I have electricians at the house installing the fans and 1 of the 2 fans is missing the the ziploc bag pack with the 3 plastic wire nuts AA, blade attachment screws BB, Blade attachment rubber washer CC, blade attachment metal washer DD, blade attachment metal nut EE, Balance Kit HH and Allen wrench II. I will need the ziplock bag with the above parts sent to the store for pickup.

I purchased 2 of these fans for our living room. We have vaulted ceilings and a huge room. The 2 fans look wonderful. The construction of the fans is top notch! It comes with a 4 setting switch that allow you to have as much or as little air circulation as you wish.

This is a beautiful piece but it does give off an annoying humming sound when on any level other than high. I would recommend because of it's unusual beauty but also would not because of the humming.

Great looking fan! Bought it on sale as well! But remember it is a 3 blade, so dont expect it to move a whole bunch of air. To bad they dont make it in a 5 blade. Switch is ok, kinda bulky and hard to toggle between the 4 settings. So far so good after 2 weeks of daily use.

Hi Tech
I was afraid to purchase because of the reviews that it made noise; It is a very quiet fan. The clear blades are very cool. And it give nice airflow. I recommend!

    I liked the photo in the internet and read all the reviews. It's as good as or better than I thought. I actually bought two to hang on a recently enclosed lanai, and we love the look, they are quiet and wired onto one switch.

    We replaced two slightly larger diameter fans with these Hampton Bay fans, on our back porch. They don't put out quite as much air as the original fans we had, and they also rotate a little more slowly. We have two of them, controlled by one Wall Control. If I get ambitious I may try adding the second Wall Control, since we still have one left, to see if it makes a difference....but we didn't need two of them with the original fans. We always ran the original fans on setting "2", now we are running these fans on setting "1" to get approximately the same amount of air. The original fans had more "curve" in the blades, plus were slightly larger diameter, so they worked better than these. But these fans look much better, they go better with our black porch railing and outdoor light fixture, they are very quiet and they do get the job done, so we certainly don't regret our decision to replace the old, faded ceiling fans that these replaced!

    This fan was very easy to install, mainly because I already had an electrical box in the ceiling of my covered patio that was controlled by a wall switch. I find the hardest part of installing a ceiling fan is installing an electrical box that is rated for ceiling fans. And running wiring for a wall switch can be a big job. This fan does not have a chain to turn it on and off so you must have a wall switch. The 4 speed wall switch is included with the fan. Don't ever use a regular light dimmer switch to control a fan. The control must be solid state or something like that. What I like about the fan is the sleek look of it. And even with only 3 blades, it moves as much or more that the 5 bladed fans.

    Great industrial look!
    I live in an industrial style loft so I wanted something unique to fit the feel of our living room. The fan looks great, it's quiet, and has great airflow even with our 10 ft ceilings. I had an electrician install it and paired it with the Hunter Simple Connect Programmable Control so I can control it with my iPhone. The only drawbacks are that it is not reversible for the winter and the finish scratches easily so be careful with the blades before you put it together.

    Quiet and functional fan!
    We purchased this fan in our Master Bedroom remodel. Originally concerned that it would not produce a quality air flow because of the price and the 3 blades versus 4 or 5, we were pleasantly surprised! It looks great in our room, industrial but not too contemporary, good quality and the price was excellent!

    Looks Great, Runs Great !
    I installed 2 of these fans in my Great Room in 2005, they have run almost continuously since then. I love the way they look, and they don't fight with my art work or anything else due to the clear blades. I am hoping that I will be able to find replacement blades for them, seeing how I have cracked a couple of them while moving ladders, Xmas trees etc. because they are almost invisible.

      Perfect fit
      Quick and easy installation for a great looking item at a reasonable price point. Quiet and stable from the first go round. I would recommend this fan as a cost effective alternate to the higher end fans on the market to keep in budget without compromising quality.

      Elegant and Modern. Works fantastic and goes with everything!
      I purchased 6 of these fans. I wanted something that was modern and sleek, and that did not distract from my decor. I wasn't sure about the look of the blades, but I am happy to say that I am very pleased. This fan looks elegant and classy, and not cheap at all (which was my worry). I have placed it in several rooms that had can lights or other lighting already, and it looks fantastic! It is super quiet and works extremely well. I love the different settings too. The only thing I can say that was a little negative was the ease of installation. It is not for a novice by any means. However, once it is up, it is well worth the hassle! Love this fan!

      the fan has power and is quiet and delivers a lot of air displacement, which is what I was looking for.

      Great air movement!
      I have a room that was an addition. Always the hottest room in the house. This fan has great air movement. I can stand at the entrance to the room and feel the air move past my legs. The acrylic blades attach by heavy duty steel arms. This is solid construction. One of the better fans I have purchased. There is no light kit because of how the blades attach. As a note, looking up at the fan it looks as if its unbalanced. The movement of the clear blades causes this. Have to look at the fan from the side above the blades.

      Unique Look and Moves a TON of Air
      We bought this fan to replace an existing (ugly) fan right in the middle of our living room ceiling. We wanted something to not stand out and be somewhat contemporary. This fan definitely has the unique factor and blends in (re: NOT stand out) with the ceiling. It is easy and straightforward to install and the wall switch with 4 fan speeds can put the speed from very slow to high-speed. The highest 2 (even 3) speed setting definitely move and circulate a lot of air around our living room, which is 300-400SF with 11ft ceilings. Highly recommend if you like the look. Also, as another poster commented, when the fan is spinning it almost gives it an optical illusion affect of wobbling due to the clear transparent fan blades.

      Great
      I am very pleased with this product. My only improvement would be to have the fan spin a little faster in high mode. Otherwise, it's great.

      Quiet, powerful fan but not light adaptable
      If you don't need lights, this fan is a real winner. For a fan that moves so much air, it is very quiet. Due to the clear blades, it looks like it wobbles when it is running but it doesn't (its an optical illusion). A light dimmer can also control the fan speed - I found this out by accident. Its only drawback is that a light kit cannot be installed.

      Motor runs hot
      Installed correctly and i am moving it after it has been running all night. I was removing the screws and pushed the fan motor to one side to get to the bonnet screws and WoW is that motor HOT! I have installed and removed many fans (handyman) and have never felt such a hot motor. Will this motor "break in" and not run as hot OR will it fail prematurely?

      Response from Ed Yano Hampton Bay RepMay 16, 2024
      Thank you for your feedback on the 56" Florentine IV ceiling fan. We appreciate your expertise as a handyman and value your observations.

      It is normal for AC motors to heat up during operation, and this is generally not a cause for concern. The Florentine IV model features a very compact motor design without a large housing, which can make the heat more noticeable compared to other fan models with larger housings.

      Rest assured, the motor is designed to operate efficiently at these temperatures and should not fail prematurely. However, if you continue to have concerns or notice any unusual performance issues, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at 1-877-902-5588. They can provide further assistance and ensure your fan is operating correctly.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for choosing our products. We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction. HamptonBayEdYano
