Reviews and ratings of brand name ceiling fans, such as Fanimation, Harbor Breeze, Hunter, Casablanca and more

The Fanimation Zonix is in my opinion a sleekly designed contemporary ceiling fan that fits well into modern environments, such as a downtown apartment. The Zonix ceiling fan makes the statement that less can be more with its minimalist qualities. A round body flush with the motor’s circular design, three thin blades and a downrod consist of far less material than most ceiling fans.

Unfortunately, the Fanimation Zonix is a unipacked fan that does not allow for much customization. This ceiling fan is offered in an oil-rubbed bronze or satin nickel finish and comes with reversible cherry/walnut blades. Although, optional satin nickel blades may be purchased as an add-on. An optional tubular lighting kit may also be purchased. Included with the Zonix is a wall control but a remote control may also be purchased separately. This ceiling fan has a 54 inch blade sweep, a 14 degree blade pitch and has four forward and reverse speeds. The Zonix is typically priced between $250 and $350 depending upon what options are selected. The following is CeilingFantasia.com’s review of the Fanimation Zonix:

Glancing at the Fanimation Kubix ceiling fan, no matter how hard I stretch my imagination, I cannot fathom why Fanimation decided to label it with such a name. Alright, maybe it’s the fact that the fan takes its inspiration from a cube, with a cubic body, lighting set and angular blades. The Fanimation Kubix would fit nicely into any environment with art deco styling. Art deco is a style of design that was popular during the 1920s and 30s, which is based upon mathematical geometric shapes.

The Kubix is a unipacked fan available in two finishes, oil-rubbed bronze and satin nickel. A reversible set of cherry or walnut blades and a lighting kit are included with each finish. This ceiling fan’s blade sweep is 54 inches with a 14 degree blade pitch. The Kubix is powered by Fanimation’s sturdy 153×18 motor with three forward and reverse speeds. Fanimation’s C24 remote control is also included but a wall control can be purchased if needed. This ceiling fan is typically priced around $350. The following is CeilingFantasia.com’s rating of the Fanimation Kubix:

The Fanimation Caruso is a versatile tropical ceiling fan. One sturdy downrod supports not one, but two ceiling fan motors that each power their own set of blades. The reason why the Caruso is so versatile is because it can cool an environment in almost any direction and at most angles. The Fanimation Caruso can be configured to hang its blades either vertical with the ground, at a 15 degree angle from the downrod, at a 30 degree angle, at a 45 degree angle or even at a 60 degree angle. At a 60 degree angle the fan blades are almost horizontal with the ground. This ceiling fan has a very unique look that adds character to an environment that would otherwise be bland. Although, the actual styling and finish of the fan is classical, making it not out of place in more conservative environments, unlike the Fanimation Enigma.

The Caruso comes in either an antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, or pewter finish and can adorn many of Fanimation’s custom blade sets and lighting. This ceiling fan comes with powerful twin 188 x 25 motors with two forward and reverse speeds that are supported by limited lifetime warranties. The Fanimation Caruso has a 15 degree blade pitch and requires a minimum ceiling height of 12 feet with the provided 24 inch downrod. Prices for the Caruso typically range between $800 and $1000 depending upon selected options. The following is CeilingFantasia.com’s review of the Fanimation Caruso:

Style: 4 of 5
Durability: 4 of 5

The Fanimation Fargo is a unique and elegant tabletop fan. The Fargo draws air in from the top of the fan and smoothly distributes it out in all directions. Tabletop fans, like the Fargo, were widely popular in the early 1900s, providing circulation in cigar rooms and other classy areas. The only issue with these fans during the early 1900s were their metal blades combined with wide gaps in their shields. If one were to accidentally place a finger in an early tabletop fan, it likely wouldn’t return in near mint condition. Fanimation has alleviated these concerns by using a plastic blade with much tighter gaps in the shield. The Fanimation Fargo is a safe and stylish antique replica tabletop fan that works well in any room without a ceiling fan that is in need of an added element of class and circulation.

The Fargo, designed not to blow your papers all over the office, provides very consistent and stable circulation with its two different speed settings. This metal bodied tabletop fan comes in either a brushed brass, oil rubbed bronze or chrome finish. The Fargo is 20 inches tall, weights 14 pounds and has an 8 foot power chord. The Fargo also has protective rubber feet that are sure not to scratch most tabletop surfaces. This fan is typically priced around $200. The following is CeilingFantasia.com’s review of the Fanimation Fargo tabletop fan:

At first glance the Fanimation Punkah looks as much like an abstract piece of artwork as it does a fan. For those who purchase this unique fan, it does serve as both a fan and piece of artwork. Fanimation’s tagline for the Punkah is old world grace and sophistication. Sitting at a dining table cooled by a Punkah is surely an elegant experience. A rhythmic horizontal breeze makes one feel almost as if he or she is sitting on their back porch being cooled by a slight summer breeze. The Punkah can cover a larger area with cooling than most ceiling fans but with far less intensity. We at Ceilingfantasia.com consider the Fanimation Punkah one of the most graceful fans we’ve ever reviewed.

The Punkah is designed to be mounted on either the ceiling or the wall and comes in an antique brass, black, pewter or rust finish. This fan can accept many of Fanimation’s various palm leaf blade types. The Fanimation Punkah can expand out to a maximum of 24 feet in length with every set of six fan blades being powered by their own single-speed motor. This fan works well in high-end dining rooms, restaurants and other architecturally significant spaces. A six blade Punkah typically ranges in price from $850 to $1,000 depending upon components chosen. The following is CeilingFantasia.com’s review of the Fanimation Punkah:

Style: 5 of 5
Durability: 3 of 5
