As a 61 yr old electrician ( semi retired) I have installed many fans, but rate this a dud. As others have noted there is barely room for the receiver to squeeze into the housing. After modifying the mount bracket to accommodate this, and then powering it all up - nothing. Suspect a faulty receiver. Rang the support no in Melbourne, and yes the guys were very helpful, but not their fault the item is defective. Went through all the usual electrical fault finding with them and we concluded: refund or service call. Pulled it down, disassembled and back to Aldi for a refund!

I found two timber 3 blade fans with brushed metal console on sale at Aldi. Mine are the style without lights. Bought both hoping for the best. Both installed and they look amazing, Equivalent to $300 to $400 fans sold in the major retailers. These are the only fans I have ever had that don't make a sound nor shake about. Remote works fine although you do have to get closer to the fan than usual. Very pleased overall. Went to another Aldi and found the last remaining black metal fan. Sparky was so impressed he sent his wife looking for more.
