The unit itself is functional. The remote is a nice feature and works well. The strength of the 3 speed fan is excellent, moves a significant amount of air. Installation was simple, start to finish maybe 25 minutes. Down side: From a noise standpoint, this is not a standard ceiling fan. This makes noise even at the lowest fan speed. The light is bright however through the sides it generates a pattern on all the walls due to the decorative holes in the case.
