hi this is an interesting discussion.
we almost bought a vento-melon ceiling fan for 1200 dollars, which was indeed a piece of art.

Eventually, we decided to be more rational and chose something between price and asethetics.
From 2 months of shopping, we worked out a ceiling fan comparison chart showing prices, specifications and performance.

anybody know which fan model has reverse rotation function?

Deka..

Can refer lelong link here

only Deka has reverse?...KDK and panasonic don't have right?

nop...KDK and Panasonic don't have such feature. Not that practical on our climate.

not just Deka...Other brands such as Alpha, Elmark etc......do offer this feature on certain model. But the switch are located at the motor so you have to climb up and flip the switch which is quite hassle. Not sure which model offer this feature on remote control.

My reverse mode is on the remote. The fan will brake and switch its gear (can hear click), then it will go into the reverse mode. Some cheap brand...

I came across Panasonic F-M15H2, with Econavi and Yunaragi function.
Any forumers used these fans before?

It's pretty pricey, ranging from 300~400 per unit.

Is there any advantage of using a fan which can reverse ?

A lot of the nicer looking Taiwan-made ceiling fans with light kits are costing about that range now.
Was told that Crestar, armasco and acorn are all made in Taiwan.

Beside good looking, should look for energy saving too.

Won't feel e wind but air is circulating.

thinking of fixing it upstairs family hall, so that i can blow the hot air up and blow it out

Thanks but I'm avoiding Taiwanese made for now. Seen all of them and none of them interest me.
With the same range, all they provide was extra lights and some 'fancy' design.

I'm looking for fans with temp/human sensor built it and of course reliability

I'm confused..somewhere in d first few pages of this thread mentioned that d less fan blades means it moves faster thus more airflow;
but d last few pages here mentions that more blades means more air is pushed downwards;
cooling effect is important as I can save on air-conditioning lol,so shud I be searching for 3 bladed fan or 5 blades?
also,KDK fans are manufactured by Panasonic?

If can afford buy 5 blade more stable & wind also high. KDK currently under Panasonic. Each others have their own model. Currently i targeting K15Z9 & K14Z9 both model for low ceiling.

maybe you can refer this KDK fans specification table before decide to go for any model

im using a kdk tht was installed like 5 years ago,veri good fan..but my relative who installed a panasonic fan last year sed d fan no good-started creaking ady wor..if kdk n pana samme factory then the quality shud be same rite...aih so kdk quality oso drop ady =(

thanks for d info.rpm is how fast d fan motor rotates rit,so higher rpm means more cooling effect?but wads capacity mean?

last time i have using KDK 5 blade ceiling fan around 7 years no problem at all.

Capacity tab shows the air it produce at its highest RPM and its measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)

Yup....that was "last time" right ? but now i doubt such quality still exist in market.......not just ceiling fans, now most of the home appliances won't last that long already. So those manufacturer could earn more money from consumer again. How could they survive if all their products last so long ?

Sometime buy electrical see lucky also.
