For less than you’d spend on a fan at a department store, this model offers surprisingly substantial air movement for its price. The motor is super quiet, too—even on its highest setting. During testing, it didn’t budge or shake, and it fit tightly in place on our test ceiling without leaving gaps where dust could settle. In exchange for its low cost, the manufacturer did have to skimp on the materials, and this is noticeable in how lightweight and somewhat cheaply made it feels when compared to the other fans we tested. In addition, the unit doesn’t include a remote control, so you’ll have to use a pull chain or wall switch to turn it on and off.
A sleek, minimal design makes this model a standout in our tests for its modern look and versatility. It’s easy to set up, and the blades snap right into the center console. It also comes with a 4-inch down rod for flat ceiling installation and is compatible with angled ceilings, although the hardware you’ll need to install it in an angled space is sold separately.
You’ll find the best value in this ceiling fan for small spaces, thanks to its quiet operation and impressive airflow. Its reversible blades and smart breeze mode help reduce energy costs, too. During the day, you can program the fan to automatically shut off and restart at certain times, while you can also access its preset temperature settings using your app.
