This fan is incredibly quiet; the only thing you hear is the air moving--the fan doesn't make any noise. Also, this fan really moves the air. I can tolerate a much warmer house temperature now that I have this fan because it makes the air feel so much cooler. Also, it is great for low ceilings and small rooms because it is flush to the ceiling and the blades are compact. It is very clean looking, modern, and even more beautiful in person than in the picture on the internet. Everyone who comes over to my house comments on how much they like my fans. I highly recommend this fan.
