Ive only had the fan installed for 1 day but I love it so far! The motor is quiet.  There was no need to balance the blades after installing.  Two things to note go by the diagram picture of the wiring in the instructions rather than the written words.  There were two white wires but both with white labels rather than one with red so I needed the pic instead. Also, the motor doesnt seem to function until the light kit is attached. I tried to check the motor before the light kit was on and thought the fan was broken. Oops.
