I really like the fan. It is built well. Has a 6 speed remote control. The remote receiver fits in the top of the bracket the fan hangs from. The instructions say it goes in the motor housing. Not even close and the motor does have a housing that fits around the motor for looks.
One of the little plugs that the receiver plugs into did not want to plug together and I quickly got tired of messing with it. I am an industrial electronics technician so, I cut the plugs? off and used marine butt connectors with the silicone inside to seal and heat shrink outter coverings. I wont have any intemittant connections on my receiver. You probably wont have an issue with yours. Otherwise, the instructions were correct.
There is not reversing switch for summer/winteron the fan itself. The remote has a button to reverse the fan.
It is a little odd when the fan starts from a stopped position. I guess it is a diagnostic or test feature built into the unit, but when it starts it moves in one direction about 1/2 and then the other direction about 1/2 and does that a couple times real quick and then starts spinning normally. First time I started the fan I thought something was wrong. It is just its normal pre-start maneuvering.
