Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Minka-Aire F518-BN 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan is ideal for low ceilings with a total hanging depth of 10.5-inches, with or without the light. As the name implies, “a taste of things to come,” this hugger fan is simple in style, yet ingenious by design. Housed in a sleek metal body finished in brushed nickel, the 153mm x 15mm spinner motor completes 184/86 rpm on high/low speeds. With a blade sweep of 44-inches, the three concave silver blades are pitched at 14-degrees for efficient air movement. Excluding the lights, the F518-BN has an airflow CFM of 4600 using 40 watts of electricity. The airflow efficiency per watt is 115 CFM. Includes one 100W mini-can halogen bulb used to illuminate the optional integrated light that is shielded by a frosted glass lens or, if the light is not being used, a coordinating solid cap. An RC212 hand held AireControl remote system is included featuring 3-speed fan control in forward and reverse making it suitable for year-round use and can contribute to your seasonal comfort. With the reverse switch, in the winter you are able to move heat from your ceiling and circulate throughout your living area. In the summer you will save energy by the recirculation of air from the outside into your room and also, if your air conditioning is used, save on energy costs. In addition, the remote features on/off switching plus a full range light dimmer with independent up/down light control and is operable at distances of 40-feet. The remote includes one 12V battery and wall holder. This fixture is sold one per package and is listed to UL standards for dry location use in the USA and Canada. At Minka-Aire, we pride ourselves on the quality and workmanship of each and every fixture we produce. From classic to contemporary styling, all our fans have been engineered for superior performance and to provide maximum comfort in even the largest rooms. Minka-Aire, something for every decor and budget.

1.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor! (Buyer Beware!) December 6, 2011

This particular fan has worked out OK for me. BUT!!!

I bought another one of these at about the same time and the unit failed completely within 5 months of its installation. I contacted Minka, who informed me that they would not honor their warranty because the unit was sold by Amazon. (They would, however, give me the repair part numbers so I could buy them. Nice of them, wasn't it?) Now Amazon tells me that they will not honor the warranty because it was sold more than 90 days ago! So I'm out the entire purchase price of this fan....

I find it incredible that Amazon offers goods knowing that the manufacturer will not honor his warranties.

Amazon's business has to be built on the trust of customers who are buying products sight-unseen, and I believe their action here is a violation of that trust.

I'll certainly not be buying anything associated with the Minka name, and having been burned once I'll have to be more careful before buying anything from Amazon that involves a guarantee of any kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am in love with a ceiling fan (?!) August 5, 2007

By atlantagirl

Color Name:Brushed Nickel

I bought this ceiling fan because it has such a low ceiling clearance and we live in a 1947 cottage with relatively low ceilings. I absolutely love it! It doesn't wobble (which is amazing, considering nothing in our house is even, especially not the ceiling), it is super quiet and it brings modern elegance to our living room. It was soooo easy to put together! I am already checking out all (!) the other ceiling fans in our house to see whether we can replace them with that product...(we live in the Southeast, so we have a lot of them....). One of my best purchases for the house, ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, quiet, easy to install March 31, 2007

By Paul

This fan is just beautiful. Very clean lines and it doesn't look old-fashioned like most ceiling fans. It's also very, very easy to install. Three wires connect to the fan from the remote receiver and three to your home wiring. The blades snap right into place and once the plate is mounted to your receptacle box (fan rated of course) the fan goes into place and is held by four screws. There's a little hook on the mounting plate that you can use to hold the fan in place while you make all the connections. I wish every lighting fixture had that.

At low speed you can barely hear it and it seems to move quite a bit of air. It appears to be extremely well built and the fit and finish is perfect. It comes with a remote that has three fan speeds, a stop and a reverse for the fan and on/off/dimmer switch for the light.
