(More customer reviews)I have several Craftmade Fans throughout my home but they are the "contractor" Craftmade Fans that don't have a remote. I was hoping to find a Craftmade Fan with a remote that had reverse on it but none matched my other models. So I purchased this ceiling fan with the intent to install the remote control in my Craftmade Contractor ceiling already installed in my great room (which has 12 foot ceilings). Sorry to bore you with the details but there is a reason why I am sharing this information. Installing the remote into my great room ceiling fan was extremely easy. You remove the housing at the top that covers the wires and the remote unit slides into a bracket. This took maybe ten minutes total. I installed the Cosmos Unipack in a spare room. The installation was relatively easy to complete. The directions that come with the fan aren't the greatest, but they are easy to follow. For instance, if you decide to use the shortest downrod (2 in) than do not install the cover that goes on the fan housing! Otherwise you will not be able to fit the housing that covers the wiring at the ceiling. This is not stated in the directions. I didn't require any help installing this fan or another person to hold it while I worked on installing it. Once I got everything installed, I tested to make sure the lights came on and the fan came on. The lights came on when I turned on the power switch. Just to let you know the lighting produced by this ceiling fan sucks! It has two 40 watt bulbs with the small twist end and it doesn't illuminate worth crap. Anyway, when I went to pull the chain for the fan I noticed something very important... There is no pull chain for the fan or light! I really should have noticed this right away and it makes sense not to have pull chains if you have a remote but I just wanted to make you aware of my mistake. Anyway, I didn't disassemble the fan but I removed it from the spare room (completely assembled) and removed the one from the great room (completely assembled) and switched them out. I also put the remote unit back in the Cosmos. The Cosmos fan seems to push more air than my Contractor Craftmades which is nice. But the light unit that was installed on the contractor unit produces much more light. If I didn't have recessed lights installed in my great room I would definitely buy several floor lamps.
So in summary:
Pros:
Easy to install
Moves descent amount of air
Nice Style
Remote works nice
Cons:
No pull chains
Doesn't produce much light
Remote is large
Remote doesn't have reverse
