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

same as my Mitsubishi Electric, every time defaults to speed 3. suprisingly my Alpha fan remembers the speed.

I changed the capacitor for my fan once, bought the caps and soldered. I'm not a pro, so it took me a long time to unsolder the old caps and redo. total cost below RM20. Worth my time ? Nope.


Do you have the contact for the 3rd party to do it and how much he charged you?

Replacement PCB for Alpha costs around RM120 4 years back. If someone can change the caps for 1/2 the price I might just ask someone to do it.

You can whatsapp the number and follow the instructions once the staff replied and set appointment for them to come over to your house.

They charged me RM90 per fan. I recall the duration to repair around 15-20 mins per fan

At first I thought of replacing the fans altogether but when I saw such service, triggered me to give it a try. At the end, RM90/fan is not bad at all. Fans got back up to speed.

in your opinion does panasonic and kdk same except the outlook?

Pana got lemon model. worth to pay the few bucks more.

buy deko if u hate urself.

Kdk fans always got sound after a while

got it thanks bro..

Kdk using since 20 years ago when I moved in

KDK is my go to option in Singapore.

In Australia, I don't bother with ceiling fans - all use pedestal fans

Is Alpha better than KDK nowadays ?

Went to few lighting shops, all salesman recommended rm4xx and above alpha n they even said cheap stuff does not come with good quality.
So if you want long lasting better buy expensive model.

So I think I will just grab kdk cheaper AC model for piece of mind.

Not really. But their 42" easier to install if u alr have a hook ready. KDK baby fan is bit complicated.

KDK RM4xx model (Vtouch Jr or Sensa 4) still the best reliability.

Brand is one thing, size is another.

I'm looking at 60" and above now to replace the deca in my living.

Just buy an entire new PCB if you don't want to solder individual capacitors

Yep that's what I did. I bought a new pcb for one of my other alpha fan.

I just did soldering once, just for the fun of it and it worked.

That is really .... outstanding! At least you tried first, and then you can now decide for sure if you want to do it again with the experience.

KDK Panasonic too expensive now.

I asked this before in another group on behalf of my bestie la..byk jugak commented on KHIND especially on the motor technology etc
TBH..all pasal technology etc tu I x faham sgt la but mainly attracted to their 50% energy saving dan warranty tu..sampai 5 thn..lama jugak warranty tu..

yg brand dari China tu byk jugak yg murah..tp x confident to beli la sbb if rosak..nak hantar kat mana pulak utk repair..
also ckp je ada warranty tapi bila dah rosak..suruh hantar balik utk repair..kos hantar balik tu mahal jugak..
sbb tu la sy suggest bestie utk beli KHIND sbb ada warranty dan service center kat KL..senang nak hantar utk svs

Warranty on motor is useless tbh. Very rare motor will rosak.
That is why manufacturers dare to warranty so long. Also warranty on parts only u still need to pay technician fee.
If rosak is bad luck lol.

Oh really..so the motor all tahan lasak la hahaha..
Anyway ada warranty is better than x de kan

Give 5 year every few months also rosak what for. After 1 year I throw the shit and buy kdk

Either u get a super lemon unit , or user problem . I got 7 bijik deka , 4 still alive till now ( no warranty ) 3 bijik dead after warranty finish ( my rental unit one idk how tenant use it ) .

KDK

Yea this one jimat 50% bcs ada BLDC motor which also allows low noise operation so takdelah bunyi bising krek krek yang annoying tu. This model tak silap ada led light sekali, so nicelah 2 in 1, kipas dapat, lampu pun dapat. Warna pun macam2 ada, tak limit to white/black, so good option to those yang tengah cari kipas siling 😉

Ya good choice la..50% saving tu dah attract my attention haha...
TNB naik harga so all also kena jaga2...

Mine house 4 Deka remote type, all die after 6-7 years.
Change to Rezo & Pana, just baru 1 year, Rezo die & claim warranty, few mnth later it start making noises, now every night Free white noise to sleep
Pana still doing okay

Next time I will just try Alpha, KDK or Pana, No more Deka & Rezo for me

thanks for this thread...I am looking to buy 3 new ceiling fans... after 3 DEKA fail/making noise after not even a year of usage

Usha fans from India, after 15 years no problem, I shifted house and left it behind.

next week gonna install 5 units of alpha DC LED fans. hope it will last long.

recommend ceiling fan with light for small room..
currently using deka baby ceiling fan..
due to small room, light not enough..

Stick wif Pana or KDK

I bought 5 Deka fans for my rental unit...2 already have problem after warranty over. Have to pay for 60 bucks to repair each.

Panasonic and KDK. Have few Deka and the likes, the construction and design is garbage if you are the one who install them. Panasonic and KDK at most just the capacitor need change after few years. Simple aspect like wire gauge size, crimp, electronics routing, bolts and nuts size and quality, the mechanical built quality can't go close to Panasonic and KDK.

i looking for 5* rated stand / pedestal fan. i found one from Pana.

Others got ? Khind one shop put 5* but website no info...

After decades of faithfully with KDK.

Maybe I change to Panasonic.

Cabut...same thing

KDK
