Disconnects from WiFi and becomes a dumb fan often
This is constantly disconnecting from WiFi and does not allow us to control it using our home hub using the Hubspace app. 2.4ghz internet is strong in the room and it will randomly connect. Overall only get if you want to spend $100 more for a fan that isn’t smart.

We are sorry to hear that you are having this issue. The fan should only be connected to the Hubspace app - no hubs are necessary. Without knowing which hub you are referring to, we can not advise of a solution. One issue may be if the receiver is connected to a switch, that would cause the fan to disconnect if the switch is turned off. Please call Hubspace customer service at 1-877-592-5233 and one of the team members will be able to get more information to help troubleshoot and resolve the issue. HamptonBay
    Fan has many functions
    Purchased this fan to replace a fan in our basement that suffered water damage during construction on our house. Wanted one with the nickel finish and a remote. This fan has more functions than we will use but really didn't know what all it did until we got it installed. It has blue tooth where you can download an app and then give voice commands to operate the fan which we won't be doing. The remote is sufficient enough for us. We like the LED light and ability to change the color or brightness. The fan also has four speed settings when most only have three. Our only issue so far is on higher speeds, the fan has a wobble, but I do have a fan leveling kit to fix that.

      The ceiling fan was a major upgrade for me. The fan it replaced was from the 1980s. My new ceiling fan is so quiet, I love it! Now I sleep better and I love that I can control it by Alexa or the remote. The different light settings are pretty cool too.

      Nice !
      Great Products for a great price I love the remotes and how powerful the fan feels, and I also love the different modes for the lighting. There is also a fan setting which provides a quieter tone of a fan motor

        It’s amazing but…
        Unfortunately the light went out and I need to replace it. I can’t find it anywhere to purchase. The part number written on the light is lb6c120w826-30-d160 and if I don’t find to replace it means it is not a good choice to buy as there is no replacing parts. Most important part, it’s light.

          SET SCREW IS HORRIBLE
          You need to be able to remove the set screw in order to hang the fan, and it is stuck in there. Screw is poor quality so you strip it easily. We have returned 3 of these now. DO NOT BUY!

              Set screw
              Like other reviews I am now reading on here, the set screw is a very poor quality material and tightened far too tight to remove. Ended up stripping the screw and not getting it out. Ugh! Now I cannot install the fan.

                I looked and looked for a smart ceiling fan with light until I discovered this Hampton Bay Fanelee 54 in.. I couldn’t wait to install it. It was easy to install with step by step instructions. It was a 1/3 of the weight of the old one I took down. It looks awesome and works with Alexa or the remote that came with it. You can control the fan and light separately with Alexa or the remote. My wife loves it as do I. The fan has 5 levels and the light has so many options I can’t believe it. The fan is extremely quiet and is the best at cooling you off that I have ever had.I highly recommend this fan.

                Love this fan
                I just had this fan installed to replace a Valle Paraiso model (also an HD fan). I liked the old fan but it had a hum and I had to settle for the bronze finish bc HD discontinued the chrome finish. This fan is wonderful. It’s beautiful, moves air well, and with the app the light is dimmable. The light at 100% is super bright*. You can change color temp as well with the app. The only flaw I have found is the remote doesn’t control dimming - you can change can speed and color temp though.

                  I like this fan a lot in the way it looks but a couple things I’m not super impressed with. It hangs a little lower than my previous fan so makes my bedroom look a little smaller. The wiring harness inside does not allow you to use your wall switch to turn the fan and/or light off separately. You have to use the remote or an app on your phone. I’m ok using these options but would also like to just flip a switch on the wall for the fan in its own. Light switch turns the whole thing on. One last thing, the LED lights shine straight down so it doesn’t seem to illuminate the whole room like my older fan. It’s just one big round LED light panel so none aim outwards, only down. You can change the colors to different whites- warm, cool, daytime, etc which is nice and dim it from your phone app only. It’s okay overall. Wish I had done more research before purchasing. Love the colors of fan blades/fixture.

                  Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that you like the fan. In general, most remote control fans are not able to be installed with the remote and 2 separate switches for fan control. The fan's light can be dimmed via the remote as well as the app. To dim the light using the remote, press and hold the light button. While holding the button, the light will cycle through its brightness settings from bright to dim to bright again. Release the button once the desired brightness level is reached. HamptonBay

                  Buy this ceiling fan if you want a WIFI enabled fan.
                  I bought this fan to replace another WIFI enabled fan by another manufacturer. The installation was simple especially on the other fan. However, when it came to set up the App, it stopped as i tried to tegister the product. The Hampton Bay was easy to install. Its best if you have a magnetic screwdriver as its easy do drop the screws into the motor housing when installing the fan blades. The Hubspace setup was simple as was enabling Alexa. The light has various colors of white, the fan has 4 speeds. Ive tested the App away from home and it turned on the fan and or light. I also tested Alexa. The voice commands were not working very well but that just maybe me. However, Alexa or the Hubspace App makes it easy to control the fan. The brushed nickel also looks great.

