Top quality, quiet ceiling fan
I purchased this model to replace an old ceiling fan in the master bedroom that had its motor burn out after 20+ years of operation. It was relatively easy to install, but did represent a bit of a challenge to install on a vaulted ceiling & at an angle because of the size & weight.........nothing that can't be overcome, but it is helpful to have a second person available to hold or steady the unit on the ladder while making the electrical connections. Directions are easy to follow & installation can be completed in an afternoon. It is a beautiful fan & is extremely quiet in operation, probably the overriding reason to purchase a Hunter fan such as this. The price on Amazon was far more reasonable than any retail store location that I could identify.
Not the Hunter fans I know!
I have 6 Hunter fans in my home from building it 8 years ago. Recently I added 2 upstairs rooms and tried to find Hunter fans that take 4 60 watt standard base bulbs. GOOD LUCK! THESE FANS SUCK! The 4 40 watt bulbs barely put off any light. I like my rooms bright not like I'm living in the 1800's and the fan speed sucks. On these fans high speed is equal to my old Hunter fans second speed. and forget about using slow speed you might as well have your dog panting in the room it will produce more airflow!
I wish I'd chosen this model 3 fans ago. Quiet, great installation, though soft brass screws are a bad idea
This is the 4th ceiling fan I've purchased in the last few months for the renovation of our 1920's DC rowhouse, and I only wish I had decided on this model sooner -- it would have saved me a lot of time and hassle and money on buying a few different and usually cheaper models that have not worked out nearly as well.
We first bought two fans together at Lowe's (Hampton Bay I think?) for a bedroom and a sleeping porch and I was totally dismayed at how terrible their installation was designed. They depended on the small base cover -- which is almost the size of the electrical box/mount in the ceiling itself -- mounting flush on the ceiling to keep them from wobbling, rather than the way these Hunter fans mount: with a wide substantial bracket spanning the box mount and screwing down hard to the ceiling over the box. That way, the cover is merely decorative, and the fan is securely fastened to a hearty bracket that will not move.
This model has the most sturdy mount...
