We replaced an existing ceiling fan with this one in white.  This is being used in a small bedroom (may be 12'x12') which worked out great. Built-in LED lighting is bright enough for the room. It also came with remote and a metal cap that goes in place of the LED light kit, if you don't want the light. Overall, it's pretty quiet, although you'd hear the humming of the motor on low speed more prominently over its higher fan setting. Fan speed is preset at low, med and high.  I wish it had a feature to select any fan speed, like through a 'slide' type switch as my previous fan.  Other than that, i think this is a great ceiling fan that maximizes your ceiling height!
