I have checked, both KDK and Panasonic models are around 380mm (around 14 inches) which barely leave 7 ft of space for my 8 ft 8 inches ceiling height.

Any member here has experience or knowledge if it is fine to get these fans?

Also, besides KDK & Panasonic, which alternative brands out there with shorter dimension, excluding baby fans?

Check Alpha. They also have that kind of babay fans. From what I see, their 5 blades fan is generally shorter. I am not interested in Alpha, so I did not check thoroughly. But I have seen them on some of the ceilings, they looked shorter.

wat the difference between 3 blade and 4 blade or 5 blade? The first post say 3 blade will be faster and more air y ppl still wanna get 4 blade?
plz tch thnx

I am only interested in KDK therefore I only checked their spec. K14X8-GY (4 blades) and K14Y9-GY (5 blades) are using different motor. The 5 blades model is having a higher input power (very less difference), the unit is heavier. However, the airflow rate is the same for the 2. 5 blades is more expensive. 5 blades has a higher 'stick'. That is all I know

Just did a quick search. Indeed Beam, Ceiling Fan, and Chandelier above bed is not a good Feng Shui.  sweat.gif

Superstitious belief aside, top beam will direct air to your face when you are lying flat on bed. Fan will blow the air direct to your face. Chandelier will collect dust and consistently drop on your face? Not good for health.

Even 12hr running for 10yrs still can't get back the cost. Assume you save 15w compare normal fan. That is 15wx12hrx365dx12yrsx0.334kw=rm267.

So got to wait many yrs to hope it reduce the price.  sad.gif

haahahahaha...ROI is very very slow...fan might break down before 12 years...and how many of you really use the same fan for 12 years

My fan work 14yrs till now. Slow and steady.

tongue.gif still looking new? Such low ROI is not worth the price. Get the money into the bank for FD and get interest for safest bet. You will get a new fan within 12 years.

1 KDK fan - 290
1 Haiku Bamboo - 1200
Difference - 910

FD interest 3% per year, 900*0.03*12 = 328, assuming that you take out your interest every year. You get a new fan and you still get back that 900.

Calculation salah lar... What your calculation says is after 12 years you only get RM328 based on savings of RM900.
*
Yeah la, what I meant is 900 saving with 328 as interest after 12 years. Calculation condition is that the account holder transfer the interest to his/ her saving acc on the maturity day every year, so that there is no compilation of interest into principle saving. Ease of calculation ma. So hard to comprehand? 328 can buy a new KDK K14Y9 MP with RM50 balance.

Hey guys

K14X8-GY (140cm/56") (RM 295) - Gray  Colour
K14X8-CL (140cm/56") (RM 335) Gold Colour same Spec as above. Anyone know the RM 40 difference. More expensive paint???

At least Panasonic 4 Blade fans have 3 colours to choose from. Got a good price rom TopTen in Puchong for these fans  (KDK gray adn Panasonic) at RM 228 cash and RM 235 Credit card. Anyone knows a cheaper place? Will be making purchase this week any feedback will help smile.gif)

I have been to KL, Selangor, and found that top 10 is at the cheapest price. Others are just a few dollars more expensive. Benchmark the Top 10 price. If the price difference is just rm 2 or 3 in other places, just get it there, no point drive all the way to Top 10 again and to save rm 10 or so.

Yeah. If you have decided to buy there, just pay up front and there will be no shortage in stock the next time they have availability. I have been foot walking in the entire area and they are the cheapest.
