Review on Hunter Fan Company 59451 Dempsey by Andres Black

Our old ceiling fan from the 80's was looking pretty dated. This Brushed Nickel Hunter fan looks way better. This is similar to updating our dining room, although we only updated the ceiling fan. Fan blades have two sides. One is a darker brown wood color and the other is black with a woody texture. We chose brown because it goes better with our floor and the rest of the room than black. Installation took about 2.5 hours. We have never installed a ceiling fan and have had a few issues. (Someone with experience could do this much quicker) Our old fan had a flush mount option. The Hunter came with tubes of various lengths, but didn't have a flush mount option. However this is normal, we used a shorter tube and it doesn't hang any more than the old fan. When we finished installing, we turned it on. Our old fan wasn't noisy by any means, but this one is really quiet. I mean super quiet. It should also have plenty of fan speeds to choose from. Everything is controlled by a remote control. You can choose from three light colors. One is slightly more yellow, the other is almost white, and the last is slightly bluish. I chose medium or white to match the light in our kitchen. (Nice to be able to match the color of the light to another light this way) It comes with a switch plate that will accept the remote control. We have a light switch that turns on both the fan and the light. I figured we could plug in the device and remove that switch if we wanted to. (Then put the remote cover back on) I'll leave the switch there for now and maybe attach the remote somewhere nearby with some 3M tape. I'm very glad we updated it. The old fan was fine but looked dated. We use it to move air in the dining room and didn't want to do without a ceiling fan. It was perfect for our house and room.
