Modern first world problem

I am looking to replace a couple of ceiling fans in the house, and the choice is more confusing than ever:  AC or DC; wall control or remote; remotes that are old fashioned IR or wireless; blades made of some sort of plastic, wood or metal.   

So, you pick a model that seems to have all the features you need, then look at the consumer reviews on Google or elsewhere.  A key feature for a ceiling fan - whether they are noisy or not - on the model I had pretty much settled on, featured about 12 consumer reviews on the matter, and the break down was 6 said it was very quiet; 6 found it noisy! 

A key reason I want this model, though, is that it is controllable through an app on your phone.  That seems a useful feature that should be more common.
