Very nice we like it very much in the place we've choosen for it.

By: Elizabeth M., Homeowner  (Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada)

We ordered two of these fans, one for each of my children's rooms.

Great fans - simple, elegant, and luminous (with light adapter).

Highly recommend!

By: MJH, Homeowner  (Princeton)

Y-Lighting was so helpful and responsive on the phone. It is exactly what we wanted.

By: Anne W., Homeowner  (Marin, CA, USA)

This fan transformed our living room. Simple, clean, and whisper quiet. Moves air great as well.

By: Justin, Homeowner  (Durham, NC)

Great fan. Quiet motor, clean design, very stable. The optional light kit turns the "ball" into more of an "egg," but still a nice overall aesthetic. We use these throughout the house--7 and counting. if you're looking for something beyond the boring/ugly fans of yore, look no further.

By: amillians, Homeowner  (Atlanta, GA USA)

The Ball Fan offers the flexibility of a reversible fan and a light which can be dimmed, both in a strikingly simple and functional design that is a stark contrast to the typical products available. Accommodating a sloped ceiling is an added feature.

Installation instructions were easy to follow and enabled the installation to be a simple task even for a novice.

By: James W. O., Architect  (St. Paul, MN)

The sleek, modern style of this fan fits in perfectly with our mid century modern 1950's ranch house. It is so quiet, even when on the highest speed you can barely hear it and it doesn't shake with the speed. This was definitely what we expected out of this product!

By: Nicholas B., Homeowner  (LAs Vegas, NV)

We ordered a ball hugger and found it installed easily with no problems. However, the 24" down rod on the standard version identified a basic design flaw: there's too much give at the hanging bracket, which causes wobble.

Basically, the half ball seats in the hanging bracket with a single slotted channel and ridge (see step 8 of the instructions on this page). This allows the fan a lot of play regardless of leveling components and tightening screws. The fan we're replacing has two separate channels and ridges to prevent this.

Modern Fan Company's suggestion was to loosen the smaller screw at the end of the down rod, then re-level the fan mechanism using gravity, then retighten this small screw (basically step 7, but balancing, not just tightening). The problem here is that because there's so much play in the half ball/hanging bracket connection, this is nearly impossible. That is, you cannot loosen, balance, and tighten at the bottom of the down rod without tilting the entire assembly because the single slotted channel has too much give.

I attempted a blade balance as a separate measure, thinking that this might solve the problem. I think the underlying design flaw is too significant to easily balance the blades with weights alone. At the very least you'll go nuts attempting to do so.

To be fair, I'm still working with Modern Fan Company to solve this problem, but my feeling is that they took shortcuts in the construction of this fan that make proper installation extremely difficult, if not impossible.

By: Matt L, Homeowner  (Brooklyn)

I experienced great sales and customer service from YLighting. The products were delivered on time and by the terms that I expected.

By: Heath J., Homeowner  (Phoenix, AZ)

This is my fifth ball fan, I believe my fourth from your company. It is a wonderful example of how beautiful

a simple clean design can be. Two of the fans have run almost on a daily basis for ten years or more problem free.

Thanks,

Adam

By: Adam Z., Homeowner  (toronto,canada)

I bought this fan for my living room. It was very easy to install. My friends and family loved the way it looks too. The only problem is that when it is at the fastest speed it moves a little. With this fan, my living room is much cooler and comfortable and it looks very modern at the same time. I really like it!

By: Michelle, Homeowner  (McAllen, Texas)

Have had Modern Fan Company fans in the past and loved them! This one is no exception. Beautifully simple styling and super quiet.

By: Michael G., Homeowner  (maryland)

The Ball Ceiling Fan is great....looks just as good installed as it does in pictures. The order process went very smoothly, I think we had our fan 3 days after ordering it. It was slightly more labor intensive to install than other fans we have had because each fan blade has three screws that have to be screwed in and they are kind of at a tricky angle. But, other than that it was easy and the fan runs very quiet.

By: B Coleman, Homeowner  (Savannah)

I finally got my "ball" fan installed, after years of listening to others rave about their various Modern Fan Co. fans. It's really well made and the motor is silent. I just wish there was a speed between low and medium. I can't imagine ever using "high" - it's so strong I think the house would lift off.

It might be nicer to have metal blades, and I think the plastic switchplate is a bit cheap/cheesey.That said, I will eventually replace other fans in the house with ones from Modern Fan Co.

By: Eileen S, Homeowner  (Washington DC)

The MFC Ball Fan is the perfect blend of style, simplicity, and quality at a reasonable cost. A true testament that form follows function.

It was nice to see three [3] different size down rods; however, I had purchased the 36" down rod to provide enough clearance for my cathedral ceiling. Overall I am very satisfied and will definitely purchase more for other rooms in the house.

By: justen d., Architect  (Troy, MI)

I specify fans on a number of projects for commercial and industrial applications. Modern fan is the only company I use for commercial applications. Aside from looks, the build quality is good, and the performance is exceptional - this particular one was purchased for my new home to move air from the main floor to the third-floor attic space. The room is no longer hot and the fan is virtually silent on high speed. My home office is now complete.

By: Fortech Engineering Ltd., Designer  (Waterloo, ON)

We will probably by another one

By: Ljerka G. co Coffin, Homeowner  (33884 Winter Haven FL)

Quiet and moves the air. I've purchased 5 of these fans and highly recomend them.

By: S Sharm, Homeowner  (Houston, TX)

We have 5 other modern ball fans in our house. They are silent, well made with a great design. We looked at other cheaper fans, but nothing compares. Y lighting had fast shipping. We are very pleased with our purchase.

