Aviator Smart Flush Mount Ceiling Fan

Once installed the fan seems very nice. Remote control plus wall control is great and unit can be operated by app. The install was very difficult due to 2 issues: first the instructions are very poor and do not at all approximate how you assemble the pieces-indeed a metal disk that mates the fan blades to the motor is not even shown or described in the parts. Second: The process of mounting the assembled fan to the supplied base plate is physically demanding and involved placing 4 small screws into the base plate/fan housing while you are holding the entire fan (around 35 to 40 lbs) to the ceiling. The base plate was not well designed to accommodate this mating process. I did call customer support and the person I spoke with confirmed the suboptimal accuracy of the included instructions. If you are not fairly skilled at handyman tasks and do not have a helper with the process of mounting to the ceiling: be advised.

I now have four Modern Forms fans. Three of them are Aviator Smart Flush Mount fans. Pros: They are awesome fans. They are well built. They are quiet. The fans work well with the Android App (I haven't tried the iPhone app) as long as you don't have multiple subnets. My phone needs to be on the same subnet/Wi-Fi for some reason to operate these fans from the app, which I do not have to do with the rest of my smart/IOT devices. In the app, you can group fans together so they can be controlled all at the same time, which is nice. I would recommend these particular fans, as long as the consumer understands the cons I've listed below. Cons: The Modern Forms customer support is absolutely horrible. They don't respond to emails at all, except for the auto response that you receive (trust me, I've tried over ten times). Even their phone support is horrible. They don't want to honor their warranty or help you in any way. Lumens, however, has been good. They have picked up the slack where Modern Forms has failed. It takes a while (a couple weeks overall) to go through warranty issues with them, but I've had two so far and Lumens has helped me get things resolved. Also, the wall control is kind of cheap feeling. If you push on the buttons too hard, you might break it. Thankfully, I believe many smart switches out there should work with these fans if you are up to the task of getting everything connected. Also, from my experience, not all Modern Forms fans are built as well as the Aviator. I also have a Woody 60" and it just feels cheaply built with poor quality control compared to the Aviator fans.

Love this fan. Faux finish on the distressed koa blades looks very good. The fan motor is silent. The only noise is from the air movement and then only on the highest speeds.

We have received many compliments on the fan. It has been placed under a pergola so we will see how well it holds up thru an Ohio winter. So far its great!

I have purchased this fan for my own home as well as for a couple of my design clients. Everyone has been really happy with them. I had a certified electrician do the installs, and no issues were reported.
