The remote control is nice, it has the same button icons as the fan does except the power and fan speed buttons are separate on the remote.
It was very easy to assemble. One thing I do really like about the assembly and disassembly is that the screw to hold the base to the pole has its own handle if you will so you don't have to worry about tools at all.
I personally don't mind the noise level because I like white noise while I'm sleeping. I normally would never turn on a fan while trying to watch TV but the lowest level of this fan is soft enough that I don't mind having it on and turning the TV up only a couple notches.
Now let's talk about the power on this bad boy. The highest setting on this fan will move your hair out of your face. I honestly could almost say this is close to a home industrial fan with a remote. If you like to keep It cold in your room while sleeping or have to have moving air, this fan is for you. Before this fan I had two box fans in my room and I would still wake up sweating but with this fan I had no issues at all it kept me cool all night and some nights I would wake up and have to turn down the fan.
It does come with a oscillating feature that does have a decent range.
It comes with a timer and the remote comes with the button to change that as well.
The last thing is it does have a breeze setting. I had no clue and I may not have payed attention or something of that nature but I thought it was pretty cool. The button for it is just three dots which I was very confused by at first because I didn't know what it was but upon further investigation it was the breeze setting which also has three modes you can change and you can simultaneously change with the fan speeds as well.
Over all I do love this fan it has has one tiny hiccup which is the pole at the tallest hight will slide down over time and it's not very tall at only 4ish feet at the tallest hight but honestly all of that is over looked with how well it works and how sleek the design is.
