I have this fan, there are mayor flaws, one is that most of the time is does not respond to the remote very unpredictable,is a lot a work for it to respond, if you have more than one, the remote may or may not work with all the fans is unpredictable, the other problem is that if you cant find the remote you cannotturn on the unit, if the communication problems was resolve puss if they can also allow the manual use of the unit, it would be a great piece, The 1st timeI learn of these fan was in costco.com, we both about 8 for our church, we needed the fans we suffer thru all is inconvenience that the only reason we don'treturn them but I don't recommend no one this kind of ordeal. Is a mayor pain.
