Hunter Fan Company Bennett 52-inch Indoor Matte Black Rustic Ceiling Fan With Bright LED Light Kit, Remote Control, and Reversible WhisperWind Motor Included

Great Fan!
Pretty thrilled with this purchase, the fan looks amazing and the dark wood matched my room nicely. The nickel finish looks classy. Quality seems decent, though it should be at this price. Easily one of the nicest ceiling fans I’ve ever seen.The LED bulbs flickered a bit when I first turned them on, I don’t notice it now that it’s been on awhile. They do make a faint buzzing noise which might be annoying if your room is silent, but they’re fairly unobtrusive otherwise. The fan is very quiet, though not silent.Remote feels like a cheap kids toy, I really wish they’d have included something decent as this isn’t a cheap fan by any means. It’s perfectly functional though and all the controls and functions work well.Lots of misinformation and griping in these reviews for things I feel are insignificant. I had to LOL at the fellow who made a comment that after balancing, his fan looks like it has clothespins on it. The plastic clip is for TESTING the balance, so you know where to stick the weights. My unit did have a very noticeable wobble to it after installing with fan speed set to high. You stick the plastic clip in different positions on the blades until the wobble goes away, then you remove the plastic clip and use the supplied adhesive weights on the TOP of the blade where it can’t be seen. Works like magic, mine took one weight toward the end of one blade and now it spins smooth as glass. I repeat for the fellow who lacks reading comprehension or fails to read instructions: you DON’T use the plastic clip as the weight. Bonus is there’s three weights included so I was able to use the extras on my other fans to smooth them out.Many have suggested the lights don’t dim, but I find the dimming function to work well. Just hold the light button the remote and they change in 8 different increments. They might not get dim enough for some people’s tastes, but I find the low setting plenty adequate. The bright setting is superb, providing good light in the room without being blinding. Since this is the main light in my bedroom, I appreciate the bright light output and ability to dim if needed.I concur with the others that the bezel that fits over the mounting bracket does not sit flush with the ceiling. There’s about a 3/16″ gap and if you’re looking for it, you can actually see a bit of the mounting bracket under it. It’s not as bad as some people describe (in my opinion) and I’m confident nobody would ever know that gap existed unless I told them about it. I assume they do this to accommodate different ceiling textures.The 2-switch wiring makes no sense to me in how it operates. So let’s ignore the remote control for a second because obviously it won’t work at all if you have both circuits turned off at the switches. The way I think it should work is that the light and fan should work independently at their respective switches. Then if you have one or both turned on, you ought to be able to use the remote to control that function.The way it works in reality is that the unit is completely dead if the fan switch is turned off. If you walk in the room and flip on the light switch, you get nothing unless the fan switch is also turned on. If the fan switch IS on, the light switch works as expected, and all remote functions work. You can even turn the lights on/off using the remote, even though your light switch is turned off (provided that fan switch is left on). If you turn the lights on with the remote while your light switch is turned off, if you walk out of the room and turn the light switch ON, it will turn the lights off. Sort of bizarre and hard to explain; hope the above makes sense. I guess you could say the fan switch acts as the master power switch, it will also start the fan but only if it was on previously.I don’t think it’s a good or bad thing that it functions this way, I just have to remember to shut the fan off using the remote (and not the switch), so that I can use the wall light switch when entering/leaving the room. Far from a deal breaker, but certainly a head scratcher. I can see the benefit to this configuration though as the remote will always work regardless of light switch position assuming you haven’t turned the fan switch off.All-in-all a great purchase. The design is wonderfully elegant without being too flashy– I feel it would fit in with most any décor. Seems to be good quality. My wife loves it, I love it, can’t ask for much more than that.

Great ceiling fan
We bought a ceiling fan from a company that we had never heard of, US Deliver. Long story short, it was a disaster and we had to take it all down, repackage and return it which was a major hassle. We went back to a tried and true brand, Hunter. We have 3 other Hunter fans already that work great. The installation of any ceiling fan is a hassle, but at least with this fan the end result was worth it. The fan is silent except for a normal sound of moving air and did not require any special balancing. The screws match the finish and do not look like they came out of the screw bin at the local hardware store. The light bulbs can be changed without having to dismantle the fixture. Some reviewers mentioned that the glass lampshades looked different from those shown in the ad. That is somewhat true until they are up on the ceiling. Then everything looks as advertised. The blades are nicely finished on both sides. The remote takes a minute to figure out but Hunter provides a handy instruction guide that makes using it a simple process. Overall it is a beautiful, high quality fan typical of Hunter quality and would definitely buy again!

Great Looking Fan!!
Got this for our dining room. It looks great, very stylish. The fan itself is whisper quiet when it’s on and moves a lot of air. The remote control can be confusing, however there is a card in the box with all the directions for the remote. I took a picture of it so I wouldn’t loose it. That being said all of the commands on the remote work just fine. The light bulbs that came with the fan are not dimmable. This is really stupid on Hunters part because they specifically note that the lights are dimmable, just not the lights that come with the fan. I’ve opted to purchase other dimmable Edison style bulbs that are a slightly higher wattage. If the bulbs still won’t dim properly I will update this review. I had my fan installed by an electrician so I can’t comment on the ease of installation. I am very happy with this fan and recommend it if you like the style.

Product is as described. Looks great. Instructions clear. Installed in loft of a new bungaloft overlooking main floor. Used to circulate air with 18 foot ceiling

Excellent fan with remote. Just love it.

Nice looking easy to put together
