Hunter Ceiling Fan Reviews

I love this fan!! It moves a lot of air on high setting which is exactly what we wanted above our bed. Easy to install but really heavy. Everyone that sees it just loves it.

The Stealth is fairly expensive, but ours came from the Amazon Warehouse in "like new" condition for less than half the regular price. It did not appear to have been opened. After installation, we found that after a few turns it did not work. We had the option of returning it to Amazon as the Casablanca tech suggested when he heard that it was making a clicking sound. ("That's not right!") The price was too good to give up that easily. Taking the fan down, we discovered that the receiver had a wire attached to its side by a glob of clear silicon that had let go. When the fan turned, it evidently tugged on and unseated the wire. The clicking sound came from the wire dragging across the motor housing. Casablanca sent a new receiver immediately and all works perfectly now. For my husband, having to put the fan up twice was definitely not a plus, but the solution to the problem was relatively easy. I would just suggest checking that the receiver wire is stable during installation to avoid our experience. This assembly detail or the assembler needs to be attended to by Casablanca as I've read of receiver replacements several times now. That's a silly flaw that is costing them way too much! Six speeds in forward and six more in reverse gives you quite a range of air motion to choose from. This thing can really move some air. Better yet, the DC motor makes this version of the Stealth extremely cost effective. With our typical usage, it should run us less than $20…

The best fan ever made! I have two of them and they move more air, are very quiet and with proper care (easy) last longer than I live.Warning! Just because Hunter hit a grand slam with this design doesn't mean that their other fans are good. The residential fans they make are no better quality than Hampton Bay/ Harbor Breeze,But their install design is bar none the WORST.Buy a Hunter, make it a cast iron! If you want a design other than cast iron, get anything BUT hunter! Hope this helps.

We bought this Monte Carlo Centrifica to replace a builder installed fan in our kitchen which didn't match anything, was an eyesore and mainly collected dust. Since most of our appliances are stainless steel --- and since the blades are spring loaded and compact inward when the fan is off --- this was an excellent choice.PROS:This is a great looking fan that is entertaining to watch, folds compactly when turned off and gives a designer touch to our high ceiling kitchen. The fan is well built, quiet, smart-looking and very entertaining. The motor and bearings are top quality. The fan is completely silent and operates flawlessly. The Halogen downlight and frosted downlight dome put out very attractive lighting.CONS:The fan is very pricey --- especially when you consider that the blades are not stainless steel or aluminum, but instead are made of plywood which are painted silver. The instructions are not completely clear and the fan requires a 100w specialty halogen bulb that comes with the unit but must be very carefully handled since oil from your hands could make the bulb explode when turned on. If you are replacing an existing fan, your existing wall switches may have to be disconnected since this unit uses a remote powered by a specialty A23 12v alkaline battery not available at your local convenience store.CONCLUSION:If you don't mind the price, and are looking for something different, that will get lots of compliments, provide great entertainment, and looks good in a stainless…

This fan will blow your wig off!I was very excited the first time I cranked this one up during the 100 degree weather this summer.Hunter has the quality that no one else can match.

Between my parents and I, we've been buying these Classic Hunter fans for over 50 years. The fans run 24/7. The original ones installed in 1959 are still working fine and totally quiet. Of 3 purchased in the middle 90's 2 have been replaced after 5 and 10 years respectively. The last of the 3 is now exhibiting signs of motor noise. Bearings are fine, balance is fine but the motor is noisy. That's what happened on the previous 2 as well.I'm buying another one as it needs to match a second one in the room. For $300, I can live with a 10 year life. However, anything shorter (like the 5 years above) and I may swap out the fans for another manufacturer's. We also have 3 cheapo, non Hunter, fans, 2 on an outside porch and 1 in a small office. These fans run 24/7 and are totally quiet after 17 years. So, I'm buying style, not reliability in the case of Hunter.

Shipped fine by United Parcel Service... Ups,has always been reliable. The fan looks great and functions well. The only reason for a 4 vs 5 is a slight noise... I had it installed,so could be an install problem. I did notice what looked like a little rubber mount left out.

