Craftmade Canto 52 inch Ceiling Fan (CTO52) review

The Craftmade Canto 52 inch has the longest warranty on this list, a 30 Year Limited Warranty, and it mounts on flat or angled ceilings up to 23 degrees without an adapter. Craftmade lists a 6-speed reversible DC motor rated at 4,898.5 CFM on high, a damp location rating, ABS blades and a 6 inch downrod. The included 20 watt LED light kit is dimmable from the remote, covers 3000K to 5000K and can be left off, and a lens cover is included. The fan hangs 9.56 inches from ceiling to blades. The drawbacks: Craftmade's product page shows an empty MSRP field and directs buyers to dealers, so we could not verify a price and scored value conservatively, and its airflow is lower than the Minka-Aire Simple at the same blade span. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run airflow tests.
