Fanaway Evo 1 / 2 / 3

I bought two of these a few years ago and they have worked well. I had to replace the globe on 1 & when that didn't help, I was told I needed a new ballast. Fortunately, they were still available to purchase. The fans are absolutely impossible to clean. I live on my own and the one that gets the most use is full of dust. It would have been… Read more

extremely helpful if the staff at Beacon lighting had shared this information. You need two people, both standing on ladders, to get the blades out. This fan has been spraying a light oil around the room. I only noticed because there are spots on the mirrored wardrobe. I clean the mirrors & the next time I use the fan, the spots are back. Should I be worried? Does this mean the blade/s will fly off? The globe has gone again. I have tried to purchase a replacement. Beacon has them on sale for 50% off, however they are not available for click and collect only delivery. Disappointing Beacon.

Hi. I purchased 7 fanaway's to do all the rooms in my house. I have replaced 5 diffusers in the past. I have had one blade fly off across the room randomly. They did replace all the blades on that fan free of charge. I currently have one fuser which has gone a sickly yellow so I have had to remove it. Beacon Lighting have said that my diffuser is no longer available so I am considering my options how to replace the fan.

Great fans, these Fanaway fans – After over 10 years of service, I thought I would like to write a review on both fans. We purchased 2 EVO 2 Endure fans in 2014. The fans are excellent, and they have worked perfectly. Unfortunately, in 2020 water damage to the ceiling due to severe storm, one of the fans fell from the ceiling and was damaged beyond repair. This was replaced by… Read more

EVO 1 Prevail. The EVO 1 is very quiet, in fact I have often gone to bed and accidently left the fan running overnight. I highly recommend the fans.

LEDs don’t work anymore – Hi, we’ve had this fan for a few years now and it’s been faultless. However the LED lights won’t work anymore. I’ve replaced the remote and it seemed ok for a while but now nothing. A click when I press the light button on the remote but no lights turn on. Show details ·  1

Fan away Retractable Blades – Enjoyed having this fan installed more than 12 years ago….. just installed an Evo 2…. Quiet operation …. Simply love the satin finish .The connections are identical hence making the installation a walk in the park. Highly recommended Show details

Fanaway are useless fans! – I can’t believe how hard these fans are to clean! Now I’ve broken one and they say we need to buy 4 blades as they don’t sell just one!!! Also, everyone be aware that they suggest that you need two people to clean these fans standing on a ladder each!!! How ridiculous is it that they don’t have a lockout mechanism to keep the blades extended while Cleaning .

Bad – Hi I bought 3 fans of fanaway from becon light narreewarren all three led lights not working fans are 4 years old fan works but light stopped working one by one on gap of few months Show details

Horrible product – This stopped working in an year. It's in our pergola. Only switched to "show off" few minutes when friends come over. I can assure you that it's a cheap product sources from some Shanghai factory and sold to a hapless customer. I regret every day about this purchase. Reading other reviews comforted me, because I didn't end up in a hospital Show details

absolute junk – broke soon after receiving and customer service is completely unbelievably ignorant,useless and full of lies BEWARE dodgy af Show details

FAN? AWAY ‍‍-> – We sadly have 5 fans & ALL have been let down by dreadful light drivers! Cannot overstate the inferior quality of this key component. What else to do but alert you, CHOICE & Consumer watch dog…

Very concerned reading these reviews – I purchased 2 x EVO1 prevail fans a few years ago which ended not getting installed due to COVID etc. I am now ready to have them installed however very concerned in what I have just read in these reviews. Blades coming off, LED not working. Concerned I have had these fans for a few years, not installed that I am going to pay money for an… Read more

Electrician, plus the price of the fans, I am going to have Blades flying off which sounds very dangerous. It seems I now have no where to stand and hoping issues raised in all the reviews does not happen.

