Bought to replace a larger ceiling fan without remote in a 10x12 bedroom with 8 foot ceilings. The fan is contemporary and blends nicely into the white ceiling. On high the fan does a nice job of moving air. However, at the sides of the room I do not feel much airflow. Since this is over a bed the fan is perfect. If your room is larger you might want to choose a model with longer fan blades.
The remote is nicely designed and includes a holder that fits over the current wall switch plate and still allows access to the existing wall switch. Dimmer function on light cycles between bright to dim, I would rather have a toggle (Lo -High) switch. There are three separate speed buttons 1 - 2 - 3 and 0 for Off
Installation was about an hour. You need to have an existing ceiling box specified for a ceiling fan. The fan does not include the bolts to attach the fan mounting plate to the ceiling box (these are usually supplied with a ceiling fan mounting electrical box).
The directions are complete but confusing. They include numbered steps with clear diagrams. However within each numbered steps are sub steps with text in rectangles which are not lettered such as 1A 1B 1C. Thus it is easy to miss a sub step that you must follow from left to right within the numbered section.
If you have solid electrical power wires, such as Romex, you will want to strip additional insulation off of the fan wires which are copper stranded, before connecting or placing on the ceiling mount. Be careful one on the wires is an antenna for the remote. Installation requires that you also have to connect the remote receiver into the cap. Study the wiring instructions in advance. You hook the fan onto the ceiling plate to connect wires then raise fan to ceiling plate and attach screws.
Each fan blade is attached with 3 separate screws. This was not easy. The fan blade has to be held against the attachment area within the fan base, that is black and angled. In order to line up the screws I had a friend shine a flashlight into the base of the fan so the light reflected through the screw holes from above. This made lining up the holes easier but the screws are flat head machine screws so you have to line everything up correctly.
The fan is quiet on high and no fan blade noise. However, there is a faint motor hum. The motor is very quiet but I did notice the sound but very faint. I have another ceiling fan with a DC motor and it's silent.
Overall, very happy with the fan. Hunter emblem is attached to side of fan housing. Did not see a way to remove it, but you can install fan ceiling mount base plate so emblem faces the direction you wish.