By: john c., Homeowner  (milwaukee, wi)

I live in Texas, and even with a fully functional air conditioning system, summers are nothing short of brutal. They are utterly silent, which is a big improvement on what the house came with, and can be manually controlled and only used when a particular room is occupied, which cuts down costs (rather than dialing down the thermostat). This is the second Ball Fan I've purchased and I plan to set them in every room of my house to increase airflow efficiently, consistently—and beautifully!

By: Anjali G., Homeowner  (USA)

This is my second Modern Fan Company fan. I will actually be ordering a third one soon. They are astetically very pleasing and nicely designed with clean and simple lines. They perform extremely well without making any noise and keep the room considerably cooler and very comfortable even in hot weather. I would consider this fan to be high-end and definitely worth the price.

By: Uta K., Homeowner

Love the design, love the product. It would look great in any space.

By: Ellen, Homeowner  (North Carolina)

Great design, great product. It would look good in any space.

By: Ellen, Homeowner  (North Carolina)

great quality product. great service!

By: thomas,   (Austin)

My projects are modern new homes, and these fans fit perfectly. Design is simple elegance. Have seem them in friends' traditional home, and they fit in nicely too. Quality shows through!

By: Ruth N., Designer  (San Antonio, TX)

I am so happy to have this fan. It is absolutely beautiful and looks great in my family room. It is like having a sculpture on the ceiling! The fan I had before was the ugliest fan in the world, it is such a relief to look up and see this one. It works great too.

By: Gloria, Homeowner  (Texas)

Loved the fan, loved the way it makes my house look! It looks so much better already installed than in does in the pictures, plus it works great!

By: Gilberto J. M. E, Homeowner  (South Padre Island, TX)

By: teresa j., Designer  (sf)

Clean lines add great appeal to this modern fan.

By: Cindi N., Homeowner  (woodland park, nj,usa)

Not only has a designer look but it's extremely efficient and most importantly very quiet!

By: Luminitza B., Homeowner

Very stylish fan. We had to order an extra downrod due to our crazy tall ceilings. I think I could only like this better if it had metal blades instead of silver-painted blades.

By: Megan G., Homeowner  (Los Angeles)

By: marty F., Homeowner  (new york new york)

The shipping was quick and on time from Y-lighting. I would highly recommend Y-lighting to firends and family. My fans arrived with no issues and they look better than I ever expected. Great quality fans that improved the look of my home.

By: Nelse L., Homeowner  (Denver, Colorado)

I first ordered the "ball hugger ceiling fan" and hated it immediately upon opening the box as the proportions were very chunky so i y;ighting let me return it.

after speaking w/ the customer service person about the ball ceiling fan on i decided on getting the larger blades. they seemed so big but i followed his advice and i love this fan!

it is somewhat heavy but the overall look is modern and will go w/ alot of decors.

By: tom m., Homeowner  (jersey city, NJ USA)

Fan is minimalist in design and super quiet in operation. Worked perfectly after installation with no wobbleing or shaking. Used the optional 24" downrod because of a high ceiling. Fan moves a lot of air.

By: BK, Homeowner  (NJ)

I had been researching extensively for weeks for a ceiling fan for a cozy bedroom space I built in my loft. I was looking for something clean & not too obtrusive to the space as the ceilings are low. This fan ended up being a perfect fit. I also got the light kit which illuminates the room with a brilliant glow. Overall I am completely satisfied with it and plan on getting another one for the main space.

By: kristin c., Homeowner  (Brooklyn, NY)

We love the looks of this fan, and it matches perfectly with our mid-century modern house. It is very quiet and efficient and it was easy to install. It is currently wobbling slightly on high speed, but we trust we'll be able to fix this with the self balancing kit provided with the fan. Overall we are very happy with this purchase, considering it replaced an ugly Hampton Bay that came with the house ... :)

By: Paul B., Homeowner  (Sunnyvale, CA)

nice modern fan for our bedroom - easy to install - note does not reverse - medium is not that strong - high is a bit loud - but still a great fan

By: stacie, Homeowner  (nj)

Very modern and sleek looking. enhances appearance of room. very easy to install. happy with purchase.

By: Jordan R., Homeowner  (west orange NJ)

A simple and beautiful fan. After an exhaustive search, the only choice for our mid-century modern home restoration. Other units costing three times as much don't look half as good- this is great design within reach. Note on Ylighting: great products + great prices + unusually great customer service = one of the best online design stores.

By: Gregory B., Architect  (Tucson, AZ)

I have the stainless color and this fan works great and looks amazing. It has very clean lines and a modern look I love the fan and would absolutely reccomend it.

By: Michelle L., Homeowner  (Bloomfield, Michigan)

We bought our first Ball Fan from Ylighting after considerable shopping and internet research because of the clean contemporary look. We've been so pleased that we just purchased our 4th. Very happy with the fan itself and the service from Ylighting.

By: Barbara W, Homeowner  (Pasadena, MD)

I was very pleased with the quality of the fans and entire order process. I installed two of these fans in an open loft area where we were looking for a lighted fan that did not have tacky light bulbs showing. We also had some headspace limitations. These fans were PERFECT!!

By: Theresa S., Homeowner  (Springboro, OH, USA)

Love the fan! We ordered the maple wood blades and it looks great in our modern renovation of a historic house.

By: Amanda S., Homeowner  (Washington DC)

I am totally satisfied with this purchase. It has all the function and all the style that I was hoping to find in a fan. This fan adds the finishing touch in my study, a smallish room with taupe walls and white-painted bookcases, with polished nickel hardware. I love it!!

By: C. Snow, Homeowner  (New York)

I love this fan, I love the simple streamlined design -- this fan would be at home almost anywhere. It arrived in a timely fashion.

