Spectacular5
Oh, man: So this fan comes in one, 40lb box and you will have to assemble it. I would rate the assembly as a bit harder than average, but (in my opinion) the reason for this is because it is very, very well made (and heavy).

After assembly you will have what I feel to be the most well made, attractive, sturdy, and quiet (except for wind noise which... what'cha gonna do?) fan on the market. This is a great buy and works great as well as being much cheaper than one that I purchased from Restoration Hardware.

UPDATE (4/28/09): I have used this fan pretty much every day since my original review in 2007 and I still have no issues. One good thing I have found is that the front "screen" is removable and makes cleaning the blades very easy.

Big beauties work hard and run cool and QUIET!5
Large, beautiful, QUIET and effective. We love the soft background drone of a great fan. Reminds me of being a kid in the 1950's. We use these to cut down on air conditioning costs: They pay for themselves if they cut just a couple AC weeks out of your summer, so every other use of them is a free ride. For example, they are vital for canning season, to help the hood and the windows to push out the heat and humidity and to pull in cooler outside air. We even set one up in front of the treadmill to use year 'round for indoor jogging comfort.

This is a large, heavy-duty home-use fan - I bought two and also use a couple Hunter table fans. These pedestal fans are beautiful. It is a brushed nickel finish, but very finely done so it is nearly a satin polish appearance instead of the crude job typical of brushed nickel. It has a cast iron base plate weight (ultra-stable and zero wobble) and quite a few pieces for the assembly. Assembly was very easy (regardless what the nut-jobs claim), excepting for just one aspect: I had a devil of a time getting the nickle base shroud to thread on over the iron base plate on both fans and the replacement fan. I complained to Hunter about it. This is just a machining alignment problem - easy to fix at the factory, if they only try.

One of the two fans failed to oscillate properly, but Hunter Fan Company promptly sent me a free replacement, so I have two great pedestal fans for very little trouble. Far and away my best customer service experience of the last several years.

Operation has been faultless over the last fourteen months with almost 100% operation during the hot months and limited winter use. Go get 'em!!!

First order broken, but company was very helpful in getting a replacement4
The first time we got this item the band around the fan (I believe the safety feature) wouldn't fit because part of the fan was bent. We contacted the company and they immediately sent us a replacement fan. While it was a hassle, the fan works nicely. The lowest setting you can't even hear when on. But the higher the setting, the more noise it makes. I still love it.

Great quiet fan with innocuous looks5
I bought this fan for my living room. I wanted something that would blend into the ceiling because the other colors and lights in the living room were already "obvious". I'm using this with the white side of the blades down and a 3-speed in-wall control with no light kit and no chains hanging down from the fan.

The fan is fantastic--I've had it for about 4 months and it's completely silent, even on the high setting. It has no hint of wobble and mounts relatively close to the ceiling, unlike some other fans that have a bit more of a drop rod.

I bought 5 new ceiling fans this year, so I have something to compare this too and I love this fan, especially for the low price.

Great Fan5
I bought this fan because I already have one of this model and like it.Its simple,trouble free,easy to install and moves air.If thats what you want,not a lot of extras,this is the fan for you.

Great fan, great price5
Great fan - very quiet but really moves the air. Amazon price was half(!!) that of that major retailer, H*** De***.

Customer Reviews

Black Fan3
Very sturdy heavy construction but this fan is not all that quiet. It gives a lot of air though. I just find it big, bulky and kind of sounds like a distant airplane. I have another chrome fan not of this brand that I enjoy more and have actually seen it in movies. This black/chrome art deco fan is going to my son and I'll use the better one for my living room. It's also a bit pricey.

5 stars for what it really is5
This fan gets 5 stars for styling. It's beautiful! It is also a very nice fan. Due to it's blade size though, when you are running this on high, you are going to get some wind noise from the blades because they are running at a very high speed. Oscillation is smooth with no jumpy spots. For the money, you could by 5 fans that do exactly what this one does, but not with this styling.

Love this fan!5
This fan is not only stylish and beautiful, it is powerful and quiet, too. I am very happy with this purchase!

