Is a 72-inch fan too big for a bedroom?

Yes, for most bedrooms. A 72-inch fan is built for large rooms roughly 400 square feet and up, such as open-plan living areas or great rooms. In a small room it will feel oversized and move more air than you need.

Does it come with a remote and timer?

Yes. The fan is remote controlled and has a timer function, and it offers six speeds. That means you can set airflow and shut-off without a wall switch.

How much light does the LED give?

The integrated LED light is rated at 24 watts maximum. That is enough for ambient light in a large room but not for task lighting, so plan on lamps for reading.

Can it be used on a covered porch?

The listing does not state a damp or wet rating, so treat it as an indoor fan unless the label confirms otherwise. Covered outdoor use depends on that rating.

What ceiling height does it need?

A 72-inch fan needs generous clearance, and high or sloped ceilings usually need a longer downrod than the one supplied. Check the downrod and ceiling height before buying.
