kianwee , i think the Fan's Balancing is off.... call the Supplier of the Fan & they will re-balance for u .....
my fan brand : AVILL , was shaking & dancing also ... after the contractors installed...i call up AVILL & they came & rectiy it ...

Any idea what did they do to rebalance your fan?

Last time I had a KDK fan that was rebalanced by swapping around some of the blades.

I went to Houses Lighting to get my downlights and other lighting appliances. The light price is cheap. At the same time, the shop owner recommended me alpha fan V8 model. Looks nice but is it durable? It costs RM240 each.

anyone know what brand carries fan with emergency light?

Hmm .. I will only go for either KDK or Panasonic. That's my choice ..
Others with those fancy lights hanging around .. its not worth it.

I think is Alpha model. Not sure the model no.
Can check at their website

ound it...thanks. but no price details. has anyone ever used this before?

Which one is better - Alpha, KDK or Panasonic ? Pricing, After sales services, reliability?

Dont go for Alpha... The remote control very easily get spoiled. Better KDK or panasonic if price is not an issue...

anyone heard elmark before ? their baby fan looks quite nice.

alamak? don't think of other brand, go for pana or kdk. more durable

Alpha's remote easily spoiled ar .... aiyo. but they give 3 years warranty on motor wor.

3 years warranty nothing to surprise...

even the local brand eurouno offering 5-10 years warranty...

nope

in my experience, kdk is not good enough
it does last long, but not long enough

my house ceiling fan have been changed (two unit, diff room)


contrary to your opinion, my grandpa fan (oscillating fan)
last longer. the motor still going strong, so many years until its own neck is damaged due to it age

i have very good experience with panasonic fans - wall and ceiling - so far none have failed (some now almost 10 yrs old). just need occasional regreasing when they squeek - that is all.

on the other hand i have bought some nice alpha metal fans and they cant be used. motor fail and all... they only look nice for display. really regret that i bought two at the same time.

Does that mean that remote control fans are not as reliable?

o shit! I bought 6 alpha fans,booked them during HOMEDEX, already paid all, donno how long can they last.

my personal opinion...

been using KDK at my mom's house since 1984
until now....
no problem at all....
just make sure sometime oil a bit the point where u think my get rusty....
and wipe the dust at it...
thats all....
so far....still in good condition and served us well....
the only prob is the regulator...
but not because of malfunction
the body of it...plastic..after so many years....
it becomes so fragile and broken here an there
we just change the regulator...and that was 5 years ago....

my current Panasonic 5 blades...and 3 units of KDK at my own house
so far so good...
work perfect....maybe because of there are still new...
bought in May 2008....
one of the KDK squeaky a bit last time
simply call the service centre...
they came over and change the blade...
no charge....
maybe because of warranty still valid...

they are from Singapore, not bad the craftmanship but lasting wise not sure.

Going for this Panasonic fan as I wanted WHITE colour and KDK only have grey/champange
While browsing for plaster ceiling lighting came across this shop(YT Lighting) at puchong that has much of other appliance as well.
The sales quoted me RM240 for the panasonic fan(4 blade) ..similar price for kdk(4 blade) also...tot someone told me that pana fan is cheaper ..but its cash n carry price ..bo pien lo ..cheapest already she said ....
How is the price ??Good ka ??Last 2 year i bout the older version kdk 4 blade also same price ,market price around RM270 and above



The top one is WHITE --> Pana is what I am interested with ...sayang KDK dun have white ...if not perfect


My uncle bought this in Pahang also RM270 ....saw RM268 in Top Ten .....ok lah bout same rate



Anyone got cheaper price please share ok
