This review is from: Hunter Fan 28121 60-Inch Tribeca Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a great looking, quality fan that has a contemporary style without being over the top. With a 3 blade design and compact motor housing, it looks a bit anorexic compared to more traditional fans, but this is not a complaint. Even though it is a large diameter sweep, it does not look overwhelming. The graphite side of the blades is dark and matte (like a chalkboard), while the brushed nickel finishes look much better and brighter in person than in any photo I have seen online- including the dismal picture on this product page.
This particular ASIN (B00083UKUO) includes the light kit. Many other retailers sell it without the kit for about the same price. I'm impressed by the non-fussy appearance, and there is something about the shade of the frosting on the glass globe that compliments the overall contemporary look. There is an option to install the kit without the globe, however this makes the halogen lights very direct and harsh (though it looks cool).

Great Transitional Design at a Wallet Friendly Price,

This review is from: Hunter Fan 28121 60-Inch Tribeca Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
Purchased this and a light kit (from another retailer) to replace a 10 year old builder's grade ceiling wart.
Of course, aesthetically, the fan is excellent. It's a great "transitional" design that's not quite modern and definitely not traditional. It's a very nice, clean design that would fit well with most decor. The blades are reversible to be either a charcoal black/gray or the light beech/pine color depicted here (don't be confused by the image on the box as it shows it as black). You can see a picture of it in a nice model home at the Donald A. Gardner website photo gallery (find the "Laurelwood" House Plan Master Bedroom).
Functionally, the fan is excellent. In operation, the fan is smooth, wobble-free, quiet, and POWERFUL. Compared to the previous fan that we had, we can definitely feel a big difference in terms of the airflow (at an equivalent fan speed). Here's hoping that it helps cut down summer cooling bills.
That said, it's not...Read more

Just what I was looking for,

This review is from: Hunter Fan 28121 60-Inch Tribeca Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
We've only had the fan up for less than a day, but so far we're thrilled. GREAT design. It's simple, visually light, and a mix of industrial and contemporary.
The room it's in is roughly 16' x 16' with a 13' ceiling. According to recommendations, the fan is technically too big for the room, but we think it looks and works perfect. On the Low setting, there's a very slight, comfortable, cooling breeze. On High, there's a breeze strong enough to blow around a piece of paper in my hands, but it's not so strong that I feel like I'm being blown away. (The blade pitch is 15 degrees.)
We were stumped on what length of down rod to get. Various places online recommended 36 inches for our ceiling height while a Hunter customer rep recommended 48 inches. We ended up going with 24 inches, and we are SO glad we did. In our opinion, it's the perfect distance from the floor.
As far as installation directions go, we hired a professional electrician to install it, and...Read more
