" ... This particular fan is white and it looks fantastic and is (usually) super quiet. ... The sound would go away if I placed my hand on the light and slightly stabilized the fan, so I'm assuming it was just wobbling a little and causing the plastic bits to squeak. ... It looks beautiful and moves a great amount of air without being excessively noisy. ... "

" ... I put in a smart GE wall switch and that works great with Alexa. ... I almost never change the settings, and the remote works great for the fan as does the phone app. ... I now use the GE wall switch with Alexa to turn it on and off, and rarely change the fan speed settings, and do that with the remote or phone app I also have a Big Ass Fan I6 and it works great with Alexa. ... "
" ... I have not installed it to Alexa, but I heard that it works very well. ... "
" ... New ability to control with phone app is great. ... "

" ... I quickly downloaded the app and am able to control both of these with my phone. ... "
" ... Works with Alexa and because of its design pushes more air than any other fan I have ever had. ... "

" ... I bought one in 2017 for my bedroom, and recently renovated two guest rooms and bought two more. ... "

" ... Finally, the color and intensity of the light isn't wonderful, but I suppose that's more of an issue with LED lights in general. ... "
" ... all the multiple functions are great . ... "
" ... The light is pretty bright. ... "
" ... I have not found a way to adjust the color of the light. ... Would be a nice feature. ... "
" ... The light is nice and bright and can be dimmed to any level. ... "
" ... I am 5”3 and I measured 20” from my ceiling to the fan light. ... The light is good but takes time to get use to since I’m used to the old ceiling light that had 3 bulbs. ... "
" ... fan speed, light dimmer, sleep function, etc. ... If you are looking for a basic fan that just moves some air, I would look at some more cost conscious options. ... "
" ... And while I thought I bought the version without the light, apparently I didn’t. ... It also has variable light settings, good thing cuz the high setting is pretty bright. ... "

" ... More expensive but worth the money. ... "
" ... I just dont think the $200 price increase justifies the value of this gadget. ... "
" ... The price is a bit high, but it offers much more options than the cheaper model on the market. ... "
" ... however, it would be nice also have the light to change hue at this price point. ... "

Overall performance
10fan, quiet, speeds, fans, amazingly
+100%
" ... I have yet to get it above speed # 3. ... "
" ... There is 7 speeds for the fan . ... "
" ... The fan makes virtually no noise on lower speeds. ... Not sure about the highest speed since I don't need that much wind. ... "
" ... Love the ‘swish’ feature that varies the fan speed oh so slightly so that it actually feels like a breeze. ... "
" ... That doubled the overall cost of the fans, but I would say that it has been totally worth it. ... The fans run quietly at any speed. ... "
" ... However, when turned on and running, this fan is a dream. ... "
" ... Bought it before the latest price increase and while expensive, if you want quiet, this is a great fan. ... "

" ... Best of all it seamlessly integrates with Alexa. ... "
" ... I put in a smart GE wall switch and that works great with Alexa. ... "
" ... Had no issue connect it to Alexa and "she" controls the fan with no issue. ... "
" ... After I got them connected it is now super-convenient to be able to walk into our dark bedroom and say, "Alexa, turn on master bedroom light" instead of fumbling for a switch on a lamp (we had no previous overhead lighting). ... "

" ... I almost never change the settings, and the remote works great for the fan as does the phone app. ... "
" ... I would rather have $200 taken off the fan price and do without the app. ... The app allows you to turn on the fan and light from your phone, as well as other functions. ... So, if you are someone who needs an app based fan that looks sexy spinning, go for it! ... "
" ... The fans can be controlled easily by the well-designed remote or Android app. ... "
