When shopping for a ceiling fan, there is more to consider than just airflow (CFMs) and noise levels. Other specifications such as number of blades, energy efficiency, and whether a light kit is included can also have an impact on the best ceiling fan amazon for your home. To make an informed decision, you need to strike a reasonable balance between all of these factors. In our top 10 list of the best ceiling fans, we do that by selecting models that offer good, but not excessive, performance across a variety of categories.
Household Ceiling Fans
The vast majority of ceiling fans purchased for residential use are household models. These are characterized by four or five wooden blades, a decorative motor housing, and a standard pull-chain switch control for on/off and speed selection. They are usually available with or without a light kit, depending on price and consumer preference.
Many of these fans are mounted using a downrod, a metal pipe used to suspend the fan from the ceiling. The downrod typically ends in a metal bracket, or canopy, that is screwed to the ceiling. The canopy can also serve to conceal the fan’s electrical components, including wires, capacitors, and switches; it can even include a reservoir for the oil that lubricates the motor on fans that require it.
Those with low ceilings will want to consider a mount for their ceiling fan that does not require a downrod or canopy. A wall-mount or flush-mount ceiling fan can be mounted to a wall or other surface, and has a built-in mounting system that holds the fan in place without the need for a downrod. This type of fan is generally the least expensive but also offers the lowest ceiling clearance of all of our top 10 options.
