We Put Ceiling Fans to the Test: The 10 Best Ceiling Fans

Let's be honest: most ceiling fan models look very similar and it is not always immediately clear from the product descriptions in online shops how the many different ceiling fans differ. Yet there are so many criteria that you can use to judge whether a ceiling fan is suitable for your needs. We want to help you choose the right windbringer and have carried out a ceiling fan test for you, for which we have closely examined ceiling fans with and without light.

Volume, design, functionality: We show you which ceiling fans are particularly appealing in the various disciplines. These are our winners on the ceiling fan test:

Number 1 in Terms of Control Options and Range of Functions

The Mantra ALISIO is our test winner when it comes to evaluating the range of functions and control options for ceiling fans. Here it is far ahead of many other ceiling fans.

The Mantra ALISIO is a smart home ceiling fan that you can control via app or remote control, as you may already know from your lighting. Treat yourself to the comfort of a Smart Home ceiling fan and control it from the comfort of your bed or sofa using your smartphone. The Mantra ALISIO is a ceiling fan with light. Both components - light and fan - can be controlled centrally with one device. In addition to the basic functions

• Switch on fan
• Switch off fan
• Switch on light
• Switch off light

there are also many other smart functions available that make using the ceiling fan convenient, for example:

• Timer function for the fan and the light
• Change the direction of rotation: Flexible switching from forward to reverse rotation
• Control speed levels with the touch of a finger: Slow, medium or fast mit einem Fingertipp regeln: Langsam, mittel oder schnell
• Adjust light colour and colour temperature: Bright, dark, warm white or cool white light

The Mantra ALISIO ceiling fan is Bluetooth-enabled and therefore compatible with many Smart Home systems. Apart from being a very modern ceiling fan with its simple, elegant design, the ALISIO convinces us all along the line with its control options. The right choice if you love smart solutions.

The quiet one

The noise level is one of the most important selection criteria for ceiling fans: they should be quiet - even at the higher speed levels. The ceiling fan Morino belongs to the very quiet ceiling fans and is therefore the ideal ceiling fan for bedrooms or offices with a room size of up to 20 sqm. Even in the higher operating levels, it is hardly audible and produces even, soothing air blasts. With its 120 cm diameter and its slightly curved rotor blades, it ensures a high air turnover, even in the particularly energy-saving, slow operating level. The Morino ceiling fan with light is available in two different designs: in the combination nickel-matt-silver or brown. It can be controlled by remote control and the light source can be replaced.

The advantages of the Morino ceiling fan at a glance:

• very quiet
• with light
• in different designs

Our price-performance winner without light

The price-performance winner among the ceiling fans without light is the Fossa ceiling fan. "Fossa" is a particularly quiet ceiling fan and, because of its simple design, a popular choice for home styles of all kinds. Everything about it is just right - including the price!

The Fossa ceiling fan - that's why it's our price-performance winner:

• cheap
• simple design
• quiet
• energy efficient

The price-performance winner with light

Our Morea ceiling fan with light is popular with those who like classic, antique or baroque furnishings because of its antique design made of dark wood and with old brass ornaments.

An affordable ceiling fan that doesn't compromise on functionality and quality despite its low price. The Morea ceiling fan is

• quiet,
• equipped with integrated lighting,
• has 3 operating levels,
• a pull switch and
• is inexpensive to buy.

Morea shares the place on the podium with our Piraeus ceiling fan.

The Piraeus ceiling fan without blades offers many practical functions at a low purchase price, but could not be more visually different from the Morea wooden fan with its modern design. Piraeus is suitable for anyone for whom it is important that the fan matches the modern interior. The light colour of this ceiling fan can be regulated by remote control. An additional feature is the starry sky function - like falling asleep under an open sky on a mild summer night.

The energy-efficient one

Not only does it look good, but its five rotor blades ensure a high air turnover, which makes it our energy-efficient test winner: the Morino ceiling fan! It provides the necessary cooling even in large rooms between 30-40 sqm!

The modern

The Moli ceiling fan - a ceiling fan with light disguised as a light. The rotor blades are cleverly hidden under a cover so that the ceiling fan is not even recognisable as such.

The light of the LED lamp can be conveniently controlled by remote control. With its modern look, the Moli ceiling fan blends harmoniously into any style of living and does not disturb the room image one bit. This makes it the test winner among modern ceiling fans.

Its advantages at a glance:

• disguised as a light
• Ceiling fan with remote control
• light and fan in one
• energy-saving LED lighting
• with timer function for light and fan
• colour change possible

The beautiful one

The "Bauro" fan is a stylish ceiling fan. With remote control and three speed settings, it has everything a modern ceiling fan needs. The best choice for those looking for a ceiling fan with a sleek and natural design.

• special design
• inconspicuous
• with remote control

The wooden one

Wood is one of the most popular materials for ceiling fans - the selection of wooden ceiling fans is correspondingly large.

The Hausvik ceiling fan is our recommendation, because it is more changeable than many similar models: The rotor blades can be hung with the brown or white side facing downwards, so you can change the colour of the ceiling fan as you wish. Wood in the rustic, natural version or dipped in a modern, minimalist shade: You decide.

Other special features:

• suitable for summer and winter operation
• 3 speed levels
• with remote control

The nostalgic one

With the vintage or industrial style, you can go on a small, stylish journey through time. So ceiling fans inspired by these styles also stand out with their special design. 

At first glance, the Wemude ceiling fan looks like a ceiling light, as it is equipped with four adjustable light heads. In addition to these advantages, the all-rounder also brings

• 3 speed levels and
• and a remote control.

The Wemude ceiling fan is deliberately inspired by the typical factory character that makes up the rustic and rough industrial style. You can hardly get more retro flair than this!

The boho tried and tested

Boho is a style and a trend that proves itself every year. No wonder, because the natural look can be combined with any type of furnishing and radiates homeliness, security and elegance without being obtrusive. Matching to this, the Mulstrand ceiling fan offers a gentle cooling on hot days.

Not only stylish, but above all functional - that's what you get with the Mulstrand ceiling fan:

• 3 speed levels
• equipped with lights
• dimmable and controllable by remote control
• suitable for rooms with 25-30 sqm
