WAC Lighting Mocha XL Matte Black
Score: 92/100Rankings
The WAC Lighting Mocha XL is a high-performance 66-inch outdoor fan designed for large spaces, offering exceptional airflow and smart features. Its primary limitation is the dependency on app control for advanced features and the need for potential downrod extensions. It is ideal for tech-savvy households needing powerful ventilation in great rooms or covered porches.
The Casablanca Panama is a 54-inch indoor ceiling fan designed for large rooms with a tropical or coastal aesthetic, featuring a powerful DC motor. Its main trade-off is the lack of integrated lighting and heavier weight. It is ideal for summer downdraft cooling and winter updraft circulation with low-ceiling installs via flush mount.
