Minka-Aire Light Wave 52" Ceiling Fan in White Finish - F844-WH

RedmamaRedmama: My interior designer chose this fan for our family room. We really like it. It gives gives plenty of air, is sleek looking and doesn’t stand out. Our ceilings and walls are white and that’s what we were going for. We have had this fan for just shy of a year now and always wondered why the remote control seemed like it had a dim the light option but never found it to work that way. I finally emailed the company ( they have great customer service by the way!) and felt compelled to come back and leave q review along with their response in hopes of helping others. Here is why that they said, “ The light dims in range by pressing and holding down the same button to turn on/off the light to see if it brightens or dims to your liking. Thank you kindly.”

Alas! The lights do dim!!

You won’t be disappointed in this fan. Should you have any issues, email them with a copy of your receipt ( so they know what you purchased) at fantech@minka.com

Marissa T.: After replacing all the light fixtures in my house, I thought the obvious next step was the heinous, low-hanging living room ceiling fan (my house was flipped before I bought it with some interestingly modern taste). My ceiling is low so I ordered the 3.5" down-rod, which worked, but was a PAIN to install. First, as other reviewers have said, the receiver should be pre-wired and built into the unit. It barely barely fits into the canopy with all the wires, caps, hanger ball, and housing. Took me several evenings of taping up and bending wires so they're out of the way but still under the canopy. The manual is vague and the images are not detailed enough for a smooth assembly/ installation for first-timers. Some online videos help, but still don't give some of the detail you need to be successful (like precisely how to put the hanging ball on the down-rod, hint: rubber mallet!). Plan on several hours of tinkering and attempting to understand the installation instructions. If you use a short down-rod, its impossible to use a screwdriver to install the canopy and canopy cover because of the conical shape of the motor cover. I improvised and used some pliers to turn...

Jan M.: Sleek design is beautiful. Bought the 52" fan in white for our 12x17' bedroom and it is the perfect size. Whisper quiet, moves air well, various settings and light kit has adjustable brightness. Easy to install except the receiver didn't work when we first installed fan. Minka Aire tech support worked very courteously with us and it took two tries, but the third receiver we got works perfectly. If this happens to you, don't give up -- call Minka Aire to get a working receiver because the fan is wonderful. Quietest ceiling fan we've ever had.

ssaslow: 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,...
