Product Reviews

3 Blade 44" Ceiling Fan - Light, Handheld Remote Control and Blades Included 4.5 5 10 12
Love this fan! When we built our home 2 yrs ago, I was unfamiliar with MinkaAire fans. I wanted something sleek with an integral down light & remote control, reversible, easy to clean, quiet but able to produce enough air flow even at low speeds, in an oiled bronze finish. It also had to be available in both flush mount and tiltable down rod models. I searched online for quite a while and then came across this fan. It met every requirement. And the price was affordable!! I have three in my home and have never exeperienced a problem. I love them. So, when we remodeled a house for our daughter this year, I immediately ordered the same fan in a brushed nickel finish for that application. Smart choice! Looks great! August 31, 2011
Love it! This is the quietest fan I've ever had. It fits perfectly into my kitchen--small and compact, moves a lot of air & it's easy to keep clean. Best of all, it looks great! July 3, 2011
Very Modern and Smooth I like the fact that no screws or other holders are seen on the blades. The one light bulb gives plenty of light. The remote works well. May 19, 2011
Disappearing act Perfect, functional, not-in-your face ceiling fan November 8, 2010
Great fan This is a great fan. The tiny halogen lightbulb works great. The remote control works great and is also better than installing a dimmer switch etc. We have one brown and one white fan. both great. Delivery was fast and both fans worked out of the box and had all the parts. October 30, 2010
Low air flow I bought two 44" Concept I fans and can't recommend them. The LOOK really nice, but don't move much air. My cheapo Hunter fans did a much better job at half the price. Sigh. October 4, 2010
Great fan Attractive, modern, and moves tons of air - even on the lower settings. July 18, 2010
great fan Love the fan. Looks great. Having no complaints other than light bulb is not so easy to replace. May 27, 2010
Clean design The best feature about this fan is its looks. It is minimalistic with a clean, stylish, sleek, and modern design. It also has a relatively small footprint. The 100W mini bulb produces adequate light for my 12” by 12” size bedroom. Unlike other fans that require the blades to be screwed on the base unit containing the motor, this fan allows for the blades to just slide into the base unit and lock into place – a great feature that cuts assembly time. I was however slightly disappointed that the color of the blades (with a slightly grayish touch) was not identical to that of the base unit (brown/oiled rubbed bronze). This is not a defect but rather the actual color shade scheme of this particular fan. Even on its highest setting, the amount of airflow (air displaced) is not that impressive and hence I strongly recommend that one go with the 52” inch version of this fan that costs only slightly more than the cost of this 44” model. This fan comes with a 3.5" & 6" down-rod but for my 9” ceiling, I would have preferred if the fan also came with an additional 9” or 12” down-rod. The remote is stylish and works flawlessly but I wish there was more space to snug in the remote-receiver in the fan (it is quite a hassle to try to squeeze the remote-receiver in the tight space). The fan has a slight premium in its price to essentially reflect the quality, good looks, and the fact that you get a fan with an integrated lighting in one unit…….with the convenience of the fan and the light being independently controlled by a remote. Bottom-line: If you like the looks of this fan go with the slightly larger 52” version of it as it provides more airflow at only a minimal extra cost. May 8, 2010
Great Design Love it! The fan has a great design with a sleek modern finish and it really circulates the air well. August 13, 2009

25 Questions from the Community

Loading nanoRep

Can this fan be used on a sloped ceiling?

This item can mount on a sloped ceiling up to 45 degrees with the sloped ceiling adapter, item # A245.

Can you use a dimmer with the light on this fan?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 comes with a dimmer. It's recommended you use the one that comes with it. I hope this helps.

do you have to use the light...is there a cover? will this fan be good for a vaulted ceing, room size approx. 14 x 15.

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 comes with a cover if you do not want to use the light. The fan is good to use on a slanted ceiling and will work for that size room.

How do you put a replacement bulb in?

