It beeps when you turn it on.  Annoying in the middle of the night, but not a deal breaker.   But no matter what the last function was that you had on when you last used it, (ie fan only) it always just turns on the bright light the next time you flip the switch.  Super annoying in the middle of the night.  If you get a little hot in the middle of the night and want to turn on the fan so you walk over to the switch and flip it on, be prepared for a BRIGHT light which you have to quickly turn off by the remote and then click on the fan to your desired speed.  Yes, I could just leave it on 24-7 and solely use the remote, but I'm a flip switcher.  Would not buy again and would not recommend.