By: C. Snow, Homeowner  (New York)

Quality product, from the fan itselvf to the wall speed control. Simple design fits my contemporary houses perfectly. Different lengths of down rods accomodate all of my ceiling heights from 9' to 12'. Of this recent order, I needed 16 fans and they worked out great in each location. My only second thought is on my color selection. I chose brushed aluminum, and wonder if white would make them blend in better yet still look modern. Fans with light fixture are extremely attractive as well.

By: Ruth of Urban 22, Designer  (San Antonio, Texas)

I had been looking at this fan from DRW for awhile then I found it at Ylighting at a much better price. It arrived quickly and well packaged. A bit chanllenging to install so unless you are good with this ask an experienced person to do the installation.

By: Virginia M. H., Homeowner

The main reason I purchased this fan was because the look/design, I love it. Moreso, being energy efficient is another great perk. The only complaint I have about this fan is the fact that a control unit was not included in the price. This fan really completes the modern look of the living room though A+

By: Paul L., Homeowner  (Marysville, OH, United States)

The fan is well made with a clean and simple design. This particular unit has a raw aluminum finish that looks handsome. The mechanicals seem to be high quality and everything fits together fairly well. The blades are a simple plywood construction with silver paint, which should make for more efficient running.

The installation instructions were not exceptional, but clear enough.

It operates exceptionally smoothly and quietly.

On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being highest), I give it a 4 for design and quality.

By: Bill, Homeowner  (Orange, California)

I already have this simple, modern fan in my kitchen, in the aluminum finish, where it picks up the tones of the stainless-steel countertops. Now I'm having this new matte white one installed upstairs in my new office/guest room. My hope is that the white will disappear against the ceiling and provide air circulation without making a major fashion statement. It's helpful that the fan arrives with downrods of different lengths: I'll be able to choose one that's shorter than the one downstairs, where the ceilings are a foot taller. I did NOT buy the lighting element for this fan. Had it simply been a half-sphere that replaced the bottom half of the ball, I might have; however, it has an odd dewdrop shape that completely ruins the very basic lines of the fan. Too bad.

By: Nancy M., Homeowner  (Washington, D.C.)

I've specified the ball fan and others by Modern Fan Co. because they look great and are reliable. Clients love the aesthetics and price.

By: Amy S., Designer  (Brooklyn, NY)

Had seen but never owned a Modern Fan product. Well worth it. No comparison to what you find in mass retailers. A bit more difficult to install, but any moderate diy-er can do it. I got the incandescent light version and it lights up a dark landing brilliantly.!! Way better than expected. They also ship the stainless ball anyway, which kind of wasteful, but good in case ever want to use w/o the light. Y-Lighting was cheapest as well - went to a local home design store to see in person b4 I bought, they said they would match price until I showed them -- they declined. Very solid and the remote works very well.

By: Bryan G., Homeowner  (Indianapolis, IN)

Great product! Silent. I put one in almost every room in the house. You can't go wrong with the Modern Fan Co.

By: S#5, Homeowner  (S. Florida)

I love these fans, they are dead quiet and smooth in operation. The fan blades look like metal even they are wood. I will buy a few more.

By: seth g., Homeowner  (st pete fl 33705)

You just cna't go wrong with this fan. Form and function are first-rate.

By: John Q. Architect, Architect  (Indianapolis, IN)

Ylighting has the best price we could find on this fan, plus shipping was free! We bought them for every room in the house, as its simple and modern design works everywhere. Its nicely finished, well balanced, and quiet. The light is also beautiful and unobtrusive. Packaging and condition on arrival was perfect. I highly recommend Ylighting and Modern Fan Company products.

By: TrK, Homeowner  (Scottsdale, AZ)

I think these will be timeless fans. They look great with any color ceiling. We even have them in rooms with wood ceilings and they look just as good!

By: Patricia M., Homeowner  (CA)

Very well designed and built product! This is the second Modern Fan that I have bought and there will certainly be more in my future!

By: Ann, Architect

This ceiling fan is handsome, modern and ordering it through ylighting on the web was a breeze. No pun.

By: Pia Z. E., Homeowner  (New Orleans)

This fan and it's company lives up to it's reputation. The fan is wonderful and the controls are very simple to operate. I installed 5 fans and all of them are perfect. The only minor issue was that one of the fans was slightly out of balance but Modern Fan included a balancing kit so everything works perfectly. I will be buying more fans from Modern Fan Company and yLighting.

By: Sean M., Architect  (San Francisco, CA)

Great ceiling fan with great style. We have several in our home. It's particularly useful in rooms with modest height to ceilings, but looks good in all rooms. Blends in well with white ceiling.

By: Kemper, Homeowner  (Ann Arbor, MI, USA)

We have designed our home for passive solar use with the Ball Fans. They work together with our skylights that open to get the hot air during the hot summer months. We have ten fans! We could not live without them!

By: Robin B., Homeowner  (Topanga, CA)

These fans are quiet but move air efficiently and look great.

By: Peggy, Homeowner  (Maryland)

I installed this fan in a bedroom and am thrilled with the performance. The fan is very quite and moves the air in such a manner that it does not feel like a draft. Great for leaving on at night while sleeping.

By: Lester D., Homeowner  (Jacksonville, Fl)

Love my ball ceiling fans. We did one on the porch in white and two in the house in aluminum, and both finishes are lovely. We selected the longer blades which, I think, adds to the streamlined aesthetic. The perfect fan for today's modern family. With sooo much bad design out there in the market, it is rare to find simplicity done right. Modern Fan Co. got it right with their ball ceiling fan.

By: cristina, Homeowner  (arlington, va)

Our fan is really good looking and contemporary just like we expected. It is quiet and the service was good. I would recommend it if you are looking for something modern.

