Sofucor Ceiling Fan with Lights and Remote Control 60 Inch Modern Ceiling Fan Wood Blade Fan For Bedroom Living Room Indoor Outdoor Farmhouse Patio, Quiet DC Motor, Natural Wood

Review of Sofucor Customer ServiceI previously wrote a favorable review of a Sofucor 52" ceiling fan with light but am now so further pleased with their Customer Service that I want to again highly recommend them. I recently lost the remote unit which controls the fan's functions and contacted Sofucor to find out how I might find and buy another one. Instead of passing my request off to a distributor, or worse, ignoring it, they got back to me within two days to ask where they could send my replacement free of charge. I gave them the needed information and was very pleasantly surprised to receive a new remote within the week. This was truly one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had and want to thank Sofucor and very highly recommend their organization.

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.

Looks and works great, decent price and fairly easy install. Love the walnut look of the blades. A few things to note: the instructions are just stills from an instructional video with no text instructions other than a few, “tighten”, “loosen” and arrows. There are QR codes next to every photo that go to instructional videos on YT but every single one is set to private so you cannot view them. It was difficult to parse out what parts were used when in the photos. We figured it out but it would have been less frustrating if there were actual instructions or QR codes that worked and maybe an actual text link to the videos just in case?There are three color temps for the light but it was just cool, cooler, and super warm. Would have loved something more in-between. Fan works great and prob better than the larger 5-blade one we replaced. Wiring only goes to one switch so if you’re used to turning the fan on from the wall, that might be an issue. Only the main power/light is wired everything else is on the remote. Overall, very pleased with this purchase!

Love this fan so much! The style is beautiful and modern and it runs so smoothly and quietly I can’t tell it’s on. I do wish the slowest speed was actually slower. There are six speeds and I can’t imagine ever running it on any speed beyond 1. I tried reversing the direction and the is less windy and still moves the air so that is how i’m using it.

I installed two of these ceiling fans over three years ago, and they work great! The fan is super quiet and looks nice in both my living room and master bedroom.When the light in my master bedroom went out, I emailed Sofucor about a replacement bulb since I couldn't find one online. They actually sent me a new light fixture for free. No hassle, no questions asked.Solid product and good customer service. Would buy again.

This ceiling fan is very stylish. It fits in seamlessly with my home and offers 3 different light modes as well as a dimming function all from the remote control. What I love about this fan is that it can be reversed by using the remote, so it's not necessary to climb on a ladder to reverse the direction. A great product.
