EVGTTI 20" Caged Ceiling Fan with Light vs Amico CF-42IN-3BL Ceiling Fan

The EVGTTI is the better pick for a covered porch, gazebo or pergola. Its IP44 rating and powder-coated finish are built for damp outdoor air, and the 20-inch enclosed cage keeps blades away from hands and hanging plants. The Amico is the better pick for a larger indoor room or a big covered patio: its 42-inch span moves far more air, and its 24-month warranty doubles the EVGTTI's coverage. Owners of small caged fans like the EVGTTI praise the look and the quiet DC motor but note the limited airflow; the Amico's larger span and 35dB rating draw similar praise for quiet operation.

• Choose the EVGTTI if you need a genuinely weather-rated fan for a porch, gazebo or pergola and want a compact caged look with dimmable light.
• Choose the Amico if you are cooling a larger indoor room or a big covered patio and want a wider sweep and a longer warranty.
