   I love that it comes with a remote control. It’s easy to use and quiet. The black was more dark bronze than black.

   The media could not be loaded.

    See video. All the sound in the video is NOT from the fan. It’s my feet scuffing on the floor. The issues with the install are 1) Bracket requires a spacing of at least 3.25″. My old junction box had a spacing of 3″. Had to replace that. 2) Wiring. There are 5 wires at least 2 feet long. Could have been a foot long and there’d be lots of room to play. Also, the wire nuts are too small for large gauge home wiring. Had to use different ones. 3) Balancing process took 30 minutes. I’ve installed at least six ceiling fans in my life. This is by far the worst one for installation I’ve ever done. I’ve never had to balance a ceiling fan! The good? A beautiful and interesting fan!

   This is the best invention ever if you hate the look of ceiling fans like me but don’t want to give up the option of a fan. It was pretty easy to install, and actually worked with the ceiling mount from our previous fan, which saved us some time. It was fairly difficult to wedge the remote relay box up into the ceiling mount and get the cover over it. There is a slight delay if you use the wall switch to turn the light on and off, I believe due to the remote relay, but it is only about 1 second and you get used to it. Or you can always use the remote.

   I am very disappointed with this fan. I expected a better quality product for the higher price paid. One of the main problems is that you are forced to use the remote to turn the light on/off. If you turn the light on with the remote, after turning the switch on, you can turn the light off, but after a short time the switch no longer turns the light on. You have to turn off the light using the remote and then back on, even though the remote indicates the light is already on. This is horrible. Should have the ability to use the wall switch for the light and never have to touch the remote. I can probably figure out how to bypass the remote for the light, but not sure, since all the wiring goes into the remote receiver box in the fan assembly. Also, when you do switch on the light, when it works, there is about a 2 second delay for the light to come on. It is not the LED bulb as I first suspected, but with the remote control. I put the bulbs in a standard socket and it comes on instantly. As a note, the bulbs put off a nice warm yellow color, but not much light. That could be rectified with different bulbs if you wanted. Cosmetically, the glass around the lights is held in place with a rubber strip, that in my case was twisted and partially out when it arrived. I tried to put it back in place, but was too much of a mess to get back in completely. The light is attached to the bottom of the fan assembly, and did not mount on straight. There was a large gap on one side and none on the other. I had to forcibly bend the delicate, glass laden bracket to even out the gap, and still was not able to get it completely even. Fan seems to work quite well, which retracts nicely when not in use. That is about its only redeeming quality.

   My daughter and I call this the SEXY ceiling fan. I bought the chrome, and, as the style of my house is on the mcm/contemporary side, it looks right at home. It was a bit difficult for my handyman to install and took longer than the other ceiling fans we bought that don’t have retractible blades, but it was worth it. So,1) looks great. 2) very quiet, which is good as it is in the dining nook, 3) has great lighting; the yellow bulbs that come with it have a nice warm tone, and 4) works with the remote or the light switch, so at night I just flip the light switch and it all goes off.My only issue (which may not be an issue at all if my research pays off) is that with the blades retracted when its off, how do I clean them? Been up for 3 months and I can’t figure out how to get the dust and grime off. Once I figure that out, I’ll be set.Again, love, love, love this fan!

   It’s a nice fan, just seems a bit overpriced for what it is. Don’t get me wrong, I like it. But maybe if it was 50-75 bucks less, it’d get a 5 star from me. That said, the instructions are awful. I’ve installed fans before and know the sequence, but looked at them because this one is different. It basically tells you to fully Install it, then wire it. Then put the receiver up there. How? No, follow the typical fan Install steps and ignore the directions, you’ll be gold.

   Wife ordered this and I was like – really the $600 dollar one? Easy to install and took about 10 minutes. Much easier than installing those old blades. We were amazed at the change it brought to the room.This is super quiet, well balanced – so no rocking (magnets come with it if you need to further balance – we didn’t need too). This is better than what we previously had and the amount of air movement is unbelievable.Hold down the light button to dim/brighten.

   Coolest fan ever, puts out same amount of air as my traditional fan, and even nicer in person than I thought when buying.There is a review on here that says the radio receiver for the remote won’t install properly and she had to work around it. I hired an electrician to install my fan, and the radio receiver fits exactly as designed, in the same place where my old fan was, and the remote works perfectly. Not sure why that buyer had an issue.
