Blows OK amount of air, had 2 since 2016 and 2 since 2019, not the best fan in the world.

Okay fans.
These fans aren't really the best, I have 4 of these one from 2015 in bronze, one from 2016 in bronze, one and white from 2019, and one in brushed nickel from 2019, the 2 bronze ones are the five-minute versions that suck, because they are good for a while, then the blades sag, and then slow down, the other 2 are good, they are NOT the five-minute versions and blow good amounts of air without any problems. DO NOT BUY THE FIVE-MINUTE VERSION, BUY THE CURRENT NON FIVE-MINUTE VERSION.

Reasonable Price and Easy to Install
Would RecommendI purchased this Hunter fan to replace one in my house that the light kit burned out on after 10 years. The LED lights on this unit make a huge difference compared to the previous model that had had candelabra bulbs. I am an amateur and was able to remove the old fan and install this one in about an hour.

Lasted 5 years, but beware of the light kit.
Would Not RecommendOverall liked the fan. It was a good looking fan, quiet and it lasted a little over 5 years. (January 2015 to July 2020) However the fan speeds never worked quite right. You would click on 1st or 2nd speed and sometimes it would just stop. Of course sometimes it worked fine. Last week the light fixture made a loud pop and quit working. Fan is still fine, but after reading the Fan Kit reviews I'll be replacing the entire fan. I guess when you pro-rate it at $90 over the course of 5.5 years...
Great replacement.
Would RecommendZero Issues. Replaced a 22 year old living room fan in a 24 x 20 ft room. Great air mover. SImple to install as a replacement. Beautiful, quiet, and perfectly balanced.
Fan is ok.
Fan and light works ok. Easy to install. Too much motor hum for a Hunter ceiling fan. Could be quieter. Balance is good. I probably will not buy another Hunter.
Bright light for my office area
Would RecommendI wanted a fan that would bring more light in my office space. This product does very well. It is very good for a small space.

Great fan for a smaller room that looks great.
Would RecommendThis is the second fan of this size and style that are hunter for some smaller bedrooms. To start with hunter has been around awhile and have a good reputation for quality fans so i felt comfortable buying this fan. I got the fan home and unboxed flipped through the directions and cut the power to the room. The installation was super easy and all the parts went together as they should. Fan works great and is wired to separate switches for fan and light function which is always nice for individua...

Good Fan, but Bad Light Fixture
Would Not RecommendI installed this fan a couple years ago in our kitchen. About a month ago when my wife turned on the light fixture from the wall, all the lights flashed and a loud bang came from the fixture and then nothing. All 3 lights were blown and the three fixtures were all black and cracked as shown in the pictures. I searched high and low for a replacement light fixture, but could not find one. The fan performed great, but we used this fixture as the primary light in our breakfast nook. I hate to r...

Easy install!
Would RecommendI bought 2 Hunter fans for the spare bedrooms in my home. I am currently in the process of renting out my house and in Texas, ceiling fans are a must. I had always heard of nightmare-ish stories regarding installing fans so i was a little apprehensive. Once i got everything out of the box, the process was smooth. The first fan took about 45 minutes. The second one took around 20 minutes. For the price and effort, this was overall a great purchase!

Faulty light assembly
Would Not RecommendI purchased 3 of these fans about two years ago. Within that time the light assembly has shorted out on all three fans. I have always used hunter fans but apparently their quality control has gone down hill.
