Kichler 330151NI 44 Inch Sola LED Ceiling Fan with 3 Speed Wall Control - Brushed Nickel Finish & Silver Blades - Perfect for Living Room, Bedroom, and Outdoor Patio Cooling

I’ve purchased a total of 5 Kichler Sola fans and plan on getting more. All of the fans I have are 44 inches. Most are Brushed Nickel and one is Matte White (long story).Aesthetically, the Sola Fan is very modern, simple and beautiful. I love the smooth fan blades, minimalistic light-plate and lack of unnecessary adornments such as tacky rivets.LightingThe light is a bright enough for a midsize room without being overpowering. It’s easily dimmed by the green LIGHT button on the plate mounted remote. The LIGHT button also glows in the dark so it’s easy to find. In the event that the user doesn’t want to utilize the light, it includes a cover that’s nice looking.FunctionIt circulates air effectively, which is very important in the Arizona desert. It also easily switches to a reverse mode without the need for adjusting the blades. All functions are controlled by the plate mounted remote, so need to pull on chains.Energy EfficiencyThe decision to update all the ceiling fans is more than aesthetics. It also saves on energy. The energy difference between operating the Sola fans and the outdated ones is startling. My old fans cost around $130/year to run (between 6-8 hours/day). This one costs only $11 to $15/year.InstallationAs far as ceiling fans are concerned, installation is rather straightforward. I had a professional electrician install the first one but we were able to install the rest on our own. Kichler’s enclosed printed instructions are very helpful and the company also offers various instructional videos.RemoteThe remote is designed to be mounted directly into the wall with the existing light switch plate. It comes with single rocker style switch-plate covers. (In plain white; mine are stainless steel, but I already had those.) Some competing brands only include a loose remote. Mounting it to the wall requires purchase of an additional kit. (Eg: Minka Aire.)QualityThe Sola fan is heavy and looks really solid. I was a little weary about purchasing a fan without being able to see it first. Upon receiving the fan, I was happy to discover that the quality is what one would expect from Kichler brand and is consistent to the price range.StyleThe lines are smooth and it has a simple, clean look; yet, it's not so trendy to the point that it's going to appear outdated in 10 years. I think it’s ideal for mid-century, industrial, transitional or modern decor themes. It doesn't have that a traditional or classic vibe. (In other words, I do NOT recommend it for a Victorian house!)
