A garage or workshop needs a fan that moves plenty of air without making a racket. The Silent Storm Extra Large Ceiling Fan from Parrot Uncle sets out to do exactly that.
It costs $289 and holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 96 reviews. Few other products from the brand have drawn that many.
We read through the spec sheet and a large batch of reviews to see whether the fan lives up to its name.
Buyers Keep Saying One Word: Quiet
A 4.9 average from 96 reviews is a strong score at that volume. The theme is consistent too, because buyers keep reaching for the word “quiet.”
Izzy L. said the 84-inch model gives a lovely breeze and is whisper quiet.
Dan W. said putting it together and hanging it was very easy, and added that the fan moves lots of air without being loud.
Michael compared the airflow to a gentle breeze instead of a strong wind. That fits the CFM figures for the smaller sizes.
These comments matter because DC motors are supposed to run more quietly than older AC fan motors. The reviews suggest this fan delivers on that promise instead of just listing it as a spec.
Motor, Speeds and Airflow
The fan uses a DC motor, and the wattage and airflow depend on the blade span. These are the figures Parrot Uncle lists for each size:
| Blade span | Motor power | Airflow |
| 84-inch | 40W | 11,200 CFM |
| 100-inch | 50W | 11,500 CFM |
| 120-inch | 55W | 24,000 CFM |
There are six speed settings. Top speed falls as the blades get longer, from 95 RPM on the 84-inch model to 58 RPM on the 120-inch.
That is normal for HVLS-style fans. Larger blades move more air with each turn, so they do not need to spin as fast.
The seven aluminum blades are reversible and set at an 11-degree pitch. The fan comes with two downrods, an 8-inch and a 12-inch, so you can adjust the drop height during installation.
Sizes, Finishes and the Right Room
There are three sizes (84, 100 and 120 inches) and three finishes (black, silver and white). Every combination costs $289.
In the product photos, the fan hangs in garages, workshops and wide-open commercial spaces. The CFM numbers back that up.
The fan targets large rooms and high ceilings, so a standard 10-by-12 bedroom is not the right fit.
Installation Limits to Know About
The fan is approved for indoor rooms and covered patios, but not for fully wet locations. This model has no integrated lighting.
Parrot Uncle lists a maximum ceiling pitch of 15 degrees for downrod installs. The DC motor also does not work with standard wall dimmer switches, so the included remote becomes the main control.
How It Stacks Up
Within Parrot Uncle’s own range, the Silent Storm offers the most airflow at this price. The smaller DC Balachandran ($158.90) is cheaper, yet it moves much less air.
Other brands’ premium industrial fans add smart-home features. The Silent Storm costs roughly half as much.
In exchange for that lower price, you give up convenience extras and brand reputation.
Our Verdict
This fan suits anyone who wants strong airflow in a garage, a workshop or a very large room. It should also stay quiet through a full day of running.
For that job, it is the easiest pick in the Parrot Uncle lineup.
Base your size on ceiling height and room dimensions, not budget, because all three sizes cost the same.
