Artistic and functional for a good price
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...
Great fan! Well worth the money!
High quality and beautiful fan. Moves a LOT of air. I replaced a 48" 5-blade fan with this one and what a difference! Also, no wobbles and runs very quietly. This fan was easy to install though it took a few extra minutes to attach the fan blades. If replacing an existing fan, check the mounting bracket against the new one (I didn't and the new fan wouldn't fit the old bracket). The Minka bracket is slightly larger. I also found that Inserting the remote unit BEFORE wiring makes it much easier to attach the canopy without fumbling with the wires.
This fan is nicely designed and the Koa finish is great! The blades are trimmed with a tiny line of black which provides more definition and allows you to color in any chipping which may occur while attaching the blades. I would definitely recommend this fan to anyone who is considering purchasing a reasonably priced work of ceiling art.
Attractive Fan
Well made, easy remote to operate but does make slight noise in small room but much better than the one it replaced.
