I bought two of these Minke-Aire Concept II fans and have both installed in a largish living, kitchen, dining area in Florida. They project the modern, white look I wanted and they move a lot of air, even with only three blades (also modern looking and made of bright white plastic instead of being painted white). I wanted a light, too, and when off, these fans look like there is no light. The glass light cover looks just like the metal cover that comes with the fan, which could be installed instead -- a good look.I researched flush mount fans purposely because I have barely 8-foot ceilings and am 6-feet tall myself. I didn't want old-style fan with the three-light fixture hanging below. However, even though these fans in total hang down from the ceiling about an inch less than old-style hugger fans, the blades themselves twirl away about 1/2 inch LOWER. This I don't like but have accepted -- so four stars.
