Our favorite fans
We are in the Caribbean and it can be brutally hot so we are replacing our expensive Hunter Original fans with these and they are putting out more air for a fraction of the cost. We don’t expect these will last forever, but they are affordable to replace unlike the expensive Hunter Originals with their supposed lifetime guarantee. We have one on our veranda and one in our kitchen and I love them! We have two more that will replace another Hunter that has never gone on high! No more Hunters.

    Best fan for the buck!
    3 blades do a great job of pushing air. Performed better than expected without the down rod extension. Don’t waste your money on the longer down rod HD lists as bought together. It is not compatible with the fan

      This Fan is a beast. Almost feels like one of those BiG A Fans, but for about 1/8th the cost. You don’t have to wire it to the wall control. I just used a normal remote module from Hampton bay I had with a previous fan. Works fine!

      Great Value
      I had this fan installed in the patio and a year later it has held up well. I don’t think there is a better fan given the price point. This fan produces a high amount of airflow - 9999 CFM. For an outdoor fan, I like the look of the fan.

        Great fan
        Nice looking fan at around $110, both two of them for my covered patio. Comes with a wall switch with 4-speed control, light weight, quiet motor, and easy to install. Happy with the purchase.

          Literally the best fan I’ve ever had.
          It’s literally, the greatest fan they have ever made. It’s solid, simple, and works great. Buy it, then come back and buy another. 👍🏽

            Love it!! Lots of breeze
            I wanted a fan they would not overwhelm all the high hat lights I already have in the ceiling. This is a very simple and does it work and does it blow air!!! Very happy with it. If you are planning to buy an extension pole, this requires a push in pole not a screw in pole. My electrician cut the pole where the screws in to remove the crew in part and made a hole in order for it to work with the extension. Otherwise great fan.

              Great fan
              Beautiful and quite. Looks expensive. Bought them for an outside patio but are prettier than the ones inside

                Very nice fans for big garage
                Nice ceiling fans. Mounted a pair and they push a lot of air even being several feet in the overhead. Great price for these also.

                Moves lots of air. Takes time to install
                Installed this with a remote fan controller instead of the included wall control. This works very well. I only use it on the middle setting as the high setting spins up too fast. The higher setting is probably good for outdoors. Instructions were clear and not to hard to understand. I would just go through the installation carefully as making sure you keep it balanced will be key.

                  Pushes Serious Air.
                  I installed two of these in my 24x42x12 pole barn garage. Most reviews said they move alot of air due to the blade design, they do. even at lower speeds they move alot of air, at higher speeds its almost too much. I have not used them on the winter setting yet, a big reason I installed them. But I'm sure they'll do a great job circulating the hot air from my kerosene heater. These are very quiet. the wall control works just fine for a garage. I plan on adding another, they only have black right now, mine are silver. Including a photo that includes high mound LED lights bought on sake at HD. They're awesome too.

                    High quality reasonable price. Last ones I bought lasted over 10 yrs. Had white ones. Love the black ones better. I think they should offer more colors.

                    Excellent ceiling fan, it actually distributes air and a lot of it. all others I could never feel it now this one wow!!! I have to keep it at 3 because 1 and 2 supper efficient. perhaps in the full summer ill go faster but for now 3 will do. Only thing is the speed to me is backwards. I feel that 1 should be slowest and 4 fastest but guess i'm being picky.

                    Perfect shop fan for less than $100.
                    Great fan, that moves a lot of air and was perfectly balanced right out of the box. In following the guidance in the HD tutorial video, I added a 24 inch down rod. Unfortunately this made the wires and safety cable just a bit too short.

                        This fan was very easy to install. We are enjoying the four speeds. The air movement is perfect for the intended area. We wanted a simple fan for our kitchen and in the living room, each having 11’ ceilings. I recommend this fan for someone considering it!

                        The reverse direction button is under the cover. How stupid have to get a latter and loosen a screw to change direction of the fan.

                        No switch
                        Installed the fan and very pleased with air flow and quietness. The directional switch is supposed to be under the hood. It is not. Needed to alter the wiring connections to get the reverse. Will probable need to install a switch myself. Not good.

                          I purchased this fan for my bedroom and TV room. Both of these rooms were hotspots so no matter how low I had my AC, you couldn't feel the air moving (both rooms had fans btw). I was a bit nervous about buying them because the rooms have average height ceilings, about 8ft, but I am SO happy I took the chance. These fans create such strong airflow that both rooms feel cold... and that says a lot since I live in Florida. I plan to buy one more to replace the fan in my living room.

                            I installed two of these fans in my 30 x 48 barn with a 16 foot peak. The whole idea was to get the hot air down to the floor when I try to heat it in the winter. These two fans are more than adequate. Turn them on and seconds later the hot air is hitting the floor and spreading throughout the barn. The fans are quiet and smooth and provide a huge amount of airflow.

                            Easy to assemble. Fan height from ceiling when completed is about 10 inches. Instructions are out of order, especially the wiring part, but common sense should overcome this. A little bit of noise at the higher speeds, but is expected. Overall, a good air mover. My garage is 11' high.

                            I wanted a ceiling fan in the garage to dry out my boat, especially in the winter, after a rain. I can't park it outside to dry (HOA rules) so I had to use several small fans over the course of a day or two. I purchased this Hampton Bay 60" industrial based on good reviews. The fan arrived fairly quickly, I hadn't finished the wiring. The fan was packaged very well, even had a bonus of hand lotion smell. Something must have spilled on the box, but it was undamaged. The instructions were easy enough to follow, but a couple were out of order. In step 4, attach the ground wire again BEFORE you put the set screw back in. (just reverse the last two instructions in this step.) Perform step 9 (making the electrical connection) before step 8 (attaching the canopy) or you cover up the wires before they are connected. The fan comes with a 4 speed control, color is white as is the face plate. I needed to put the control in a 3 switch box so the face plate was not used. I used it as a template to cut a section out of the 3 switch faceplate with a Dremel. (not a great cut but all I had to work with.) Speeds are 1-4 with 1 being the fastest, 0 is off. there is a lot of wind on 1 so I'll probably use only 2 or 3. 4 would be nice in the summer when I'm working in the garage. The fan is quiet, I'm very pleased with its performance and especially like the 3-blade configuration. I just installed it so I'm hoping it lasts a long time. It seems well built. If HD lets me update this review I'll post after a year or so, if I can remember.
