Ceiling fans today come in a variety of styles, colors, sizes and brands. Almost all brands of fans are manufactured overseas, so although many of the them are different the differences are not huge. What you should aim for when purchasing your ceiling fan is getting the most bang for your buck as far as quality is concerned. Below you see what we think are the best ceiling fans that you can buy with your money. The picks are the result of feedback from thousands of satisfied customers.
Hunter is the grand daddy of ceiling fans having been around since 1886. If your budget for ceiling fans is under $150 there’s no since in buying a fan other than the Hunter brand. Why? Because the quality of craftsmanship and customer service is unmatched. Having been around for well over a center they have gotten a few things right. For example, the Hunter 20803 low profile III with 5 blades is only $139. It’s quite, attractive, vibration free and wired to accept a light kit. These fans are like a good blocking guard on football team, their not fancy or showy they just get the job done. You get showroom value without the showroom price.
Next we move up to ceiling fans in the $150-$200 range to the brand named Marley. You may not of heard of Marley as they carry a small line of fans. Sometimes Marley and Qmark names are used synonymously. The are very high quality fans with good engineering. For all of you like to buy American made products this is fan that is produced within the states. The motor in the fan is so well built that is often compared to fans costing upwards of $400. As stated before your choices are limited to brass, bronze or white with wooden or white blades. We really like the Marley 60001 downdraft with 60″ blades for around $250. Another added feature about all Marley ceiling fans is that either include a light kit or wired already for a light kit to be installed. Marley has a great line of low profile ceiling fans as well.
For ceiling fans over the $200 price range we’d steer you in direction of a Casablanca or an Emerson Fan. Both of these companies are well established. Both of these companies feature fans with American made motors. These fans although a bit more pricey have excellent craftsmanship and superior function. A few models we like are the Emerson Midway Eco Contemporary Energy Star with light and remote control or the Casablanca S3 brushed nickel both priced at slightly over $200 depending on where you shop. Both fans are silent, aesthetically beautiful with excellent motors.
