Out of every fan in Parrot Uncle’s catalog, one has more reviews than almost anything else the brand sells: the Silent Storm Extra Large Ceiling Fan, at $289 with a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 96 reviews. I went through the full spec sheet and a stack of those reviews to see if it earns the name.
What it’s built with
The Silent Storm runs on a DC motor rated at 40W (84-inch), 50W (100-inch), or 55W (120-inch), with six speed settings and a max RPM that drops as the blade span grows, from 95 RPM on the 84-inch down to 58 RPM on the 120-inch. That’s normal for HVLS-style fans: bigger blades move more air per rotation, so they don’t need to spin as fast.
Airflow scales with size too. Parrot Uncle lists 11,200 CFM for the 84-inch, 11,500 CFM for the 100-inch, and 24,000 CFM for the 120-inch. The seven aluminum blades are reversible, set at an 11-degree pitch, and the fan ships with two downrods (8-inch and 12-inch) so you can adjust drop height at install.
What buyers are actually saying
A 4.9 average across 96 reviews is a strong number at that volume, and the theme running through the reviews is consistent: buyers keep using the word “quiet.” One reviewer, Izzy L., wrote that the 84-inch model “produces the nicest breeze and it’s whisper quiet.” Another, Dan W., called it “very easy to assemble and install” and said it moves a lot of air without being loud. A third reviewer, Michael, described the airflow as “not a heavy wind, but more like a breeze,” which tracks with the CFM numbers on the smaller sizes.
That matters because DC motors are supposed to run quieter than older AC fan motors, and the reviews suggest this one actually delivers on that rather than just listing it as a spec.
Sizing, colors and where it fits
The fan comes in three sizes (84, 100, 120 inches) and three finishes (black, silver, white), all priced identically at $289. Product photos show it installed in garages, workshops, and open commercial spaces, which lines up with the CFM numbers: this is built for a large or high-ceiling room, not a standard 10-by-12 bedroom.
It’s rated for indoor use and covered patios only, not fully wet locations, and there’s no integrated lighting on this model. Parrot Uncle notes a maximum 15-degree ceiling pitch for downrod installs, and the DC motor isn’t compatible with standard wall dimmer switches, so plan on using the included remote as the primary control.
How it compares
Inside Parrot Uncle’s own catalog, the Silent Storm is the largest-airflow option at this price point; smaller DC fans like the Balachandran ($158.90) cost less but move far less air. Against premium industrial fans from brands with smart-home features, you’re trading convenience extras and brand reputation for roughly half the price, a trade-off I break down further in my full Parrot Uncle brand review.
Should you buy it
If you need serious airflow for a garage, workshop, or oversized room and want a fan that’s quiet enough to run all day, this is the easiest pick in Parrot Uncle’s lineup. Pick your size based on ceiling height and room size rather than budget, since all three sizes cost the same.
