Hunter Summer Breeze Plus 3-Light 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan

I shopped around quite a bit for a ceiling fan that would look nice in the living room but not break the bank, and after looking in stores and on line, I settled on this Hunter model. The price is right and it looked great in the pictures. Plus, Hunter has a great reputation.

All ceiling fans I have the hunter ceiling fan is the best. Easy to install but instructions can be miss leading. Most people know hunter for a long lasting fan, but if you didn't know this, this review is for you. Surprisingly quiet for a fan that puts out a strong breeze. I like putting low power floresont bulbs in, but it is sometimes hard putting them in small incasements, but this one had no problems fitting them in. This fan is a Very good investment for your home.

The fan was delivered promptly, well padded in an additional cardboard box. The instructions were clear. The suspension method eliminates wobble and the ceiling does not have to be straight. When the fan is operating, it is almost noise-free. We did have to purchase pull chain extensions as the ones supplied are only a few inches long. We are happy with this purchase.
