We recently replaced our 20+ year old bedroom ceiling fan with this model and couldn't be happier with it. My daughter's boyfriend is rather handy and was able to install the unit in about 30 minutes with no issues. It has a low-profile look compared to the large-globed, low-hanging model we previously had. The blades have a stylish wood look and are small but very powerful. And the matte black frame is very contemporary. The best part is the remote control. We can read before bed and no longer have to fight about who is going to get up to turn the light off when we're ready to go to sleep. We're very pleased with the look and performance of this unit.
