I got this fan for our bedroom; my wife likes staying up reading and watching TV. She likes the room cold, with this fan she can keep the room comfortable without lowering the thermostat. It has three levels of fan speed plus the turbo boost function great. The energy reduction of air flow is great for saving energy. The remote control has all the functions of the fan, you do not have to get up to change any settings however, this one does not come with a battery. It took me twenty minutes to put together. I highly recommend this fan.
