MINKA-AIRE F896-65-CL, Xtreme H2O 65" Ceiling Fan in Coal Finish

Everything I expected and more. I had it installed by an electrician so that helped but it provides a great amount of air flow both up and down. Well made with an intuitive remote. Great product.

Holds up well outside. Puts out good air. Glad we got these.

I haven't had this fan installed long but my first impressions are that it is a really solid outdoor fan and worth the money. Its very quiet, was perfectly balanced out of the box and it moves a lot of air on its highest setting. Plenty for my 10' x 17' patio area.The only part I don't like is how everything is controlled from the remote. The fan only has black (hot), white (neutral) and green (ground) wires, nothing switched. Where I was installing it, my house has black, white, ground and red (switched). If you follow the fan's instructions and match colors, then the red wire isn't used and the wall switch does not do anything. You have to use the remote to turn the fan on or off.However, I found that if I wire the fan's white and ground to the home's white and ground respectively but wire the fan's black wire to my house's red wire instead of my house's black wire (and cap my house's black wire), then the fan will come on and off with the wall switch and most importantly, the fan will remember the setting it was previously on. Since I live in Florida, I expect to have it on high almost all the time when I'm using it, so now the wall switch will work for me on its own 99% of the time and I won't have to bother with the remote.This wiring may be pretty basic knowledge for a lot of people out there, but it wasn't intuitive to me so I figured I would put it out there in case it helps someone else.Now that I have it wired the way I like it, I think it will be a great outdoor fan.

Great fan. Just bought a second one for outdoor porch, only because house was struck by lightning and killed my first one. Had the first one since 2020 and had no issues. I’ve had the second fan installed for about two weeks. No problems. Love that it has six speeds. It’s quiet and powerful. Moves a lot of air which is a must, here in central GA. Original fan saw some signs of rust once it was removed…probably because of outdoor use. Very pleased with this brand and model.

Very elegant, modern and quiet fans. Had to replace my previous ones after a tornado incident. So happy I went with these. My girlfriend had ordered these months before and they were much more expensive so I feel like I got a great deal.
