When selecting a cheap ceiling fan for your home, the size of the fan is one of the most important considerations. The blade span, or the diameter of the circular area covered by the rotating blades, should be matched to the square footage of the room.
For small rooms under 9.3 square metres, a blade span of 130-140cm works well. Larger living rooms or outdoor areas over 37 square metres may need a larger 150-165cm blade span for proper airflow.
The blade span or size has the biggest impact on a ceiling fan's airflow performance. Larger blade spans create more air movement and better circulation in a room compared to smaller blade sizes. The blade design, including factors like the blade pitch, shape, and curvature, also affects airflow but typically to a lesser degree than blade size.
The number of blades also impacts airflow, though to a lesser degree than blade span. You’ll notice that you have a choice of three or four blade ceiling fans. Generally, 4-blade fans have a greater total blade surface area and can therefore circulate more air than 3-blade models when other factors are equal.
Higher quality ceiling fans tend to be quieter, but even cheap models from reputable Australian brands like Mercator can run fairly quietly if you opt for a DC ceiling fan with a DC motor. These are more energy efficient and make less noise than traditional AC fans.
Even affordable ceiling fans can come with features like tri-colour LED lights that are dimmable and can switch between cool white, warm white, and brilliant lighting. Remote control operation and wall control units are also common. Some low profile flush mount modern designs hug the ceiling for low clearance areas.

Yes, most cheap ceiling fans have a manufacturer’s warranty of 2 or 3 years to protect against manufacturing defects. Some also have longer warranties on the DC motor itself.
Ceiling fans with a DC motor and lightweight aluminium or plywood blades can use less energy than heavier-bladed or AC ceiling fans.
You'll need to select a specific outdoor ceiling fan rated for exterior use, as it needs extra protection against the elements. These may have plastic ABS blades instead of wood and sealed moisture-resistant housings.
