I wasn't as happy with this fan once we got it installed.  We had an electrician install the fan; so, I can't comment on the ease of installation.  Although it didn't take him long and seemed simple.  The fan doesn't give off a ton of air so I would say use this fan in a smaller room.  But what I really don't like is the light.  Whether you use the remote or a switch on the wall, you have to toggle through all 3 light choices to get to the one you want...every time you turn the light on.  There's a real bright white like you are in a warehouse, a soft white for a bedroom or family room, then another light I can't even remember.  So we obviously want the soft white.  Well I have to turn on and off three times to get to that light, every time I turn the light on.  It's a no-go.  Going to replace.  If they fixed that, it would be a good fan.
