F845-DK Light Wave 44 inch Ceiling Fan with LED Light and Remote Control, Brown Distressed Koa

Recently purchased this fan in a different color (distressed koa) for a bedroom. Installation was easy and the fan worked so well that we purchased a second fan in white for the office. Fans are beautiful and we get multiple compliments on them. We have 3 Minka-Aire fans in total. Remotes can be programmed on different frequencies so they do not interfere with each other. Fan blades come weighed and balanced so the fans are extremely quite even on higher speeds. LED light is bright and lights the room well. LED light is also dimmable and adjusts to your preference. Happy with the purchase. Would purchase again.

These are really cool looking and really move air. I had them (bought 2) professionally installed by an electrician since we we’re already having electrical work done.I am not overly impressed with the remote control other than it does remember the settings from when you last turned it off when you turn it on from the wall switch. I would be thrilled if it could be wired to control the light with a dimmer, and a second switch hard wired to control the fan. Would I buy them again or recommend them? Absolutely YES!Some reviewer have stated that the noise is an issue. Funny thing is that the one installed in bedroom 1 is completely silent except for the sound of wind movement and the on in bedroom 2 has a slight rocking noise at any speed. I’m guessing it’s a “balancing issue”. Luck of the draw I guess. I can imagine some might create a louder rocking noise which would annoy me as well.

I was so excited when I received this fan a couple of years ago. It is beautiful and silent. I liked it so much I bought three more. And one by one as the years passed they all started making noise and it drives me crazy! There is nothing to tighten as can be seen in the sleek design and having to take each one down to determine why it is making noise is not reasonable. Especially when it appears to be a design flaw. Now, no matter the room I am in I am irritated by this purchase. Because it is from Amazon I have no recourse. I will never make a purchase like this again.

Light, attractive ceiling fan with function button for light and air control buttons for speed adjustment. Has remote control, very little noise and is reliable

A lot of pieces to put together. Good thing my husband is handy

We love this fan. It replaced an older Minka Aire and is much prettier and moves air as well or better. The remote is better too, in that the older one had a button on the remote to make it go backwards and someone would hit it by accident from time to time. This fan has a switch on the fan body to reverse. It was easy to hang, directions were easy to understand.

My 3rd Minka. Beautiful quality, stunning look

The good:1. The fan's looks are as advertised.2. The remote works well3. It moves a reasonable amount of air. I'm in a fairly small 10x10 room and the low setting is a very gentle breeze that I can just barely feel. The high setting is a bit ridiculous, but low is perfect.The bad:1. Installation instructions are pretty much useless. I've installed a fair number of fans so I eventually just ignored the instructions and improvised, which worked...but if you're relying on the instructions, be prepared to be frustrated. Note: I gave it 1 star for ease of installation not because the installation was particularly difficult, but because the instructions were so useless.2. The light is horrible. It isn't very bright and since it's integral to the fan (vs. using normal, replaceable bulbs), there's nothing you can do about it. Also, the light pretty much all goes straight down. The old fan that this one replaced had four bulbs which pointed down and out about 45-degrees. The result was more light and light that resulted in the light being more even across the room. With this fan the room is much darker and there are lots of shadows because what light there is all pretty much comes from one place.3. It's loud. I bought this to replace an old fan with an AC motor because the bearings were starting to get loud. This brand new DC fan makes more noise than the old AC fan with bad bearings. The noise is from the motor...it's an annoying hum at about 60hertz. The manual does say to give it 24 hours to break in. I will update my review after 24 hours to report if it has improved.Update: No reduction in hum after 24 hours.Overall a disappointment.