Thank you for your question. The MinkaAire Concept I 44's glass shade is removable, allowing you to install new bulbs.

How far are the blades from the ceiling with the 3 1/2 inch drop

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 comes with a 3-1/2 and 6 inch down rod. When using both down rods it'll be 15-1/2 inches and with just using the 3-1/2 down rod it's 9-1/2 inches.

I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER 2 ADDITIONAL 6" RODS? CAN THIS FAN BE USED WITH 3 6" RODS TOGETHER OR IS THERE A LONGER POLE?

Just order the 18" downrod, MA DR518.

My ceiling has a less than 15 degrees slope, Do I need to purchase addtional slope mount kit? What is the down rod length should I purchase?

This fan will be fine for your slope, you do not need the slope adapter.

will this fan work on a 45degree slant ceiling? and can one buy a 10"extension rod?

This fan can mount on a sloped ceiling up to 45 degrees with the addition of the sloped ceiling adapter, item # A245. There is not a 10" rod but there is a 12" available.

can I use an incandescent bulb? what do I need to do so?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 cannot take or be modified into using an incandescent bulb because the fitter on the light kit will only take a halogen bulb.

Does the remote control fan speed and lighting?

The remote that comes with the MinkaAire Concept I 44 will control the lighting and fan speed.

We have this fan in white. Would like to have more light from it. Is there a clear glass cover we could buy? Is there a brighter bulb we could use, with a cover, and not have too much heat?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 uses a 100 watt halogen bulb. Unfortunately there are no other shade or light bulb options available for this fan.

When you purchase the MinkaAire Concept I, do you need to purchase additional wall mounted switch, WC212? You can use both the wall mounted switch and remote, right?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 comes with the handheld remote so you would need to purchase the WC212 if you want a wall mount control, but you can use both.

Can this fan be mounted on an 8' ceiling?

With a 3 1/2" down rod, the MinkaAire Concept I 44 is 15 1/2" in height. This would leave 6 foot 8 1/2" from bottom of fan to floor.

can this fan be run on a switch instead of the remote? we currently have the light and motor on 2 separate switches

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 can be run on a switch. It would be the WC212.

Does the remote RC212 come with a wall holster ?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 which comes with the RC212 does come with the wall holster.

How do you reverse the direction of the fan without a remote?

In order to reverse the direction of the MinkaAire Concept I 44 you would need to use either the remote that comes with the fan or the wall control which is sold separately under model number WC212. Both the remote and the wall control have a reverse switch. There is not a chain or a pull on the actual fan that would be used to reverse the direction of the fan.

I would like to purchase a remote and transmitter for this model fan. Currently remote does not work even with new battery.

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 will work with any MinkaAire universal remote control and receiver. Any electrician can install this for you

Is the fan compatible with remotes

Yes, the MinkaAire Concept I 44 is compatible with a remote. It comes with the RC220 hand held remote control.

Please advise the diameter of the ceiling mount and base of this model.

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 ceiling mount diameter is 5 7/8". The body base 9 7/8".

Room of 15'Lx10.10'W, 8'H, is 44" blade sufficient?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 could be perfect for a room that size.

What are the additional rod sizes available (other than 3.5" & 6")?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 can be used with additional downrods ranging from 12", 18", 24", 48" and 72". When you add the fan to your cart the next page will prompt you to select a larger downrod if you need one.

Is this a 2 wire or 3 wire installation?

Its 2 wire, but it comes with a remote, not a wall control.

Can both the hand held and wall remote be used?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 can use the wall remote and the hand held remote.

My ceiling slope is 15 degrees. Do I need the adapter?

The MinkaAire Concept I 44 will need a sloped ceiling adapter for a 15 degree slope. The sloped ceiling adapter is part number A245.

How effective is a three blade fan versus a five blade fan?

The Minka Aire Concept I 44 with three blades is just as effective as a five blade fan. It has a CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating of 2600, comparable to five blade fans of the same size.
