This is a very attractive, quiet, and energy efficient fan. Unfortunately there a few cons that come along with this fan. Every button press is accompanied with a loud beep. This might not be a big deal for some people but gave my dog severe anxiety, who otherwise is not noise sensitive. There is a fix for this that can found on YouTube but surely voids the warranty. The wall control is hardwired but requires batteries that are behind the switch, necessitating power be turned off and the switch removed when the batteries die. The blade direction is reversible by holding the fan button for 3 seconds, but this is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. Finally, there was someone's writing on one of the fan blades, fortunately not on the side that showed, and some scuffs on the finish.
