Sofucor 52 Inch Ceiling Fans with Lights and Remote Control, Modern Solid Wood Outdoor Ceiling Fan with Light for Bedroom Living Room Indoor Farmhouse Patio, Quiet DC Motor

This is an update to my original review which I have updated again due to a battery problem with the remote. The first fan developed a bearing noise within the return window so I requested a direct replacement from Amazon. What a difference! Sofucor must source this item from a number of manufacturers as these were very different fans. The new wood blades were not countersunk and the attaching bolts were long enough as-is (photo attached). The remote and receiver were different. The new model is reversible (which is what I expected from the first fan shipped) and the remote looks completely different (photo attached). It also uses a special A23 battery instead of two AAAs (the included 23A battery lasted only a few uses twice now so I've asked the manufacturer to replace just the remote - in the mean time, I am removing the battery when not using it). Another extremely positive point is that if the fan is turned off at the wall switch, it returns to its last setting when power is restored. This means if an overnight power outage occurs, you won't have a ceiling fan light come on unexpectedly. I have no idea how to tell in advance that you will get the better engineered fan. The new one had a sticker Zhongshan Kebaishi Electric Appliance Company on the motor housing (photo attached) which the original did not have. I did communicate my issues with the company. Having learned from my first installation, I assembled the fan on the ground rather than working vertically (photo attached). The printed installation manual was a bit easier to read BUT still differs from the physical fan design. The wiring is different from the first fan but all wires were clearly labeled and the diagram at the back of the manual is easy to follow. I also shared an idea that the short screws for the light fixture make it very difficult to line up the light with the bottom of the fan properly. I found a long version of the same thread in my miscellaneous screw bucket and cut the head off so that it when I slid the light fixture over it and centered the center opening on the fan, the other 2 screws lined up and could be inserted. I then removed my longer screw and finished with the 3rd screw for the light (photo attached). So far I am very happy with this fan. === Original review text follows: The fan is very stylish and runs quietly but the installation was a pain. First, the written instructions use the smallest possible typeface and do not match the installation video either which is animated and equally confusing. The instructions only cover the longer down pole (aka the suspender) which leaves ample room to work. The shorter down pole is much tighter. It isn't clear but don't forget to slip on the magnetic Canopy Cover between the Canopy and the Coupling Cover. The video shows installing the blades before wiring the fan but this would make wiring later much more difficult. Speaking of the blades, they come counterbored with a 1/2" wide circle to recess the bolts and washers. They are not drilled out to a consistent depth. This along with barely long enough bolts means 3 of the 6 bolts will not thread into the motor mount. I carefully used a 1/2" wood drill to slightly deepen the recess but for 1 bolt I had to leave off the washer. The bolts barely clear the top of the blade by 1/8" and should be longer. At least these slight modifications did not cause the fan to wobble which is really good as the generic wobble correction kit and instructions suggest bending the blade mount which is not something that can be done with this style blade. The instructions also show the LED lamp having 2 separate wires and not the plug used now. It is hard to fit but the clip for the plug does face downward. Push the extra wire upward to get the plug enough room to clip in. If it hadn't taken so long to put this up, I would return it but it is working well at this point with a comfortable airflow on Medium. If you turn the fan off at the wall switch it will start up next with the fan off and the light on. I guess the intent is to only use the remote control. When you do start the fan, it starts up in high briefly before switching down to the selected slower speed. I blame myself for looking at too many propeller style fans on Amazon but this one does not reverse direction for winter use. There is not a switch on the side of the motor and the unlabeled button on the remote doesn't do it either.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ I recently installed the Sofucor 60‑Inch Ceiling Fan with Lights & Remote in my living room and I’m extremely happy with the purchase. The overall build quality is impressive—solid feel, the walnut blades complement my décor beautifully, and the remote control makes operation simple and convenient. The light kit and dimmable feature give just the right mood lighting without overpowering the space. What really seals it for me is the value—when I compared this fan to similar models at big‑box stores, this one came in at a fraction of the cost while offering the same premium features like a reversible motor, multiple speeds, remote control, and quality finishes. It’s rare to find that kind of combination. If I had to nitpick, the installation required a bit of effort to ensure everything was perfectly balanced, but that’s typical for a 60‑inch fan and the effort paid off with smooth, wobble‑free performance once mounted. In short: stylish, well‑built, packed with features, and at a great price compared to what you’d find elsewhere. Highly recommended!

It is stable, easy to install. It is quiet and looks so nice. The blades are a lovely wood. The lighting feels too cool on its brightest setting (almost blue) and too yellow in the warm setting. The 52” size without a downrod is in a room with 9ft ceilings and we can still feel the air it puts out. The remote works well too. We ordered many of these and one was missing a piece we contacted the company and they quickly sent it out to us. Great customer service.

Looks great, is quiet, fairly easy to put up if you have experience and if not call an electrician. Great value.

I don't know whether I am the lucky one, or this product is bogus for everybody! The delivery was great. I opened the package and started putting all the parts out for the easy assembly they promised me. It has been one headache after another to put it together. My biggest complaint is there was no instructions to help. I went online and everything I checked into there.had nothing to do with the particular fan I bought. So no instruction, you have to guess. During my guessing process, I find that it was missing three screws that I need in order to connect the lamp to the fan. This has not been a twenty minute experience! I am into my second day now.And I still do not have a fan installed. fast forward tw days.... I had to cut many of the wires down and splice them in order to make the remote box fit into the top housing. Then I find, after several attempts, that the holes for the housing screws do not align and are about 1/4 inch off center and cannot attach the screws.... I feel I threw $128 in the trash as that was my final solution.... GOOD LUCK if you buy this product. 1 star is too good for it!

Use the on-line assembly video. It will help you. Assembly is not complicated but takes time. Follow insttructions. Suggest you assemble fan blades and light before hanging the fan. The fan is very quiet and the cool light selection is quite bright. Very attractive. I like the prewired harness rather than multiple wire nuts. Just connect the hot, common and ground and the harness and you are done. I wish the lharness lead to the fan was a bit longer since connecting the light takes considerable manual dexterity. I have not used it extensively so I don't know of it's longevity, hopefully many years.

Really happy with this fan! It looks super clean and modern, and the wood blades give it a nice touch of warmth without looking bulky or old-fashioned. Feels like a perfect mix of style and function. Installation was pretty easy — instructions were clear and everything went together nicely. The remote control is super handy, and I love being able to control both the fan speeds and the light without having to get up. Best part? It’s incredibly quiet. Even on the higher speeds, there’s barely any sound, which makes it perfect for bedrooms or spaces where you want that peaceful vibe. Airflow is excellent, the light is bright but not harsh, and overall it just feels like a really well-made fan. Definitely recommend if you want something that looks great and performs even better!

UPDATE - seller arranged to send a replacement remote. Very responsive customer service!! This is my 3rd Sofucor fan - I just had it installed today. The fan looks good, and runs well, but it came with a visibly used, dirty, discolored remote control. Our handyman had already installed the fan, when he pulled out the remote to sync with the fan. He said it looked like it had been sitting in the sun for some time to be so yellow. I compared it with the remotes for the other 2 Sofucor fans previously installed. All 3 remotes are different models - the oldest fan remote is the only one that matches the picture in the instruction manual. I never noticed that the remotes were different! After over an hour with Amazon customer service, they referred me to the manufacturer. Hopefully, they can send me a new remote and receiver since this is the only way to operate the fan. If I they do send me a replacement, I'll have to pay our handyman to come back to switch out the receiver, which is annoying for a new fan. I'm happy with the quality of the other 2 Sofucor fans - they look so nice and run silently.
