Review on Hunter Fan Company 59451 Dempsey by Shawn Bass

I bought a ceiling fan from Hunter with adjustable LED light and remote control from Whie - BN 52 inch brushed nickel to get the terrible cheap building ceiling fan combo kit replacing and reporting in 1999. Aesthetically black wings, brushed nickel finishes, and an LED-lit dome were chosen to update the space (all hardware has already been switched to brushed nickel). The fan arrived well packaged with no damage to the fan or components. In terms of installation, the suspension mechanism is pretty good. Wiring is easier than most fans, but that's because the wireless receiver is more integrated than many fans. That's part of the problem though, as an external receiver might be a bit more convenient to retrofit as you can plug the light kit directly in instead of having to control it with the receiver. It is not uncommon for fans to have two wall switches - one for the fan and one for the lighting set. By default, this resets one of the switches and forces the other to be permanently on. Ironically, the color temperature setting (which you'll likely only set once) is on the remote, but the fan reversing switch is in a hard-to-reach part of the fan (although you'll need to use it at least twice a year). The remote mount is better than the latest generation of cheap fan remote covers. Installing the fan was quick. The blades were fairly well balanced. The fan moves a decent amount of air, doesn't make much noise, and doesn't have the kind of vibration that makes the fan feel cheap at times. The fan is definitely a step up from what I had, but it's not a "really good" fan. If you are looking for a "good" fan, you should be happy with the Hunter 59451.
