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.

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.

I purchased this fan for the retro look and small size. I turned my condo dining room into my office space. It measures 8x8x8. So I was limited on the size and styles. My first liking to this fan was the retro look, then the size and the excellent reviews. I'm a weekend do-it-yourself handyman and found it very easy to install. The fan circulates air very well on low speed and makes very little noise. The fan is a little pricey, but as the saying goes- You get what you pay for. I'm happy with the quality and warranty on this product.

the fan is so cute, it looks great in my kitchen and so quiet, unit delivered as promised. i'm very happy.

Most of it is already put together and so installing it was very easy. Without any experience hanging a fan, it took me much less than one hour from start to finish. It has been working very well for our space and makes no noise, even at lower speeds where some cheaper fans can have a pronounced hum.

About a year ago we purchased two Minka Aire fans. This Concept II and the George Kovacs Cirque fan. They were very easy to install and we have had no problems with them at all. They work great, they are quiet, and the designs are fantastic. I would recommend this fan. I am going to be buying 3 more for our bedrooms. The Concept II is great in rooms with lower ceilings.

A superb product with excellent design. Much sturdier, durable and professional-looking than big box fans. Nearly silent at the lowest speed. Excellence in materials, design, durability. The light and remote control with wall mount are added bonuses. For those who don't wish to install the light, a heavy metal cap is included that can replace the glass light cover. 5+ stars.

A great ceiling fan, easy to install in spite of the heavy weight .It gives a very contemporary look to any room, and match pretty well with non contemporary designed room

We have an old 3-level townhouse with very low ceilings. Even though we recently purchased a new Trane air conditioning unit, the top floor remained warm. While renovating the hallway, we discovered a ceiling fan would be optimal in helping to circulate the air on the entire floor.

Our first purchase was the Hampton "Andross" fan from Home Depot. My husband, who is very gifted with carpentry and electrical installs, worked for hours trying to balance the blades and increase air flow. We lived with this fan for one week hoping it would get better but it didn't. Horrible fan. Noisy, wobbly, and no moving air. The price was cheap and that's the product we got. Returned it.

THIS MINKA FAN IS INCREDIBLE! Easy install. No blade balancing needed. Zero noise. It really moves the air! Perfect for the hallway. Noticeably helps to keep the top floor cooler. Works as a great companion to the air conditioner.

Thank you Minka! What a relief. ... Oh yeah. Looks great too.

It's a little pricey, but it's a statement peice. This is the center of attention for our guest room, and we always get comments on this fan. It's very quiet too. Just love the contemporary look. (We didn't install it, but our contractor said it was pretty easy.)
