We often have to brace ourselves to fork out more cash to guarantee quality, but the KDK M48SG ceiling fan offers KDK’s famous quality that’s built to last. While it’s the only fan using older AC motor tech on this list, you can expect a silent, strong companion for the long haul with its permanently lubricated mechanism that ensures fuss-free operation even after years of use. Thanks to its mono-coloured, simple industrial style, it’ll also fit seamlessly into most minimalist style homes. 

At a price of just $108, it’s no surprise that you won’t be getting fancy bells and whistles like timers, app compatibility and remote controls – its 5 speeds are accessed via a wall-mounted switch.

Pro tip: Older AC fans are often more affordable, but DC fans can give energy savings in the long run – plus they work better with remote controls and often are sleeker.
