This is my first review. There are a lot of complaints about this fan so wanted to give my $0.02. Bought 72" fan for country house. It was a big splurge, but I like windmills and really like the fan. I put it up on an 18' ceiling with a 6' down rod. That was very difficult. It works great. I suspect that some of the negative reviews come from the fact that the fan has electronics in it that do not immediately respond to remote or wall mounted controls. I thought my unit did not work. Being the impatient type, I turned the breaker off and did a lot of trouble shooting before I accidentally just waited long enough. Then it started to turn. At first back and forth. Slow then fast. Then it settled in and just works. There is still a small delay when I push the button. It also says in the instructions that the fan will not reverse unless you hit the button while it is running. That is counterintuitive, but it is true. Reverse mode works well. Finally, my unit was shipped with a remote but advertised that it came with a wall mount control. I contacted the seller through Amazon and got the wall control within 2 days. That is pretty responsive service and it made me happy. There is an assembly video on U tube. With >100 screws to assemble, it is a bear. But by being patient and careful, following the instructions, and having some aptitude, it came out perfectly balanced, no wobble, and almost completely silent. I was impressed with the precision and engineering of the parts and how they fit together to make the whole. The air movement will not blow you away, but I don't like ceiling fans on that speed anyway. I can feel a breeze (slight) sitting under it with it still about 12 over my head. Very satisfied.
Summary:
Unless you like the looks and like windmills, it is not worth the price. There are other fans.
If you don't like putting things together or don't have someone to do it for you, do not buy.
If you need a stiff breeze that will turn the pages on your book while reading below it, not for you.
I think any 72 inch fan would be difficult to hang, so that is not a reason one way or the other.
None of the negatives are problems for me. I really like the fan.
