Great fan
Fan is very quite had 2 since March 2017 with no problems at all,will never buy a noisy ac fan again. The beep every time you operate the mote lets you know that the fan has received signal.
Purchased in March 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $160.00.

Beeping fan
The fans themselves are reasonably quiet and have a decent airflow
Arlec are however unable, or unwilling to provide the stats (air displacement and noise level)
The unit should be power efficient due to a DC motor and LED light panel, the light is cool white and very bright.
Every time the light, or fan is operated, the unit emits a beep. Arlec has confirmed that this beep cannot be turned off. I have no idea why they chose to make a beeping light and fan, or who would find this acceptable.
The fan speed and operation can only be controlled...Read more
via the supplied remote control, they cannot be controlled via a wall switch. A wall switch can only supply/disconnect power to the unit, unless an additional controller box is fitted (the electrician who fitted our fans suggested that these controller boxes cost an additional $70 each). If the remote control stops working, you may not even be able to turn the fan light on, and if that is the sole light in the room... The reliance on a remote control may make these undesirable for tenanted propertiesPurchased in December 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $170.00.

Questions & Answers
Doug W.asked
What is airflow?
1 answer
I previously queried Arlec about their fan stats (airflow and noise) and they were unable/unwilling to provide details. This appears to be very common with domestic fans. Buying computer fans is much easier, since the vast majority of them clearly state those 2 very important stats.
I would say that these fans have decent airlow and are superior to some other fans due to having 5 different speeds.
