This review is from: Minka-Aire F518-ORB 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze with Taupe Blades (Tools & Home Improvement) I have 3 of these fans. The best ceiling fan I ever used! Easy to install. But, some points for you. It can't be on a dimmer switch, it has its own remote with dimmer. The reverse direction will not work if the wall on / off switch is a dimmer.
Yes the blades are plastic, but you can't tell. This style fan goes with mod / contemporary and antique rooms. very quiet fan, no rocking, I am extremely happy with this fan 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Minka-Aire F518-ORB 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze with Taupe Blades (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this fan/light combo almost 3 years ago and have been very happy with it. It still is very quiet and has very little friction (blades spin long after power is off), so I know it's not using very much electricity to run it. I have the 44" version for a smallish living room and it works great. In fact, I'm using it right now to push the heat from the heater off the ceiling.

This review is from: Minka-Aire F518-ORB 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze with Taupe Blades (Tools & Home Improvement) Really nice product, has a hook to help hold it when installing which was handy for a one person installation.

(no CFLs are available greater than 14 watt that I could find so the level of light output for me requires another lamp in the room). So, this fan needs to be in a relatively smaller room. Remote is simple and easy to use |
