Ovlaim 56 Inch Smart Ceiling Fans with Lights and Remote, 3 Blade Indoor Outdoor Modern Black Gold Ceiling Fan for Bedroom Living Room Patio, 6 Speed High CFM Quiet DC Motor

Like:- The DC motor. I plan never to buy a unit without one. They are silent and powerful and use much less electricity. The Energy Star rating on this shows $4/year for electricity.- The unit is well designed, and relatively easy to install. But plan on at least an hour. And having two people really helps. If your ceiling isn't set up for a fan the prep will be the big part of the installation. If you aren't confident as a DIYer or aren't just replacing another ceiling fan, you might want to hire a professional.- Six speeds, choice of light color. We use 4000K lighting through the house and can set this to 4000K.- The light is plenty bright.- The 1H, 2H, 4H and 8H timer buttons. I hope they work. I will find out later today.Dislike:- Even though the fan is in a room that is 22x26, it is unlikely that we will need to use anything other than the lowest of six settings. Setting six would be more appropriate to power an airplane than move air in a room, or maybe just to be able to advertise the power of the fan. So keep setting six as it is, but dial down the other settings, making the current setting 1 the new setting 2.- To change the temperature (color) of the light, you have to press the light ON button, then OFF button, then ON button until you get your choice of the three colors. I should just be able hit the light button again, without turning it off each time. Or better yet, just have a switch that has the three lighting temperatures settings on it so you can set it and leave it.- The light can't be dimmed using their setup out of the box. I am not sure if it wold be possible to set the light portion on a dimmer switch, but it would require some additional electrical know-how or willingness to taking a risk with trial and error.- The advertised distance from ceiling to bottom of the light are wrong. Try 14" rather than the 9.4" advertised, using the short extension. The 8000 degree K light color temperature is also wrong. I think they just added 3000K + 5000K to get 8000K, but that is not how it works. The third setting 'full light' (which appears to be the same brightness) matches our other 4000K lights.- The company label, proudly displayed, did not match my taste. Fortunately it is just glued on and can be removed.- The 1H, 2H, 4H and 8H timer buttons, while a nice feature, give no indication that it is set to timer other than a beep with initially pressed.- Using the controller is a bit of a guessing game (or maybe the instructions tell you how to do what). I used instructions for installation, but assumed that the controller should be easy enough to figure out without reading a manual.Yes, with all the dislikes, I still gave it 5 stars. I really like the fan and can learn to live with the flaws.

Installation instructions not great as other reviewers stated, but once installed, a VERY quiet and smooth fan. Really the quietest (ceiling fan I’ve ever had. The lighting and remote, however could use some functionality improvements:1. Every button press makes a beep. Turning on makes a beep. Why all the annoying beeps? Need a way to turn that off. Ironic that such a quiet running fan makes so many nuisance beeps.2. Why do these LED lights cycle through the different lighting temperatures? Do people really want different lighting every time they turn it on and off? I like the idea of having a choice, but to cycle every time you turn off and on is annoying and makes it seem cheap.3. The globe is cheap plastic, reminds me of a disposable milk jug. Nice and light, but makes the light seem cheap. Glass would be nicer.With some remote feature improvements, could be even better. But if you want a quiet fan with 6 settings, and don’t care about cheap LED strip-type lighting, and are handy wrt installation, this is for you. For $150, I personally expected better.

I've installed 2 of these in the last week. What I like: sleek, modern look. Very quiet operation. Moves a lot of air. Good range of light color and brightness. Easy to control from both the remote control and the phone app. What could be improved: I found the best operational choice to be to leave the wall switch always on and to control the fan from the remote control. I actually used the phone app from a different brand of similar fans that I already had. Choosing Manual Pairing/Small Appliance/WiFi Fan worked every time. As with most ceiling fans, the fit is pretty tight. A right-angle screwdriver really helps with the shroud screws and tucking all the wires in around the remote sensing/power converter unit is a bit of a challenge. I succeeded by tucking as much of the AC wires back up into the box as possible and coiling the fan wires and tucking them under the sensing/power unit.

I hardly ever give 5 star reviews but I figured if I give a bad review for a bad product then I should give a good review for a good product. I was more than pleasantly surprised after my husband and I put this fan up. It was easy to assemble and really lightweight. I was skeptical about getting a white fan with a white ceiling but when I see it up and spinning I'm pretty glad I got the white. The 4 blades make it look modern and stylish. I was also skeptical about the LED lights but I was really happy with the amount of light that bad boy puts out. And the wind, OMG! It's wonderful. Exceeded my expectations. And so quiet. We didn't even have to balance it, it just goes and stays pretty level, no wobbling. The remote beeping is a little annoying but for the pros that the fan has, we decided we can deal with the beeps. Figuring out how to start the fan with the remote was also a little tricky but we figured it out and are really happy with the look and the performance. We will see how long it lasts.

I was not sure how the quality would be as this is not a well known brand and not all that expensive. But, I really like how it looks and how it works. The contractor said he was very impressed with the ease of putting it in and how efficiently it worked. I think he was going to buy one for his house!

I tried three different smart phone to connect this fan, all to know avail. These fans look good but are worthless and has caused me hesitancy in buying another smart fan.

Pro:+ contemporary looks and design+ matte black color+ quiet DC motor, save energy and $ in the long run+ good wind speed+ dimmable light, light color adjustable, good brightnessCon:- bad installation instruction, bad grammar (should be revised by someone with good english)- light can not completely off (there is still a very dim light after turn it off with remote)
