Tools and Hardware Reviews of Minka-Aire F518-WH 44-inch Concept II Flush Mount Ceiling Fan, White with White Blades
Customer Review: Excellent Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
The fan came packaged very well which from the start gave me a good impression of the quality of this product. The instructions are clear and concise and the quality of materials is good. The fan motor itself is pretty heavy and Minka Aire was nice enough to include a hook on the mounting plate for the sole purpose of hanging the motor during installation..very nice. The blades simply snap in and can be removed if necessary by releasing a hidden catch. The remote control is simple to use and each button makes sense as to what function is being activated . The light output is equivalent to a standard 100 watt bulb but the halogen bulb itself is tiny. (Make sure not to touch the bulb with bare hands because finger oils can cause premature bulb failure.) The light when turned on fades in nicely and on-off brightness can be varied. The fan is very quiet and moves a good amount of air. There does seem to be a bit of noticable fan hub runout on high speed but no fan wobble or vibration. I would recommend this fan.Customer Review: Mika Concept ll fan

Ordered this fan two months ago and am only now having it installed since the remodeled room is done. It's beautiful and powerful and quiet. Those small blades produce a surprising air movement. The light did not work. Do not panic if you have the same problem. Just call Minka and they will tell you what to do to see if it is the fan or what they call "the receiver". For me, it's the receiver. I assume if it was the fan causing the problem, the fan itself wouldn't work also. They are immediately sending a replacement - no problem. The receiver is a cigarette pack sized box with little plug in wires and everything is color coded so simple to remove and re-install. so here is a case where there was a problem, and it's being solved super fast with no questions.Customer Review: A fabulous fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This fan is extremely quiet and perfectly balanced. Additionally, the low speed is lower than I've seen with other fans, which makes it nice for gently moving air. On low, it almost noise free, and on higher speeds the noise is from the air moving, not the motor.
Installation was easy, the remote is nice, and the light dims in a continuously variable manner.
As another reviewer noted, the bulb does not give off tons of light (it can't compare to a 3, 4 or 5 bulb fixture that may have 300 watts of bulbs in it), so if you really need a lot of light that may be an issue. With that said, however, I would buy this unit anyway and find another way to put more light where you need it, since you won't be disappointed with the fan.
Customer Review: Fabulous functional fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this fan installed in my kitchen as part of a renovation in Jan 2007. I love its all-white surfaces because they disappear into my ceiling. All the finishes and the blades are completely smooth, so there are no decorative crevices to get grimy, and a simple wipe down is enough to keep it clean. The remote that comes with it controls every single feature--fan on/off/speed, light on/off/brightness and blade direction. Because of that, you can connect this fan to a simple switch and don't need to have fancy electrical work done to be able to control the light and fan separately. I have several other spots in the house that are going to get this same fan.Customer Review: Easy to install, works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
Our fan just arrived today. After unpacking and reading the instructions and checking all the parts, I finally realized all the wiring was already hooked up in the unit and all I had to do was wire it to the ceiling mount and attach the hub, light, and blades. It was easy but the instructions were confusing because they talked a lot about things that were already completed. Once I realized that, I had it installed in 10 minutes. Works and looks great.Minka-Aire Fans F518-WH 44" Concept II Contemporary Flush Mount White Ceiling Fan w/ Light & Remote
