Not ready for outdoor use in Texas

The blades are wood not ABS as some of the Q&A say and more importantly there are holes in the top of the fan that are not covered Mesh cover. At our location, patio use requires a fan with a solid top or at least vents covered with mesh to discourage wasps and other insects from building nests inside.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Good but not great

Slim, simple and quiet

This fan was professionally installed and works great. Efficiently circulates the air in the room and is very quiet. Elegant and beautiful style as I prefer ceiling fans without ugly lights. I have never been disappointed with Hunter desktop fans in the past so I look forward to using this Hunter ceiling fan for many years to come.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Non-automatic

Great fans for the covered terrace.

Looks attractive but is a bit traditional. Concealed installation is not possible. Installed three of these outside on a covered patio. There are two color options for the blades - solid black looks good. Quiet and smooth operation. I'm taking off 1 star because they don't move as much air as I would have hoped at full speed. It's decent, but if you're looking for strong winds, this isn't it.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive

Very pleasant surprise

Put simply, this is CRAZY, one of the best products at one of the fairest prices in the world. Bought six (6) for the covered porch for our restoration. The installation went smoothly (it's not often you hear such a claim in a 125-year-old house) and their work for the first few months was flawless. They're efficient, quiet, and clearly well-made. A real surprise with a reliable name at this price. We are very happy.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Very nice patio fan

We wanted a black porch ceiling fan that looked like vintage Hunter fans made years ago. It looks great and works great. The blades of this fan are sealed to resist moisture and therefore will not sag or warp. I also installed a Hunter 99119 remote control kit to match the in-ceiling hub. Both the fan and the remote control work flawlessly, and both are designed for humid environments.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Write later

Bought 2 fans, 1 had to cut the cables

Ordered two fans, one was ok and installed correctly. On the other hand, however, the main harness is cut off at the base. Very strange. Stuck abroad I haven't been able to open it to find out about it yet and fell out of the returns window. Anyway since my patio fans match I will be ordering more. Disappointed but it's 2020 so seems standard. It's very hot in here, I'm not sure how well it will move the air considering it's only one speed.

Pros
  • Satisfied
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Very good, but could be better

Good quality, very little jitter at high speed. The cap on the mount is large to allow for cables and a remote control receiver when you plug it in. The lower part has wiring for the light and multiple mounting methods. The photo shows that I installed a simple street fitting. DO NOT buy cheap fans. You work to put it on, take it off, get it back, it's a real pain. MAKE IT BETTER: Attach mesh to ALL holes (top only) Need mesh to ALL holes to keep bugs out. Improve the quality a bit. there…

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Factor set

Perfect for the patio

I ordered this for my patio about 3 years ago but decided to wait to write this review. I wanted to make sure I had a fan that could handle the weather, which can be extreme in northern Wisconsin summers and winters since my patio is open. I don't have an extension cord on this fan, just a standard 6-8 inch drop down. The ceiling in the patio is about 10-12 feet high. This fan can move "big" air! In August he creates a breeze. It can easily cool the four of us. I didn't install the remote but…

Pros
  • Good finish
Cons
  • No
