56″ Delta in White. Love my Delta fans. I am thrilled with my new white Delta fans for two living areas. They are sleek and minimalist which was exactly what I was after. Super effective and quiet. Quality at a great price. The customer service provided by 360 fans was also very impressive and highly recommend them. I’ll definitely buy more of these to replace older fans in bedrooms that are showing signs of rust.

Delta 56″ Bronze/Koa. Great choice for us. Ordered 2 of these for our 6m x8.5m deck with roof/ceiling area 9m x 7.5m. They do a great job. Glad we ordered 2 – good coverage. The remote controls are great &, as we live in the sub-tropical Northern Rivers, we often have both fans on top speed (which helps with mozzies & midges too!) and they’re not noisy. The bronze look is very contemporary on the off-white ceiling too – classy! They came very quickly after ordering. Very happy!

56″ Delta in Bronze/Koa. Elegantly stunning. Purchased 2 of these stunning fans to replace older AC fans in the Alfresco. Prompt delivery to our door by ThreeSixty, an ease to install (by a licenced electrician) and set in to motion. Very quite and an ease to operate. I would highly recommend these fans for new or replacement installs.

56″ FlatJET DC in Matte White. Big quality great servcie. I did some research on fans availble in-line as COVID meant there was no way to see any product firsthand. All the research led me back to 360 as what appeared to be a reputable supplier. Having received the fan as ordered in good time I couldn’t be happier with the quality. Even my electrician commented that he thought this was really high quality compared to other products. I’m so glad I bought from 360 fans.

56″ FlatJET (3/4/5) in Black with LED Light. Best fan ever. This fan is brilliant. It’s silent and generates huge air flow. It has 6 speed options so we are always able to find a comfortable setting. I’ll be installing these in each room. Only downside is that it only comes in one size. I would love a smaller option to put in our office.

Excellent fan, big air mover. Bought three of these fans in DC version from our local lighting store in Murwillumbah. These fans are quiet and provide big airflow . The remote is cool with 8 speeds,( we only ever use low speed or maybe medium) forwards and reverse and also has a couple of timer settings. DC means cheap to run. Bit disappointed with being able to see the blade screws from below , the cover should be bigger, but this is not a big issue. Aaron and Daniella recommended the fan, so if it is good enough for them it is good enough for me.

FANtastic! I bought 4 of these in black to replace the older ceiling fans I had. The Trinity DC fans are well built, clean and cool in their design, quiet and smooth in their aciton. They simply work well! The electrician who installed them commented on how well engineered they are. The remote is really cool, and the sea breeze mode is funky. Great product at a great price. Thanks

This is a great fan, purchased two 48” for a 60m2 loft room. They’re so quiet but very powerful and plenty of options with 8 settings, reverse and breeze cycles. Also great service from 360 as one had motor issues after installation. Called in the morning and they came out with a new one and fixed it that same day. Couldn’t ask for better service. Very happy, thank you!

56″ Trinity DC ceiling fan in Black. We got this fan for a new office upstairs in our house, the room faces west and gets a bit warm in the afternoon. The 56″ Trinity fan cools the area off beautifully with it’s 8 settings, timer function and a sea breeze setting to add to an already great fan. Thoroughly recommended and the service is great to boot.

Pretty amazing. The only small issue we had was that the ceiling cap does not seem to be quite large enough to house all the circuitry, so the electrician could not get them all flush right up against the ceiling. He actually had to extend some wires to get them as close as he did, but it has still left us with a gap between the ceiling and where the cap begins. Aside from that, the performance of these is amazing. Never would have believed that completely silent fans existed until i heard these. Also, the amount of air they push is beyond belief. We’ve never needed to go past 1. The timer function is also extremely useful.

Trinity fan with light. We bought the 56” trinity fan with light for our bedroom. Our bedroom has a westerly facing window and so the room is hot. After installing the fan it’s made a huge difference. The fan actually feels like an air conditioner is on. The fan is so quiet and has 8 speeds. It’s fantastic and we highly recommend it. We are actually buying the fan now for other areas of the house.

52″ Arumi AC ceiling fan

The Arumi ceiling fan is our best bedroom airflow choice as it is available in a 52″ blade span (suitable for most bedrooms), uses polymer blades for quiet airflow and the aerodynamic design of the blades provide excellent airflow. The lack of size options and finishes means the Arumi won’t be the right fit for all spaces. But in terms of sheer airflow output, it tops our list for the standard bedroom-sized fans. For more options and recommendations, consider our Top 5 Best Bedroom Ceiling Fans.

Arumi Ceiling Fan Pewter Koa LED Light

What’s to love:

  • Very powerful airflow
  • Aerodynamic airfoil blade design
  • Timber aesthetic blades crafted from polymer
  • Polymer blades offer quiet airflow
  • Polymer blades are easy to maintain and long-lasting
  • Reliable AC motor technology
  • Remote control available
  • Summer/Winter modes

Some things to keep in mind:

  • Only available in one size
 

The 52″ Arumi ceiling fan blends a modern design with aerodynamic performance to create a robust cooling solution for your contemporary decor. Combining a stylish and compact motor with three all-weather polymer blades, the Arumi includes a wall control as standard and is LED light kit adaptable. The sweeping and elegant high-quality ABS blade design adds a refined form to the function of the Arumi fan. The variable blade pitch from blade tip to motor provides highly efficient and quiet airflow.

52″ Arumi in Pewter with Light. I bought 2 with lights, they look great. They look like they’re special and high quality, it’s good that they are Australian designed with after sales support available here as well. Plenty of breeze on high setting including when I’m seated 5m away, low setting has a nice gentle breeze when sitting directly under. I was a bit concerned they might look too bulky based on the web pics, but they aren’t at all. The light seems to be a ‘warm’ tone, it would have been good to have a choice of warm or cool, but that’s just me being picky, I love the fans.
