CO-Z Reversible Fan

Two-blade ceiling fans are hard to come by, but we found this super-trendy indoor version with three speed settings at Overstock — and guess what? It’s on sale! Made from hard-wearing ABS plastic, this fan comes with an energy-efficient LED light that produces a natural ambience for relaxing evenings indoors.

One of its satisfied buyers wrote, “Love the Modern look. Great price with a fan and an LED light [and] also a remote. Goes great with a modern décor. We purchased four for our lower level game room and office.” 

Added another: “This fan has garnered many compliments thus far. It’s so different from any fan we’ve had in the past and since it only has two blades. [You would] think it would not adequately cool the space, but it does. It’s also very sleek, modern, and pretty.”

Honeywell Palm Island Tropical Fan

Where to buy: $98.99 (Originally $115.67), Amazon 

Outdoor ceiling fans provide an array of benefits, from keeping you cool on stuffy days to keeping insects at bay. This Honeywell Palm Island tropical number not only does just that, it does it in style, with bronze, sand, and white options available that can also be used indoors. 

A retired engineer even gave it five-stars, writing, “I can vouch that no fan with this much square inch of fan blade at this angle can possibly not move a good volume of air… This larger palm leaf blade design and the four-speed option caused me to try this fan and I am glad I did."

Hunter Fan Company Fan

Where to buy: $119.99, Amazon 

For some, there's also something soothing about the white noise from a fan's hum. For others, its a constant nuisance that can't be erased. Hunter, which was founded more than 130 years ago, is not only one of the oldest ceiling fan companies around, its one of the most trusted fan manufacturers in the game, so naturally, they have answer for the latter group.

The brand's sleek, low ceiling fan features “whisper wind” motor technology, meaning you won’t be able to hear it — even if it’s on full power. It comes with a remote for controlling both the fan and the light. 

“I have two of these,” reads Angelica’s review of this product. “They are whisper quiet." Sounds heavenly to us!

Minka-Aire Fan

Where to buy: $279.95, Amazon

Is it a spaceship, is it a satellite, or is it a ceiling fan? Looking like it came straight from the future, this ultra-modern LED “wave” model turns traditional styles on their ear. It’s available in six shades (including black and white), but we’re particularly crushing on the pictured driftwood gray version. Its dimmable light feature helps to create a relaxing atmosphere, and unlike some ceiling fans, Minka-Aire's is quite easy to install.

“[I have] a rather unusual decorating style and needed a ceiling light and fan that was up to the challenge,” we read from one five-star reviewer. “Those in the $700+ range fit the bill, but were out of my price range. This is my Goldilocks find. I'm getting a second one.”