By: Catherine, Homeowner  (Belton, SC)

Overall, we are very happy with this fan. Would have given the Ball 5 stars but a few parts were missing when fan was shipped (manufacturer's fault).

Upon ordering fan, I thought the blades of this fan were metal. They are wood, painted silver. The look did not disappoint, though.

Fan was not difficult to install because instructions were straight-forward, although a set of screws were missing and the wrong CF light bulb was sent. Manufacturer apologized and sent missing pieces quickly.

By: Amber M., Homeowner  (Albuquerque, NM)

I did a lot of searching on the internet, and decided on the Ball fan. Looks terrific, and the price was very reasonable. Many designers seem to use this fan in their projects. Highly recommended!

By: Tracy, Homeowner  (Washington, DC)

Clean, modern design updates the turn of the century home.

By: Jacki Y.,   (San Francisco)

By: Oscar M B., Homeowner  (Round Lake, Illinois, USA)

I've now ordered three Ball ceiling fans from YLighting. The first one I installed was the Ball Hugger and I've been very happy with its performance and look. I opted for the light kit on all three, to use as an overhead light-source. The halogen bulb is not very bright, but sufficient and I do like the dimming feature. As always, YLighting has been a pleasure to do business with.

By: Jenco, Homeowner  (Brooklyn, NYC)

Lots of excellent design choices for fans and lights.

Good website and fast delivery.

Thanks

By: Gustavo G., Homeowner  (Miami Beach, FL)

Nicely made product, good installation instructions.

The maple blades have a faux finish, but not easy to pick-up especially when the fan is on.

I purchased all the new fixtures for my apartment from ylighting, great service, great prices, extensive selection.

By: David G., Architect  (Miami)

the fans are not yet installed in our home. however, the design of the fans is perfect.

By: constance c., Homeowner  (blue bell pennsylvania)

great fans from a great company.

they look great at my beach condo in mexico, just installed them yesterday and i am very happy with the look, and function of the fans. 3 of them

By: RODOLFO C., Homeowner  (san diego)

I am once again impressed with the Modern Fan Company. The Ball Ceiling Fan is both well designed and superior in function. I was not originally convinced that the optional downlight would complement the original design but after it was installed and operational I was very pleased with the fan. I would easily recommend this product.

By: Sean M., Architect  (San Francisco, CA)

The fan is very attractive, with four speed settings. The fan came quickly and all the parts were in order. This is my second purchase from ylighting, and I'm sold.

By: lb, Homeowner  (ny)

I bought this fan for the new home and it looks very nice and contemporary. Delivery is also on-time. Price is a bit high, but it's worth it.

By: JT, Homeowner  (Bloomington, IN, USA)

Wonderful product....simple, sleek, stylish...And lowered our electric bill! Couldn't be happier!

By: Marina T., Homeowner  (San Antonio, TX)

Snazzy fan, with great power. I got the shorter blades for a smaller room and longer ones for the big room and they both look great.

By: Renee, Homeowner  (Austin, TX)

I think this is the best fan that Modern Fan Company makes. The design is superb without any bells and whistles. It conveniently comes packaged with three different stem lengths from which to choose, and I haven't detected any wobble when using the longest stem. My preference is for the 52" diameter blades which are better proportioned and provide better performance. A great buy.

By: T. Thornton, Architect  (Marana, AZ)

By: Laura C., Homeowner  (Arizona)

Very nice product - well engineered, nice build quality, quiet, simple to install. First impression is very positive. The design is getting a bit ubiquitous, but the reason it's so popular is not just because of its aesthetics. Based upon this experience, I'd highly recommend Modern Fan Co products...

By: Jim B., Homeowner  (Palos Verde, CA)

The fan was very easy to install and all of the components are made of high quality materials. I was very pleased with the craftsmenship of the product and the delivery time was quick.

By: Robert K., Homeowner  (Scottsdale, Az USA)

I first purchased this fan for my home in Los Feliz. I was so pleased with how great it looked and how well it worked (very quiet operation), I just purchased 2 more for my home in Palm Springs. When I called Y Lighting to place the order for the 2 additional fans - about a year after the initial purchase - the sales person remembered me and my 1st order. Wow, what customer service!

By: John K., Homeowner  (LA and Palm Springs, CA)

We purchased this fan for our bedroom and not only is it beautiful to look at but it is completely silent when it is on. YLighting provided excellent service and we received our fan rather quickly.

By: mjones, Homeowner  (Orlando, FL)

This is our third Ball Fan. We have one (sans light) downstairs, and one each in the bedrooms (one with CF, one with a halogen bulb if I remember correctly). I'm not totally wild about the lighting - the CF is awfully bright for a bedroom (but we wanted the energy efficiency) and I don' like the way the dimmer works on the halogen light (you need to go all the way up in brightness before you can scale it back down, which isn't ideal for a bedroom either) but we love the efficiency, the design, and how quiet these fans are.

Obviously, we would buy another in a heartbeat! And wouldn't think of buying from anywhere other than YLighting.

By: allibaba, Homeowner  (Hudson Valley, NY)

we are very pleased with the Ball ceiling fan. It is a sleek profile and the included light is a nice addition that does not jut out like a sore thumb. no complaints!

By: Michael G., Homeowner  (ny ny)

Attractive ceiling fans are very hard to find - this one in my opinion is attractive and well proportioned

This fan is very well made - installation was straightforward - operation has been flawless.

