SmaFan.com Reviews

"I love our smafan. It was very easy to install and very easy to operate. I will definitely buy from this company again."

"The outdoor ceiling fan looked great and worked well after installation. Everyone complements me on it. Only issue: Remote control is a little complcated and takes time to learn. Overall, great value and a pretty style for a decent price. --Glenn"

"The fan arrived very quickly (surprised by that) and was well packaged without any damage. I already had a metal electrical fan box in the ceiling to attach the fan so it was pretty easy to attach the base. One minor gripe is that there is an extra metal cord you can (apparently) attach to the ceiling and also to the fan base in case the fan somehow becomes detached from the ceiling to prevent it from falling to the ground. Unfortunately, there wasn't any instruction on the best approach to secure it to the ceiling. Also, the wiring diagram assumes the electrical box is *not* wired to provide separate power lines for both the fan and light (e.g. a separate wall switch each for the light and fan). This means (in my situation) I had two \"hot\/live\" wires in the wiring box for the fan motor and fan light. Since the the Smafan only requires a single \"hot\" wire for both functions (since the fan and light are electronically controlled), I just tied all three \"hot\/live\" wires together (two from wall switches, one from Smafan). As a result I need to make sure either my fan or light wall switch is turned \"on\" to power the Smafan (either will do). It was a little tricky screwing on the fan blades (nice solid wood) due to the base already being mounted to the ceiling but thankfully the screw holes lined up without any slop. Getting the fan paired to the app and eventually Google Home involved a little trial-and-error but if you have experience binding smart-home devices the process is similar. Once bound, the app and Google Home worked great. The light actually appears as two separate lights: one \"cool\" and one \"warm\" light that surprised me. In the end, however, they are both controllable (as well as the fan speed) so there are no complaints. Also, at least with Google Home, the Smafan reacts to commands quickly. The fan itself is quiet at low speeds but becomes noisier as you ramp it towards the higher speeds. The increased noise isn't due to the fan mechanism but rather the increased \"swoosh\" of air that it's pushing through the room. Overall, it took me about 1.5-2 hrs to install one evening and I've been happy with it's performance so far. Long duration testing will start when summer arrives and the bedroom gets hot. If you don't like controlling the Smafan with your phone or favorite home automation software (Google Home, Alexa, etc...), the included remote control works well and gives you a plastic holster you can use to attach it to a wall."

"The fan is excellent and it has wifi integration. It has convenient features like app based setup, remote, timer, multiple lighting. It also has Alexa integration and it is very useful feature for me."

"Love this fan. Works well with Google home, puts out a lot more light than any fan we've had. "
