If the existing light box is on a hanger bar, I'll take the bar down and replace w/ a fan box and fan rated bar hanger. I use the one that can be installed w/o going into the attic. Takes about 10 minutes to get it setup. If there's a block, I'll remove the existing box and attach fan rated box to that block.

I don't like remotes either. I always push for in-wall fan speed controls and dimmers. I sell a lot of the lutron adriana wall controls. But if you must have a remote, the hunters seem to have the best range.

Best and worst fans....ease of installation.
As far as standard ceiling fans, hunters take the longest. I think its hampton bay that makes a fan that has snap on blades. Within 15 minutes the entire fan can be assembled w/ a light kit.

I have my own order. Unpack blades, then arms, then screws.

Install downrod (if less than 12") and canopy.
Flip fan over and attach blades to fan.
Attach light kit.
Mount fan bracket.
Hang fan.
