Minka-Aire F518-WH 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan, White with White Blades

Caveat Emptor! (Buyer Beware!)
This particular fan has worked out OK for me. BUT!!!

I bought another one of these at about the same time and the unit failed completely within 5 months of its installation. I contacted Minka, who informed me that they would not honor their warranty because the unit was sold by Amazon. (They would, however, give me the repair part numbers so I could buy them. Nice of them, wasn't it?) Now Amazon tells me that they will not honor the warranty because it was sold more than 90 days ago! So I'm out the entire purchase price of this fan....

I find it incredible that Amazon offers goods knowing that the manufacturer will not honor his warranties.

Amazon's business has to be built on the trust of customers who are buying products sight-unseen, and I believe their action here is a violation of that trust.

I'll certainly not be buying anything associated with the Minka name, and having been burned once I'll have to be more careful before buying...

I am in love with a ceiling fan (?!)
I bought this ceiling fan because it has such a low ceiling clearance and we live in a 1947 cottage with relatively low ceilings. I absolutely love it! It doesn't wobble (which is amazing, considering nothing in our house is even, especially not the ceiling), it is super quiet and it brings modern elegance to our living room. It was soooo easy to put together! I am already checking out all (!) the other ceiling fans in our house to see whether we can replace them with that product...(we live in the Southeast, so we have a lot of them....). One of my best purchases for the house, ever.

Beautiful, quiet, easy to install
This fan is just beautiful. Very clean lines and it doesn't look old-fashioned like most ceiling fans. It's also very, very easy to install. Three wires connect to the fan from the remote receiver and three to your home wiring. The blades snap right into place and once the plate is mounted to your receptacle box (fan rated of course) the fan goes into place and is held by four screws. There's a little hook on the mounting plate that you can use to hold the fan in place while you make all the connections. I wish every lighting fixture had that.

At low speed you can barely hear it and it seems to move quite a bit of air. It appears to be extremely well built and the fit and finish is perfect. It comes with a remote that has three fan speeds, a stop and a reverse for the fan and on/off/dimmer switch for the light.
