Original 52 in. Indoor/Outdoor White Ceiling Fan

I recently got this fan about a week ago and I just love it so much. I have always liked the design of an Original, it never goes out of date. It's very quiet, moves a ton of air and you can just feel the quality built in the fan. I love that the blade arms are now cast iron to match the motor housing material. I also just really like this new motor tag. When I saw photos of this fan I wasn't too intrigued with the blade color but let me tell you that it looks better in person. I still think the light gray oak side is the worse of the two, only because I feel like the blades should give contrast to the fan. But over all I love this fan, I love how modular it can be and I just love how robust and high quality it feels. If you are thinking abut buying this fan or any Hunter Original, I encourage you to do it. It will last you a life time and you wont be disappointed.

Product comes with fan blades that fail to maintain their appearance as the laminate covering them becomes loose over time. (2.5 years in my case) Manufacturer warranty for blades is only good for one year. Reordering blades is difficult to impossible as they must be installed with brand new grommets, as the rubber grommets needed pulverize and cannot be reused. Manufacturer will not ship blades and grommets together as they may not be simultaneously available for reordering. Also, expect to pay for shipping for both blades and grommets.

Hunter never fails to meet my expectations. Replaced a Hunter fan I already had with this one, because this fan is just that solid. The fit and finish, performance, and aesthetic of this fan are nothing short of sublime. I have no doubt this unit will last me decades.

We love this fan. We are ordering three more as well as five of the four blade type. Quiet and powerful, you don't even know it is running.

I just purchased 2 23847 fans. Upon installation and opening the bottom of both fans the switch in both of them fell part

They are the best ceiling fan model made, and perfect fans for outdoor use! My relatives bought two for their porch, and they're still in good condition. They are installed with 4 blades for old fashioned look and for more air movement since 4 blades actually blow more air than 5 blades do when they don't cause as much drag and there are more space for air to flow since there are fewer blades in the way. They do much better than most outdoor ceiling fans, because most outdoor ceiling fans, like most ceiling fans in general, are not really made to cool the room without AC, but Hunter Original started back in early 1990s when there was no air conditioning, and airflow on those hadn't really decreased since then. Hunter Original production moved to China back in 2002, and the motor has downgraded. In 2015, the motor had old elements back while it still looks the same as ones from 2002 to 2015, so while it's still made in China, it's a return to USA style. And while you have to oil the fan when installing it, and check oil every 5 years under "normal use", and most ceiling fans have "sealed" bearings, bearings can't be 100% sealed since there is a gap between spinning part and non-spinning part, and "seal" makes it harder to repair bearings when they go bad. Oil-bath bearings can last very long time if oiled many times! Those 2 fans in porch also have Hunter 99179 remote kit specifically for Hunter Original, and remote makes good speeds, and canopy that came with remote kit are different but still look good. They also have Hunter bowl light kit.

I was hoping for a little more airflow based on the specs but overall a significantly better fan than the other lower cost options from Hunter. It's worth the extra money.

great fan…moves air well….dependable….quality product.

These fans are super-solid. If you have a hard to reach, high place that you only want to go once(20 feet off the ground) - I recommend this fan - because you will only install it once and never have to replace it. One word of warning, I have only seen one of these fans wobble and I have installed about 6 of them - if you buy more than one and are using 4 blades....don't use the 5th blade from one fan on another fan. I did this, and the fan wobbled. I was perplexed. I found the blade in question(they are numbered by lot with small stickers) and replaced it with one from the same lot and--- "viola" the wobble disappeared.
