We bought this fan for my home office which seconds as our guest room. We were replacing the builder grade fan that came with the house that had broken. I love the look of the fan with the frosted glass and the option to have light wood grain blades or white blades. My husband and I installed it together in an hour or so. Neither of us are electricians but it was super easy to install. The fan we were replacing had the light and fan tied to one wall switch. When installing this fan, we decided to separate the light and fan to two different wall switches. That was also easy to do and is now much more convenient. We didn’t purchase the fan with a remote so I can’t say anything about how well that works. Over all the fan is quiet. It didn’t make any annoying noises when it’s on. When it’s on the low or medium settings, it doesn’t make any wind noise. But on high it is a little loud due to the amount of air it moves. The only negative I could possibly say about this fan is that the difference in the amount of air moved between the three fan speeds. There isn’t much difference between low and medium. But there’s a big difference between medium and high! High is great when it’s hot but it’s also a bit loud because of how fast the blades move and the amount of air it pushes. I tend to leave the fan on the medium speed because low is too low during the warmer months. Although low is great for a light breeze during the cooler months and when sleeping. Outside of my personal preferences regarding the fan speeds, I would recommend this fan. It’s a great fan for a great price. It looks great and works really well.
