There are plenty of reasons why folks select flush mount ceiling fans, particularly if they have rather low ceilings or phenomenally tall folks in their houses. Obviously you don’t want a fan that hangs low enough for someone to hit their head on it. There are several types of flush mounted fans available for just such eventualities. Sadly, many of them don’t offer the air circulation you expect from ceiling fans due to the short distance between the blades and the ceiling. Some companies, however, are addressing this issue and producing flush mount ceiling fans that do move the air better.

Hugger makes several lines of flush mount fans that are equivalent to or better than regular ceiling fans. These fans are rated 5 in quality while the general average for other ceiling fans is three. The airflow is 6,618 compared to 5,755 with other fans. While efficiency, as defined by the EPA, doesn’t quite measure up to the average of 76, it’s still a good score of 75. These fans use barely more wattage than regular fans which means that they will cost you a little more to run. You are going to love the easy, vertical design that uses a solid column of support, because this gives the fan a visually-appealing look.

Minka also produces outstanding flush mounted fans that will complement any decor with their smooth, modern styling. While falling below regular fans and Hugger fans in some areas, these models also rate better than even in one or two applications. For example, their quality is four which is lower than Hugger but higher than average. They have an airflow of 6,300 which is slightly below Hugger and above average, a potency rating of 107, which is noticeably above average as well as other brands, and wattage of just 59 which will result in cheaper price of operation.

You’ve potentially heard about Casablanca fans being some of the finest on the market. However, their flush mounted fans aren’t quite up to their common standard. They received a high quality rating of 4, airflow of 4,379 which is significantly below average, a potency rating of 69, and a wattage score of 69. This goes to show you that even if a fan looks pretty and has a top quality brand, it isn’t always a great choice when it comes to flush mounted ceiling fans.
