Product review (5 stars): Great Fan
This fan arrived very quickly.  We didn't find the instructions to be too difficult.  Actually, because of the reviews, I contacted Akdy for installation instructions before ordering.  I thought they were fairly detailed, so went ahead and ordered the fan.  The instructions that came with the fan were the same as what Akdy provided.
My husband and I installed this ourselves.  We cut down the chimney covers to fit our 8' ceilings with no problems.  The hardest part of install were the tiny screws that connect the support frame to the mounting bracket on the ceiling.  They have to be connected with nuts on the inside, and they're so tiny!  We got them all up, and somehow tightened though.
We bought this fan because of it's powerful 870 CFM motor as we wanted to mount it a bit higher than recommended.  We are so tired of hitting our head on a fan, also the remote is really nice!  Works wonderfully.  The light is very bright, the bulbs do come out, so we could replace them later on with LED (they are halogen).
The fan is very powerful.  It seems to work well.  On high it is a bit loud, but quieter than our old 1960s fan! When using a fan, it's not typically on high for too long, I'm not terribly concerned with the decibel level.
