I needed a fixture in my kitchen that would sort of function as a an exhaust fan for above my stove.  By reversing the blades direction & having it pull up & out the window the airborne cooking by-products helps keep my kitchen smelling better.  This would also be a great bedroom or family room fan- remote works great. There are different fan speeds- would also love for the light to be dimmable but it’s not.  Still very glad with this purchase.
