FuturistFuturist: Last year we bought a new house and the bedroom we wanted to use as ours had a low, 7-foot ceiling. Despite that, we love having a ceiling fan, so looked around for a low profile fan. This Hunter fan, in silver, does a great job of keeping us cool and saving on air conditioning.
I must admit, it it was a little unnerving having the fan whirling away just above my head, but as I knew it wouldn't hit me, I eventually forgot about it.
I do find the remote a little annoying at times but that's because the fan's hooked up to a light switch. If the light switch is off, then the remote doesn't work. That's not the fault of the remote, but it can be annoying, especially as the remote is on the other side of the room, near my bedside.

toybiztoybiz: The media could not be loaded. This is my 3rd ceiling fan install so it went fairly smoothly. The instructions were clear to me, not sure what others were stating that the instructions weren't clear. First one took me about an hour including setting up the ladder and tools, the second one about 45 minutes all in.
Not much to report other than the following:
Pros: quiet on speed 1 , slight wobble at max speed. Moves an average amount of air but not too much for both a 12 x 10 and 16 x 10 bedroom.
Does appear to recall the last setting if the wall light power switch is turned off.
Cons: no timer for fan or light. Silver finish on the fan blades scratches very easily.

K.D: There is a small low hum but it's not annoying at all. The fan moves a ton of air and it looks great!

MC: First attraction: The design, Second: Minimal noise, and Third: The light is bright. I first wondered the same thing as other reviewer why the light is not bright enough, but took me a couple hours to google for way to adjust the brightness, I'm stumbled on a reviewer who found the solution by press and hold the light button, it will change the level of brightness. So, manufacturer please include a full and clear instruction to operate this fan. Overall it function well so far. will have to see how long it'll last.

Tina Plumley: I installed this fan on Easter weekend and we are now approaching Christmas. My main concern in choosing a fan was the potential noise because I prefer a silent room to sleep in. This fan is great. There is obviously air noise if it's turned up high, but lowering it at night keeps the air moving enough to feel it and reduces the noise significantly. Every now and then there is a clicking that happens that is caused from the wires for the light hitting the blades. I just need to open it up and secure them out of the way which I haven't done. The light isn't super bright so beware if you are wanting that. I am a little concerned about how to replace the donut looking light bulb when it's time, but not enough to research it yet. The installation was easy peasy once I replaced the electrical box to be fan supported (replacing the box is a different story.....check into that before you tear things apart!) I would recommend this fan to anyone!

trrmttrrmt: I finally found a fan I like! Love the style, the size, and the light, actually. I was concerned when I read the reviews indicating the light was too dim but, as you can see, it is perfectly bright for this room (about 12x14 ft). It works really well, and it’s very quiet at at full speed. The remote and its buttons are a bit unpredictable though and, on the slow fan setting, it makes this clicking noise that I truly hope we can fix because that’s our preferred setting . I’ll post an update once we do fix it (or don’t).
REVISED: The clicking sound fixed itself. We installed a second fan (52 in) in our family room where it does not look as bright, but it still is an excellent, modern, low profile fan

Owen Less: The fan is quiet enough to watch TV while it's going and creates a nice breeze. The light works well and can be dimmed which is helpful

Allan: The fan is impressive, and as a Mechanical Engineeer wants to provide my version on the pros and cons.
The pros:
- The reliable, highly respected by customers, the HUNTER brand;
- Low profile, modern and sleek design by the US engineers (pros), but manufactured in China (cons);
- Price is attractive (I bought by promotion, the Amazon adjusted all my three purshased fans to the promotion price), the competitors are more expensive;
- Reversible rotation by pressing the button (more than 3s on fan logo) on the remote control;
- Reversible blades. One colour from the one side of the blades and another colour (depends on model) from the backside of blades;
- Three speeds, easily changeable by the remote control;
- The remote control isn't bulky and have the right small size;
- The beep option (can be swithched off) can be helpful for seniors to confirm switch off/on fan/light, reduce&increase speeds/reverse rotation etc.;
- The LED lamp is amazing, it was designed specifically by the Hunter engineers. As a result it's a high quality, fits very well, and it's dimmable. But in the case of replacement, you have to buy/find from the Hunter company...

JoshJosh: The media could not be loaded. I honestly don’t know what everyone is on about. Folks saying the light is to bright / dim, or the remote beeps, or that it’s to noisy, or that it wobbles… the instructions explain how to adjust / correct all of these issues with the remote. That said, it did take a while to sort out the balancing and it still has a sight shimmy at the highest fan speed but it’s barely noticeable. And yeah, the remote needs to be reasonably close to the fan for it to work. Anything more than 8 feet away and it doesn’t work. But it’s a fan meant for a small space so the remote makes complete sense. And for the person that rate 1 star because “it’s heavy”, are you kidding me? Of course it’s heavy.
It’s a great fan. Elegant styling, easy to install, and simple to use. Highly recommend. In fact, I might buy another one for a 2nd small bedroom. I tried to show the light dimming using the remote but it doesn’t come through very well in the video. Let me assure you, the remote works perfectly.
After installation there can be a slight smell of burning plastic and the motor housing becomes warm to the touch. I spoke with Hunter...

Tim Troopie: Looks great on the ceiling. Motor is whisper quiet. I had an electrician install this so I cant comment on installation. I love the fan!
