Hunter 23683 High Street 60-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Weathered Bronze

I wanted a new ceiling fan because I bought a house and the living room fan had an annoying whine.
This hunter model promised a whisper quiet motor. As I've gotten older I feel like I am more noise sensitive.
It was relatively easy to install. It is very heavy. Heavier than the slightly smaller 52-inch unit it replaced.
This wil be difficult for one person to do. I couldn't do it alone. It is just that awkward. It's nice to have
someone to help steady it as you are mounting it.
After the install I found the unit very very quiet. I could not perceive any motor noise coming from the unit.

I did make sure to change the jumper settings during the installation (from what I've heard, a lot of people skip this step, and can enter into a battle of the remotes as a result).

This is a nice ceiling fan but the description is incorrect. This fan does not come with a 240 watt light fixture. It comes with 4 - 40Watt bulbs for a total of 160 watts.
