I want to buy a ceiling fan for a medium-sized bedroom with 8'

The brands that SWMBO has looked at on the web include Hunter, Hampton
Bay, and Casablanca.

Some advice I've seen on the web and usenet include things like (a)
remote controls often break, (b) some intelligent chip thing on
Casablancas can burn out in power surges and they won't ship you a new
one for free, etc.

I'm asking about the brands now because much of the advice I found is
at least a few years old and thus of questionable applicability to
fans available now.

Remote control is great in a bedroom.

Yeah. Instead of controlling the fan at the entrance to the room, you get to
tear the bedsheets apart, look under the bed and nighttables, behind the bed,
and perhaps in several other rooms looking for the remote.

That is a user problem that we never had in 12 years.
Perhaps some people are not smart enough to use a remote, for the rest
they are very nice.
