Minka-Aire Sundowner 54-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish W/ Dark Maple Blades - F589-ORB

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the MinkaAire Sundowner Fan in the style F589-ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze with Dark Maple Blades. It is an indoor/outdoor model with five 54-inch blades. We purchased a mounting bracket to install the fan on our back patio. We live in Southern California, so this fan will be much more appreciated in the very hot summer months. This comes packaged very nicely. One thing that I will say is that the outer packaging doesn't necessarily reflect the item that is in the box. If you were purchasing this in-store, you will need to look on the end of the box to see which color/style is selected. There are seven other finishes/color styles to select from. I imagine there may be many returns if someone is not paying attention to what is on the box. The items inside the box were packaged neatly. One thing to be watchful for is the tiny hitch pin. It was loose in the plastic covering with the motor. I would recommend this being packaged differently to prevent loss of this important piece. The all-weather blades are poly molded and ABS components. The blades are smooth on one side and have a wood grain texture on the underside that is visible. The motor itself is sort of heavy, and it helps to have an extra pair of hands to assist with installation. I would recommend installing four of the blades prior to hanging the fan. You can purchase a light assembly or remote separately. Once we had the fan installed, we turned it on. There are three fan speeds with the pull chain. Even on the lowest setting, the airflow was significant. The fan didn't require any balancing, even though parts are included just in case. A quiet, smooth-running fan that will keep us comfortable all year long. Our back patio certainly received a much-needed upgrade. We may have rain today, but we look forward to enjoying our cool outdoor space thanks to MinkaAire. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This indoor/outdoor ceiling fan looks great and performs even better. The design is sleek and modern, making it a nice upgrade for any space. It has three speed settings, all of which move a surprising amount of air without being noisy. Even on the highest setting, it's powerful yet impressively quiet. It's probably more of an outdoor fan since it doesn't have a light but we put it indoor and it's performed great (and feels solid and well made). Overall, it's a great combination of style, performance, and quiet operation.
