Customer Reviews for Hunter Trimaran 52 in. Indoor/Outdoor Fresh White Ceiling Fan with Wall Switch For Patios or Bedrooms

I needed a durable outdoor fan that could withstand the elements, maintain the sturdiness of the blades, and provide powerful airflow. After extensive research and consideration of various brands, I settled on this fan based on its overall reviews, including a detailed YouTube review from a restaurant using the same model, as well as its price point. Before purchasing this fan do your homework, read what comes with the fan, and make sure it will meet your needs. This fan does not have a light, does not have a remote control and the blade reverse switch is not easily accessible. What this fan is, is a fan that looks very nice, will withstand the elements, operates by a wall switch, and it moves a lot of air, period. Installation was straightforward, albeit slightly longer than typical indoor fans due to the additional steps involving rubber gaskets for protection. However, there is not a lot of additional time involved and everything goes together very well. Take your time, be patient, and follow the instructions. One minor inconvenience noted by another review is the need to remove the bottom cover (secured by four small screws) to access the blade reversal switch. While this may be an annoyance for some, it's of zero concern for me as I cannot think of a time where I would need to reverse the blade movement in my location. My primary focus is on maximizing airflow outdoors. Overall, this fan has exceeded all my expectations. I installed two of these fans on my covered patio and I am very happy with the outcome. Not only do the fans look nice, but they also enhance the comfort and enjoyment of my outdoor living space. I highly recommend this fan for anyone's outdoor living area.

Fan is easy to install. The wall switch make this fan kit a good option for location that are hard to access (vaulted ceiling’s, etc) compared to the traditional pull chain to adjust the fan speed.

The Hunter Trimaran Outdoor/Indoor ceiling fan was easy to assemble. All of the parts were packaged separately and clearly labeled, which made the assembly process very easy. I have thirteen (13) ceiling fans in my home. Four (4) of the ceiling fans (all Hampton Bay fans) have been replaced with Hunter fans. The remaining nine (9) (Hampton Bay) fans will also be replaced with Hunter fans (eventually). The only ceiling fans that I install in my home are Hunter fans. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for making such a dependable ceiling fan.

This fan was hung three days ago on a porch that has direct exposure to sea breezes coming off of West Galveston Bay. So far there is no noticeable rust or corrosion.

We bought 3 of these fans for our barn loft and set them all up on the same switch. They are super quiet and move a good amount of air. The only thing I noticed that I wish were a little different is that the speed change between 1 and 2 doesn't change very much. 2 to 3 is a much bigger jump. They are the perfect touch and worth every penny.

Easy to install outdoor ceiling fan! We installed this fan in grey at our beach house a month ago in our screened in porch since it is made to handle sea air. It's sleek and quite and doesn't show dirt like a white outdoor fan does. It certainly moves air for those summer days even on lower speeds and should be a snap to wipe down when needed. It gives the porch are a more modern look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hunter makes excellent ceiling fans, so I had high expectations for the Hunter Trimaran Outdoor ceiling fan, and, aside from the exception of some difficult installation with the indoor switch, all my expectations were exceeded. It looks and functions flawlessly, and it is made to last. First, the fan looks beautiful. The lines are clean, which is perfect for my modern sensibilities. It has three angular blades and a simple circular body. It is spare and utilitarian, and makes a statement of class without being gaudy or drawing undue attention. The white is uniform and pristine, and without blemish. Functionally it is sound. I have it in a 60 inch down rod and it is steady and quiet. It doesn’t vibrate or dance, but hangs perpendicular as though perfectly weighted. It produces an ample downdraft at each of its three levels. It should be noted that there aren’t any hanging chains or other methods to control the power apart from the in wall dial that replaced my old switch. As for the installation itself, there is where I had the most problems, though most of those were because I was hanging it from a 15 foot ceiling using a ladder, which certainly complicated the matter. All in all, frim flipping the breaker off, mounting it, and popping the breaker back in again it took my about and hour and 20 minutes. This was far longer than I expected, but most of the excess time was due to the height at which I was working. The three issues I had with the fan itself was, while I am happy with the weather sealing, it did make it more difficult to find the screw holes on the receptacles to mount the top plate. While a bit frustrating at the time, I think this is well worth it as it’s another line of safety against moisture and to prevent rattle. I would have preferred a longer grounding wire on the mounting bracket, as it made it very difficult was so little slack to work with. The biggest issue I had was with the indoor control switch (pictured). For some reason the ground wire is aligned with the screw that holds the switch to the receptacle. And because this is the case, it made it impossible to seat flush with the wall. I’m not sure if this a design flaw, or an outdated socket in my house, but it would make more sense to me if the ground wire were placed somewhere off the back so as to not get in the way. Those minor quibbles aside, I really do love this fan for its look and sturdy, quiet function, and smart, safe design. I do recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this fan outside on my patio yesterday and am pleased with its performance and design. The installation went relatively smoothly. Some of the initial installation steps combined multiple steps into one image, which was not ideal. However, it’s not overly complicated; you just have to look at the installed picture and take a guess.

Beautiful addition to room. Quiet and effective.

Part was missing in box and has not been replaced

Look great on our porches. We have not used them yet but seem steady.

Our parents have this fan and after seeing how well it kept the bugs away from the eating area, we decided to get one of our own. It was a great purchase. The fan was easy to install and looks great on our patio.

Easy installation, good design and performance. Good quality with excellent materials of construction.

Installed 2 Hunter Trimaran fan outdoor from a sloped 20 ft ceiling using 60 in. downrods. I do love the simple clean look and am very pleased with how stable and powerful they are. Using only one of the wall switches for the 2 fans worked fine.

Packaging and instructions are good. Delivery of installation parts, non-existent.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Installed 4 of these. Easy to follow instructions. They work perfect and the air circulation is double of the fans we replaced. Great quality product.

The fan is quiet and modern looking. We replaced our 15 year old Hunter fans. They are supposed to be rust proof - only time will tell.

Fan worked as advertised, very stylish and quiet running. Very satisfied with our purchase.

I wanted very much to like to fan, then found out you have to take the fan housing apart to reverse the directions of the blades to go with the appropriate weather/season. This is a really dumb design - most fans have either a pull string or a remote control. This is going in a loft of a barn, way up high. Not a great design.

Bought two of these these and installed under a covered patio and added the Hunter 3 speed remote (sold separately at Home Depot). They are incredibly quiet and stable and move air better than the five blade fans I replaced. Assembly was also simple with clear instructions.

Looks good, runs well.

It’s perfect for our space

Easy to install in under an hour. Works great.
