A Beautiful Fan and a Good Value

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015

We just got this fan installed yesterday and really love it. For the price, it's very nice looking and well made. We got it to replace a 20 year old fan that had gotten wobbly and noisy. What a difference. This thing is rock solid and doesn't make a sound. All you hear is air moving around! It moves a sufficient amount of air for our living room. The fan feels high quality and we hope and expect it to last many years.

It doesn't put out a lot of light, but we don't sit in that room at night much anyway. It would be fine for just relaxing, but not enough to read by. I'm considering replacing with LED candelabra bulbs when the ones that came with it burn out.

The guy we got to do the install commented that Hunter fans are always very easy to install and he appeared to have no issues.

It did release a strong chemically odor after it had been running for a few minutes on high the first time we used it. This caused some concern, but we opened the windows and let it run for a few hours. Today we turned it on and the odor has disappeared. No idea what that was about.

Overall, this ceiling fan appears to be a very good value. If we have any issues, I'll come back and update this review.

Worst fan control.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024

I love hunter fans, but this has to be the worst hunter fan I have ever seen. The fan is great, 7 blades is the way to go, I love the look and it is so quiet. Until you try to turn it on. You press the fan button on the remote, fan is supposed to have 6 or 7 speeds, first press the fan goes backwards stops backwards stops. Then you have to hit the button again, if you are lucky it will go super fast, you hit the slower button, to decrease to a lower speed, it turns off. Try again. Same. It can take up to 10 minutes to get it where I want. Led does not dim, off or superbright, not in-between. Very disappointed. Try connect it to wifi, impossible. It seems you are controlling the remote via phone to send commands to the fan?????? What??????

Received pretty quickly. A little smaller than I anticipated but it looks and runs great. Had an electrician install it within our daughter's room where there was previously no fan. Hooked up to a light switch for easy access to turn off. Much better solution than those remote controlled ones. It's also very quiet and moves air pretty well around the room. Very happy with the purchase!

The Hunter Fan 53091 works well. installation was straightforward but required strength to lift, electrical knowledge, and a minimum of an hour.

The only disappointment was the light. It's not too bright but overall the fan was a great replacement.

Excellent quality, excellent value

I'm so pleased with this fan I'm purchasing number 5 of the same item right now. Excellent build quality. Excellent finish. Very heavy and very solid construction. All parts are included to remove the included light kit and install as fan-only (that is how I installed all of mine so I cannot comment on the quality and coverage of light). Hunter has thought of everything in their design which contributes to two critical points for me: 1) Perfect balance at every speed right out of the box. It's nice they included a mini blade balancing kit and even nicer that I have not had to use a single one of them! 2) Absolutely dead quiet. Not a trace of electrical/motor hum or AC buzzing. The only sound is air movement when used at high speed, which of course one would expect. Also note that the optional downrods are a perfect color and sheen/texture match for the fan unit. I'll never go back to big-box store brands when they cost more and are of very poor quality compared to these. You will spend a little more time installing these units for the very reason I believe they are well balanced and totally quiet. For example; consider the rubber bushings for each blade mounting bolt (15) which isolates the motor from blade movement. Quality engineering in so many regards pays off. Description details are 100% accurate. If you don't like this color scheme look at the other choices to choose from. I've seen a number of comments questioning use on vaulted ceilings. These so ship with a heavy duty ceiling bracket that is designed to support flush or tilted ceiling installations. Of course fairly steep angles will require longer downrods than the 2 lengths Hunter ships in the box to clear the ceiling pitch in your application.

I've learned that Hunter is the best of the best

I ordered this fan through my Prime account because I love the free two day shipping and it keeps me from driving into the city to stand in line at the home improvement stores. The item arrived in it’s factory box exactly when expected. The box was in excellent condition and undamaged during the shipping process. Opening the package was easy. The tape was easy to break and there was ample protection around the fan to keep me from worrying about damaging my purchase.
In my 23 years as a homeowner, I've learned that Hunter fans are the best of the best. This is a beautiful fan. The colors are rich and the fan was the look I was aiming for in my new home. The brushed nickel matched the color package for our home so this is the color we decided on. The fan is well made and does not wobble or make any noise when turned up to the highest setting.
I have installed ceiling fans in the past so I didn’t read every word of the instructions. I just skimmed over the important items and began assembling the fan. This fan is being installed on an 11 foot trey ceiling so I purchased the 12" extension so the fan hung a little lower than the standard installation bar. The wiring included with the fan was enough to accommodate the extension.
Pros
– Easy to Install
- Quiet with plenty of air flow
- Beautiful addition to my new home

Cons
- None

Exactly as described.

As all the reviews have said this is a quality Hunter fan which is easy to install. The installation would have been even more of a breeze had we not discovered the existing ceiling box was attached to a hanger bar that was too small to support the fan. Since finding the ceiling box in the attic under blown in installation would have been difficult if not impossible we went to Home Depot and found a retro-fit ceiling fan safety brace for $13.

(Description : This Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace allows you to safely install your ceiling fan or lighting fixture in three easy steps--without having to access attic space. Ideal for installation during new construction or remodeling, this mounting brace can be put into finished ceilings through a 4-in. hole. This brace works with all ceiling fans, so you do not have to worry about size or compatibility. The brace's three teeth easily twist and lock into the ceiling joists, its threaded multiple lead adjusts quickly, and its square tube allows for easy turning. For added ease, the electrical box can be positioned anywhere on the brace to fit your project needs. The brace works with existing ceiling joists between 16 and 24 in. wide. The Saf-T-Brace comes with everything you need for installation, including easy-to-follow instructions. It also includes a Saf-T-Cap to protect bolts and wires during drywall installation and painting.)

Once the new ceiling box was installed the fan went up easily. There was a little wiggle in the fan, but was easily solved with the enclosed balance kit. The fan runs so quietly and smoothly the pull chains which hang beneath it don't even move. The glass light shade is a little darker than the picture but almost matches the glass shade on a floor lamp in the room. I'm very happy with the fan and its appearance.
