Review on Hunter Fan Company 59242 Dempsey by Samantha Cameron

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Light turns on and off randomly

Pros: This low-profile fan is very quiet, very well made - at least the mechanical parts. Much better than what you buy in HD. The light is soft and the LED bulbs don't get hot, which is nice. All right: the setup is not for the faint of heart. It takes a little thinking and following the instructions. If you've done this before, they usually come mostly assembled - in this case, that's not entirely true. This product is also HEAVY. It needs to be installed in a box with a fan or something more permanent than your regular outlet. The Bad: From the first day I installed this item, it randomly turned off and on (light only, as far as I can tell). I use it all day in my office for work so sometimes I see it turning on and off 1-2 times in an 8-12 hour shift. sometimes he does this 3-4 times in a short window. This will most likely happen after it has run about +20 minutes. Now, for all the other things it has, I wish this defect wouldn't ruin a perfectly good fan, but unfortunately it does. I'm not sure if Revain or the supplier partners they work with do . for, but I've found that many of the branded products I buy from Amazon end up defective. I guess it's just a coincidence - I doubt they intend to release problematic products, but it looks like the quality on this platform has dropped a lot in the last 3-5 years. I don't want to go through the pain of taking this unit apart and returning it and all that. I just want the light to work without randomly turning on and off all the time. It reminds me every day how much I hate what this place has become.

Pros
  • Hands-free mode
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