I love this fan!4
I purchased this fan about a month ago and I have been very pleased with the purchase. I live in a small apt. and liked the portability feature. Be aware that the housing is not metal it is plastic. The fan is whisper quiet on the lowest setting, but louder on the higher settings, but it's still within an acceptable range. I was concerned about the stability of the crescent style base, but it has not been a problem. I love the fun design. You can't go wrong with this fan.

Customer Reviews

beautiful, but too fast and loud3
I was hoping this smaller sized Hunter tabletop fan would be quieter than some of the reviews for the 12", so I took a chance and ordered it. It's definitely beautiful, built like a tank, and adds to the decor. But even the lowest setting feels like a wind tunnel! The noise is too loud, even from across the room, to sleep. There is very little difference between settings 1, 2 and 3 - all are far too fast. Disappointed, because it is a lovely design.

Hunter 10" Millenium Fan3
nice fan, good size, but there are some downsides, 1 the geniuses at hunter forgot to oil the front bearing so it makes a nice screach when it runs, but im sure i got one that slipped by, and 2 yes its kinda loud but doesnt move a ton of air, all in all i might recommend it to someone

Customer Reviews

Noisy even at low speed, and leaves stains on varnished wood2
The fan has eight black vinyl or rubber feet, and they have left black stains on an (expensive) varnished cherry wood furniture. Pretty much ruined the piece. It almost looks like a chemical reaction since the furniture surface is still good to the touch, but the marks are very visible. I think the plasticizer and carbon black in the vinyl feet has leached out. I contacted Hunter and they said the feet are designed to support the fan, and I should contact the furniture maker. Duh. Make sure you put a mat between the fan and good furniture.
The fan is too noisy at its lowest speed and it could use a lower setting.

Addendum: After serveral months of limited use the fan now creaks and squeaks while it is oscillating. It really is a poor quality, noisy fan.

Not your average table fan...4
Pros:
Built like a tank

High quality switch on base, not fan.

Cons:
Fairly noisy on all but the lowest setting. Wind noise, not any kind of mechanical noise. Probably normal for a fan this size.

While the fan tilts, it only tilts upward. It doesn't tilt downward so if you want to put it on a high shelf the best angle you get is straight out.



Beautiful performance5
This fan oscillates beautifully and noiselessly, with great air movement. Beautiful design, as well. Motor is silent, no unnecessary noise while in movement. Fan is heavy, which lends to nice performance. Have always had good luck with Hunter fans. This one is no different.

Customer Reviews

ok. maybe i'm picky3
I agree with the other reviewer. it's a nice looking fan, forty bucks cheaper AND measurably quieter than the one at restoration hardware. nice deal. one little thing, though. there's a click-click at a certain point on the rotation. every time it hits that point--click-click. i returned one and replaced it with another, got it home and same thing--click-click. even at the same point on the turn. it's like a slow steady drip on a faucet. some people can ignore it. me...it drives me crazy.

UPDATE -- 5 STARS -- tried yet another much more expensive fan that was too loud, returned it, bought THIRD Hunter Fan from LNT, same problem--click-click, was done with Hunter, shot off a quick email on their website just to let them know of the defect, turns out they have pretty decent customer service, sent me another fan, NO CLICKS, at least not in the time that i wd have normally started hearing clicks. if you don't hear from me again, i'm happy and you can consider this fan, in my opinion, stylish, the quietest of the many I've tried, and at a good price.

I'm a big fan5
I'm thrilled with this metal fan from Hunter, all the more so when I compare it to other small- to medium-sized oscillating fans. The construction is sturdier and the appearance is appealing and clean. While not totally silent, the "whispering" motor is not bothersome. Even on the first (of three) speeds, the fan is effective. In short, I'm delighted. Hurray for Hunter.

Strong, stable, & silent5
This fan functions well at all three speeds: ocean breeze, tropical storm, and hurricane. I've run this fan 24/7 for several months and continue to be extremely pleased with its durability. It sits on the edge of a shelf, very sturdy, stable, and nostalgically fashionable. While oscillating a full 180 degrees or shooting a straight stream of cooled air, it continues to run quietly. Like every other oscillating fan I've owned, this fan will click when it reaches the end of its oscillation cycle if the switch is not completely engaged: simple solution = finish pushing/pulling switch. :) I strongly recommend Hunter's 12-inch table-top fan.
