A good fan with a few issues
--1 year reflection--Having had the fan for a little over a year now my experience overall has been positive. I had an issue for a while where the fan would reverse direction on its own for some reason and I wouldn't notice until I started wondering why I couldn't feel any air. A firmware update seems to have resolved that. Speaking of firmware updates, these are app driven and you have to manually check from time to time. The app will also periodically log you out so open it to check from time to time. I had one instance where the fan became completely unresponsive to the app and also remote which required pulling the "airgap" reset pin on the wall controller to hard reset the fan. Like I said in the review, minor nuances, these shouldn't dissuade you from buying this fan, just know there will be some weirdness to work through sometimes. Such is life in the Smart Things age...--Original Review --Already a Lutron Caseta user, I set out to find a flush mount "hugger" low profile fan in 52" to maximize overhead space. I quickly realized 2 things: nearly all options are smart or have integrated wireless controls which adds cost to the fan and if I wanted to continue using my Caseta switch I would need a fan with pull chains. I looked at many brands, read the few reviews that were available and then read through installation guides of any hopeful contenders. Some of the other brands I considered were Minka Aire and Fanimation. Modern Forms, which is a sub brand under WAC Lighting, seems to have a small but loyal following and offers true smart device integration. This means Alexa, google home or smart things integration for most people.Installation is relatively straight forward but there are more wires here for sure then any fan I've installed prior. It would have been nice if they pre-wired and secured the receiver to the fan motor from the factory. Then there would be only 3 wires to connect to the ceiling box. The installation guide is pretty bad with vague references/ drawings and mentions of parts that don't exist. They give you several individual packages of screws but you're completely on your own to figure out where to use which. I was also missing the screws needed to secure the light and thought I was also missing the canopy cover screws, but found some that worked. They only mention their optional Bluetooth wall plate so if you have a standard power toggle switch, it will need to be switched ON to supply power or you can manually tie the wires in your wall box to supply continuous power. The provided remote is already paired to the receiver and has a slight delay between button presses to fan actions. It also makes an audible beep when the fan functions are used, I don't like this at all as it cheapens the experience a bit in my view. The light functions silently thankfully.If you don't want the smart integration you could stop here, but if you do, install the modern forms app FIRST! The fan's receiver is both Bluetooth and WIFI-capable and must connect to your home network for automation integration. The app will help complete this step for you, after you've created a modern forms account or linked your google/facebook account, of course. I never did receive a confirmation email from these people, so the only purpose of this account is to tie their service to Google. Once the receiver is on your network with your account linked to the automation service of your choice, you can then use google home, alexa etc and that part works fine. The verbal commands for this fan are done in levels, so you would say "turn on office fan level 2", for example. The breeze function looks interesting on paper but in practice I found it annoying. A fan that randomly shifts speeds and patterns is incredibly distracting.The finished design of the thing in action is elegant, I must say, and with only 3 blades it produces a good amount of air with only a slight bit of turbulence noise at the outer edges of the blades. This fan uses a DC motor which is more efficient than the traditional AC variants. The light, while fully dimmable, I find to be slightly too dim at night. During the day with the blinds open it's fine.So, overall a nice fan once you get through the setup nuances. I still would have preferred to use my Caseta switch instead of their smart system, but it's fine, it works.Pros:-Excellent flush fan clearance from ceiling to bottom of light-More efficient DC fan motor-Visually pleasing with what seems to be good quality components-Smart integration with the most popular options (Google, Alexa, Ecobee...)-Relatively quiet operation with good wind outputCons:-Pricey, but most are in this space-Installation guide needs work for sure-The smart setup sequence of events is important (modern forms app FIRST, then google/ alexa integration)-Bluetooth remote actions are slightly delayed after button presses-Fan controls BEEP when activated-Light is too dim at max brightness-No 3rd party smart switch integration (Lutron etc)-Also, if you buy a wall plate be sure it is the BLUETOOTH version, not RF! RF is the version sold here on Amazon and will NOT work with this fan. (This is what you want: part#: F-WCBT-WT)

Excellent ceiling fan
I installed 2 of these onto concrete ceilings with low profile boxes. Setup was fairly simple and instructions were clear. Runs very quiet and smooth. One wobbled a bit at first, but swapping blades around cleared that up.My one gripe is the remote. The buttons are so small and print of the icons so fine that it's really difficult to read them.

Great fan
This fan works great. And their customer service and technical help staff answer their phone right away and are very helpful in case you need them. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great fan, works well.
Installed yesterday, so far so good. Fan is very quiet, you only hear air moving at higher speeds. The "breeze mode" is pretty cool, it mimicks the ebb and flow of a natural breeze. As stated before the install directions are a little wonky but not impossible to figure out with a little common sense. Def would not recommend attaching the fan blades until after the housing is in place. The directions have you attach them before and it makes no sense. The blades only get in your way while wiring and installing the housing. I'd go in this order:1. Wire the receiver to the housing before attaching housing to ceiling.2. Wire the receiver to the electrical box.3. Attach housing to ceiling.4. Attach fan blades.5. Install adapter plate.6. Install LED module and shade.

Great Product
Great fan, remote, and app. Quiet and powerful. Before attempting install, watch YouTube videos - the printed instructions are inadequate for first-time installers. With the videos, installation is straight forward if you are handy.

Fan is silent! Installation horrible.
I am writing this while everything is fresh in my mind. The fan is wonderful, and silent (yay!). We just installed it today, so I will definitely update if it does not live long. I will not be using wifi, so I won't comment about that. The remote worked right out of the box, and the beep for each button press is so minimal it is hardly worth mentioning. I got the 2700k light as we don't need much over our bed, and it is perfect for us. Very soft light, and has three different brightness levels.Now here is the bad part. The installation booklet is worthless, and installation is a PITA! One of the beginning steps is to install the blades. DON'T. We saved this step for just before installing the light. Can't imagine how awful it would be to do this with the blades on. There were missing wires, additional screws, and DH was going crazy trying to figure out the schematic until he figured out that said wires were not there. Then we were trying to figure out the screw situation, because it is not clear which ones are to be used. Nothing is labeled. And we ended up with a bag of screws that went to...nothing. We are not stupid people, and we have installed enough from China lately to know that things are definitely lost in translation. We both think Ikea instructions are much better, and they ain't great. All this is to say to be prepared if you are installing it yourself.I need to be upfront that I purchased this from another store. I had to return the first one I ordered from Amazon as they gave me a returned one as new, and I did not want to risk doing that again. I just really wanted to give an honest review of the fan and the installation. I really like how the fan looks, and don't let the installation woes scare you away from a very modern, sleek, and very quiet fan.

Gorgeous Contemporary ceiling fan
I love this fan. It is in a studio apartment that is 350 ft.². It works perfectly with smart devices and voice activation. It comes with a remote and a wall hanger. It is perfect for a old home and new home alike.
