Beautiful, hard working & quiet.
Shipped quickly & arrived in perfect condition. Packed exceedingly well!! Came with an ACTUAL instruction manual (and a balance kit.) It replaced the OTHER Hunter fan that was in the house when I bought it in 1996. Who knows how old it was! This one is smaller but I adore it. It is elegant and quiet. Had an electrician install it so I would not mess up anything!! LOVING it these hot summer months, and I am running it on LOW!!! Thanks much!

Beautiful and easy to install.
I love this fan! It is beautiful and whisper quiet. I, as a 76 year old woman, removed the old fan and installed this one myself. The directions were straightforward and the guide for sloped ceilings was very helpful. It did wobble and it took some time and patience to get it balanced using the weights included in the package.

    I purchased two of these fans and they are doing the job of keeping my place cool. They were used upstairs one in each bedroom. Now the cooling unit won't have to work as hard. Hunter fans are the only fans I purchase.

    All of my ceiling fans in my house are Hunter fans. So, when I needed to replace a fan in my living room I knew it was going to be a Hunter fan. I replaced it all on my own and with the easy to follow instructions I had it up in no time. It is very quiet and looks great!

    Great fan!
    Easy assembly, less than an hour taking our time and reading all instructions. Well balanced solid unit. These are installed in a covered porch with open sides.

    Hunter fans are excellent. This is the 4th one I have installed and it couldn't be easier. Great product, with great instructions. I have installed other brands in the past that required me to balance the blades with the lead weights. I have never had to do this with the Hunter fans.

    We had a neighbor install for us. He took down the old fan and quickly hung up the new one. No issues. Perfectly balanced, it looks great! Wish we had done that 6 months ago!

    Fantastic! That's the name they should have called it! Love this fan. It's quite and cools the room down quite nicely. It makes those long summer nights easier to sleep. You don't even hear the fan working. What you hear is the soft sound of wind blowing on you drowning out all the background noise that keeps you up at night. Totally recommend.

    My single fan wasn’t cutting it—myblarfe living room was too hot and there wasn’t enough light, so I upgraded to these Hunter fans with recessed lighting. I love the way they look. The brushed nickel matched my other finishes: door knobs, curtain rods, etc. We installed them on a vaulted ceiling with no issues.

      Bought this online. Was at our front door in 5 days, I believe it was. This is the 2nd time I've ordered merchandise online through Home Depot. Not a single problem. The Hunter fan - Used an electrician friend to do the installation. Took approximately 45 minutes and it was up and running. The chain used to control the speeds is almost totally motionless, even on high. Appearance - What else can I say other than this is one nice looking fan. Every bit as good as the photos Sound - I saw a couple reviews complaining about it's loudness on high. Maybe their installation wasn't as good as mine because mine is VERY quiet on high speed. Air movement - YEAH...it moves a lot of air when on high blowing down when I tested it. I have it on reverse right now and medium is plenty for my 14' x 20' computer room. When summer rolls around this fan is going to be very nice.

      This fan works beautifully
      This looks really nice in our living room and really helps to cool the area without having to use our air conditioner. We had it professionally installed since there wasn't an existing fan in the room. It is super quiet even on high and puts out a good breeze.

      Easy to install. I bought a remote with it and it works great! The remote does not work the blade direction since this fan has a switch on it to switch the direction.

      We installed the fan in our bedroom. When laying in bed and the house is completely quiet, you can hear a tick-tick-tick sound coming from it. It is a little annoying. Also, the face plate on the bottom that is easily visible, has their Hunter advertisement. It makes it look cheap. I would have returned it, if uninstalling wouldn’t cost me more money.