                  Had it for about a year now.
                  Mine is in a dark panel living room. Hold button down for brightness which we rarely desire it that bright- 13'x22' easily fills the room. We prefer the yellowish softer tone on low. The color of brightness means soft white to ultra-white color. Very compatible Durable- my 2yr old is allowed to play with remote- After 8 months hasn't hurt it. Nothing but great things to say about its look n style, speed of the fan when needed n the light these leds put off Others struggling?? Learn the remote!

                    HAMPTON BAY FANELEE 54" CEILING FAN
                    This is a great looking ceiling fan, love the six different light color options along with the ability to The Hubspace App. Very easy to install but I put too much time into setting up for its installation... 14-3 is not required to run the fan and light with dimming options as well as slow fan speed options. Did all my prep work before purchasing just to find out when opening the box that it uses traditional household wiring utilizing the hot and common and everything else is ran off of a module. So, it appears I have an extra red wire in case the next homeowner wants to wire for a more traditional ceiling fan.

                      We are sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the fan. Please make sure that the fan is operating in the proper direction to create a downward airflow. The reverse switch is located under the motor collar cover. If that does not resolve the issue, please call Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON (1-855-434-2678) and one of the team members will be able to get more information to help troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

                        Alexa's "Biggest Fan".
                        Very easy to put up with the "Quick Connect". Alexa recognizes it very easily.

                        Spotlight: Dining Room Is Dark
                        The light is a downward spotlight. It leaves the corners of the room dark. The room looks like a dim restaurant. My wife hates it. Besides that: Fan looks really sleek & minimalistic. Fan moves the air & it's quiet. Hubspace was easy to figure out & Alexa integration is seamless. Ceiling installation was simple. Verdict: the "decorative shade" light diffuser ruins what would be an otherwise great product. Mama is not happy, so fan is probably going back to the store.

                        We are happy to hear that the fan was easy to set up. We will pass your comments about the light along to the product development team. In general, we recommend using a ceiling fan light as a supplemental source of light used in conjunction with other room lighting such as recessed cans or lamps. HamptonBay

                          Poor Quality Control
                          I wasted an hour of my life installing this fan to only notice the 5 deep gouges in the metal motor directly under the fan blades AFTER I completed the install. Deep, sharp chunks in the metal. How did this pass quality control? The box is fine, no damage, so this is how it left the factory. I got to waste my time buying it, installing it, to now get to uninstall it, and return it. What a complete waste of time!

                            Money Well Spent
                            Over the years I've become very savvy with the purchases I make. This ceiling was no exception. Its extremely quiet and most importantly, it can be controlled via my Google Home because of it's wifi capability. I purchased two - one for my living room and one for my bedroom. Money well spent.

                            Awesome contemporary style fan
                            This fan is beautiful and matches the contemporary style of gray decor. I love the ability to control the fan from the app on my phone as well as the light brightness and colors! The light is very bright and it'll match any brightness of LED lights in your home (2700-5000k). If you're looking for a fan that'll light up a whole room, this might not be the fan for you. But it goes along perfectly with recessed lighting. If you like a light switched fan, don't get this one. Turning power off from the switch will erase the memory. I just wish it came in flush mount.

                                Not happy with the speed
                                I bought 2 of these in Feb'22 from Home Depot, These Fan look great with multi color lighting option however even at high speed, they hardly rotates at full speed and am rating it one because fans are supposed to give us much needed fresh air and relief from humidity but they are hopeless and am disappointed with the purchase. One of the remote didn't had the holder in the box.

                                We are sorry to hear that you feel this way about the fan. On high speed, the fan generate an air movement of just over 6,000 CFM which is on the higher side for fans in this category and should rotate around 160 RPM. Please make sure that the fan is operating in the proper direction to create a downward airflow. The reverse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the top of the fan. If you feel the fan is not operating properly, please call Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON (1-855-434-2678) and one of the team members will be able to get more information to help troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

                                  Lighting and remote are real breakers
                                  This fan is gorgeous, quiet, the light warmth options are great and I like the app feature. It does have some significant downsides. My biggest complaint is that the light seems more like a spotlight. At night, the corners of our bedroom are very dark while middle of the room is well lit. My husbands biggest complaint is that you can only turn the fan/light on by the remote-not a wall switch. The wall mount for the remote is very wobbly. It’s not ideal and I unfortunately cant recommend the fan

                                    We found it easy enough to install and operate. The fan moves plenty of air for the 14' x 16' living space. The dim-able feature is a plus and it is nice to be able to change the white light hue from the yellow range to the cooler blue hues.

                                      just what was needed
                                      We have converted our “formal dining room” into a tv lounge and needed to switch out the giant skull cracking chandelier for something more reasonable for our repurposed space. We wanted a sleek, low profile, wide, smart fan. Plus we like Hampton Bay because it is one of the most DIY friendly designs. We love our new Fanelee! The look is exactly what we wanted, the air movement is outstanding and it is very quiet. We like the warm white the best but will use the other colors occasionally such as for game night. The wifi and smart set up was one if the easiest I have ever encoutered and we have dozens of smart devices. Thank you, Hampton Bay. Another outstanding product!
