Hunter 22460 The Astoria 52-Inch Five Blades Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Bowl

Comment: Air movement is somewhat disappointing. I bought a couple of Hampton Bay fans for other bedrooms (same size), and the high speed is higher on them. The fan is slightly out of balance, so I will need to work on balancing it, unlike the Hampton Bay fans. It was missing the tassel ends for the chains, so I'm contacting Hunter directly on getting them. If the electrician had not already installed it, I would have returned it. Hopefully, the motor will last longer on the Hunter. It was supposed to have medium base bulbs, but it actually has candelabra base - not my favorite. In its favor, it is a very nice looking fan and it is quiet. Amazon needs to adjust its "return" policy to include shipping missing parts so you don't have to return a bulky item for a small missing part. They have no easy way to contact them regarding such issues.

Comment: This fan is lovely. It cost more for the electrician to put in in than it did for the fan, but it looks wonderful in my bedroom. It's extremely quiet, doesn't move at all, and looks like it cost a lot more than it did. I would buy more of these for my home. The only thing I will mention is that if you want a very bright light, you should choose a fan that has the 4 or 4 bulb style. This fan has only one overhead light that is not incredibly bright, but for my bedroom, it is appropriate and good for me.

Comment: This ceiling fan is so quiet I often forget to turn it off when I leave the room! Installation was faily easy, although my husband said the instructions were not always exceptionally clear. Luckily, he has a reasonable amount of experience installing light fixtures, so he was able to work through the gaps in the instructions without a problem. Total installation (including removing the existing fan) took about an hour. We have used this fan in our bedroom every night for the past month and have enjoyed the quiet operation (especially since this replaced a squeaky 20 year old fan!). The style of the fan looks great with our decor, too.

Comment: We bought two fans. They shipped and arrived sooner than expected. We assembled both fans and had them installed in less than an hour. They are very quiet and steady. The chains barely jiggle even when the blades are on high and we did not need to balance the blades. The light is soft and plenty bright. This is an excellent fan.

Comment: I purchased four of these fans for my new house. My 19 year old son and I installed them. Although installation was not the easiest, by the time we got to the fourth fan it went pretty quick. The price is excellent; the fans are beautiful and they work great. They are quiet and they really move the air. Hunter is the best brand for ceiling fans. I have been using them for 25 years.
