purchased in England- Sensational product and packaging! Firstly I'd like to comment on the superb packaging- built in carry handle on the box made it easily portable and was delighted with the secure, robust but minimal packaging. The fan required no assembly-simply take out of box and plug in-fantastic. The fan itself is so stylish, unique and superbly designed, I purchased black and it looks amazing-everyone comments and enquires about it-thank you Stadler! I've used it about 10 times since purchasing and it cools the room nicely. In a busy room(t.v, kids etc) the noise is no issue and does not interfere with activities- as the levels increase so does the noise but that's owing to the increased motor output and is no more noise than other fans! Love the safety of the grill, I'd highly recommend this superb and stylish fan.

The design is nice but if you go to 2 or 3 it is way to noisy, too bad!

Yes , I agree, it really very noisy, I using only on 1 st level, and it not for night, but design very nice. looking reliable, I not switching off with control knob, I using distance remote control for AC socket. hope it will serve me long, when will by to hot (in UK it's rare) I will use it in same time with loud music or cinema. But bought it more for design. very nice and solid looking brushed stainless steel.

I am very happy with this fan, I also have the wood version which is also pretty but the "Q" is less noisy, although sadly after 4 years there is now a noise on speed #1. Not on speeds ## 2 and 3. I store it in the box every fall and take it out the next summer. It's a pity I can't really clean the blades because over time they do gather dust. But otherwise I recommend this one.

It's noisy. The numbers for the speed can rub off easily. The speed control knob can go off its mark, meaning you can set it at 1 but it spins like it's in 3.
