A little bit of mixed feelings about this product. In terms of the fan itself I believe you cant do a lot better. It runs very quietly and exudes quality. Where I have a problem is with the light shade which has little chips all the way around the bottom. Very poor quality control it seems. Also as others have pointed out on this website and others the remote makes a stupid chirping noise every time you touch it. This quickly becomes annoying. Im contemplating taking the whole thing apart finding a little speaker and cutting it out Im so irritated.