Two small complaints - paddles are wood painted to appear as aluminum, was expecting aluminum blades - however this does not seem to be an issue and one would not be able to tell the difference

Fan operating switch is not as smooth as it possibly could be - however it is very intuitive and operates well

I would recommend this fan

By: MS, Architect  (Colorado)

I purchased two Ball fans, one silver and one white with a light. Both have beautiful, clean lines and are very quiet. The halogen light looks great with the white fan, and it lights up my 10 x 10 room. I'm a novice with ceiling fans—this is my first experience—and I am very happy. However, I will likely install a second fan in my 14 x 16 foot room, as I'm finding it needs more circulation than one fan can provide (it's adjacent to an open kitchen). Someone installed the fans for me, but I had many questions,, and Ylighting was incredibly helpful with regard to technical and customer support.

By: mekeley, Homeowner  (nyc)

I ordered 2 ball ceiling fans. One arrived perfect, the ball of the other was scuffed. Kudos to ylighting for quickly replacing the ball portion, but that fan suffers from some rocking issues. I'm assuming that this can be fixed with the blade weights provided in the box, but I have not gotten that far just yet. The fans do look really, really cool. Nothing like them at Home Depot or Lowes.

By: Paul P., Homeowner  (Chicago, IL)

The ball ceiling fan looks really sharp in our light-filled master bedroom and style-wise really adds to the look of the room.

By: Darren O., Homeowner  (Chicago, IL)

We bought three. One with a light. Not completely thrilled with the light, but the fans overall are super. Very cool.

By: ru, Homeowner  (Manhattan Beach, CA)

I knew this fan's design would look great. But most important, it moves more air than any ceiling fan I have seen. In addition, the perfectly smooth blades, including the seamless way they fit into the hub, result in this fan making absolutely no noise. I found it very easy to install. Finally, fast shipping and a great price from YLighting made this a superb purchase.

By: B. St Edmund, Homeowner  (Washington DC)

The Ball Fan:

An icon of a fan!

Great form and function!!!

6 years and still running without any problems.

Beautiful design and good price point.

Nothing better for our needs.

By: Robert B., Homeowner  (Little Rock, AR)

Great fan. Lots of air - - beautiful and modern. Amazing price. Delivery was fast and easy. Assembly and installation only took 20 minutes. So happy!

By: Dallas D., Homeowner  (Dallas)

The product performed as expected and described on Y-Lighting's web site. Delivery was as expected and the price was right. I will use Y-Lighting again.

By: B Hodges, Architect  (Atlanta, Georgia, USA)

I've seen the Ball Ceiling Fan at friends' homes and was always impressed with how quiet it is and the amount of air it generates. It has 4 different speed settings, making it easy to get just the right amount of air flow desired in a room. The look of the fan is modern and has that classic look that really makes a statement in a room!

By: siocona, Homeowner  (Los Angeles, CA)

True Contemporary Design at its best ! This Fan works like a charm and is so silent. The $ 8.00 Wall Mounted Fan Speed Control is excellent value for money too.

By: Liza B., Designer  (Newport Coast, CA)

The Ball ceiling fan is an elegant fan with clean lines. Runs well, the controls are well designed and the added lighting option integrates beautifully.

By: Bill H., Homeowner  (NYC, NY)

The fan arrived sooner than expected, and YLighting made the ordering (including options) easy and fast. Well detailed installation instructions - this fan was a pleasure to install and operate. As an architect, I never thought I would spec a ceiling fan - especialy for my own house - but this is simple and exceptional.

By: Patrick C., Architect  (Seattle, WA)

we bought two fans for our new house. they are very stylish and great looking! they are smooth and run extremely quietly. i would highly recommend them.

By: lh, Homeowner  (pittsburgh)

I love the clean design of this fan. We could not find a modern-style fan anywhere that we liked at the big box stores and then we found this one online. It is SUPER quiet when it is running, you hardly know it's on. My only small gripe is that the remote is really lame. You take all of this time making a sharp looking fan and then a janky looking remote comes with it. Otherwise it is awesome!

By: Chad G., Homeowner  (Mason, MI USA)

We are very satisfied with the ceiling fan. It would have helped if a non-remote speed control (four speeds) would have been shipped because remote control is in our opinion excessive. Otherwise the fan is very satisfactory and helpful during the hot seadon.

By: henri u., Homeowner  (guilford, CT)

As an European I refused to buy a fan because what I found in shops was ugly. But then I saw this unit at YLighting and bought it at once. It has good design, easy to install (even with the remote control which saves me some extra wirering), works perfect and silent!

By: Michael T., Homeowner  (Carmel IN)

We put this ceiling fan and light in our living room / dining room in our split level house. It was easy for me to install and worked perfectly. In addition to the comfort and light, it just looks great in what was a very open and uninteresting space. PS - I am not related to Ron!

By: Richard R., Homeowner  (Highland Heights, Ohio)

i love this product, small, compact- yet loaded with style and function- awesome, clever and chic

e

By: Elizabeth G., Designer  (huntington beach, ca)

My husband and I spent many months drooling over the modern fan ads in Dwell and finally decided to purchase the oh so very cool ball fan for every room. We ordered one to make to make sure it was as good as it looked in the glossy magazine. When it arrived we were somewhat dissapointed to discover that it wasn't as slick and beautifully made as it appeared in the ad. The metal on the ball is poorly finished with rough edges and the blades have tacky looking screws showing on the underside. With regards to value for money, this fan is clearly overpriced. Nevertheless, despite it's flaws, it's made itself at home in our bedroom. As for the rest of the house, it's back to the drawing board in search of an alternative.

By: Lynne W., Homeowner  (Panama City FL)

We received our fan promptly from YLighting (not the case with some of the other companies we have delt with in this remodel!) the nice clean lines of the fan have prompted many compliments from thoes who see it. it is nice to have a fan that adds to the beauty of our kitchen. our electrician said we went together very easily, the sign of a well built fan. what i like about it is that it's operation is virtually silent.

