Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of ceiling fans has the best warranty?

On paper, Craftmade scores highest, with 1 year of full coverage and longer coverage on some parts.

Is a long warranty on ceiling fans really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

1 of 18 brands require registration for some of their coverage, often within a set number of days. Keep your receipt either way.
