Avoid super cheap ones
Martec are ok brand
The more $$ the better
If you are getting one for the bedroom, it is a good idea to get a remote control* with a temperature setting. Ours is great. You set your desired temperature and if the temperature drops during the night the fan will slow down and stop. Just got to remember to turn it off auto when you get up or it will automatically come on again as the day warms up.
*this can be added to most fans as a separately purchased optionPlus one for the remote for the bedroom. Even if it doesn't have the sensor, it is nice to not have to get it of bed when you get cold and want the fan off.
We have basic fans, not super flash, but not Bunnings cheap either. They work well, are fairly quiet.
While we're at it, what is a typical installation cost getting a light replaced with a fan/light combo?
Big ass fans are silent. They are expensive as well but if you want quality and no noise during the night this is worth considering
