I was tired of the existing fans in our house.  They almost hit my head (I'm over 6'), and the wobbly + noise was not worth it.  I was blown away by what an improvement this fan was.  It's very slim and sticks to close to the ceiling -- hey my head is ok.  The light is good, enough for a medium bedroom, and the operation is nearly silent.  The remote is a cinch to use, and I will soon be replacing all fans in our house with this model.  The price was too good to be true.  So happy with this purchase!
