Builder Plus, Indoor, Ceiling Fan, 5 Blades, 52 inch, Brushed Nickel

I absolutely love it! I have no regrets with it at all, and I would highly recommend this to someone looking for a new, powerful fan. Pros: even on highest setting, it's still super quiet and you get a beautiful breeze from it that you can actually feel. It's powerful enough to blow papers around :P It's super stylish and modern. Great for preventing dust build up. really easy to install, literally the longest part of this was screwing the blades onto the brackets. So it's super easy to install, and it doesn't move 1 bit on the highest setting, the only way it'll move is if you tilt it by hand. Cons: Bulbs are the only thing I don't like, they're the really tiny ones, but it's not a huge deal because if you don't like the soft white color, you can swap them out. One other thing I didn't like was the packaging, it's literally just the factory box with shipping stickers on it, and the UPS guy didn't even ring the bell or knock, he just left it on the steps and walked away, I'm glad my phone sent me a message saying it was delivered, so I'd recommend turning those on. Other than those two, I really can't think of anything else wrong with it, maybe the price? But honestly, It's SO worth it. I can't wait for summer to come now, I'll have no problem keeping cool now :) Really, this thing is flawless, and I'm being completely honest. If there was something wrong, I'd be the first to tell you. But it's amazing! The blades are reversible which is really nice :) I got the Nickle and Cherry one, and personally I think it looks the best, the other side of the blades is a brighter tint to the cherry more of a darker wood color, still really nice :) And like I said, I can't wait to try this out for the summer when it gets super hot inside, the long, wide blades will be perfect for providing excellent cooling :D If you're looking for a new fan, seriously, get this! You will not regret it at all :)

I read a lot of reviews, some of which suggested a hum or other anomalous sound. I found this NOT to be the case. I bought 3 of them and mounted them in three different rooms. None of them make any extraneous noise. I also had read that the fan speed was not fast enough, or that there were other performance issues. Again, I found this NOT to be the case. All 3 of my fans perform flawlessly. One of my fans was missing one of the two pull chains that come out of the main unit (not the extension chain). I was very unhappy with Hunter's customer service, since after three calls, nobody ever answered the phone. I spent a long time on hold. The GOOD NEWS is, however, that I simply reported the problem to Amazon, who "overnight shipped" a replacement fan to me, and gave me the shipping label (and 30 days) to return the faulty unit. This, to me, made the problem a complete non-issue. Am I happy - you bet your bottom dollar I am. All fans were very easy to assemble (which, contrary to others who were miffed at this, I found to be a bit of a fun project). The instructions included several methods of electrical assembly, which worked nicely for me since I rent and want to take them with me when I move - so I was able to wire each of them to their own respective 16 gauge heavy duty extension cord and plug them into wall outlets. I'll spare you my other mounting details, since I'm sure very few buyers have the same chalet style exposed roof beams that I have, which allowed me to fabricate my own 4 screw mounting units. But, if you can find a way to contact me, I'll be happy to share my approach. I've attached a photo though, so you can see. Ignore the cord, since that was a sloppy mount to get them running. I've since used a spool of color coordinated 16 gauge wire to hide the cords along the ceiling contours. ;) Anyway - I highly recommend these fans. They are pretty - yet masculine in appearance, the lights are bright enough for my needs, and I'd make the purchase again in a second if I needed to.

These are wonderful fans that have remote control that I purchased separately. Setting are great, very quiet operation and installation was a breeze.

