 Perfect for Small Bedrooms Jul 15, 2008
By T. Hewett
This is the fourth Hunter Low Profile ceiling fan we've purchased for our home. This 42-inch four-blade model is perfect for smaller bedrooms with eight-foot ceilings. The housing fits nicely on the ceiling where the light fixture was, it doesn't hang down too low, and it's very quiet for sleeping. Hunter suppresses the motor sound by using rubber bumpers between the mounting bracket and ceiling, soft rubber grommets for each blade, and of course a quiet motor. We're very satisfied with this product, and our first two are still quiet after three years.

cool and quiet Aug 07, 2007
By John L. Conway Jr.
We love the new Hunter fan. It is very quiet and has the lowest profile of any fan we saw. It is great for low ceilings like ours.

A great fan at a great price Feb 24, 2011
By W3ap0n-X
This is a no-frills ceiling fan for smaller rooms. No remote, no fancy chain plugs but it works and is VERY quiet. I did not need to balance the blades at all.
The installation is a little strange. The fan does not come with screws for your electrical box but instead comes with screws to drive up through the wall covering (drywall, plaster, etc.) and into the structure beneath. When I remodelled I installed metal boxes for my wiring mounted between the joists with a 2x4 and 3" wood screws. Luckily for me I was able to drive the screws up through the drywall and into this 2x4 I extended between the joists. For anyone else wanting to use their reinforced box they will need to purchase their own machine screws or hope that the ones that came with their box are long enough to reach through the mounting bracket. Mine were not, however, I was able to use the wood screws included with the fan.
There are four bushings that sit between the bracket and the ceiling that make the bracket feel much more "sturdy" and allows you to tighten the screws quite well to prevent any wobbling or vibration.
The blades install to the decorative arm with "grommets" inserted into holes in the blades. The screws will not tighten all the way down but will instead leave some "wiggle" in the arms and fan blade. I was concerned about this at first but after installing and running the fan at full speed my concerns were unfounded. The fan is sturdy and quiet.
All-in-all this is an excellent product and really fits the bill nicely when you want a flush-mount fan with no light kit. Keep in mind, however, that this fan leaves about 1/2 to 5/8" of space between the ceiling and fan shroud, so if you have a rather large hole you're trying to cover you'll need a ceiling medallion. Thankfully I finished my boxes with no gap in the drywall around them so I did not have the need for a medallion.
If you do have to use the box machine screws to hold your bracket and feel less than comfortable with how secure your bracket is I suggest buying some red Loc-Tite for installing the screws. Apply liberally to the threads on the screws and, once dried, your screws will not back themselves out no matter how much the fan vibrates.
One excellent idea that the manufacturer did was include extra fasteners! If you drop one of the pretty blade mounting screws you will have an extra one. I had an extra blade mounting screw, bushing, and blade to bracket screw in each of my three fan kits.

Very quiet and easy on the wallet Aug 02, 2010
By RoadBikePete
I really wanted a 4 blade white "hugger" ceiling fan... not easy to find. Most ceiling fans are 5 blade in the low-profile-hugger models. This Hunter fan seemed just right for a bedroom/8ft ceiling install. It is safely high enough and looks a bit retro. I'm very happy with the purchase and ease of assembly, provided you read the instructions... really... read the instructions.
The reviews on Amazon were very helpful in selecting this fan. The points people make about the housing not sitting against the ceiling are valid, it actually is about a half inch or less from the ceiling, but this is part of the quietness. There are four rubber bumpers that keep the housing/cover at a particular distance from the ceiling. This is all part of why the fan is so... so... very quiet.
I used a Westinghouse ceiling fan brace (see my other review about that product). The biggest cost for me was the electrician who ran a new electrical line to the ceiling fan, wired to a Lutron 3-speed fan (Specific) wall switch. This provides three speeds from the wall switch, those setting are varied by the three speed settings for the pull chain on the fan... in short, if you want the fan to spin really slow, I recommend you go this route. I'm happy we didn't go with a remote control even though it increased costs.
Amazon shipped quickly and the product arrived safely.
