Symbio Ceiling Fan

Nice quality, quiet and moves a lot of air. A little small. Highly recommend.

I purchased This fan for my bedroom. I love the look and the remote control. However, on the medium speeds 3 and 4 there is loud clicking which is very annoying if one is trying to sleep. I have to run it on 1or 2 which is often not adequate or 5 or 6 which almost blows me out of bed and still hear some clicking.

We bought two for a large room. They look really nice, and the lighter weight of the DC motor makes the install easier. Not sure if it is the motor or the remote, but the fan does this odd stutter whenever it starts - go left; no right; no left. Re-programming the remote frequency was easy; the fan learns from the remote. The downside is that they strongly recommend separate control of each fan - so you need an AC power switch which controls fan + light (so you can program them individually) plus a remote for each fan. Kind of a clunky setup for a fairly expensive fan. The biggest problem was that even with purchasing the slope-ceiling kit, the fan is poorly designed for a sloped ceiling. The screws on the junction box must be horizontal, so you can't use a strong mounted box like a saddle-box where the fixture hanger attaches directly to a joist on a sloped ceiling (would work fine for flat ceilings). The electrician had to rip up the ceiling and put in a hanger-strap box, rather than use the existing ceiling-fan rated box. Plus, you cannot use the canopy cover on a sloped ceiling, so you are left with exposed screws which looks sloppy with an otherwise sleek looking fixture.

We bought this for our master bedroom. The look we were going for is modern industrial and this fan complemented the look so well! It's very sleek and powerful! We love Minka Aire fans and this one did not disappoint.
