Nowadays there are so many new ceiling fan brands in the market like alpha, rezo, deka, silenz n others .

Kdk and Panasonic are still the less problematic brand ?

Any recommendation for better reliability and less problem ?

Deka 5 year motor warranty , other brand max 2 year saja

I bought panasonic bayu remote controlled
2024 still no memory function
Everytime switch on from wall it will default to middle speed
Very annoying need to reach for remote everytime

KDK 5 blades, 10 yrs but now speed 1 capacitor koyak, replacement parts can be found in lazada/shopee

I bought alpha, but the 5 blades one, vannus, not the designer one. seems pretty good the airflow

stick to pana kdk

d*k* give you 10 year warranty also no use

I use only KDK.

Share your story

Using Alpha DC fans for my house so far no issues

KDK for hassle free

Just sharing my experience. When I bought an apartment 9 years ago, ceiling fans that I bought, all KDK, the remote type. The most used ones (Living Room & Master Bedroom) slowed down on 8th year. Change the capacitor (hire 3rd party to do), both fans run fast again. Still good for another few years i think.

pana 20 years + no problem. no1 too weak no2 too strong for my old bones.

KDK or Panasonic

DO NOT USE KHIND!

u want remote control or regulator type?
i'm using kdk remote control type. similar to panasonic bayu.
really crappy product. worst purchase ever

Basic fan is just coil capacitor and wall rheostat controller are all the same. No matter what brand, the capacitor will normally go out first. This is due to voltage surge normally. It is less than RM10 part.

More complex one is using remote controller with or with or timer. This has more electronics and more chance components on board to fail including the capacitor above.

The 3rd type is the one with DC speed controller. More quiet, more precise speed control and I think more energy saving (well fan power is not much anyway I believe).

For me, the 1st type can just buy any brand. the 2nd and the 3rd one, chose any known brand. If the board failed, you can easily find on Lazada or Shopee for replacement board. It is usually < than RM100.

Now it is more about how much you want to send on it.

Are there ceiling DC motor fans with wall controller. All my remote controlled fans have failed controllers, not worth it imo but kdk/national rheostat fans still working well, capacitors also not changed for many decades, just need some silicone lube after decades.

Alpha Iriz DC Motor 56' here....

Performance, design all acceptable but I realize the fan got humming sound. Anyone experience the same thing?

At first I tot people doing nyamuk fogging outside but actually my fan. Now I can't barely hear it because the humming frequencies registered to my brain but I'm sure other people can hear it clearly once sit close to the fan.

I know that such product existed because in the West wall control is still popular, In Malaysia, it looks like people like remote control. Maybe you need to pay more for the one that can use apps on the phone to control. Now everything is WiFi.

ewww i second this, mine one are 2017's