By: kate m., Homeowner  (santa barbara, CA)

Easy to install and works really well. Virtually silent. Arrived at the onset of a heat wave!

By: Michael S., Homeowner  (Toronto)

There is no better fan as far as aesthetics. It's also quiet. It blends perfectly into the room.

By: Alex V.,

Modern, clean and simple designed brushed aluminum ceiling fan is controlled by a hand held remote. It arrived on time in good condition, and works exactly as I had hoped. I am thrilled.

I chose this model and manufacturer because of the size and color options and reputation for a quality product. But of course, the biggest reason was for its clean design that works well both with modern and traditional furnishings. And I hate air conditioning, so I needed something that would be cooling and quiet. MFC delivers on all fronts. And YLighting made ordering and receiving it a breezed

We just had this fan installed yesterday, so I can't speak for how it wears, but so far it's terrific. We put it in our living room, which has double height ceilings. We really needed something that would move the air, and this fan is really powerful. It looks great, and there were no problems with the installation. Two little complaints: why, on a switch with 4 speeds, would 4 be the slowest and 1 be the fastest? Also, the fan, when it's on its highest speed, wobbles a bit. We've got it on the longest rod,which may contribute to the problem. Overall, though, great fan and a great value.

I have purchased many fans, but Modern Fans seem to be one of the best quality for the money. This fan has machined metal finish which is really nice. I think the mark of a great fan is perfectly balanced blades so no wobble is present. This one fails that. This is a manufacturing issue and not design. I haven't had a chance to balance with the kit provided but its not as bad as other fans like an emerson I bought.

I am very pleased so far, with the Ball Ceiling Fan. Visually it is elegantly proportioned. Design wise it is clean, minimal and functional.

I have been waiting for years to purchase this fan and finally needed one. It was worth the wait.

Yes, I will order another Modern Fan from your company.

Quick delivery, best prices.

By: Barbara Z., Homeowner  (San Diego)

Everything from start to finish, was seamless. When I called to ask about the remote vs wall control, the fellow I spoke with recommended the Maestro 7 speed wall control....it's fantastic! We can have the lowest of low and the screaming high without a hitch....this fan works beautifully! We love the look of it and it is super quiet too! This is a 5 star product and Y Lighting gave us 5 star service!

By: Gail B., Homeowner  (denver)

As a commercial designer and homeowner(this fan went in my home)lighting and accessories are selected after much consideration and research. I read the reviews and the fans are indeed beautiful however I prefer the aesthetics of the fan without the light. However, I bought two of the fans with lights, one in the aluminum to go in my family room/kitchen and a white one to go in the master bedroom. Function before form in this case.

The light is functional and a bonus I just wish they were able to design it rounded. The nice thing is they include both the light and ball case.

We had it installed by a professional electrician so I don't about the ease of installing it yourself but he had no problems.

The fan is a good value. It is made well at a reasonable cost. Its clean lines work in our modern yet aclectic interior. It is quiet and easy to operate. We bought the remote and just have to find it from time to time! I am hoping it cuts down on the A/C this summer with the high cost of fuel.

I have noticed that the place is fresher smelling now that we can move the air.

Y lighting has great prices, is easy to order from, has a wonderful selection, ships quickly, packs well with no damage. What more can you ask for?

By: D Jung, Homeowner  (Bay Area)

I installed one of these fans in my home office last year, and am installing one in the master bedroom now. The classic design of the fan is obvious, but the build quality is what makes it--very well made and performs just as you would expect.

By: Mid-Century Rambler, Homeowner  (Houston, TX)

This fan is great. Love the way it looks with the brushed aluminum. It's very quiet at all fan speeds. At the 2 higher speeds though, it does wobble back & forth a tiny bit, but it's very secure in the ceiling and isn't going anywhere. The separate dimmer control that we bought is great, except it's odd that the "1" setting is full blast, "4" is the lowest speed, and "0" is off.

By: Diana M., Homeowner  (Brooklyn, NY)

I love my new fan ,it goes with my new condo very well,it lookes great and it workes fine!

By: PRITI S., Homeowner  (chicago,il,USA)

The fan is quiet even at the highest setting and creates a terrific air flow at each setting. Is very attractive. We needed the shorter blade for our size room and we are still very happy with the way it looks and performs. We put it in ourselves and the installation was easier than our previous fan. I also want to add that customer service was very helpful when I called with questions, and we ended up with a perfect fan for our room.

By: Jennifer K., Homeowner  (California)

This simple modern-style fan fits seamlessly into house styles of many eras. The larger model has silently moved the air on the designer-built screened porch addition to my Arts & Crafts home. During our 24-hour-a-day hot summers, your fan has made the porch comfortable on all but 14 days during the last two summer seasons. This outstanding performance convinced me to order a second smaller model for my currently under-construction petite, independent writing studio. The heat is in the floor and the Ball fan will keep the warm air around me in the winter and cool me in the summer. Yea!

By: Carol H., Homeowner

When we were remodeling our house, my wife and I wanted a fan with a real distinct look. My brother had one of these, and we decided to give it a try. WOW. I was blown away by the look of the fan. The performance was also great. It's quiet, yet powerful. It makes any room feel and look modern. A must buy!!!

By: Carlos S., Homeowner  (Atlanta, GA)

fan not connected yet, but great service from y lighting

By: Lauren, Homeowner  (new york)

I havejust purchased the second Ball Ceiling Fan for my new house after being very satisfied with the first. Elegant modern fan with variable fan speed and dimmable halogen lighting - it's perfect!

By: Michelle Y., Architect  (Montpelier, VT)

I normally do not order large items online, but this was well worth it. I was surprised how fast the fan showed up, and it is a great modern accent for my bedroom. After months of searching expensive fixtures, the Ball Ceiling Fan ended up being the perfect fit. Great price too!