Dangerous product..Beware! – 2nd Fanaway fan,blade snapped and flew across the room landing on our dining room table..Unbelievably no one was hit! This the second Fanaway we've had..first one replaced with same problem,which keft a big gouge in our kitchen wall. So dangerous, how these haven't been recalled and discontinued is beyond me,Avoid at all costs! Show details

Out of five one snapped this week – One blade just snapped off and hit the wall before falling to the floor. Fortunately my wife who was in the room escaped unhurt. I got them installed in 2010 they were working okay until this happened. I am not sure if Beacon Lighting can replace it, of course at my cost, through their electrician. Show details

No replacement diffuser available – I purchased 6 of these light fans. The covers are very yellow so I travelled to the nearest Beacon store to see about buying replacement covers. I was told they needed a SKU number for the part. There is no SKU on these lights only a model number. Its very disappointing to be told that the florescent tube turns the cover yellow and it can't be… Read more

changed so after buying 6 of them they all need to go in the bin. I feel very ripped off and this should be a recall issue if new parts can't be offered and the lights are rendered useless because of the combination of the florescent tube and the plastic!!!!

Evo 2 endure globe – How do u change the light globe in the evo 2 endure

It has noise problems – I've only installed this fan a week ago, after being told it was very quiet. It has an occulting motor noise which is annoying, but worse, after a few hours of being on - and in the middle of the night - it develops a non-rhythmic intermittent tone like someone running their finger over the rim of a glass - enough to wake you up. I've rungLighting… Read more

Direct in New Zealand where I bought it, but they said I've got to get my electrician out (again - I'm assuming at my expense) to look at it before they will consider what to do about it. Disappointed.

Stay away from this light – The lights failed multiple times over the years but were covered by warranty. Since it’s out of warranty now, the retailer will no longer help fixing them. We have to pay to uninstall it and bin it. Surprised that the retailer is still selling them. Show details

Avoid the EVO range at all costs – Terrible. We have had nothing but problems with Fanaway EVO fans. The lights failed to function after one year. Beacon originally honoured their obligations and sent out a technician but we continue to have problems. The lights don't work when you want them to and then turn on randomly in the middle of the night. This is less than ideal when… Read more

you have sleeping babies in the house! Beacon sent out replacement parts and told us we had to install them ourselves. The replacement parts did not fix the problem and Beacon are now denying any responsibility for the product which is clearly defective. Stay away!

Fan turns off or lights turn on - multiple times during night – 0% satisfaction. We paid money to install tis fan And now we will have to pay to uninstall to bin it. Never going to buy from beacon lights again. K Show details

Dangerous product – This product is extremely dangerous. 2 years ago we had a Blade brake off and imbed itself into our bedroom wall. Beacon replaced the unit. A few weeks ago the same thing happened! This time the blade hit the wall and fell on my sleeping partners head leaving a massive cut. This is not good enough and the product should be recalled.  Show details

Blade snapped off while in operation – This fan was installed when we built the house in 2009 since then we have replaced the bulb numerous times then the transformer needed replacing and just 1 week ago while on fan speed was on 1 (the fastest) the blade flung off and took a chunk out of the corner of a wall 4 metres away! Why has this product not been recalled yet by beacon!! I would like action taken on this fan before it causes serious injury. Show details

Superb fan If a little noisy – The various fan speeds are excellent and very useful dependant on temperature and it barely wobbles, I did have reason to contact customer services which I must say was very difficult at first however once I made contact the service was second to none, thank you very much for your help. Show details

Looks great and I like it, but a few practicalities I don’t love – I bought two fanaway Evora’s last year. They look great and I do like them. What I don’t love is that they are quite noisy when you turn the fan off and the blades shut away with a BANG - this isn’t great in the middle of the night when people are sleeping. Also the lowest setting is still quite fast - probably because the blades use centrifugal force to open. It’s too strong when you just want some light airflow in the room. Show details

I will not buy another – I purchased two of these fans in 2017. Last year the light in my daughter's room started playing up - turning itself off and has now not worked at all for the last 2 months. The fan is fine - but it does not get used very much. My electrician says it's the transformer, but when he tried to get a replacement has been told that replacement parts are… Read more

no longer supplied for this product. He was offered another new fan at half price. They must be joking! Why would I purchase another of these?
