I have a small office that needed some air circulating, but I also work in this office all day and can't have noise from a fan be an issue. In addition, my office has only 8-foot ceilings, so a flush-mount fan that is relatively low-profile was a must. Suffice it to say that finding one that fit all of the requirements and actually looked good was a task unto itself.
This fan is exactly what I was hoping for, with 1 minor caveat. I love the in-wall remote performs exceptionally well and looks nice! Don't be confused by the description as I was - this does NOT come with a hand-held remote - if you want one, you have to buy it separately. The fan itself projects downward perhaps 18 inches total, so it is relatively close to the ceiling. It also is incredibly quiet while on the 1 and 2 speeds (in both rotational directions). Speed 3 really kicks out some insane air, but that speed does make a small amount of sound - not an off-balanced thunking kind of a noise, but a whooshing due to how much air it moves. The blades are sculpted in a way that makes them concave, so they further help to move the air around. All things considered, this is a great ceiling fan! I am very impressed.
The only thing that I was not jumping with joy on is that the blades are plastic. For what this costs, I really expected wood. They don't look cheap or anything though, so it is a minor thing. Just don't be shocked when you open the box and that's what you find.
Also, this fan's remote 'remote' must be wired into the wall, so if you aren't comfortable with doing some electrical work, you will want to have a professional install this. It is not as simple as just putting a fan in place of where a light used to be - the switch will need to be utterly swapped out with what Minka provides for the device's controls, so this is probably one of the more complicated ceiling fan installations. It is well worth it, but perhaps worth note for anyone who's a DIYer but not comfortable with more invasive electrical work.
