I purchased four of these fans for my new house. My 19 year old son and I installed them. Although installation was not the easiest, by the time we got to the fourth fan it went pretty quick. The price is excellent; the fans are beautiful and they work great. They are quiet and they really move the air. Hunter is the best brand for ceiling fans. I have been using them for 25 years.

Air movement is somewhat disappointing. I bought a couple of Hampton Bay fans for other bedrooms (same size), and the high speed is higher on them. The fan is slightly out of balance, so I will need to work on balancing it, unlike the Hampton Bay fans. It was missing the tassel ends for the chains, so I'm contacting Hunter directly on getting them. If the electrician had not already installed it, I would have returned it. Hopefully, the motor will last longer on the Hunter. It was supposed to have medium base bulbs, but it actually has candelabra base - not my favorite. In its favor, it is a very nice looking fan and it is quiet. Amazon needs to adjust its "return" policy to include shipping missing parts so you don't have to return a bulky item for a small missing part. They have no easy way to contact them regarding such issues.

We bought two fans. They shipped and arrived sooner than expected. We assembled both fans and had them installed in less than an hour. They are very quiet and steady. The chains barely jiggle even when the blades are on high and we did not need to balance the blades. The light is soft and plenty bright. This is an excellent fan.

Very good air circulation and very quiet. Nice light fixture too--you can find candelabra base CFL's if you want, instead of the incandescent bulbs provided in the kit.

Hunter fans are well-made, easy to install, and will last a long time. The two-sided blade colors both match our decor perfectly. I wish the electric codes had not changed because the smaller bulb that is now required does not give off as much light as my older ceiling fan lights, but that is not the manufactureres issue. Overall, it's a beautiful fan at a very good price.

Good price for a Hunter. Purchased for my home office. I've always had good luck with Hunters. The one in my bedroom is 15 years old, only stops for cleaning & runs silent. Delivered on time.
It's not the first fan I've hung. I had to add a 2x4 between trusses for fan support....took about 45 minutes and required a trip into the attic. The actual fan installation and assembly took 20-25 minutes and was fairly easy. Pull chain for the light is very easy and smooth....not so much for the fan speed chain. I find it myself reaching above the light shroud to pull it. Not a big enough deal to take away a star since I tend to "set it and forget it" with ceiling fans.

We purchased this fan and a 18" down rod for our cabin. It is a nice fan at a reasonable price. It provides a decent amount of light and the fan is pretty quiet as it runs. We have another Hunter and have found them to be a good fans and we run it frequently in summer and winter. Overall I would rate this fan with 5 stars as it has met all our needs and expectations.

If it's not a Hunter Fan, I won't even look at it.
They are dependable, quiet, attractive and quite
reasonably priced.
Thanks,

I have purchased some cheaper fans for some rooms in my house, but needed a quiet fan in the master bedroom for great sleeping. This fan is super quiet. My wife didn't even know the fan was running even on low speed which seems to be where you hear the worst noise (motor, clicking, etc) on some fans. I purchased the brushed nickel fan and it is beautiful. The fan is very classy and looks great in the master bedroom. There was one part of the instructions that was not clear and the separate wires for the light and the fan were not labeled. Other than that, the fan was easy to assemble.

fabulous price, easy to install. No problems with returning items I did not need. Thank you so much for this quality product.
