Visually, this fan is stunning.For only having three blades it can move a lot of air.However I returned it due to several shortcomings.
The remote was terrible.It did not reliably function beyond 6'.I ended up having to walk around the room w/the remote trying to get the fan to turn off.
Also, my original goal was to control the fan remotely via wall mounted switches.(Leave the room, turn off the switch--not dance w/a remote.)However, this fan only has a single wire (black) for power that controls both the fan and the light; there is no way to control the two elements individually except via the remote (see above).Other manufacturers provide two leads (black, blue), and place the receiving remote b/t the fan leads and the power from the switches. Casablanca elected to integrate this feature in the fan itself.
I think the fan was simply a poor selection for the situation in which I intended to use it.Amazon was very gracious about giving me a refund.I would purchase another Casablanca fan, maybe not from the line of fans in the ~$200 price point; they seem to be electronically "crippled", making them incompatible w/any third party controls.
