I bought 3 of these for my upstairs bedrooms, since the ceiling are low I needed flush mount without hanging lights, but still a lighted fan. It looks really nice, cools the bedrooms nicely, and is a quiet fan with a low profile from the ceiling of just under 12 inches. I did not have the remote control installed, because that is what the complaints that I read were about, that the remote doesn't work for long. I had the fan installed to the switch on the wall, and it works well, is comfortable, and I love the look of it.
