This fan exceeded my expectations by a mile! I have a stove in our basement that was emitting more than enough heat, but it was of course accumulating toward the ceiling while leaving the floor considerably colder. My choice was to install 2 traditional ceiling fans, or to install this fan. I am so happy to have installed this fan. It completely eliminated the need for the traditional ceiling fans and now actually heats up the floor. The very large room is now very comfortable even down to the floor. It is very quiet and easily fits into the 2x2 ceiling tile space. I would not hesitate to buy another. Thank you for this wonderful product!!!
