(More customer reviews)I purchased these fans as I'm 6'2", ceilings are 8' and they seemed to be the fans with the blades closest to the ceiling so I don't lose a hand while I'm getting dressed in the morning. We purchased 4 of these fans, as well as another model from Minka Aire. Compared to the other model of Minka Aire (purchased from Restoration Hardware), these are much easier to install. They have not wobbled, move air nicely. They light is perhaps not the most attractive, but it lights the room well. The base of these fans are larger than other fans, and may appear bulkier towards the ceiling.
However, it is a bit more complex than a screwdriver and electrical tape to install, as another reviewer mentioned. The ceiling fan has to be secured to the ceiling in an appropriate fashion, either attached directly to a ceiling joist, or through brace b/n the ceiling joists. (westinghouse Saf-T Brace). The person installing it has to have a knowledge of how to attach wires.
After I installed all 5 fans, I noticed that each remote control operated every fan in the house. There was instructions in the manual to avoid remote control interference, but this did not work. I did call the support, who were helpful, but did mention that the instructions in the fans to avoid interference was not clearly written in the manual. How to fix the problem is as follows:
1. turn off the power on the electrical box
2. disconnect the black and white electrical connections on all fans except one
3. turn on the power
4. remove the back piece from the remote control (easily removed) and find ZONE and NUMBER
5. change one combination
6. hold the "stop" button on the remote control for 10 seconds, or until the ceiling fan light will blink twice
7. Now disconnect this ceiling fan's electrical connections, move to the next ceiling fan and repeat the process
