The fan is truly as quiet as promised. The product arrived exactly as described. Each of the three lights takes a 60-watt candelabra style bulb. On other sites I’d read that people were concerned the three candelabra bulbs wouldn’t provide enough light. I find that together they produce as much or more light than the 3-bulb bowl style light fixture that was previously in the middle of the bedroom ceiling. I’m extremely pleased with the fan overall and would not hesitate to purchase another one.

Beautiful Fan!
This fan is a big improvement from the one we replaced with it. The fan is quiet and works great. We have it on the short rod. It gets hot in AZ even with the ac on so good ceiling fans are a must. Thank you!

Best fans on the market
We have Hunter fans all over the house and the 25-year-old one in our Breakfast nook started clicking, so I ordered this as a replacement. Not too bad to install, quiet and works great.

2 Updates: Light kit failed in just 3 weeks. Pain to install, but it looks good, works well, & price is right.
Update 6-15-2018 I contacted Amazon to just get a replacement light kit. No dice. They referred me to manufacturer. We all know how that went. (20 minutes of phone hell, never reached a human, and finally got disconnected – Oh, how surprising!)I was still under 30 days (barely), so I started a return for the whole unit with Amazon, and then I ordered a whole new unit to replace it. Not about to uninstall the whole thing (mounted on a 14 ft ceiling), so I just took the light kit out of the new box and replaced the defective one, then returned the second fan unit, untouched, with the defective light kit, and a note saying not to resell the unit, unless they replace the light kit..RETURNS WARNING: Not sure what’s up with Amazon now, but used to be if a return was started before the 30 days, you still had a couple weeks to get it back to them. This time, I set up the return 29 days in, and the email they sent me said I had less than 24 hours to get it back to them, to get a refund. Ack! I called them, and they fixed it, but the way they fixed it, was to claim I was returning the second fan I’d just ordered – thus eliminating any 30 day window for returns on the new fan. I called them back, and said the first kit worked great on day one, too, but failed after 3 weeks, so I’d like to keep my option to return the second one in 30 days, if need be. They said they’d fix it, but it still shows I returned the second one, not the original fan, and it’s been 2 weeks. Hopefully, I won’t need to return this one, but Beware – they are getting tricky on returns, and read those emails, to be sure you still have time to return it, even if you started the return before the 30 days.——————————————————————Update 6-3-2018: Light kit failed in just 3 weeks from install. Will update again, after attempts to resolve.————- Original Review ———————Just installed yesterday. Light kit and fan blades were harder than needed to be for install, but at the end, it’s a nice looking fan & light, and mine works well so far.Pros:- Looks good overall. Color is crisp white, and the light kit has pretty, swirled design glass, that looks clean.- Light bulbs are the tiny candle kind, but they put out a surprising amount of light in my kitchen.- Moves a lot of air, and does so QUIETLY! Very quietly.- Easy electrical connectors for the light kit. Just snap together, no wire nuts.- Roomy fan housing, so the wires fit easily inside (and potentially any remote you might buy separately).- Extra long wires, so if you need a down-rod extension, it’s great. I needed 4′ extra, and didn’t need to cut, or splice.- Good support bracket for holding it up while you connect the wires, especially with the down-rod extension.Cons:- Install is harder than it needs to be, so plan on cursing more than usual.- Screws are super short, and nearly impossible to get started, because your fingers can’t hold them close enough to even start them.- Screw holes are not all pre-threaded, light kit is just punch holes, so plan on cursing more than usual!- Fan blades now require a rubber grommet to be installed, prior to screwing blades to their holders.- Grommets are quite the pain to install, and there are 15 of them, so plan on some time to do that.Overall, I like the fan/light kit. Once you get it installed, you’ll be happy, and the price is right.You will be climbing up and down that ladder to find your screws that you dropped (a LOT), but if you learn from my mistakes, you’ll pre-install all the screws for the light kit before you even get on that ladder. Don’t assemble the kit, just get the screws in place – to open up the holes. They aren’t threaded, so doing it on the floor is wildly better than doing it on a ladder, over your head. Once you’ve threaded the screws in, they’ll come in and out a LOT easier, so when you are up there, you won’t be fumbling/dropping/cursing quite as much as I was.FYI, I’ve installed about 15 ceiling fans in the last 35 yrs, and this was harder than some, easier than others. Just new ways to make it hard, but they’re almost all a pain to install, one way or another.

Hunter Fan Company 53236 – Buy with Confidence – Excellent Quality
We love this Hunter fan – We don’t hear it when it is running. It looks beautiful, and though we weren’t used to remote controls, it is something that we could easily get used to. My husband was a bit worried about purchasing a ceiling fan on-line, but when he saw the quality of the fan, he was literally “blown away”. It was packed really good. After we had it installed, and we used it the first time, he was really amazed. He couldn’t believe how gorgeous it looked. The price was much better than we could have gotten locally, and with Hunter, we knew we had a quality product.Don’t be afraid to purchase this fan – between Amazon and Hunter, you will not go wrong. Great product.

Needs slightly better instructions
Great fan, very happy with it and relatively easy to install. Should have better instructions on wiring for when you have a double switch on the wall, one for fan and one for light. Ended up waiting backwards so the switch at the bottom of my stairs now does the fan and not the light like it used to. Otherwise great.

The box came damaged however, the internal packaging kept the fan in tact. It looks great and more importantly works great.

Bought the fan and remote control at the same time, product arrived before expected. Instructions were clear, all screws and fasteners for different functions were in individual well labeled packages. Installation went well. The only reason this does not get 5 stars is odd non symmetrical gap between the cap and the down rod.
