Hunter 23683 High Street 60-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Weathered Bronze Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a new ceiling fan because I bought a house and the living room fan had an annoying whine.
This hunter model promised a whisper quiet motor. As I've gotten older I feel like I am more noise sensitive.
It was relatively easy to install. It is very heavy. Heavier than the slightly smaller 52-inch unit it replaced.
This wil be difficult for one person to do. I couldn't do it alone. It is just that awkward. It's nice to have
someone to help steady it as you are mounting it.
After the install I found the unit very very quiet. I could not perceive any motor noise coming from the unit.
It has 3 speed settings. setting one is very slow. It is just slowly moving which is good when you just want some air circulating.
Two I use most often. Setting three is fast and I did detect some slight wind noise as the air moved over the fan blades.
I guess that's to be expected. It is not enough to bother a noise freak like me. The blades were perfectly balanced so wobbles detected.
When installing the blades are "flippable" so one sides is a light Oak (?) looking wood and the other is more of a dark walnut looking wood.
So you can chose which look goes better with your decor. It does take the smaller candelabra socket bulbs.
I found two issues that bothered me a bit.
First I bought CFL's that have the candelabra socket. For some reason, perhaps the magnets in the motor, interfered with them and they flickered.
I tried another brand and they also flickered. I use CFLs in another ceiling fan so I'm not sure about this.
It works fine with incandescents but I wanted to try the CFLs. Also it is a remote control fan.
The 3 speeds and light control are on the remote unit. I wish the direction (Air up/down) were on the remote.
So when the seasons change and you want to reverse the fans direction you have to do it from a switch on the fans body.
Since my fan is mounted to a vaulted ceiling this will require pulling out the ladder twice a year.
My other fan has the switch control in the remote. It comes in handy.
Other than that I love this fan and would buy it again.
