Minka-Aire F524-ABD, Roto, 52" Ceiling Fan, Brushed Aluminum

I have purchased this fan more than once. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of the fan. It works flawlessly. No balancing problems at all. It is so simple in design, you forget it is there. Love it!

I don’t like ceiling fans, at least not the traditional ones with glass flower trumpets holding the light bulbs and large, paddle-sized fan blades. They can be a huge, negative distraction in a room. That’s why this fan’s minimalist, modern design appealed so much to me. It’s a large fan that looks great on a vaulted ceiling with an appropriate-sized down rod. An electrician installed it, and we didn’t experience any excessive motor noise or wobbling at any of the speeds. It also moved enough air to create a breeze so that we could leave the air conditioner at a higher setting and still be comfortable. There may be more functional fans that are better at cooling a room, but I didn’t really concentrate on that aspect of it because it was love at first sight.

Edit 2026, I have two of these fans, one of them is now over ten years old, it is still as quiet and balanced as it was when it was new. These are great simple, high quality fans that don't detract from the rest of the room. Note: If your current fan blade tips are close to your ceiling you need to be careful hanging this one. You may need a longer down rod (available from big box store) to hang this one with proper clearance. The blades sit at the top of its slim motor housing so it was several inches shorter than the old fan I replaced. I needed a longer down rod. The fan is modern, sleek and quiet. It's classy and subdued. Perfect. Wish it came with a remote.

This is a very simple and elegant fan (in silver), that is virtually inaudible and lower speeds, and at higher speeds it is more the sound of the air than the internal motor you would hear. I had no need for lights, and only needed the fan, so this model was perfect. In addition to the fan, I purchased: - 24" down-rod (nearly perfect color match) - Sloped ceiling kit for slopes to 45 degrees. The fan's instructions state that it can be mounted up to a 22 degree slope. As my ceiling is 35 degrees, I ordered the additional kit to be safe. Install was performed by an electrician and it took 2.5 hours from unpack until clean up and leave. So why not 5 stars? Because: - the circular trim in the center of the fan has minor indentations around the edge and and in some other spots. I noticed this after the electrician was gone, and I saw him work, so I know it was not damaged during the install. I was not about the call him back and go through the trouble of repackaging and sending the unit back, reschedule another instal, etc. You can almost make out the darker spot in the picture with finger pointing at the approximate spot of the dimples. - The remote has its highest speed at 1, and lowest at 4. I find that counterintuitive. We thought perhaps this was caused by the polarity of the wiring, and we reversed them, but still, 1 was fast, and 4 slow. - Air movement is best just under the fan, with a fairly narrow sweet spot. Overall, I am happy with the purchase so far, and will revise the rating if my experience changes.

Very disappointing. I should have read the negative reviews before buying. My fan looks good but the minute you turn it on it starts making a clicking sound. I bought three of the same and they all have the same sound. It’s too expensive to overlook the noise but I only started using it after the return timeframe. Save your money and frustration.

I have been crazily looking for these gray fans for my new home renovation and only Amazon has it in stock. Most of the gray/white colors is on back order in major websites. And it is delivered within 3 days, in time for my electrician to install it. I like it that it has a wall controller as I do not like remote controller which spoil the minimalist look. The wall control is also of the same standard size of a light switch. I bought 2 sets and have them installed with the shorter rods in my bedrooms which has 2 light switches. I asked my electrician to use a 3 gang wall plant to line the fan controller together with the light switches giving it a clean look. My DH actually commented that these are the best thing we have decided to change in our new house as we don't have AC and there was a weekend when the temperature soared to 90ish. We just hid in one of the rooms with the fan on to speed 3. The fan is quiet, stable, and sleak. I only like modern and simple design which can be hard to find at this price range.

I have mine hanging from an 18 foot ceiling with a 72-inch down rod. It's the first thing everyone notices and they love it. It's very sleek and modern. It doesn't make a noise and though I was concerned it only has 3 blades, this thing moves so much air around, even on the low setting!!! Also, assembling this fan was super simple and if you're a handy man than installation is easy. Great instructions.

this fan moves a lot of air without all the frills - its just a clean looking well designed fan and very easy to install.

Very nice modern looking fan. I ordered two for our covered porch. Each came with a wall speed control switch, that was a nice touch. A great fan for a very decent price!

Totaly silent and very good quality product

looks awesome, moves a really good amount of air but after a year it makes a little squeak once in a while, wouldn't be a big deal but being in the bedroom it can be a little annoying at night.
