Antero 46 in. LED Indoor Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan with Light

Great Fan, Great Price

I've installed several ceiling fans, mostly Hunters, over 30+ years of home ownership. Based on my experience with this fan, which appears representative of Hunters current fans, I will no longer bias my purchases toward Hunter brand. Besides the reports of early failures here (only had mine a week), there are two design & quality issue with this fan: 1 - It hums, especially at medium & low speed. The hum is amplified & resonates through its glass globe. Showing bizarrely inconsistent design, the fan has nice noise insulation via rubber bumpers on ceiling mount + softer plastic hanging "ball" mount yet NO isolation between motor housing & light kit nor light kit & glass globe. Pressing lightly on glass globe reduced my fan's hum sound by a lot. TIP: As others mentioned, I was able to reduce sound a lot by wrapping the 3 globe-mount contact metal tangs with 2 or 3 wraps of thinly cut duct tape (see photo). Added ~ 15 frustrating mins to install. Now fan is somewhat tolerable in bedroom setting. For now anyway. 2 - Consumer is expected to assemble light kit which is difficult on this model, even w/o remote switch kit. It took me at least 15 mins, with lots of cursing + searching for needle nose pliers to fit as I don't have magnetic screw driver. Even the assembly instructions had to lie about this step, showing an empty light kit cavity so that the pesky 3rd screw hole could be shown (see attached photos of the manual "fibs" vs actual views). TIP: Do light kit install in nice comfy chair with magnetic phillips head (essentially required). You will be enjoying that step for a while before trying to arrange, shove, etc the wiring into its box & affixing cover. If I didn't have ~ 2 hrs invested in its install it would absolutely be going back. My only hope now is the fan lasts. And I don't run out of ear plugs:) Hunter sales reps say: "Oh no, our fans do not hum." and "We'll pass the design issues to our engineering team." and contact customer support. If this happens PLEASE let me know if the acceptable solution, paying for an installer to come and remove/replace my fan, would happen. He should bring 4 or 5 of these fans along to hopefully get one with no hum... That's what several other reviews suggest it would take.

This fan is very quiet and it’s the perfect size for my Sons room..

Beautiful fan and it’s so quiet! Love it and I’m going to purchase another one for my other bedroom!

I needed a 12 inch down rod in my application and bought this Hunter. I originally bought a cheaper Hampton Bay (Holly Springs) but the generic down rod at Home Depot didn't work and had to returned it. BL: buy Hunter if you need a longer down rod. The down rod change out was simple. The tricky part is mounting the light kit to the motor. Screw in two screws halfway as they say. You have to be patient and work the light kit onto the two screws. The third one goes in last on purpose. Be careful as there is open slots that the third screw could fall in. Hint: tip the unit slightly at a 30 degree angle. The styrofoam base is handy to hold the unit. Masking tape the open holes if you are the cautious type or clumsy. Be sure to remove the tape after you get the third screw in. Important: Don't remove the black rubber bushings on the motor thinking that will help you get the light kit on. The next hard part is doing the light kit electrical connection. You have to connect it and carefully shove everything back in. There is a white metal lid cover for the electrical connections. It took me several attempts to get all the shoved in. After this... everything went great and fast. If you are a beginner this fan might be too challenging. Hint: You need a few different sized Phillips Head Screwdrivers to install.

Love the sleek, clean lines of this fan. We bought this to replace an out of date ceiling fan and to have one with a light.
