I've had this fan for about six months and I cannot recommend it. Although it looks beautiful and is quiet, the controls for the fan are horrible! It comes with a proprietary Hunter wall switch that is actually a wireless remote and is not hard wired to the fan. The signal is terrible and the fan is often non-responsive. You have to press the switch 3 or 4 times for the fan to respond. You can't replace the hunter remote with a better switch or a smart switch because of the DC motor. Although it looks nice, it is too expensive to work so poorly and I wish I had never bought the thing. Buyer beware!
