Customer Reviews

Wonderful Fan5
Energy Star rated, which I view as a big plus. The florescent light fully lights my bedroom and is not what I would consider "harsh" light. The remote control is fantastic, especially when going to bed because I do not have to get up to turn off the lights. The fan is extremely quiet and smooth ... I have yet to hear the fixture shake. Not only is the fan extremely functional, but it is pretty stylish, as well.

Great fan but change the wireless frequency during install.5
We had our electrician install two of these fans: one in my office and one in the master bedroom. The fan locations are on opposite ends of our house. As expected they work great. However, much to my surprise, each handheld remote unit controlled both fans. Turning one fan on resulted in both going on. A quick call to Hunter customer service confirmed my suspicion: all fans are shipped on the exact same frequency from the factory. "Just change the frequency on one fan" the support person said. The problem is changing frequencies requires removing the fan from its ceiling mount. Luckily our electrician had some free time the next day to do the change. Problem fixed. Well sort of. My neighbor has the exact some fan. Occasionally, when he turns on his fan our fan goes on. Guess our electrician needs to make one more stop at our house!

Great Fan4
Installed this fan in our family room. Motor is quiet and provides a nice amount of airflow. The 22w light is a bit cold and harsh like most fluorescent lights so I don't really use it much. It's packaged with a mounting rod so you can choose to mount it from around 4 inches from the ceiling to about a foot away. Good fan, nice design, nice price.
