Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We installed this fan about two months ago. It was fine but occasionally we would smell a fishy odor in the room. It took us a while to figure it out but the smell was caused by the light bulbs burning a flat, white metal/composite(?) plate that was above the light bulbs. There is some foil-backed insulation between the bulbs and the plate but it was charred as well. The smell only occurred when the light was also in use. I talked with Minka but their response was not unacceptable. The person said that although the history of this fixture did show such problems, it was not a safety hazard and had not caused fires(!). I offered to send a photo of the browned plate but he said it wouldn't make a difference in their response. They apparently think that it is perfectly OK and pleasant to smell a fishy odor when the fixture is in use and, much worse, they are willing to take a chance with the safety of their customers. So, we will have to spend money for the electrician to come remove it so we can return it to the store and then pay again to have a new fan installed. Thanks Minka.
