    Beautiful, neutral fan
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A ceiling fan in our bedroom is an absolute must. Our old fan was horribly outdated so I was excited to get this new white Hunter fan to replace it. I love the streamlined design of this fan. This along with the white color helps the fan fade into the background instead of competing with the rest of the room. Overall the fan was really easy to install although it was much more difficult to line up the screws to attach h the blades than I expected. That is the only reason. I gave this four stars instead of five. It gives off the perfect amount of light to brighter the room and the fan is super quiet when it is running. Overall a fantastic fan.

      I saw some negative reviews on this product, but I have to tell you, I am very satisfied with this fan. It went together fine, just follow instructions. I like the 4 blade design, and the sleek modern look. It is quiet and responds quickly to the remote. The fan is well balanced right out of the box. Runs true and straight with no wobble. I am considering a second one later down the road, and would definitly consider the same fan.

      Don't waste your $!
      I purchased the 1st one and had it professionally installed. Only one light worked and everything else was fine. I had a 2nd opinion from another professional electrician and he verified that there was a defective module, which prevented enough current to the sockets to run both lights. I took it back and Home Depot refunded it, as they ALWAYS do(love those guys)and I reordered another unit. Surely this was a fluke and the 2nd would be a dandy. Not so fast, the 2nd electrician installed the 2nd unit and now the remote is allegedly defective, or possibly the remote server. I'm DONE and going to make an alternate selection. Hunter is supposed to be the best, but alas the Chinese are involved, so typical. Maybe they should have stayed here is the USA. JUNK!

        This fan is quiet and really moves the air around. The light is pretty good. I like that it’s white and blends in with the ceiling. I bought two of these fans to replace two others that had motors that made noise. Good purchase.

        This is a really nice fan. Fairly easy to install. The blade installation is a little tricky. Fan looks great & it’s very quiet. Would definitely recommend this fan.

          It’s nice, but the Dempsey Low Profile fan is nicer. The light is not as bright as I imagined and it flickers sometimes. To make the light brighter you need to dim down and up. Sometimes the remote needs to be clicked a few times before the light turns on. None of these issues with the Dempsey fan. I’ve had it for a week.

            Dimmer is annoying
            If I hadn't been in a time crunch, I would have taken this fan back and gotten a different one. The fan part is great - it's the light that makes me crazy. This has one of those lights where the dimmer is on a "loop" so if you want to dim it, you have to make it bright first and then it will start dimming. Very annoying.

              Unit rubbed making loud sound and did not find out until wired. Had to return to the store and buy a different fan. Delivery process was good. Actual product defective. Hunter on the no buy list.

              Good looking. Nice quality and quiet. Light had to have a factory reset because it was automatically dimming on its own. Had to call customer service to resolve. Was easy fix.

              Poor production
              Went to change to a longer down rod and found the original one to have loc-tite installed on the threads!!! After I settled with the short down rod I had major issues pairing 2 fans on switch/remote. I cannot continue to recommend clients get these fans with these types of issues. Otherwise the fan looks and works fine..

                This fan was overall easy to install, but attaching the fan blades remains a significant challenge. There are little rubber cushions that help hold the blade during assembly and provide additional cushioning to eliminate noise. Hunter needs to provide longer screws with tapered ends to better help find the holes an ease installation. Also need longer screws to attach the remote holder to the wall switch plate, I had to go back to HD to purchase longer screws. It has been installed about a month and seems to do the job in the bedroom, and we do like the appearance. This is the third Hunter fan I have installed, all have the same difficulties with blade attachment.

                Great look that blends with a white celing, while not having to hang down too much. Great speed and very silent at speed 2; speed 3 because of the breeze there is some whooshing noise, not the humming of motor; speed 1 very slight humming, slightly noticeable unless that is all you are focused on.

                Quiet and went together well. Could have used more help from hunter how to install with legacy switches. Even the help line couldn’t help, especially on weekends.

                Pain in the a** to put up but the finished product is worth it. Do yourself a favor and put the fan blades on before you put it up. Otherwise you need someone on another ladder to help. Took 3 hours, mostly due to adding a longer extension.

                This fan comes with a perma-lock downrod. This is to help prevent wobbling and instability in the fan which can lead to the fan becoming damaged. we're sorry to hear you have returned the fan, however if you need assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at customercare@hunterfan.com for help! ~Kevin HunterFans

                  The fan is good looking, quiet and powerful. The installation was pretty simple and I was initially vey pleased. I bought 3 of these less than two years ago and the remote module on 2 of the fans have already gone out. I had to remove the module and use the wall switches, so the remote controls are obsolete. I would expect them to last longer than this and the replacement modules are not cheap and no telling how long they will last.

                  You're correct. The warranty only covers the cost of parts for the first year, after which it is the responsibility of the owner to purchase the repair parts themselves if they wish to keep using the same fan. We would be happy to assist you with finding the correct parts to fix your fan! Please direct message us at Support@Hunterfan.zendesk.com so we can help! ~Kevin HunterFans