Excellent so far. Installed it in a 10' x 11' room with 8' ceilings. Used the standard downrod and got the 7' recommended clearance for the fan blades. Replaced a 52" fan, so, I really wanted to go back with a 52" fan. So glad that I did not go with the "recommended" smaller size fan. Excellent air flow and the three candelabra bulbs were more than bright enough. In fact, swapped out the 60w for 40w that I had on hand. Will look for 40w-equivalent LED bulbs now. Overall, nice look, quiet, very secure mounting. Last note, supplied mounting bracket fits a 4" outlet box only - I have a 3" outlet box; but, no worries - I located the side of the outlet box where it mounted to the ceiling joist, then, mounted one end of the bracket to the outlet box using the existing screw, then, positioned the other end of the mounting bracket beneath the ceiling joist, and used the supplied wood screw. Since the mounting bracket is essentially 1" longer than the existing outlet box, it extends just about to the exact middle of the 2" x 6" ceiling joist. Probably more secure now than the original mounting. Of course, the supplied canopy piece is more than wide enough to cover the entire area. There are probably higher-end Hunter fans available that look just like this one, but, for about $100, this one is a good buy.

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.

I searched for days looking for ceiling fans, I read hundreds of reviews, even for this Hunter fan and I looked at other brands too. I always came back to this ceiling fan. I had to replace 6 ceiling fans because my house had been in a flooded lake sitting in water for 3 months. My contractor had to pretty much gut my house and rebuild on the inside. My previous ceiling fans were drooping from the enclosed house holding lake water and the moisture from the flooding made every blade droopy looking like a upside down flower. I was going to replace only the blades but by the time I found everything I would need it was just as cheap to order new ceiling fans. I’m so thrilled I made the right decision. They’re more beautiful in person than in the internet. I bought 5 of these fans and they were easy enough for the contractor to hang them up. One fan my contractor said he had a little problem with but nothing he couldn’t figure out. He said they were a breeze to hang up. 3 of the fans were hung on a pitched ceiling and I didn’t use a down rod but the contractor said he would have to shave some of my ceiling wood so the blades would clear the lower part of my ceiling, One fan I ordered a 24” down rod but that was way too much so I ordered a 12” down rod for the bedroom with a deeper pitched ceiling and it looks gorgeous! I couldn’t get over the price of the ceiling fans and the dark bronze hardware is the icing on the cake, really beautiful. I’m so thankful I didn’t regret my purchase, I’m rarely disappointed when I do study whatever it is I’m purchasing from Amazon. The reviews help so much if you read a lot of good and bad reviews because it helps you understand what could happen and if you are prepared in case you are missing a part, or for any problem that may arise. That can happen with anything you order. Luckily, I had a man that was familiar with hanging ceiling fans and it was easy for him to hang. He is not an electrician. I definitely would recommend this ceiling fan even for pitched ceiling. Love my buy!

Great quality product. will not disappoint.

Great quality, bright light, and air flow is great!

The seller is being unreasonable. He is refusing to replace it or refund the money. Worst ever seller. Bought it from AlzengAs. He doesn’t deserve any stars.

10/10 estoy encantado con este producto, es de buen calidad. Pedi 4 y funcionan muy bien

Fan got burnt in less than 3 months and neither Amazon, nor the seller are interested to solve the matter. product is under guarantee still no response from any of them

I bought a lesser known brand of ceiling fan, only to install it and realize it was as noisy as a helicopter. After I installed this one I was nervous to hit the switch, but Hunter makes a superior fan. Whisper quiet, fairly easy install (very intuitive directions) and it has a great warranty. I wound up buying a second one for my son's room. Highly recommend.

We have 4 other Hunter Fans (different models) in the house, which we love. This one did not disappoint. Like all Hunter Fans, fitting the wires in is a very tight job, but certainly doable. The fan is ultra-quiet, and has a lovely appearance with a subtle design on the glass light covers. Our only issue is that the fan did not come with a safety cable. We knew of this only because of the other fans we installed. When contacting Hunter, we were told that while it is not a requirement in the US, it is mandatory in Canada and they recommended we contact Amazon directly. Looking at the company selling, it was listed Amazon.com.ca, so I'm thinking this was a model from the US that found its way to Amazon Canada, without the proper safety feature. In contacting Amazon, they were very helpful, and issued a partial refund for us to purchase the safety cable (we didn't want to return the fan, as we are very happy with it - just want it secured).
