QUOTE(ceo684 @ Mar 31 2022, 12:10 AM) KDK Sensa 4. Sensa 5 is 60", cost more. Sensa 4 should "exceed expectations". Its #1 is kinda slow for me (it has 9 speeds), usually run on 2 or 3. NOT running the fan at full speed 24/7 all the time like in classrooms will prolong its life. Any idea how long these fans can last? |

I would give no less than 10 years. My Panasonics which is basically KDK is already more than 15 years. |

Element14 sells good ones. Bearing wear n tear at 10-20yrs point and depends on your speed - max speed max wear. |

I need some advice for buying fans in rental units. What do tenants prefer? Remote control or regulator fans? And what about normal steel fans over the abs fans? Are there any difference in preference or am I overthinking?
Thanks in advance.

If I'm tenant and landlord so nice allow me to choose, I will choose those fancy and expensive type. Who cares since not pay by me? Well if I'm landlord, I would just install those regulator type which easy to take care and can last longer.

Buy those that are long lasting with less features as long it serves its purpose..... you will have less headache dealing with tenants over quality issues and missing / damaged remote. |

The problem with remote type fan: 1) Battery corroded/leaked inside compartment damaging the remote 2) Speed regulator is on board inside the fan. The capacitor that control the speed will give up after 5~10 years and probably about RM60~80 to get it fix. Part is only around RM6. Regulator type easy to access and is cheaper to just replace the whole thing  |

Anyone has experience with short and long pipe fans? I roughly measured the fans at home now are the "long pipes" dimension, its the KDK metal blades. It does show some shadows on the upper side of the walls. There's one unit of Sensa 4 short pipe, which doesn't have the shadow on the upper side of the walls (its the same room size). So what are the cons of going short pipe? Pros is that I can reduce the shadows, cons? Wind power and all? The Sensa 4 was damn powerful though. Ceiling height is 10.5'  |

Per my intuition (I have no education, mind) short pipe leaves less room between fan blades and ceiling ---> less air intake ---> less wind. |

I thought so, though the short pipe at my place Sensa 5 wind is ample power even at lower speed. But Iโm comparing AC long pipe against DC short pipe la ๐
Donโt have a DC long pipe at home to compare. |

KDK and Panasonic is made by the same manufacturer. I own both. Both got problem with the circuit board (capacitor kaput). Replaced both and they are identical.

Hi, I am looking for KDK/Panasonic ceiling fans for my living, dining and master room.
Should I get 4 or 5 blades type? I saw earlier post, some mentioned 4 blades give more wind circulation

Sometimes is not the motor. It's the rattling sound of housing that covers the fan mounting shaft to the ceiling. Happened to one of my KDK 4 blade. Quick solution is by taking it off and the sound goes away.
Funny thing is that, after few months, I still left it like that even it's not aesthetically pleasing lol
