I needed a ceiling fan for my porch that is only 8 feet tall and gets wet from the rain. I searched all over, and finally found this fan made by Minka Aire called the Concept II Wet. This ceiling fan is the only hugger fan that I could find that is made for outdoors where it is damp or even wet (meaning it can get rained on). It is a fantastic quality fan and I could not be more please with the way it performs. It was very easy to install...and even came with a wall control. I got a remote control that was optional that works along with the wall control as well. It even has a built-in light fixture that is pretty much flush with the bottom of the fan and is dimmable from both the wall control and remote control.

I love this fan so much, I bought more to put one in my kids rooms, my bathroom, my kitchen as well as in my garage. By the way, it comes in brushed nickel, white, and a bronze colors, but I liked the brushed nickel the best. Only negative thing I can say is that it cost about $260.00, which at first sounded like a bit much, but after I installed them I can see why. It really is a good quality high performance product.
