Minka-Aire F843-DK, Wave, 52" Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, Distressed Koa

We have three fans in the house, an Artemis, this Wave and a Westinghouse Solana. I would rate the Solana very low on the scale even though its only 50-60 dollars less than the Wave. There is just no comparison between the Wave and the Solana, in every category noise, looks, design, craftsmanship, etc except for lighting which the Wave lacks. I originally got the Solana for the master, but it was too loud and the air flow was too weak. Apart from the lower air flow which is understandable for its size and blade count, the fan is noisy with high levels of blade noise and motor whine. I decided to gamble again on the Wave. It's very similar to the Artemis fan, which we also recently bought and installed so I have a very high bar to compare the Wave against. Oh btw, the Minka Aire included remotes are fairly thin and modern looking. It wouldn't look out of place on the table. The remote on the Westinghouse on the other hand looks like something you'd find from the 80's. It's these little things that are not important but they add to the value imo. The wave is just as well made as the Artemis which costs over two times more, but it lacks features such as no light, no auto reverse on the motor. However it more than makes up for that with its price, looks, and high level of performance. It moves a lot of air and all around is very quiet. At high setting the wind noise is audible but it's not annoying, more like a low hum underneath the fan blade noise. I suppose it is hard to separate the two when the all the air moving around you is moving very well. The Artemis on the other hand is barely noticeable. I would rate the Artemis a 10 easily and the Wave as an 8. When we consider the price difference, the Wave is a winner. You get most of the qualities of the Artemis at little more than a third the cost.

Great fan. Silent, good looking and moves a lot of air

Easily replaced the 20 year old fans and transformed the room with this gorgeous looking piece of very functional "art" that is well constructed and works great!

Beautiful, works well.

This 52" ceiling fan is by far our favorite of all the fans in the house. It moves a lot of air and is well made at a reasonable price. The most important thing to us in a fan is ease in installation, and quiet operation once it is installed. This fan surpassed our expectations! It is wonderfully quiet, and moves air like no other. We also love the fact that there is a remote control for this fan and we use it frequently. It has three speeds and operates quietly on all three. It has a beautiful Koa like wood design and looks classy in the living room. It does not come with a downrod or light installation kit, but we love the design so much and we prefer lamp lighting in a living room any way. We have been using this fan daily for two months and it is as quiet today as the first day we installed it. We would highly recommend this fan and are considering getting another!

Needed to replace a 25 year-old hunter fan in our sunroom. The big box store fans are just about as bad as they can possibly be anymore so I went searching online and found Minka Aire. The styling is just out of this world. The installation was very straightforward, although not very easy. It is dead stock still as it spins and puts out a good deal of wind. I really couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase.

UPDATE: Seller is sending replacement remote/sensor (this was not a Seller problem but a manufacturer problem). DISLIKE - Remote/Sensor does NOT seem to work! I tried replacing the battery with a new one, and I tried changing its frequency (followed instructions in manual) four times, and the fan would not start. I took the remote/sensor out of the installation, and changed out my on/off wall switch to an on/off wall switch w/slider dimmer (per seeing that others had stated this fan can run off them). UPDATE - For safety and to make sure the motor isn't damaged, I replaced the wall dimmer switch with a ceiling fan switch designed for 3-speed fans having no light (Lutron/Hampton Bay model 750 450 available at Home Depot for $12.97). Fan works great!!! LIKE - Style of fan, its 3 blades move ALOT of air, NO wobble (and my install was on a slanted ceiling), is quiet (but I noticed, in my case, this was wall switch dependent, hum with dimmer switch no hum with wall switch designed for 3-speed ceiling fan). Its on an enclosed porch. This model is the one with no light (which is what I wanted). I've installed many ceiling fans (Hunter, Harbor Breeze, Middleton), this is the first one I've experienced a problem with.

My last one suddenly died and this one is perfect. Had the other for over 5 years. Sleek and quiet.

This was essentially the largest fan with no light we could fit into our conservatory sunroom. Rather expensive, especially with exchange and customs duties, but it is beautiful, quiet and very energy efficient.

A nice looking and efficient fan. It developed a small squeaking noise after about a month in use.
