This is an excellent fan. It runs so smooth and quiet you hardly realize it is running. I bought it as a replacement for this same fan which we have had in our home for eleven years. Unfortunately we had a bad storm with lightning that damaged a number of things in our home including this fan. I immediately went to the internet to see if I could replace it with the same fan. We have a second one in our bedroom and just love to run it all night. I highly recommend this fan.

This fan is way too heavy and cumbersome for a person to install. It takes about three people because of the weight. Also, it is advisable that extra support needs to be placed in the ceiling to hold such a heavy fan. Until we get that done, we will not use it because of the possible danger of the screws not holding it. If it falls, it will do a lot of damage to the furniture, floor, or a person.
