I love the look of this fan, it’s beautiful. The first one I received had an extremely loud motor, the electrician said the bearings were defective, so I contacted Wayfair and they quickly sent me a replacement. Best customer service ever!! The fan is not quiet, gives off more sound than it does wind, even on high it’s like the low setting of the fan it replaced. You have to be right under it to feel a breeze on its own, but works well to circulate the AC / heat when used together.
 My biggest issue is not being able to hardwire a light switch to it, the motor only operates by the remote control. 
I attached the remote holder to the wall to avoid it getting lost, but it needs to be removed often and pointed directly at the motor to work. If ever broken or misplaced you wouldn’t be able to operate the fan.
