

But the remote can spoil earlier. This is quite common for any ceiling fans. Depends on your luck also.

Actually not bad already la. Nearly 3 years. KDK also may not tong so long. 1 day is like $0.20 per fan. Not expensive

I changed for my Rubine fan before, it is not difficult.

My rubine fan was bought from Malaysia, used for about 3 years and the low speed was getting too slow, medium and high speed too strong for wife, so I decided to change the module instead of the entire fan. It was about 5-6 years ago, bought those universal white colour module and remote control from Shopee for $6. With a ladder and screwdriver, took me about 15 minutes.

Yah lor I thought the fan will chibaboom or disintegrate like you claimed with cheap ceiling fans.

Remote controls faulty are quite common issues. My old Elmark and Fanco fans also had receiver issues.

Can die earlier if ac incoming is not clean. Also depends on frequency of usage ie heat.

my Bestar fans are five years old... one now sometimes cannot turn off light, when pressing the button on the remote will hear the sound but the light still on

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for outdoor ceiling fans? e.g. for car porches and patios.

google search turns up outdoor ceiling fans from haiku but they’re rather expensive.

Speaking of which, any haiku fan owners here? any opinions on your haiku fans?

i installed a 60 inch haiku L fan on my car porch and a 52 inch I fan in the patio. Pretty but not really useful though - i hardly turned it on. Fancy spending 5k for 2 fans for no valid reason. Suggest you just go for cheaper options.

One remote control already $150.
