I purchased one of these fairly expensive ceiling fans for our large family room. I've had it for a few months now.Pros:1. Looks sleek, especially with the tapered blades2. Has 6 speeds for the fans, more than most other fans3. Fan is very quite - at higher speeds you get wind noise, but no audible motor noise4. Remembers the last setting even after power outage5. Moves lots of air at high settings6. Energy efficientCons:1. The fan buzzes loudly all the time whenever light is turned on - As long as the light setting is "on" (regardless of whether bulbs are installed or not) the unit buzzes loudly2. Lighting is mediocre - Does not provide good ambient lighting - there is glare directly underneath the fan, but other areas of the room stay somewhat dark - Uses uncommon GU-24 socket CFL's3. No flush-mount option for standard height ceilings - instead they have a problematic "short" downrod option4. Doesn't come with wall-mount option for the remote control5. Difficult to install - No wire to hang fan to anchor during installation, so you have to hold up the fan near the ceiling while you attach the power wires, which means you need at least two people perched on ladders - Short rod is incredibly tricky and difficult to install, things just don't seem to fitSo, no matter how energy efficient that fan is, I just can't stand the loud buzzing. We have standard 8-ft ceilings so we purchased the short rod so it wouldn't hang down too low, but that proved very difficult to install (things just don't fit right with the short rod). I had to pay an electrician $150 to install it for me, and even he had a difficult time installig it. At one point he was about to give up saying the parts just didn't fit, but after one last push we finally were able to get the rod pins into the rod. However after he installed it we noticed the loud constant buzzing. Emerson customer support admitted that this was not an uncommon problem, and at first said it was probably the receiver and offered to send me a new receiver (the small box inside the fan that receives commands from teh remote). But then later they said they had replaced receivers for other customers and the buzzing still continued, so they said they would send me an entire new fan.So after a few weeks I received a new fan from Emerson, and lo and behold the new fan has the exact same problem! Whenever the lights are turned on, it gives off a high pitched electrical buzzing noise. This time I took it apart and found out what the cause was. It was in fact the electronic receiver. Whenever the light turned "on" so that the receiver routes power to the light fixture, it buzzes (doesn't matter if the light bulbs are in or not). Since there is nothing drawing power, this means that the relay or electrical switch mechanism they use for the lights is just very poorly designed and/or manufactured. Not what I would expect in a higher priced fan like this one.So now I have to wait for them to send me a third fan, and in the mean time we can't use the light because the high pitched buzzing drives us crazy.Overall, this fan is not worth the money, even if it didn't buzz so loudly (in my opinion, the features should yield a price point of about $250-$300, not the $400+ it's currently priced at). But combine the high price with the issues, it's not something I would recommend to anyone right now, at least until they redesign their electronics.

This fan is very energy efficient and moves lots and lots of air. On High it only takes 24 watts and less than 5 watts on low. It is built with a newly designed DC motor using permanent magnets to accomplish this level of efficiency and it has 6 speeds.It is easy for one person to install as it allows you to hang the fan and THEN wire it in. You don't have to have another person hold the fan while you wire it in like some fans do. The instructions were mostly easy to understand but a tad confusing as to which side of the blades were supposed to face the ceiling. It has a tag on each blade "This side up", but you install the blades when the fan motor is upside down sitting on the floor. I installed them wrong after I realized that it circulated air upward amazingly well, but didn't blow down. I removed the blades reversed them and all was fine. It would have been clearer if the tag on each blade had said "This side towards Ceiling" as that would have removed any doubt as to their orientation while assembling.It is almost inaudible on the first two speeds and on the higher speeds you can hear the movement of air but never the motor. I did not experience any "buzzing" of the lights when turned on like some others report. The only small downside is that you cannot dim the lights as it uses 4 Compact Florescent with a color temperature of 2700K to mimic the color of incandescent lights. They are either on or off. Remote works fine, but uses one of those 12v garage door opener batteries rather than easily attainable AAA. It doesn't wobble one bit.If you run a fan all the time for air circulation this fan certainly is one of the most economical and quietest fans you can run. Paid $419 on Amazon and it was $700 at a local lighting store. I considered Casablanca, but went with this one because of the low energy use.It is a really well built fan but I gave it a four because the lights can't be dimmed, installation of the blades could have been clearer, and the remote doesn't use a common size battery.

This is a very good fan. It is very quiet; far more so than other remote control fans I have had. It is reasonably easy to install. It is heavy, so the initial push up to the hanging bracket can be difficult, but since the remote reciever is built in, there are few wires to deal with. There are lots of parts one needs to install, not hard, but it does take a awhile. The parts list could be more explanatory; it can be difficult to know what screw is what. It has one fault, in my opinion. that is the funky light bulbs. It uses four pin type CF bulbs that are nearly impossible to find at your local big box store. It outputs a reasonableamount of light, but probably not enought to be the sole light source in large room. The blades are directional. That means they need to be installed exactly as the directions state or it simply will not move much air. But with the blades installed correctly, it does blow like a hurricane! Also, it comes with a good remote. It does not take the place of a light switch, but there is a holder so you can mount it near a switch if you wish. Many places, including Amazon, offer another remote. This one needs to mounted in wall box and it takes a rare battery. So, unless you are a remote control collector, the one that is included is probably fine. For $450, I expected more.
