I bought it two years ago, so I can give a good evaluation.
It is very good, it is quiet on the first and second speed, on the third speed it is also quiet, but because it rotates very fast, you can hear the flow of air on the blades, so I believe you will never need to put it on the third speed.
The blades are double-sided, on one side they are stainless steel color, and on the other side they are dark brown vege.
It is very stable on the ceiling, and it is worth its money, I highly recommend it.
And a secret....set the blades to direct the air towards the ceiling, since it is clockwise and counterclockwise, the air is diffused on the ceiling and falls like an umbrella, so the air comes from all sides of the room and you feel a breeze cooling you from all sides.
