MINKA-AIREF848-DK Light Wave 65" Ceiling Fan, Distressed Koa Finish with Remote and Additional Wall Control

This unique fan looks amazing in our 14x16 master bedroom. We could have purchased a larger size KOA fan, and it would still fit well. It was easy to install and we are still able to use our builder wall light switch to turn on the light/fan then use the remote to change settings. We did not install the wall mount as we preferred the light switch. The remote allows you to dim the light. It gets BRIGHT! I was worried about the fan not having enough brightness, but there is plenty at night! The 6” downrod is just right and the fan does NOT hang down too low. It’s actually a couple of inches shorter in bulk size than our builder grade fan from when the house was built 7 years ago. The fan is quiet, and our installer said Minka fans are amazing. It pushes around air well! It has a crisp, clean look and would look fantastic in any home.

It’s stylish and lends to our tropical vibes. Love the remote, it allows you to adjust the brightness as well as the fan speed. The lighting is nice and warm, it gets really bright. The remote system and bulb are proprietary though so be aware of that.

II installed this over the weekend. It looks beautiful installed and moves a lot of air, especially on high. On low and medium it's dead silent, on high you only hear the air noise coming off the blades but it's not overly loud. Installation is fairly straight forward.

Quiet, high flow, elegant on 24” down rod in vaulted entry. Easy reprogram of signal if conflict with existing fan. Like the wall AND hand remote inclusion for upstairs/downstairs control.

Fan works great, received compliments on the unique design. Only issue is the light, it is more of a spotlight and doesn't fill the room. It is very bright and I have to dim it all the way down so it isn't blinding. I don't use the light too often so not so much of an issue in my case.

Why 5 Stars?1. It moves all the air in a large room, even on lowest speed2. It is nearly silent, even on highest speed3. It’s beautiful to look at, a nice bonusOne negative: it was quite pricey, but I am hopeful that it will last for many years, making the investment worthwhile.

Very nice looking fan. It took a bit of effort for my husband to install, but once it got up there, it looks fantastic. We run it full time in the winter to pull warm air off the vaulted ceilings. Super quiet - we don't even notice it.

I was surprised that the control box is not an integral part of the fan, but a separate component that is installed in the canopy, above the downrod.This would be fine in a new installation, but in my case, I wanted to use my existing canopy and downrod.So, this design won't work for me. Returned it.
