Sofucor 52 Inch Ceiling Fans No Light-Outdoor Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, Modern Wood Ceiling Fan Without Light for Bedroom Indoor Patios Farmhouse,Reversible DC Motor,Brushed Nickel&Natural Wood

This is an update to my original review which I have updated again due to a battery problem with the remote. The first fan developed a bearing noise within the return window so I requested a direct replacement from Amazon. What a difference! Sofucor must source this item from a number of manufacturers as these were very different fans. The new wood blades were not countersunk and the attaching bolts were long enough as-is (photo attached). The remote and receiver were different. The new model is reversible (which is what I expected from the first fan shipped) and the remote looks completely different (photo attached). It also uses a special A23 battery instead of two AAAs (the included 23A battery lasted only a few uses twice now so I've asked the manufacturer to replace just the remote - in the mean time, I am removing the battery when not using it). Another extremely positive point is that if the fan is turned off at the wall switch, it returns to its last setting when power is restored. This means if an overnight power outage occurs, you won't have a ceiling fan light come on unexpectedly. I have no idea how to tell in advance that you will get the better engineered fan. The new one had a sticker Zhongshan Kebaishi Electric Appliance Company on the motor housing (photo attached) which the original did not have. I did communicate my issues with the company. Having learned from my first installation, I assembled the fan on the ground rather than working vertically (photo attached). The printed installation manual was a bit easier to read BUT still differs from the physical fan design. The wiring is different from the first fan but all wires were clearly labeled and the diagram at the back of the manual is easy to follow. I also shared an idea that the short screws for the light fixture make it very difficult to line up the light with the bottom of the fan properly. I found a long version of the same thread in my miscellaneous screw bucket and cut the head off so that it when I slid the light fixture over it and centered the center opening on the fan, the other 2 screws lined up and could be inserted. I then removed my longer screw and finished with the 3rd screw for the light (photo attached). So far I am very happy with this fan. === Original review text follows: The fan is very stylish and runs quietly but the installation was a pain. First, the written instructions use the smallest possible typeface and do not match the installation video either which is animated and equally confusing. The instructions only cover the longer down pole (aka the suspender) which leaves ample room to work. The shorter down pole is much tighter. It isn't clear but don't forget to slip on the magnetic Canopy Cover between the Canopy and the Coupling Cover. The video shows installing the blades before wiring the fan but this would make wiring later much more difficult. Speaking of the blades, they come counterbored with a 1/2" wide circle to recess the bolts and washers. They are not drilled out to a consistent depth. This along with barely long enough bolts means 3 of the 6 bolts will not thread into the motor mount. I carefully used a 1/2" wood drill to slightly deepen the recess but for 1 bolt I had to leave off the washer. The bolts barely clear the top of the blade by 1/8" and should be longer. At least these slight modifications did not cause the fan to wobble which is really good as the generic wobble correction kit and instructions suggest bending the blade mount which is not something that can be done with this style blade. The instructions also show the LED lamp having 2 separate wires and not the plug used now. It is hard to fit but the clip for the plug does face downward. Push the extra wire upward to get the plug enough room to clip in. If it hadn't taken so long to put this up, I would return it but it is working well at this point with a comfortable airflow on Medium. If you turn the fan off at the wall switch it will start up next with the fan off and the light on. I guess the intent is to only use the remote control. When you do start the fan, it starts up in high briefly before switching down to the selected slower speed. I blame myself for looking at too many propeller style fans on Amazon but this one does not reverse direction for winter use. There is not a switch on the side of the motor and the unlabeled button on the remote doesn't do it either.

After almost a year of use I'm still loving this fan. It is super quiet, air flow is so much better than the older ones I had, they are stylish, the controls are simple to use, the lights are very bright but they don't blind you. They are solid feeling and looking. So glad I got them.

Awesome ceiling fan. Very quiet, works and looks great! Much less expensive than my local stores. I purchased this fan to match my antique, danish style coffee tables. This fan is truly real wood. The remote is very convenient and easy to use. Very strong air flow, light weight but sturdy.

Great product, looks great, quiet and easy to install. The only issue is after 3 yrs, the remote receiver in the ceiling fan housing stopped working, making the fan not work. I reached out to their customer support and they promptly responded via email and shipped a new receiver and remote within a week. I replaced it in about 15 mins and the fan is back to working like new. Excellent customer service! I'm

Bought two of these for my beach house. It took my guy about 1.5 hours to put them both up. They look nice and work well. They are quiet and move a good amount of air. The remote is nice too. If they last - this is a great value.

Awesome circulation, easy assembly, perfect size for bedrooms & very quiet even on higher speeds. That being said 1 of the 3 I ordered seems to have an issue I can't find. Hopefully the company will make this right with a quick replacement.

Nice quiet fan easy to install. Remote control works well and didn't have any overlap with other fans. Blades are very light but look good.

Really happy with this ceiling fan overall. It has a clean modern look and the wood blades make it feel a little warmer and higher end than a standard fan. It’s easy to use and has worked well for our family, including kids using the remote. The only thing that took a little getting used to was the slight hesitation when turning it on, but after using it a few times it wasn’t a big deal at all.

We like the fact it’s quiet , just wish it would turn a little slower on one. So far so good no wobble's. I would recommend.

Has so many features it dims. It has three different light sources. The fan is awesome. Just a great product overall.

Looks good, works smoothly, no annoying beeping sound when turning on/off. Small problem when installing the fan blades: the screws wouldn't go in because of paint or burs on the hole threads, I'm not sure. I had to rethread the holes with a hole threading kit (easy but you need the tool to do it). I had other questions about the installation and contacted Sofucor by email, they replied quickly and were very helpful.
