Instant Beauty and Function in the Bathroom
With the Hunter Riazzi Bathroom Fan, you can bring instant style and function to the bathroom. Whether you use it as a design feature or fan that blends into the ceiling, the Riazzi does more than keep the mirror from fogging. It provides superior air movement to remove excess moisture from your home--and away from your family--before it creates an unhealthy environment.

Controls Moisture, Improves Air Quality, Prevents Mold
Bathroom fans like the Riazzi should be an integral part of every home's ventilation system. When installed properly, bathroom fans help eliminate odors, improve overall air quality, and most importantly, reduce excess moisture and humidity. Because bathrooms are typically very wet areas of the home that produce a tremendous amount of moisture, a fan is vital in the prevention of damage to building materials as well as mold and mildew growth.

Creates a Stylish Focal Point
Beyond its moisture-fighting benefits, the Riazzi is also a stylish addition to your bathroom. It features an attractive, architectural, cast-beaded design with elegant cased glass, and can serve as both a traditional overhead light and a nightlight.

Warranty Information
The Hunter Riazzi Bathroom is backed by a five-year limited motor warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiet fan moves air well, has low profile, is attractive September 13, 2008

By J. Crouch

I was searching for an attractive replacement for my previous bathroom light/fan combo that had a decidedly utilitarian look. I found that Hunter makes the best selection of decorative light/fan units, and this one has the most powerful fan of all the ones they offer. I was concerned that the fan might be too loud, but I got this one anyway because I needed a fan that would really move air well since we were having trouble with condensation and mildew in the bathroom. I was pleased to find that noise is not a problem at all. The fan is actually quieter than my old fan, and it is much more powerful. When I am in the bathroom I can hear it running, but it is not loud enough to be bothersome. Outside in the hallway, I don't notice the sound. It does its job of drying out the bathroom after a shower very well.

I have two relatively minor points of criticism. (1) When the light is on, you can clearly see the shadows of brackets and other internal parts of the fan through the glass band that runs along the side of the unit. This is not aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps if the side glass was thicker, the shadows would have a fuzzier, more diffuse appearance and would be less noticeable. (2) We were not able to use the nightlight function because we only have two switches on the wall and we didn't want to run new wiring in the bathroom. Rarely do I see a bathroom with three wall switches, so I suspect others may find this to be a problem as well. We could have chosen to wire the nightlight so that it would come on with either the fan or the main light, but it was hard to see what the benefit of that would be. A nice addition would be an electronic eye that turns the nightlight on when the room is dark.

Fan is solid and easy to install. Works well and is reasonably quite. My only complaint is the frosted glass limits the light output. Very nice looking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fan works well- but this one rusts... March 10, 2013

By Joel Robinson

We are on our third Hunter "Riazzi" fan. The electrical and mechanical parts work fine, are reliable, are reasonably quiet, and remove water vapor effectively. Why the 2 stars then? They rust horribly, completely, and in surprisingly little time (see attached pic). These things are the worst. The motor itself and it's housing- they do not rust at all- it's the part of the unit that is connected to the ceiling. If it's made of metal- it's rust-coated (yet elegant) brushed nickel. The only reason I am on my 3rd one is because Hunter graciously continues to send us replacement units even though their warranty does NOT cover rust. I actually went out and purchased a different brand fan, (I'll have Titanic-esque "rusticles" hanging from this thing in another month or two) but the motor unit that mounts into the ceiling was smaller than the one in the Hunter Riazzi unit currently installed, and I didn't want to have to figure out a way to make the opening in the ceiling smaller.)

We do not live near the ocean where it might see salt air. It is not installed outside, in some sort of makeshift shed, or in an environment where it would see moisture all of the time. It's a bathroom fan for goodness sakes. It was installed by a licensed contractor, It's installed correctly, and vented to the outside of my house through the attic (and there's no issues with the short tube that carries the vapor away to a vent in the soffit). It sees 20 minutes of moisture a day. It's supposed to see moisture, right? The fact that these things rust at all, let alone so quickly, is awful.

Hunter customer service was nice, and they thus far have always offered me a replacement unit (which is great and all).... I always request a rust-proofed version, or a different model (I don't care what it looks like, as long as it doesn't rust in 3 months) but Hunter customer service was not able to tell me which of their other fans use the same motor "squirrel cage" (motor housing size- which is surprising and disappointing). I sent the picture that is attached to Hunter customer service, and they didn't seem to care. You'd think that this kind of problem might make its way to their engineering department.

All those who have given this unit glowing reviews- take the cover off (like you were changing a light bulb) and tell me what you see.

For the record- I have never written a review for any product here on Amazon- or any other site. I am just trying to save someone the hassle of dealing with this poorly-designed product. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful modern light/fan combo! August 10, 2012

By Kate

Amazon Verified Purchase

I chose this fan/light for our bathroom b/c I like the design and it's energy-star compliant. It's got a nice modern look and provides fairly bright light since it uses two bulbs (not included). To most people it looks just like a light, not a standard (sorta ugly) grated-ceiling fan so it's a bonus that it's a powerful fan as well. Our bathroom is medium sized but has a really high lofted ceiling that opens up into our bedroom so the power of it is great. It draws in a lot of air but is pretty quiet which is nice. It has a nightlight feature which we haven't used yet b/c we still need to buy a nightlight bulb.
A helpful note...I could not find the dimensions of the actual fan before I bought it but I read in another review that it was larger than they expected. I agree! I still really like it and b/c our ceiling is so high, it doesn't look too big for the room but it would look too big in a small bathroom. It's 15 inches in diameter.
In another review (possibly of a different Hunter fan), the person wrote that they chose a lesser-powered fan b/c they didn't want wind blowing on them. But I'm not sure how that was possible b/c the fan sucks in air up at ceiling level. We placed the fan on the 12 ft ceiling right over our shower and that isn't an issue at all.
Overall this is a powerful fan that (hopefully) uses less energy and looks great! Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Clean, quiet, good looking October 8, 2012

By Kenneth R. Spring

This fan has alow profile, very quiet operation, yet adequate volume to easily handle the bathroom with a large shower. Installation was straightforward except for the instruction to install a cable restraint in the inlet box. This cannot be done with the light fixture overhead unless you have a third arm. It is is a nice-looking unit with good light output.
