I was really hoping this fan would be similar to my old fan where you have 3 speeds, remote, turning options etc. It has all of that...but the remote is weird and cumbersome, it goes through 3 speeds and after the 3rd shuts off and you start all over haha. I wish it would just stay on and let me switch from the high, mid, low. It is however VERY quiet compared to other fans. You just have the sound of the air being blown vs. other fans where you hear the choppy noise and the mechanical noises it makes. It also has some sort of thing where you can adjust the temperature but I have yet to notice any difference from that.
