    Nice, quiet, but did have the electrician come back to balance it, because it was squeaking a lot.

    I've had the fan for a month now. It is very quiet. I really like this fan. It looks great. I installed it myself with no problems. I like the 46" size of the fan. It's perfect for a bedroom.

    easy installation, quiet operation, very good breeze at all speeds. slight wobble at highest speed - none at all at low speeds. Balance kit eliminated most of the wobble. Nice remedy. Installed with a Hunter universal remote. Works fine - also recommended. Light level low. Recommend replacing the incandescent candelabra base 60W factory supplied bulbs with LEDs for brighter light. One bulb in the light kit was bad and contrary to instructions printed on the bulb box (Do Not Return to Store, call this number for a replacement), Hunter informed me that they no longer stock or ship replacement bulbs. Poor form Hunter - product literature should be changed.

    Very quiet
    Love this fan - it’s incredibly quiet. We bought new glass bulb covers as we didn’t quite like the colour of the ones that came with it.

    Great value. Very elegant, quiet, and powerful fan. The size guide provided helped me locate the exact size and model for the room where I installed the fan. Easy to install if you you take your time.

    I purchased and installed this ceiling fan just before Christmas. I've installed several ceiling fans in the past, but this one went together easily. The instructions were clear and assembly steps made sense. I didn't need 3 sets of hands to put this up. I was also pleased with the quality of construction and was pleasantly surprised that it ran up to full speed without the hassle of blade balancing that I've had to do with other brands. I would recommend this ceiling fan to anyone needing a flush mount fan.

    Very happy with the installation, looks, and function of this fan. Surprised the local HD didn't have it in stock, but the online ordering was easy, fast, and great. Only drawbacks to the fan are the three cheap energy-intensive dim 60W light bulbs that it came with. I replaced those with 40W-equivalent LEDs which provide identical light at less than 1/10 the energy costs.

    Silent comfort
    Really nice fan. We are using in the bed room. It is nice and silent. When you tighten the screws on the motor mount I recommend holding the cover up to see if it is centered. If not, loosen and tighten the screws to center it.

    Great look for our great room!
    Replacements for old Hunter fans during our great room remodel - we're very pleased with the clean, updated look.

    Fantastic!
    Fan was easy to install. Love the look and it is SUPER quiet. This is the second Hunter fan I have bought and would never buy any other brand. Completely satisfied with my purchase.

    Fan does not last more than 5 years
    I installed 3 of these in my house in 2019. All 3 have had their motors burn out and have had to be replaced within 3 months of each other. Ceiling fans should last much longer than this. The fact that this has happened to all of my fans plus seems to be an issue with other reviews that I've seen here, I do NOT recommend this fan.

      Looks good in my kitchen, it’s quiet, lights are bright. Nothing really fancy about it; I replaced my older white fan, so this one looks better because it’s new, lol. I’m happy with it and would purchase it again.

      Not impressed by Hunter anymore
      The fan-light unit looks pretty but the fan speeds suck. Low is useless. Medium is a low on my older fans. High is indeed high. I've previously purchased Hunter fans back in 2019 and was quite happy with them. These new fans as of 2023 are not worth it.

        Paired well with the Hunter remote.

        Love this Hunter fan
        The fan runs whisper quiet and was easy to install. I didn’t even need the balancing kit the comes with the fan. Looks so much better than we thought it would.

        Motor speed problems
        This fan is exactly what we were looking for. The prefect size and 3 light Kit with flush mount. Installation was easy buts tedious at points (installing grommets in the blades), but overall not bad. The only problem was the motor speed control. High speed was like a brisk medium the the medium speed wouldn't even pass for slow. it moved no air. I took the fan down and packed it up to take back. I've purchased a number of hunter fans over the years all have been good.

            Ceiling fan should last longer
            This fan was used in a bedroom, its pretty, and quiet. But after 4 years the motor burned up and died. Very disappointed.

              Just right
              I like the 46 inch size, replaced a 42 inch fan. High speed is great as well as middle speed. Easy to install.

                I can’t give this ceiling fan any higher rating yet because I purchased it to have on hand when it is ready to be installed on a current reno at our home. It is still in the box. I’m sure we will love it because Hunter is a great brand and already have another Hunter fan in the house.

                  very easy to install, added just the right look in the bedroom and good design on standard 8 ft. ceilings.
