Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Royal Oak ceiling fan from Hunter combines elegant style with reliable operation. A ceiling fan such as this is a great addition to any space because it can help cut energy costs all year long. Use it during the summer to cool off, or run it during the winter to recirculate the warm air that rises throughout the house.

The Royal Oak features a classic and refined bronze finish with five 60-inch medium oak/dark cherry reversible blades with 12-degree blade pitch. The AVT hanging system makes installation a breeze, while the Installer's Choice three-position mounting system gives you the freedom to hang it in standard, flush or angled position. The wobble-free canopy helps prevent imbalances, and the 210 x 15 millimeter AirMax motor, designed to run cooler and quieter from the inside out, features a die-cast, multi-fin aluminum rotor and exclusive impeller, making it the quietest, coolest and smoothest-running motor Hunter has ever offered. And the convenient hand-held remote allows for independent control of the fan's speed.

Energy Star qualified (which means it meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency), the Royal Oak comes with a lifetime warranty backed by Hunter's 100-plus years of fan expertise.

This review is from: Hunter 23688 Royal Oak 60-Inch Ceiling Fan with 5 Dark-Cherry/Medium-Oak Blades and Remote Control, New-Bronze (Tools & Home Improvement)

I just installed 2 Hunter 23688 Royal Oak 60-inch New Bronze fans in my living and family room which both are 2-story (15') ceilings. I used a 48" downrod on both and each runs very quiet without any vibration. The remotes can be set at different frequencies so you will not have a problem with both fans being controlled by one remote. The down draft is very good and I have yet to use the high setting since the mid-range is enough. I have Hunter fans in all of the bedrooms (4) and I am very satisfied with the product and would gladly recommend them. Also, the price on Amazon was about $80 cheaper than the price at my local electrical store.

The Royal Oak 60 inch fan is so quite you will hardly note that it is running. Unilke my previous fans where you hear a rhythm of off and on, you hear nothing from the motor with the Royal Oak. Only on the high setting you will hear the fan blades. I used a 60 inch down rod and their is no vibration. The installer was amazed at the fans balance. The fan moves a high volume of air.

I bought this fan a little while ago. I waited to do the review to get some use out of the item first. I have several fans in my house of different types. Some Casablanca's and some Hunter's. This fan was installed in my Living room 21' x 17' with 9' ceilings. I was looking for a large fan since this room was converted to a family office and now has 5 computers set up with a bunch of associated electronics. All of that equipment gives off a lot of extra heat and I wanted to get a fan to move the air around to supplement the AC. I have another Hunter 60" fan in my den (same room size) except that fan got bad reviews due to remote problems. I have not seen any of those problems with my unit but then again I do not have a light kit on that fan or this one.
Install of the fan went smoothly which was not a surprise sine I have installed 75+ fans to date. It looks like Hunter changed the canopy design on this model a bit. I think it an improvement but it was a little challenging to get the canopy to lock in at first. Once installed the fan works very nicely. The remote is the same as my other fan so I changed the code and there is no issue of interference. The fan makes a little noise like almost all Hunter fans when running. This is always a contention with me since most of the fans I have installed have been in bedrooms. Since this is in an office with computers and such you cannot really distinguish the fan noise from a computer fan or fan in a printer so this is not an issue. If you are looking for a fan that is completely silent this is not going to work for you. Now that being said I had to climb up a ladder and get right next to the base of the fan to hear the noise. Now it wasn't the dead of night in the house when you could hear a pin drop too. I have a Casablanca Holiston fan (60") also and it makes s about the same level of noise as this one. I paid a lot more for that one too. That one is installed in my bedroom and I don't have a problem with that level of noise.
The remote is easy to use and I like the form factor. The low speed of the fan seems to be a little too low for me and the high speed seems a bit high. I use the Medium setting and it works out great. It moves a good amount of air and the air noise is not that noticeable. I would recommend this unit to anyone it seems to be well made and operates well.
