MAN, after having to install 20+ fans in the past 3 months alone, in my own house. YOU GET REALLY TIRED, and good at installing them, but this by far takes the cake for the easiest install. Only thing I changed with it, is I removed their wire connector kit that connects house wire to the remote control box. 1) I'd have to whip out my gadget screw set to unscrew the tiny screws, 2) their position kind of forces you to unscrew it out of its location, unscrew the six screws for the wires, since it's near impossible to wrangle them in the position they're at. 3) then you finally have to screw down the six screws, use a new bit, and then screw the kit back to its home on the plate. So instead, I opted for my old friend the 3 wires leaver kit. They're super cheap, I have yet to run into issues with them, knock on wood, and a little VHB tape allows you to mount them wherever you like. As for mounting, it's a little overkill. They give you four screw points. NICELY gasket (for vibration dampening) and slotted. You could use four, or just line up two, since this thing weighs nothing, not nothing, but most ceiling mounts shouldn't have issues with this, you're not going to need to whip out molly bolts or toggle bolts. As for operation, this will do a 10x10 room no problem, but not much bigger. I personally bought this to supplement my living room fan since that back door is still DRAFTY as if I left it open; even though I gasket and sealed it to heck. This will hopefully force the air out of that 10x4ft hallway into the living room which should then push it into the kitchen, then to the second kitchen fan installed, and away from the main area of this long tubular house that I live in. Currently have 11 fans that are supposedly moving something like 24,000 cubic feet per minute, which is about the total CUBIC FOOTAGE of my house, per minute, though I think my issue is it's just stirring it and I need to figure out an escape route for it. HMM... I have 4 AC UNITS, in this house, 2 are crippled and SORT OF WORK with a lot of struggle. One has a coolant leak, and the upstairs one won't turn on, even though all the breakers are flipped to on. NO CLUE what that's about. Have spent 15K on repairs, no one will replace them for me, since it would be too much work for them and that's kind of the problem with GULF COAST MS, no contractor wants to do the work. HENCE THE NEED TO INSTALL 20 fans (some I've had to re-install multiple times, since some of the amazon ordered fans didn't work). The major complaint and this is with all that include "LIGHT KITS", is they're NEVER BRIGHT ENOUGH. This is why I don't like "LIGHT KITS", give me a good old fashioned Edison Socket. So if you were using this in your bedroom, or kid's/spare bedroom; better have some bed-side lamps. It's more than fine for the hallway it's going to, since I keep this house lit like the Griswalds' house in Christmas Vacation. NOT even that much of an exaggeration. LOL... My neighbors haven't complained, but the point is, that hallway light being anemic isn't too bothersome, but for like a bedroom/office/small room, it's not going to be enough. The last complaint I have with this and is for ALL CHINESE FAN KITS on AMAZON, which I now have 4, NO PULL CORDS for the fan or light. I'm thinking about retro-fitting one for the bathroom one, shouldn't be too hard. BUT still wished this wasn't a trend. I get it, "CLEAN LOOK", sure fine, whatever, but then that makes you a slave to the remote. I mean yes, this has an "APP" you can use, BUT MAN... NO OFFENSE TO THIS COMPANY, but I just don't trust your app, and is why I stay away from "SMART" gadgets. I'm not technophobic, currently surrounded by 5-6 full fledged PCs in my living room as we speak. There's 6 android devices including my phone, and 2 apple tablets. It's just I don't need my home appliances to be smart. Other than that, at this price, you'll be hard pressed to find a fan this size. Since even at Lowe's, I think the least expensive 42in (since I couldn't find one smaller in-store) was like $75. They do sell their cheap-o "architecture" line for $60 that's pretty good and I use in the spare bedrooms in my house, of which are 4, and two in my personal bedroom since they move a lot of air and have ONE edison light socket. So, if you are like me, and need a specialty sized fan, this will work great. Also, unlike the last small fan I bought, these blades are swooped logically. The last one I bought had PROPELLER style blades, and that just created a tight cone. This has a decent spread horizontally and vertically. Also I love how thick plastic these are. Good print job on the blades. When mounted you won't be able to easily tell they're plastic, since the print is good, but up close you can, and that's fine. I'm okay with plastic, especially since my hallway was only 42in wide (rounded it up to 4ft earlier on). So, Yeah, RECOMMEND.
