We have 2 of these installed, and 2 awaiting installation. We've had one for over 2 years, and it is very quiet (makes a little "reassuring" click when reversing fan direction for the change in seasons). We like the LED light that has dimming capability. We have both the white and the pewter/wood grain blades. The electrician reported (without me asking!) that it "went in really easy." For the smaller rooms (bedrooms), we chose white, and it serves the intended purpose of cooling (or pushing warmer air down in the cooler months), but "goes away" with the white ceiling. In the larger rooms, the pewter/wood grain is a nice feature. There are no annoying fan chains hanging down or clicking. We're really very pleased with these. The other two are going up this week. Perfect solution in a mid-century house that doesn't have great airflow.
