I still consider Krisbow's 2020 release of 48" & 56" ivory color ceiling fans as one of the best ceiling fans you can get the 2020's. Well, that fan has been discontinued for about 2 years now, and today Krisbow has brought us a replacement for it; a pure white SMC made ceiling fan with an SMC 'KS' style motor!
No longer does this fan have the bulbous plastic motor cover that the 2020 version had, in place of it is a much more pleasant bare bones spinner motor. One downside I can see is a lack of ventilation, as the 2020 ivory motor has tons of cooling vents within the plastic covers. Even so, this fan doesn't heat up that much when you set it on high, and keep in mind that airflow from this fan is still a LOT stronger than Panasonic’s slouchy F-EY1511! I still put this fan up with National's F-EY149 in terms of performance, but instead of a direct jet of air like the National makes, this fan's curved bladeset spreads the airflow & doesn't blast you with air that much when you're underneath it.
One mindset I have about ceiling fans is that fans which utilize Matsushita style skeletal motor last longer than fans that have this enclosed motor shell, simply because skeletal motors get more ventilation, thus making it easier for the motor to cool down & the bearings won't heat up as much as if they're inside an enclosure with the hot stator. That mindset is also supported by the fact that since my childhood, I've seen CMC fans dying left & right, while the Matsushita ceiling fans around me seem to last almost forever. I'm not sure whether that also applies to SMC fans, as I've seen an equal number of dead & working SMC fans, both in or out of Indonesia. The reliability of this fan remains to be seen, but I place my hopes for these fans to last a long while!
