Yes, BLDC fans are good in an airconditioned environment but cannot compete with normal fan in airflow probably due to the DC motor. Also BLDC fans have a RPM of 400 while the normal ones have a RPM of 700 (correct me if I am wrong). I think the new model Atomberg fans can be used with normal regulator.
Is there even a need for that unless it is some large space office type setup?
saw it ystd on display in a shop the design is too good
atomberg has always made 2 models one you can use with regulator one without that choose what suits, they have brought new motor and design in 2025 series.
I don't agree. Airflow has to do with the blade design.
My case is reverse. My BLDC fan doesn't need to be pushed above 2nd speed. I also have 2 normal nonBLDC fans in 600 mm size who revolve at 850 RPM, and they push literally 0 air. The rest of the older nonBLDC fans are just fine. I don't think they push more air than the BLDC one.
I'm not aware of the temperature in your region or the local electricity costs. However, if you use fans throughout the year, BLDC fans will pay for themselves within a year. This is a fact that cannot be disputed.
In a typical house without AC, electric geysers, or air coolers, the most electricity consuming appliances are the non-BLDC fans.
I'll be buying a few more fans in a month or so. I won't be buying Atomberg this time as I want precise control on the fan speeds, which Atomberg doesn't provide. Atomberg's first speed itself is too high for comfort.

In my experience, in large space office type setup, where one "room"/ "hall" is significantly over a thousand sq feet, with multiple AC vents, fan is not really required.
In home type setups, where one room is 120-250 sq feet, ACs easily create cold spots and warm spots in a room, and a slow fan helps smooth that out. That is with ACs meant for home use, non-industrial ones, of course.

Recently got my study redone and replaced the older gen creaky ceiling fan with the newer and smaller 900mm Atomberg BLDC fan that works extremely well alongside a 1TR split AC in this Delhi heat.
FWIW, the smaller BLDC fan is way more effective at lower speed levels of 1 or 2 compared to the older and larger sized model it replaced. Extremely happy with the purchase decision!

My approach is to avoid replacing my probably-20year-old ceiling fans and instead get pedestal fans wherever needed. I bought a regular amazon basics and an orient unit for around 2-2.5k range but thought to get this atomberg one this time: https://atomberg.com/atomberg-pedes...saving-pedestal-fan-400mm-with-remote-control
Benefits of pedestal vs. ceiling IMO is the ceiling units anyways have very limited throw/reach of the airflow, you need to be almost directly under them to get effective results. With pedestal you can point them directly towards wherever you are located in the room to get better results and things like reduced AC usage too.
edit: I had even got a Xiaomi pedestal fan more than a year ago (box still unopened!) dont remember if it's a BLDC but it has 100-step speed setting so I guess so.

What's the difference between different models of atomberg's renesa series, there's a smart series which is iot one, then there's just renesa with 1200mm and 1400mm blades but renesa + also exists, now there's also renesa enzel and other confusing models aswell
I was also considering getting polycab silencio mini but was shocked to see a total rating of 45k on atomberg with an average of 4 whereas polycab one only has few hundred ratings with 3.9 average, anyone here who have this particular model, your experience will help me in the buying decision as the amazon and youtube reviews are sponsored sometimes

Thanks. I am now shortlisting on the basis of warranty and airflow. Whichever has the highest number of them I'll go for it.
Btw some fans show as to work with both a normal regulator and remote. Now i wonder whether that normal regulator must be a step one or dimmers should also work. I'll ask on Amazon.

I have this/similar. Works well for work because i cant turn on ceiling fan during day (for unrelated reason).
But its not that great for sleeping. Ceiling fan gets better coverage, pedestal is more focused.
I have described the same problem before. But not all ceiling fans are like this. Some of them are just badly designed.
A benefit of using a pedestal fan is that for those living on the top floor, ceiling fans can raise the room temperature, which pedestal fans don't.
I have been using 2 BLDC fans in my living room from the Crompton Energion series. Airflow is not a problem at all. There is a regulator version that is sold offline but costs extra. As of now, I have been using only 1 remote for both the fans (kept other one as spare) since I don't need to vary the speed between them and can switch one of the two off directly using the switch.
Unfortunately, I had issue with noise on one of the fans that had more to do with the internal alignment of the components rather than the bearing. The service centre was prompt though and although I had to put 3-4 complaints, each one was addressed on the same or next day and all they did was reinstall the fan each time while aligning the components again.
Have to see how it goes in terms of reliability, but having a 5-year warranty provides peace of mind.

Yeah 5 year warranty was before. Now they have reduced it to 3

In my case - There is a cone shaped thing above the fan which sometimes can fall down and starting touch the running fan. That lead to noise.
Has happened twice, but not since quite some time. Simple fix was to just raise it again.
That happened the first time which I did so myself. However, this particular fan had a knocking sound. The technician actually hammered and broke the internal casing first time around saying the sound is due to friction with the PCB which wasn't the case. The next time, the technician said it is an alignment issue and reinstalled the fan but that too wasn't enough. The third time, another technician took even the internal parts apart and set it up again which seems to be working for the time being.
Yes, but this seems to be a no kids household story. Kids can do dangerous things to / with pedestal fans.
