IMPT Install notes...Very happy with this fan - it is totally silent (which is key because this is my home music studio) & very balanced at highest speed. Paired it with my Bond for remote control w/ ios.
I watched the install video first before purchase, and made a decision pre-install that was a great move -
The instructions DON'T want you to install blades before you hang it, forcing you to install all of them after it's in the air. Don't do that. Install all but 3x blades before you hang it, that way you're not fiddling with 18 screws and your screwdriver on a ladder, screwing them in from the top down. The only reason for not installing the blades before the hang is so you can make the electrical connections. You only need room enough for your head and arms to fit through, so 3x blades shy was perfect. Lastly, the ball is very tough to get into the bracket for the hang, so you really have to push it up as far as it can go and force it in, then you can rotate it until it descends to the notch.
If I was forced to make a complaint, it's that you can see slight indents where the mounting hole assembly is molded on the plastic fan blade... you can see it slightly in the right light when still, but never when it's moving.
Extremely happy so far. Thanks for a great product.
