Part of Hunter's exclusive Gallery Edition series of ceiling fans, the Sanibel has a breezy nautical design. Incredibly easy to maintain, the outdoor/indoor Sanibel features washable blades, "No Rust" construction, and stainless steel hardware. To top it off, the Sanibel's globe light fixture (which requires one 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb--included) brightens any space.
Energy Efficiency Everyday
The Sanibel ceiling fan is designed for energy efficiency everyday, which means it gets better performance using less energy. Other ceiling fans may claim efficiency with low-wattage motors, but they move little air. Competitors also compromise on blade pitch and blade surface area, which makes a fan even less efficient. Thankfully, this Hunter ceiling fan harmonizes precision craftwork with a one-of-a-kind motor for optimum heat displacement and air movement.
Exclusive WhisperWind Motor
The WhisperWind motor found in the Sanibel Ceiling Fan delivers ultra-powerful air movement with whisper-quiet performance, so you get the cooling power you want--without the noise you don't.
Like all Hunter motors, the WhisperWind motor features copper wiring that has a balanced temperature rise in each winding. This eliminates hot spots for increased motor reliability and longevity. Additionally, the motor utilizes precision-engineered large and small ball bearings that provide minimal resistance and friction for virtually noise-free operation. And for even greater efficiency, the motor features an internal impeller that facilitates air circulation to keep the motor cool and to ensure long life.
Combined, these exclusive Hunter motor technologies result in 15% improved performance, 20% longer life, 20% less noise, and up to 47% savings on cooling costs.
Savings Without Sacrifice
Like all Hunter ceiling fans, the Sanibel can save you up to 47% on cooling costs. To put this in perspective, the wind chill from a Hunter ceiling fan will keep you as cool at 82 degrees as you would be at 76 degrees without a ceiling fan. That means you could set your thermostat 6 degrees higher and cut your energy bill almost in half--without sacrificing comfort. Use the Sanibel Ceiling Fan during the summer months to keep cool, or run it clockwise during the winter to circulate warm air.
Durable Fan is Easy to Install and Operate
Made to perform beautifully for years to come, this fan features Hunter's triangular hanger-ball system, which reduces torque for maximum stability and Wobble-Free performance. It also comes with a two-position mounting system, so you can hang the fan in a standard or angled position. For further convenience, a standard three-speed pull chain allows for quick and easy adjustments.
ETL Wet listed, the Sanibel is ideal for use in covered and uncovered applications. It is backed by Hunter's famous Limited Lifetime Motor Warranty.

Since this is for wet, outdoor use, I installed a diecast metal electrical backbox (also wet rated). Part of the fan installation instructions wanted me to use a couple 3" wood screws to secure the fan ceiling mounting plate to the ceiling joist. It's great plan, but my weather rated back box doesn't have holes in the back by design. If I was to drill holes in the backbox, it's weather resistant integrity would be lost. Ultimatly, I installed the screws for the extra support, but I installed them further apart so they didn't have to pass through the backbox.
The instructions tell you to install the electrical backbox so lip of the opening is recessed a minimum of 1/16". Well, the screws they provide to mount the ceiling plate to the backbox are too short with any recess at all. I had to supplement the provided hardware with a trip to the hardware store; I hate doing that in the middle of a project.
Most other fans I've installed have a bracket built into the ceiling plate that accepts the main swivel center "post". Besides being a permanent support for the fan motor, it allows the installer to relax a little while installing an adapter cover. The cover is decorative and doesn't actually support the weight of the fan. Not so on the Sanibel; you have to support the weight of the fan motor with one hand while you attempt to line up screw holes (that you can't see by the way because of the neoprene gasket blocking your vision and with your other hand, install the three thumbscrews that will support the weight of the fan! This is a poor design! They provided a tab on the ceiling bracket that's supposed to support the canopy on one side, but I was unable to get the tab into hole in the canopy with out loosening the ceiling plate. Of course I couldn't do that, becasue once the cover was installed, I could no longer tighten the ceiling plate again.
You know, for as long a I have this fan installed, I will always worry about the little cover screws coming loose and the fan falling down. I am VERY disappointed with this fan.
