Hunter Fan Company 59242 Hunter 52" Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Light, Fresh White Finish

I bought this fan in April and have been using it all summer. We live in the mountains and fortunately don’t need air conditioning. There are a few weeks though where it gets hot. No more standing room fans after getting this. It’s quiet and puts plenty of air out. The remote and light work great. It took us a little over an hour to install. I would highly recommend this fan.

I bought four of these for my recent renovation. They look really nice and clean and they fade into the background. The light is nice and diffused by the frosted globe and the fans puts out a nice amount of airflow with absolutely no noise. But read on.Their Customer Service (CS) is awful!After my electrician hung all four fans, one did not work. After holding for over 50 minutes for CS, I gave up and tried the chat option. I had to answer some preliminary questions for which I had to consult my electrician. Once answered, I did not get resolution. Instead, I was given multi-step instructions involving changing the wiring of the fan which was installed. At this point I explained that I wasn’t qualified to do this. CS persisted and when I asked for a supervisor, I was told to call the same number that I originally called. I finally just bought another fan and replaced it which called for another electrician visit and more money outlay.I will continue my battle with them for a refund of this dysfunctional fan. It’s a shame because I’ve had Hunter fans in several houses over many years. It’s a shame that this formerly well-respected company has sunk to this level.

We bought four of these fans to replace our 22 year old builder grade ones and couldn’t be happier. I love the four fan blades-a little bit different look. The biggest thing for me is that they are super quiet and don’t wobble at all on the highest speed. The remote is a plus as well so I can change the speed or turn off and on from the couch or bed. My hubby installed them without any issues. We’re super pleased with these fans and would definitely recommend.

I bought two of these fans for two bedrooms. I needed an electrician to install them as one room did not have any power available in the ceiling, so I really cannot comment on ease of installation. One fan worked perfectly. The second responded to the remote rather randomly. I called up user support and spoke with a very knowledgable and friendly woman who quickly agreed to send us a new receiver. After replacing the receiver, the fan responded slightly better, but still not perfectly. After another session with user support, they sent us a new remote transmitter. That fixed the problem. Now both fans respond correctly to the remotes.The two bedrooms are not terribly large. These fans move more than enough air to keep them comfortable. The fans themselves are nice, modern looking designs that fit very well into the rooms. My only very slight complaint is that you can hear the motor hum a little bit even on the lowest speed. I have another much more expensive fan in another room that is absolutely silent on low. Otherwise, the fans do what they are supposed to do.

Full disclosureI'm just about 83 and recently out of radiation therapy (stereotactic) It took me 5 days to put this up. 3 years ago maybe 3 hours. House was built in 1929. Originally knob and tube. Rewired in the 70s. No ground. No junction box just a 1/2 " NPT nipple anchored to ceiling joist, part needed was in the box. I kinda did a part every day. Finished in 5. Instructions were succinct and simple. All parts were well made and fit perfectly. Everything lined up. Do make sure the receiver is snugly placed in the housing.Some of the reviews about the fan direction were.. well it's not quantum physics. A quick turn of the globe and you're in. You only need do this twice a year. The remote is very intuitive and works perfectly. Use the supplied bulbs elsewhere they're 2500k. I need 5000k. The fan is dead quiet and required zero blade balancing.Complaints. This fan is a sub-assembly and for some reason only the Chinese can manufacture sub assemblies. Why can't we make this in the US? It's parts mostly automated and packed. I would gladly have paid more for a North American productAll that said you won't be disappointed

So close - yet so very far from being a great fan.Pros:Beautiful Fan. Probably the best looking flush mount with lowest ceiling clearance in the market.Easy to assemble. (Maybe one of the best and easiest I have installed. I was super impressed here.)Puts out a a good amount of light.Parts overall look well designed and built.Cons:1. It is the loudest motor hum of any fan I have owned. Simply ridiculous. Drives me crazy, and ruins everything good about this fan. I am not sure how others overlook this - but I promise you will notice it, and then never not notice it.2. The light bulbs it comes with will dim to a point and then the light no longer recognizes them and stop working - and then will not brighter. When this happens you can reset it by holding the O and hitting the light button twice, or you can put a different brand of bulbs that actually work. But why did Hunter put bulb in that don't work?3. Speed Settings and air movement are not great. Setting #1 doesn't move enough and you just hear the motor hum. Setting 2 moves too much most of the time- even louder hum. And Setting 3 is just too loud I can't ever use it.I wanted to love this fan. I bought 3 of them. It is a great looking fan, with good light output. The dimmer even works great with different bulbs than the ones it comes with. But the motor hum is horrible, and the speed settings are just off. Honestly, I hate this fan more because it could have been great but Hunter put a bad motor in it and didn't do an quality control or checking on the lights and dimming.Stay away. As much as the look and price want to pull you in. Run. Run Away.