I had this same fan installed in my lake house and wanted another for my home. It's a great design and value and I saved $100 ordering from Amazon!!!

Other reviews said they were disappointed because the blades are plastic. I was not. What disappointed me was when I turned it on. It changed it's entire look. It looks so small and it lost that contemporary flare. Then I turned on the light and it is horrible. It is not a spot light. It lights the room and glares in your eyes. I hate it. I don't turn the light on. I don't want to turn the fan on. I am thinking of moving it to our bathroom because it is too expensive to throw out.

Purchased this fan for our family room and it is very nice looking and works great. This fan would have gotten 5 stars but I had to have the first one replaced by the manufacturer (with Amazons help). Overall we are very pleased with this purchase.

This is a beautiful addition to my dining room. With the upper and lower lights on, it does not give off a garish bright light...but a soft glow for pleasant dining. With just the top light lit, it makes an atmosphere for intimate conversations over a glass or two of wine. This is more than a ceiling fan...it is an elegant centerpiece.The motor makes no sound whatsoever. The remote control is the only means of operating the light, so if your husband is like mine and always loses remotes, may I suggest that you use the kit to install it on your wall rather than the mobile remote kit. I am sure you will be just as thrilled as I am with this fan light. It is worth every penny.

INTRODUCTION:We got this Monte Carlo Airlift fan to replace a builder installed fan that we hated. The old fan was installed in our formal living room and never looked like it belonged there. The style was all wrong--- with huge 54" blades that made the room look smaller --- and the fan lights were exposed and hurt our eyes --- so we rarely turned the lights on.PROS:When we replaced the old fan with the Monte Carlo Airlift, it was very exciting. Suddenly we had a beautiful hanging lamp that fit the style of the formal living room perfectly. You should see the delight and surprise of our guests when they see the beautiful lamp magically transform into a completely silent ceiling fan whenever a ceiling fan is needed. You can reverse the direction of the blades "on the fly" using the included remote control - and when you do - you are entertained with the translucent blades closing and then reopening like a blossoming flower. Very high quality motor and bearings. Completely silent. Overall construction is high quality. The dome lights are four ordinary easy-to-find 15w candelabra or appliance bulbs. All batteries and bulbs are included with initial package.CONS:More difficult to install than an ordinary ceiling fan and the instructions are not completely clear. If you are replacing an existing ceiling fan, your existing fan wall switches may have to be removed - since this fan uses only a remote transmitter powered by an included 23 amp 12v battery you won't be able…

I bought 4 new Hunter outdoor fans to replace 4, 25 year old, Hunter outdoor fans (which were running fine but the outer casings had corroded). I live in Florida, close to the Gulf of Mexico. The new fans were surprisingly, nearly identical. The major difference is the new fans have 5 blades instead of 4. The new fans run great. Check with me in 25 years and I'll let you know if they are still running! In my opinion, the "Hunter Original" model fan is the best fan you can buy.

I love this fan!! It was a bit challenging to install because the directions included didn't match the type of ball hanger on this model. Even the manual on their website didn't have the proper instructions and their customer support folks were less than helpful. But once I figured it out and got the thing installed it is perfect. The only thing I don't like about it is if you are right under it, the naked light that shines down from the bulb through the hole in the shade is a bit bright, but if it is mounted in the middle of the room and nobody is sitting directly under it, it isn't a problem.

We purchased this fan for our kitchen remodel about four months ago. The amount of light was low but we were aware the bulb was only 40watt. After about six weeks the bulb went out. We searched everywhere locally and on line for a replacement bulb without success. After contacting Hunter they verified that the bulb is exclusive to Hunter and can not be purchased elsewhere. They said they will send me a new bulb. That was over six weeks ago and I am still in the dark. My light has been broken longer than it worked. Why would Hunter manufacture a fixture with a bulb that can't be easily replaced? The fan works well and has a wow factor with the retracting blades but I would not have purchased it if I had known about the problem with bulb replacement. After purchasing many Hunter products over the years this will be the last one!
