have anyone been using A11YS - does it spoilt easily? i have no confidence in remote control fan after having bad experience with Elmark (3 ceiling fan broke down just after 1 year warranty).

pls advise if A11YS more durable? in term of remote control / sensor? i heard my friend been using KDK remote control ceiling fan for 4 year+ and none of the component spoilt until now (but it's not A11YS model). desperate looking for durable ceiling fan for hdb bedroom..

I'm thinking of installing KDK ceiling fan in my house but recently, I've went to someone's house who have installed KDK A11YS. Speed 3 can only feel the wind under the fan. If you a bit away from the fan (about 0.5m or lesser), you cannot feel the fan anymore. The house doesn't have any false ceiling or L-box. Probably it's better to get other KDK models.

I have 2 kdk stand fans and 1 table fan in my parent's house, have dropped them, scratched them pushed them around far too often and they are still going strong -_-"

I think they outlasted the renovations.

Personally i feel for ceiling fans speed 1 should typically be only for sleeping or really cold weather when you need a bit of air circulation.

If all 3 speeds are so windy then no variation le mah. =)

i have 3 of the baby fans in each of my bedrooms, and i feel a chill at speed 2 already.... best purchase for my house reno. Frees up the floor space, yet cut down the aircon bills.

i think the ceiling fan has to be a certain distance away from the ceiling in order to be effective right ? thats according to KDK website

How to choose a ceiling fan?

Choosing a ceiling fan location

Fan should be placed in the centre of the room, unless the space is too large and require 2 or more fans for better airflow. For safety reasons, we recommend to avoid installing a fan directly above a bed.

Depending the room size

A large bedroom or living room would require a large ceiling fan (blade length: 56 to 60 inches) to move the air effectively. For smaller room, fan blade length between 44-56 inches will be adequate. However, the size of the fan also depends on individual needs.

Mounting measurements

A ceiling fan needs to be 2.3 – 2.8metres, from the floor, with the blade tips at least 0.6metres away from walls or tall furniture. If you're using more than 1 ceiling fan, do ensure to install them 3 metres away from each other (distance between the downrod).

Ceiling height

Room with high ceiling requires a more powerful fan to promote air circulation. Ideally, a ceiling fan should be at least 2.3 – 2.8meters from the floor.

In situations when the ceiling is extremely high, extension fan down rod can be used. A general formula for calculating down rod length is to take the ceiling height less 2.3 – 2.8metres. Example, if your ceiling height is 3.65metres, after deducting 2.3metres (from the floor), the down rod required is 1metre long.
