Were remodeling our back porch and I fell in love with the simplicity of design. The only thing that will collect dust are the blades - Im all for less work later. These put off a lot of air, having 6 speed settings, and they are really quiet. The only thing I dont like is that if theyre on and you turn off the power at the wall switch, when turned back on they dont start up at the last setting so you always have to turn them on using the remote. Beautiful, quiet, and move a lot of air - so theyre great!
