Hunter Fan Company, 59545, 54 inch Promenade Gloss Black Ceiling Fan with LED Light Kit and Handheld Remote

I hope this information helps prospective buyers:Overview- I installed this fan 6/13/2019 in a master bedroom about 17'x17'. I was looking for a whisper quiet fan with ability to move a lot of air for those hot/dry California Summers. I also needed a fan with lights bright enough to provide the only source of light for a master bedroom. Because of this, I only looked for fans with multiple light sockets, rather than ones with covered dome lights. The fan has worked flawlessly. It is extremely quiet. I can’t hear it at all at night, even though it sits above me while I am on my bed. In the highest speed setting (I believe it is a 6 speed), it moves an impressive amount of air. I do not foresee ever needing the 5th or 6th speed setting while I sleep (It’s just too much wind). The lights do a great job of making the large room very bright. In summary, I am a big fan of this fan (pun intended).Installation- Same as every other ceiling fan. I had no issues. There are plenty of videos online on how to install ceiling fans. The fan is a little heavier than other fans I installed, but not insanely heavy. Once everything was installed, and power added, the fan came to live with no issues. The remote control receiver module at the fan is located inside its housing. There is no access to it unless you take the housing apart. So if you are hoping to change the frequency setting on the receiver or remote control, this will not be an option. The receiver and control are paired at the factory. The fan has no pull chains to speak of. Please know this fan is strictly controlled via remote control!!!Operation- Like other reviewers have noted, the fan assembly (not the remote) does beep every time you send a command to it via the remote control. While this can be annoying and outright unforgivable if someone else is sleeping in the room, I find this function useful and necessary, since the fan lets me know by its beep that it has indeed received a command.Every time you turn on the fan function, it takes a few seconds for the fan blades to actually start spinning. Once it does begin, it goes through a balancing evolution of sorts where the fan blades spin slowly back and forth in both directions before actually beginning the full spinning momentum. The initial beep lets you know that the fan has indeed received your command to start spinning. Initially I would turn on the fan (it would indeed beep), and when nothing happened within a second or so I would press the button again, in essence turning the fan back off. Now, I have learned to trust the beep when I turn the fan on. Once I hear the beep, I walk away knowing that the fan blades will commence spinning in a matter of seconds. If you do not have the ability to wait 4 seconds or so after pressing the button for the fan to actually begin spinning, this is not the fan for you! (I have little patience myself, but the delay does not bother me).Remote- The remote included with the fan works incredibly well. Connectivity between the fan and control is perfect. Every single time I press a button on the remote control, the fan beeps and lets me know it has received the command. No need to hit a button more than once for the fan to get the command. I attached the remote control on wall about 8 feet away with zero issues on connectivity.Summary- I purchased this fan for about $300. While this is a little steep for a fan, considering I can buy a brand new one at the local home improvement store for $50, I believe it is well worth the price. I would purchase it again without hesitation. I will be keeping an eye on it in the near future and if it ever goes on sale I will purchase 2 more to replace older fans in my house! The fan does looks custom and expensive. My wife loves the look of it, and I appreciate the high quality of its construction.

Looks even better in person. It's huge,may need two people to install. Quiet,has multiple settings and made of great material, you get what you pay for.

The media could not be loaded. I liked the aesthetics so much that I purchased two of these fans. The install was simple. Its operation is completely silent. Its been a couple of months since the install and I have no regrets.I upgraded the generic globes. The remote and fan set up is unique because there is often a delay of a few seconds and the motor may recalibrate by spinning backwards at times momentarily. Those are however minor and trivial issues. I miss the decorative pull down chains that never required a battery unlike the remotes but the units are so attractive that the removal of the chains is soon forgotten.I spent weeks trying g to find a model to replace the pre-existing fan units that came with the house and I could not be happier with this selection. Form meets Function!☆☆☆☆☆

Fan is very pretty. Motor didn't work. I have been in contact with Hunter fans since July and it still hasn't been replaced by them. Very frustrating.

Easy to install runs really quiet and looks great

It is a beautiful fan and very quiet. Moves a lot of air. Easy to install.1. Do not install the fan or the light fixture on a dimmer switch. The lights will not dim properly and the fan will hum.2. Use only an on-off switch, but leave it turned on. The remote control will control the fan in lights .3. The remote is easy to use but every time you change the fan speed it does beep. It is not very loud at all.4. When you first turn the fan on it will rotate backwards for about one turn and then begin to move forward slowly. When it reaches full speed. It is very quiet. This is normal.5. The only downside; the remote receiver is integrated into the fan body. If it goes out. The fan is shot. No pool chain. You can buy other fans with a pull chain and purchase a remote receiver separately that installs in the dome of the fan. Italian Countryside by Hunter would be a nice choice. If receiver goes out, it can be replaced. An excellent fan and a beautiful addition to any room.

I bought this fan hoping to bring more cooling effect to my kitchen area. It is mounted over the dining table and has wonderful lighting, no complaints on that score. If you are directly under the fan it is sufficient to move the air for a cooling effect but move 5’ away into the actual kitchen where the stove and sink are and I can’t tell I have a fan in the vicinity! I would give this fan a “C” grade for air movement. It gets an “A” for style and looks and lighting. I wouldn’t put this in an area where you expect it to cover much size, perhaps a smaller bedroom would be appropriate. Mine has the beeper turned off from the factory so changing function is silent. The remote works well.

It’s a very nice looking fan but for $300 I expect a lot more out of Hunter. We have the fan connected to a switch for the light and the fan. Neither work by just flipping. You also have to figure out what combination turns things on with the remote. The remote beeps, the fan does this shimmy thing like its balancing before starting to turn. Dimmer switch causes the lights to blink on and off. The whole fan shakes when it runs, but husband won’t use the balancing kit, so I don’t know if that’s fixable. Also suggest he call Hunter to see what’s wrong with the switch, but he won’t do that either. Says this fan has some sort of microprocessor that starts it up. Guess I’ll be returning it for a much less expensive fan without any fancy new technology.
