This is an exceptionally efficient ceiling fan.  It moves a lot of air yet is very comfortable in the room when the fan is running.  Very quiet, a bit of a hum when changing speeds but virtually none when the fan is up to speed.  This fan replaces an old 52 inch fan that was too ornate.  So far, no one coming in has even noticed that this fan is there as it is so quiet and blends into the white ceiling.  The fan is quietly beautiful in shape and is perfect for my purposes.In addition, the light kit was defective and blew the bulb.  Happy Day[...]