By: Liz, Designer  (Chicago, IL)

Looks really modern and it goes well with home with modern looks!!

Love the fan with zero noise.

Love the brightness of the light.

Handheld remote control works flawlessly.

Great ceiling fan!!

By: JSK, Homeowner  (Chicago, IL)

This is a great fan for a modern room. It's got style. It arrived within days of ordering. Thanks so much.

By: Pamela G.,

Fast shipping and great price on fan!

By: Angela H., Homeowner  (Hoboken)

The ball fan is well crafted and has a solid feel when you assemble it. It's modern and stylish but not over the top. Timeless...

By: jim r., Homeowner  (columbus)

Product looks great, easy assembly, quick ship

By: Melissa W., Homeowner  (Louisiana)

Very well designed - simple, sleek, timeless and is simply in a league of its own.

By: Ricky L., Homeowner  (Toronto)

This works perfectly in our 2nd bedroom and enhances the contemporary look of the room.

By: Lisa T., Homeowner  (Evanston, IL USA)

The fans by Modern Fan company are incredible. High quality craftmanship both aesthetically and mechanically. The fan runs silently and really outputs. Design wise, anyone with a modern tendency will appreciate the simplistic minimal design.

By: penumbra, Architect  (baltimore MD)

Sleek look, quiet, good quality fan.

By: zettie f., Homeowner  (Maryland)

We have georgian home that was built in 1925, and needed 2 new ceiling fans in our sunroom. I wanted fans that would not be a center of attention, and just "disappear" into the ceiling, and also not look like the contractor grade junk at Home Depot. This fan is great qualilty, has nice clean lines for modern, or more transitional/classic decor, and we are very pleased. They arrived in a timely fashion through ground shipping, and we would order again.

By: Nichole E., Homeowner  (Racine, WI)

Clean design and ships with multiple shaft lengths which is helpful. Also, when ordering the prompt for wall switches and other accessories needed was most helpful.

By: Frank R., Architect  (San Antonio, TX)

We were looking for ceiling fans to compliment our mid-century modern house and the ball fan was perfect! Easy installation, works great, and gives us the

modern feel we were looking for! We love them! And with the free shipping we

will probably order a couple more in the near future!

By: Patricia F., Homeowner  (Indio, CA)

I needed a modern fan with a light and a remote control for use in my loft bedroom. The Ball Fan is perfect...ultra quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep.

By: June S., Homeowner  (Everett, MA 02149)

Very good product

By: kestutis p.,   (Naperville IL)

Clean modern lines. Looks amazing and works really well. Easy ordering. Quick free delivery. Clear assembly instructions with photos. It took me about an hour to assemble/install. Few tools required. Used the controller with the wired fan and remote light... very easy to wire myself and works really well. The light even dims.

My only small design complaint is that there is one screw head showing on each of the fan blades. It's minor, but possibly worth noting.

I'd love to order this same fan to replace all of the other fans in my house!

By: Sunny M., Homeowner  (Germantown, Tennessee)

Well packaged. Has not yet been installed as will be done by GC over the summer. Was a little surprised at the faux wood texture on the painted blades of the fan. Cannot yet speak to ease of installation or general quietness.

Fan is all that was advertised. Ylighting price was lowest I could find, their website had all the info I needed, and the shipping worked fine. The fan came with great instructions and it installed beautifully. Very happy with this fan & am considering getting a second for another room.

By: Arlington J., Homeowner  (Arlington, Virginia)

we love this fan. it looks great & very minimal in our modern home. The remote is simple & easy to use.

By: michael, Homeowner  (los angeles)

Well designed, minimal, and quiet. I purchased 4 of these fans for my home and love the function and design.

By: marcomos, Homeowner  (New York, NY USA)

I've used these in renovating 2 places. They are simple and beautiful. The work with most any design aesthetic. Highly recommended.

By: HW, Homeowner  (NYC)

Easy to order. Quick to ship. Great prices for a quality product! Thanks!

By: Jenny M., Homeowner  (Arkansas)

It's very difficult to find contemporary fans with simple lines. This is a great looking fan without all the fuss. Plus, it's energy star rated for the conscious minded buyer! We have yet to install it, but I can't wait to see it in place and plan on purchasing more Modern Fans for our home in the near future.

By: Homeowner and Designer, Designer  (Boise, ID)

This is a great ceiling fan, very sleek and modern design at an affordable price. I purchased a total of nine for my new house, including 2 for an outdoor screen porch. Wonderful. One stopped working 6 months later. The manufacturer shipped me a new one and sent a shipping label to return the defective one. Couldn't have been easier or more convenient. Very impressed with the customer service. You can't go wrong with this fan.

By: Scott C., Homeowner  (Montross, VA)

I love this fan that I purchased for my ranch home. Very sleek design and YLighting's customer service is fantastic. Shipped the same day as I ordered and was delivered the following day!

By: Laura B., Homeowner  (Portland, OR)

Very pleased with the modern "ball" ceiling fan - it's quiet, and it looks simple and elegant in our contemporary-designed room.

By: D T, Homeowner  (NYC)

Its a great fan - we put it in our last apt, and just installed 2 more in a new house. The perfect simple, modern and unobtrusive fan .. works great too.

By: CBennett, Homeowner  (New York, NY)

This fan is well priced and dependable. I have used it in very modest to ulta expensive homes. A great bonus is that it is flexible for different ceiling conditions from flat to sloped (without a special mounting bracket).

