Smart 44in 3-Blade Ceiling Fan with LED Light Kit & Remote Control, Matte White, 2700K, Alexa & Google Assistant Compatible, Ideal for Living Room, Bedroom, and Patio

I am usually lazy and don’t write long reviews, however, seeing some bad reviews, I thought of clarifying certain things about this fan. BTW, I am not a professional reviewer and I did not get this fan free to review. I paid full price at Amazon as I was looking to upgrade my living room fan and had four main requirements: 1) Smart fan that can work with Alexa and Google Home, 2) Sliver grey color to match, 3) contemporary looks and 4) light module with >3500K daylight.After researching various sites, we finally agreed on Axis fan by modern forms as it was checking all our four boxes. Fan arrived promptly with Amazon Prime shipping. It met the expectations as far as contemporary looks and silver-grey color to match our living room decor.The hardest part which has been mentioned by other reviewers was the installation and the poor instructions. I had to call their tech support 3-times before installation. I am fairly tech-savvy and usually do not read instructions unless I get stuck. Since, I had never installed a fan, I thought of reading the instructions. It seems like one of the engineers wrote the instructions and added the pictures with a lot of assumptions and not thinking about end-users.Here is the first tip: Read the TEXT in the instructions and not go the pictures only. Luckily, their technical support and customer support is readily available. You can talk to the real person and not bots. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and nice; however, they are still learning and are also challenged by the poor instructions.If you are replacing an older fan which was my case, DO NOT USE the existing fan mount. Given that mounts are universal as far as holding fan is concerned, I was tempted to do that. However, this smart fan comes with a WIFI receiver which slides into the mounting bracket that came with the fan.The fan came with super long electrical cables and a metal safety cable. Given that it is so compact, there is no way to fold the cables and store in the fan canopy, you need to cut the extra electrical cables and keep the length based on your downrod size. The canopy will not hold the extra length of cables. The safety cable is also very long and useless. I ended up cutting it.After you make all the connections, the challenge is to neatly tuck the receiver into the mounting bracket. The picture in the manual is useless. The receiver slides with a flat side facing ceiling into the mounting bracket leaving barely any room to tuck the extra wires. That is the reason you cannot afford to have extra wires.The fan comes with a nice wall control which I have not installed yet.About the smart fan feature, it was fairly painless to setup. All you need to do is install their app on a smartphone. Use your existing Google account to log in. It will go through a clunky process of temporarily connecting to your WIFI on a smartphone (old process, but works). Once you have the app running, you can control LED light and fan with nice controls on a smartphone. To connect with Alexa and google home, simply go to the Alexa app and search for “modern forms” in the skill section and link your account.Despite the painful process of installation, I am very happy with the airflow, quietness, and modern looks of this fan. My only complaint at this point is the LED light despite being 3500K yet it is not white. I reached out to customer support and they are sending me a new LED module.Overall, I am giving it 5 stars, as the fan is excellent in all aspects (except for instructions) and the technical/customer support is awesome.
