This was installed this morning and appeared to be an easy install. The blades are extremely light weight and I did not need to use any of the included balancers. I really should have gotten the fan with the light instead of the fan only. This can not be modified to add a light kit so I will be using the lamps in the living room instead. The fan is EXTREMELY quiet even on the higher speeds (this offers 6 speeds) I do have this connected to a wall switch so if the switch is off, obviously the fan will not work. I had the fan working on speed 6, hit the wall switch to shut it off, and then turned the switch back on. The fan will start again in the last speed it was on last. I am pointing this out because while this is not an "Alexa" fan, I will be reinstalling the old wifi switch with this for the on/off capabilities. I'm in the south and when I want the fan on, it is because it is hot. So for me, that works. My living room is the largest room in the house and it really deserved an equally large fan that is energy efficient. On high, the breeze can be felt about 12-15 ft away in all directions. The remote is necessary to change the fan speeds, the direction of the spin, and also the timer this offers.I wasn't sure if the style of this fan would match my home as this appears to be more modern/farmhouse/industrial style where my home is traditional. It really matches beautiful so I have no regrets with this fan. The lamps in the room provide a warm and inviting light and the fan fits in perfectly with a cooling and quiet breeze.Love everything about this fan. It throws air wonderfully and is dead silent. Looks amazing in our cape.we had trouble getting the blades on because the whole motor until had shifted on the center shaft, so we had to loosen it all up and slide it to get the space back for the fan blades to go on. Was not an immediately intuitive problem (its expected that part of the fan is preassembled properly) so if you run into the same thing hopefully you've seen this review!Seriously love the fan. Probably the best item we got for what looks to be a crazy hot summer.Very well made, super sturdy and a very solid piece. Not hard to install, I was replacing an old one, with one that will match our rustic style, yet with modern features and knew this would be a good fit. It comes with a remote that controls everything. Turns it on and off, fan speed, timer and more. Very quite too, good price for the quality, highly recommend.Sleek design, super quiet, I love everything about this fan but the price. The color temperature changing light can be as bright or as low as you want it to be. The random fan control is interesting and kind of fun to play with. You can go as low or as high as you want, or put it on natural for a light, ever changing breeze. The price keeps going up though, so I'm glad I got it early. Not sure I'd go for it now.This is a top quality fan and components. The design is top notch and the components are excellent! It shows in installation ease and the quiet smooth run of the fan.It can throw as much air as you want or as little as a light breeze... I love the remote and dimmable light! This is quality you won't soon have to replace!