By: John D., Architect  (Houston, Texas)

These fans are great. Very quiet, easy to assemble and install, and if you're looking for a sleek, unobtrusive look, the Ball fan is it. I bought 4 of them, and the only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 is that the light globes on two of them arrived cracked. Ylighting gave me amazing customer service in that they shipped out replacements the morning after I reported the problem. Well done! They will look great in any modern, contemporary, or mid-century environment....better without the light kits, but I needed the light.

By: Steven S, Homeowner  (New Mexico)

I've always wanted these fans after seeing them in Dwell and was happy to find out they are affordable for how much nicer they are than the typical choices at Lowes and Home Depot. Most specialty stores in Austin mark them up a lot more, so ordering them on line worked out the best. The llok and great and work great. No complaints.

By: michelle s., Homeowner  (austin, tx)

I bought and installed this fan a couple of weeks ago an absolutely love it! The fan came with very easy to follow instructions. It took me less than an hour to install. The fan makes an elegant addition to any room. I was very suprised by how quiet this fan was....especially for the mount of air in moves.

I get quite a lot of compliments on it...!

By: James C., Homeowner  (Atlanta)

I purchased these fans for a new house I'm building in downtown Austin. Modern minimalist simple architecture required the same in appliances, lighting and fans. I was impressed with the YLighting support, I called in to inquire about switches and received excellent advice. In the end, the fans were perfect, the technical support much appreciated and the value was in the service.

By: Jeremy C., Homeowner  (Austin)

Could not be happier with this fan. The design is cool. It runs quietly while really moving the air around well.

By: Rob L., Homeowner  (St. Louis)

It is stylist and funtional. It was easy to install and customer service was excellet. We are planning in ordering a second one for our master bedroom. I will recommend this product.

By: Doug E., Homeowner  (Orlando, Fl USA)

The fan looks great in clean lined interiors. The different blade sizes make it appropriate for large and small rooms. The white fan works well with white ceilings.

By: Celeste E. Davis Inc.,   (Washington, DC)

It took very little time to install, looks great (with maple blades and integrated light) and runs very quiet. No balancing was necessary.

The handheld remote work does a good job - I love that we can dim the light!

By: Martin, Homeowner  (Chicago)

We remodeled are farmhouse and removed all of the old wood-colored bulky fans and replaced them with this white modern fan and we love it! They blend into the ceiling and are not obtrusive. Everyone loves the sleek, modern design.

By: Kelley W., Homeowner  (Olney, MD USA)

The Ball Ceiling Fan has quality construction, was easy to install, and blends in very well with the modern decor of my new home. I opted for the silver with 42" blades, the light kit, and the dual light/fan speed adjustment switches and am very pleased with the way that things turned out.

Also, while Modern Fan Company products are available elsewhere, YLighting's prices are among the best; no complaints about their service and quick delivery time either.

By: Paul, Homeowner  (Chicago, IL)

sleeker than a lot of other stainless models, quiet operation. good deal.

By: arlene s., Homeowner  (palm springs,ca.)

I had a cheap white ceiling fan on my front porch. Once my house was painted and new door hardware and exterior lighting were installed, the fan looked out of place. I had made several purchases for my new home through Ylighting, and decided to check out their ceiling fan collection. The information on the web site was fantastic, and I was able to order a new fan, at a reasonable price, through Ylighting. It looks great on the front porch. (It works well, too.)

By: Suzanne, Homeowner  (Raleigh, NC)

We were delighted w/ our two new ball fans, they are stylish, quite and really effective. Service was prompt and professional, I wouldn't hesitate to shop with Y lighting again.

By: Clint C., Homeowner  (vancouver bc)

Lovely addition to my room.

By: Mark, Homeowner  (NY)

We looked at all the ceiling fans that are available and found that the Modern fans are the best by all measures. We have not yet installed ours due to the construction schedule. But plan to order more for the next phase of the building project.

Thanks to YLighting for such a competitive price. We'll be back for lighting and more fans.

I recently purchased a new house and one of the first things I had to do was remove the two 20-year-old wood fans with brass trim from the living room. I saw the Modern Fan Company Ball fans and new right away they would be great in my living room. The installation instructions were very easy to following and I liked that the fan came with a few down rods, the longest of which fit my needs. The fans are gorgeous, quiet and a real attention getter. They are very modern without the overly industrial look of some other fans. In short they fit my KISS (keep it simple stupid) design style.

Highly recommended.

By: Kalim, Homeowner  (Houston)

The fan is a good size for a newer home with more open space. I recommend putting a dimmer with this product because the fan moves so fast it's scary. I am extremely satisfied with this product and recommend it highly.

By: Raymond S., Homeowner  (Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA)

I am not a fan of ceiling fans but we needed one! The ball ceiling fan is simple and beautiful and we are very happy with it. We had to go with a remote only, which works great. I just wish that there was an even slower setting for the fan.

By: Mika,   (Los Angeles)

Unfortunately we have not used our fans as yet because we are in the process of remodeling an apartment. However, our son and daughter-in-law have the fans and we love them. They look and work great.

By: Ron, Homeowner  (New York, NY USA)

This is my second Modern Fan and I am extremely satisfied with it. It is beautifully designed and works silently - a big plus since this fan is located in my bedroom.

By: Kathryn, Homeowner  (Chicago)

I think for the price it is a great

product.

By: Julie G., Homeowner

The design is understated, retro, and sexy. And at the same time moves air silently and powerfully.

By: Brooklyn, Homeowner  (Brooklyn New York)

Fast shipping to Canada. Great design and function. Very happy with this purchase

By: Chad, Homeowner  (Toronto)

Purchased five of these for a new AZ home. Good quality products came on time--very happy with them.

By: Jane C., Homeowner  (Tucson, AZ)

The Ball ceiling fan is the essence of contemporary modern design, beautifully minimalist so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, but gorgeous should anyone look up and see it, and it functions like a charm.
