5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Fan, April 20, 2007

This review is from: Hunter 21617 Palermo 52-Inch Energy Star Brushed-Nickel Ceiling Fan with 5 Maple/Cherry Blades (Tools & Home Improvement)

Energy Star rated, which I view as a big plus. The florescent light fully lights my bedroom and is not what I would consider "harsh" light. The remote control is fantastic, especially when going to bed because I do not have to get up to turn off the lights. The fan is extremely quiet and smooth ... I have yet to hear the fixture shake. Not only is the fan extremely functional, but it is pretty stylish, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fan but change the wireless frequency during install., January 2, 2008

This review is from: Hunter 21617 Palermo 52-Inch Energy Star Brushed-Nickel Ceiling Fan with 5 Maple/Cherry Blades (Tools & Home Improvement)

We had our electrician install two of these fans: one in my office and one in the master bedroom. The fan locations are on opposite ends of our house. As expected they work great. However, much to my surprise, each handheld remote unit controlled both fans. Turning one fan on resulted in both going on. A quick call to Hunter customer service confirmed my suspicion: all fans are shipped on the exact same frequency from the factory. "Just change the frequency on one fan" the support person said. The problem is changing frequencies requires removing the fan from its ceiling mount. Luckily our electrician had some free time the next day to do the change. Problem fixed. Well sort of. My neighbor has the exact some fan. Occasionally, when he turns on his fan our fan goes on. Guess our electrician needs to make one more stop at our house!

2.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Horror To Install, October 18, 2008

These fans, while cool looking, are an absolute horror to install. If you buy them, be prepared to exercise your patience to the max. They provide too many screws which are similarly sized with no clear direction as to their use. Even when you do figure out which ones to use where, they don't go in correctly (especially in the ring around the light)! The fan has to be one of the poorest I have installed from an engineering perspective. Once they are installed, they perform decently - they are quiet. However, had I known what a pain it was to do the installation, I would have purchased another brand altogether. For the price paid for these fans, I would say they are not worth it. Don't say I didn't warn you.
