To get fans with lesser blades is true. 5 blades definitely need more energy to drive, it takes up more power or needs stronger motor to drive the fan. So, having more blades should not be slower rotation.

Ever read from the web that the lesser the # of blades, the more air a fan can drive. Meaning that 4 blades can move more air than 5 blades, 3 blades can move more air than 4 blades.

if that is the case, why is it so that 5 blades are recommended for living room and 3 blades is good enough for bedrooms? i am confused!

I am not a fan expert Just sharing with what I saw from the web.

Is the recommendation reliable? From the shop? Or from the fan expert?

I saw the info from this website, take a look and gauge yourself

yokine9a,

Thanks for the great info!

No problem

I've got a quick question for everyone. Our ceiling fans just got mounted and when I turned them on, at level 1, it was ok (not much sound). But the moment it got to level 2 and 3, wah, **** loud! As in, you can clearly hear the "whirring" noise. Is this normal?

My fiance say perhaps the noise is louder because our home is still empty (renos still on). Should I change to a "quieter" fan? I have a three blade.

Hi I am thinking of installing Fanco Aroma, but will the remote (on/off) and wall switch serve as a double switch? ie I want to turn the light on and off from both the remote and wall switch

I find it inconvenient to search for remote all the time. But my wife wants the remote.

Any comments?

you can switch on/off the light from both the remote and the switch

but the fan from the remote only

Based on my research on ceiling fan, KDK is one of the best. But too bad it has limited choices for HDB and design too plain.

Other 2 brands recommended by most people are Fanco and Crestar.

Apparantly, my 1 year plus old fanco have failed me since my son played the nintendo wii & accidently swing the pull string over the top of the fan, causing it to slow down abruptly. Though it still works, the speed of the fan have been drastically reduced even though it's on speed3. Tried servicing it myself but to no avail.

It was a pretty good fan i must say, so just a word of caution is to be careful of the pull string (for adjusting the speed) to be stowed away if you intend to have any form of moving around under the fan.

I'm looking into replacing this fan & get another. May try out other brands..

why not get the fanco people to come down and service it?

thought motor warranty is lifetime?
