We love the sleek look of this fan, which is a good option for any room, but it’s especially nice to see that its installation process is quick and straightforward. Instead of requiring you to screw each blade into place, it snaps into the center console. The fan is also smart home compatible and integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, although you’ll need to purchase a hub separately.
Unlike older fans, which typically have just one blue and one white wire that you need to connect to corresponding wires in the light fixture, newer models often have plastic modular connectors that plug right into their mates. However, you’ll still need to follow the directions carefully to ensure that the wiring is correct.
The motor comes with a reversible downrod, but if you want to install it in an angled or vaulted ceiling, you’ll need to buy a longer downrod. We recommend a minimum of 16 inches, but up to 32 or more is possible.
If you’re installing a fan in a small room, this compact unit might be the best choice. It’s relatively quiet even on the highest setting, and its minimal design won’t take up a lot of space in your ceiling.
This model is a great choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly ceiling fan that you can control with your smartphone. It has a simple interface that lets you set the light mode, adjust brightness, and set the fan speed with just a few taps. It’s also damp-rated, which means you can install it in an outdoor covered space.
