I bought two of them for our living room. Other than an easy installation, the benefit is th smooth quiet operation. That doesn't seem like a big deal, but believe me it is. When the room is quiet you can hear the smallest sound. The fan is noiseless and perfectly balanced. A wonderfully smooth circulation of air. The remote works as does the included LED light bulb. In my mind this is a great value for the price. Five star rating from me.
