The fan is super quiet and the install was ok. I think the directions could be improved -- you have to somewhat interpret various steps of them, whereas I think a lot of the confusion could be cleared up with better diagrams. The biggest issue so far, though, is what another buyer echoed in that the light just turns on randomly. So far, this has happened twice at night which, thankfully, we caught before we went to bed. But it would be a bummer if it turns on in the middle of the night because the light is pretty bright. Other than that, it's pretty nice so far. Others have said that there is a light dimmer on the remote, but I haven't been able to figure that part out yet.
