How to choose
Size and mounting
All three fans measure 20 inches, so size will not separate them. Mounting will: the DINGLILIGHTING and Ensenior mount flush for low ceilings, while the LEDIARY mounts flush with a caged enclosed design. The DINGLILIGHTING arrives pre-assembled, and the Ensenior installs in under 20 minutes. Match the mount and the install time to your ceiling before you buy.
Speeds, motors, and airflow
Speeds and motors differ: the DINGLILIGHTING and Ensenior run 6 speeds on DC motors with reversible airflow, while the LEDIARY runs on a remote with summer and winter reversible mode. Airflow differs too: the Ensenior lists 2,200 CFM. Compare speeds, motor type and airflow against the room you cool before you buy.
Lights and controls
Lights differ: the DINGLILIGHTING dims from 10% to 100% across 3000K, 4000K and 6000K, and the Ensenior dims from 8% to 100% across 3000K, 4500K and 6500K with a night light mode. Controls differ too: the DINGLILIGHTING and Ensenior pair a remote with app control, while the LEDIARY pairs a remote with timing and a mute for beeps. Match light range and control style to the room before you buy.
