Minka-Aire Fans F812-IO 54" Lineage Contemporary Iron Oxide Ceiling Fan w/ Light, Wall Ctrl & Blades Review

I'm very pleased with this fan.

This fan matches the Mission (Arts & Crafts) style of my home.It's well made and reasonably easy to install.The two wire (plus ground) electric connection means you don't need to rewire a ceiling light (otherwise to control the fan and both lighting sections would require a hard-to-install new multiconductor wire).

It does require a ceiling fan electric box with extra weight capability(~50 lbs), but these are relatively easy to install into a wooden stud ceiling from below (through the octagonal ceiling light box cutout; once you've removed the old lighting ceiling box).Be sure to turn off the breaker for the circuit or get an electrician.

It has a "bracket" that mounts to the ceiling box, and a "ball" on the hanger pipe that allows you to use both hands on the fan to lift the fan in place on the ceiling; much easier than trying to hold the fan in one hand and put a pin in with the other (I don't think I could lift this hefty fan with one hand safely).

The package contained everything I needed, except the fan ceiling box and two 60W candelabra bulbs (use bulbs rated for vibration use).There are two "hanger rods" (short decorative pieces of pipe); one that is "minimum length" (~3.5 inches) and one that is "short" (~6 inches).If you have a sloped (cathedral) ceiling, you'll need a longer pipe.Most big box home improvement stores have the pipes and fan electric boxes.The metal color is described as "iron oxide" which I took to be black when buying the fan, but I would call it more a dark bronze color.

Once installed, you have to "teach" the fan to recognize the wall control switch; it was easy.

It took me about 90 minutes to install and test.

The fan is quiet, three speed and reversible, all controlled at the wall.There are no switches on the fan.Each of the two lighting sections (one above the blades, one below) is independently controllable, with a continuous dimmer.it remembers the last setting.
