   I love Hunter fans! I replaced 2 bedroom brand X fans with this fan. Even on high, all you hear is a slight wind sound. They are perfect and beautiful! Very satisfied with the whole experience 🙂

   I’ll start by saying I’ve installed 6 Hunter fans over the last 10 years and I’m a big fan (no pun intended) of the brand. I’m a tad disappointed in this specific fan though and that’s unfortunate.PROS:This fan is really attractive and looks very nice. I have it in an office that has similar color dark wood blinds and desk and it matches so nicely. The cream colored light fixture is nice and the light isn’t overbearing. The flush mount and total height from ceiling works great with standard height ceilings which is another reason I wanted this model. I found the installation straight forward and easy with no issues. This was an easier install with the ceiling bracket provided than other Hunter fans I’ve done in the past with the hook style connect and mount.CONS:Again this isn’t my 1st Hunter fan install so I was disappointed that the fan has a low buzz/hum immediately upon powering on (that indicates it’s not a momentum noise), and also has about a 1/2″ or so wobble on the high-speed only. The middle and low speeds don’t have the wobble issue. So all signs of a buzzing noise or wobble initially point to ‘installer error.’ All troubleshooting is, “you didn’t tighten the blades evenly or enough” or “the wiring isn’t installed correctly causing motor noise.” Well I tell you the installation couldn’t have been more straight forward so there weren’t a lot of variables for me. I even proceeded to take the entire fan apart and re-tighten all bolts evenly, checking everything and it didn’t do a thing to improve the wobble or noise. So the last stop is to use the balance kit provided. I moved the clip all around and then in 3″ increments up and down the fan blades and I couldn’t ever get the fan to settle down from wobbling on that high speed. It really made no difference and I spent a bit of time again moving the clip as instructed. My guess is more than 1 blade needs to be balanced in unison and I’ll have to dig up another kit to try that. However then you get into hundreds of possibilities moving the clips around to balance when using multiple clips so not looking forward to that chore. Again, most reading will think “installer error” but I’ve rechecked everything and it’s such a straight forward install (this is a credit to Hunter) and there isn’t much left I can do. Therefore I had to knock a couple of stars off because being a brand new fan, and having Hunter fans in the past, the functionality should be more aligned with ‘Whisper-quiet’ as advertised and there should be no wobble at high-speed. I suspect the way the motor hangs in the mount with the rubber insulator is suspect but there isn’t any adjustment I can make as it’s seated properly.Overall the price was good on the fan and I still really like the way it looks. I mostly only run the fan on low and medium speeds so the wobble on high probably won’t be enough of an issue for me to care. I also usually have music or other sound playing in the background to cover up the slight buzz/hum from the motor so that shouldn’t prove to be that bad either. It is disappointing though because all my Hunter fans have been super duper quiet, so I’m not sure why this one buzzes a little.

   This fan does not make a statement and that is exactly what I wanted. It mostly just blends into the ceiling. The paint is fairly uniform shade of white across the housing and blades, although the blades have less sheen. The glass light cover is uniform in shade and neutral in color. There is a small gap between the top of the housing and the ceiling that casts a shadow, but it isn’t bad. The two included LED light bulbs are 800 lumens, 9W, and soft white (3000K) in color.On the lowest setting, it is nearly silent. There is no AC motor hum and only the slightest of bearing noise, making it great for nighttime use in the bedroom. Even on higher settings, the motor hum is nearly inaudible.Installation wasn’t as easy as other fans, including older model Hunter fans, that I’ve installed. The most difficult part was getting my wiring connections back up into the ceiling box. When the motor was sitting in the cradle of the ceiling mount, there wasn’t much room to get my hand in there to push the wires and caps through the small opening in the mount. If I held the mount off to the side by hand, a ground wire would pull free. Also, the side pull chain will get tangled in the plastic washer for the light shade as you are almost done tightening it. On the plus side, all of the parts came well organized and they included a bag of extra bolts.Speaking of chains, the pull action on the center chain controlling the light was nice and smooth. The same cannot be said of the side chain controlling the fan speed, especially when compared to older Hunter fans I’ve owned.Had installation of this fan been easier, it would have been 5 stars. I recommend it, but just be prepared for a little frustration.

   This fan replaced an older fan that stopped working after decades of service. I bought it online because it was the size, color, and style I wanted. I wanted a flush-mount fan with a lamp and no remote.The blade shape and the frosted bowl lamp are beautiful. This style would fit a traditional to modern style room. Love it!

   Looks great, very easy to install – what more can you ask? The finish is fantastic and unlike most blades, both sides are very attractive. One side seemed to have a touch of gray in it, which works great with our furniture. The end result was a very sleek look with a tight flush mount. (I did not use the included light kit.) Fan speed seems to be a little slower than older fans, with the high speed on this fan virtually the same as medium on the older fans, but not an issue for us since high speed on the older fans was way too fast (and noisy).I installed 2 of these and have ordered 2 more. Since I install them myself, I pay particular attention to ease of installation. Instructions are clear and the motor used is much lighter than older fans that I’ve installed. I also like that the motor housing is separated from the motor itself, making it much less clumsy to handle. Plus, the bracket design makes hanging the motor for wiring very easy. These are important factors when up on a step ladder. A couple of tips: your wiring housing must be level, assuming you are mounting the bracket to the housing. My first installation was to a housing that wasn’t perfectly level and had to uninstall the fan and use the included wood screws to mount to the stud. The fan mount is square and flat vs. the traditional round ball. Also, make sure you push the wires well up into the bracket area. Another disassembly was required due to the spinning motor rubbing against a wire causing a slight noise.

   This fan is steady as a rock! I felt it was easy to install. I like the lamp shade so you don’t see the bulbs.
