HunterFan Company Newsome 52-inch Indoor Fresh White Traditional Ceiling Fan With Bright LED Light Kit, Pull Chains, and Reversible WhisperWind Motor Included

Looks great, very easy to install - what more can you ask? The finish is fantastic and unlike most blades, both sides are very attractive. One side seemed to have a touch of gray in it, which works great with our furniture. The end result was a very sleek look with a tight flush mount. (I did not use the included light kit.) Fan speed seems to be a little slower than older fans, with the high speed on this fan virtually the same as medium on the older fans, but not an issue for us since high speed on the older fans was way too fast (and noisy).I installed 2 of these and have ordered 2 more. Since I install them myself, I pay particular attention to ease of installation. Instructions are clear and the motor used is much lighter than older fans that I've installed. I also like that the motor housing is separated from the motor itself, making it much less clumsy to handle. Plus, the bracket design makes hanging the motor for wiring very easy. These are important factors when up on a step ladder. A couple of tips: your wiring housing must be level, assuming you are mounting the bracket to the housing. My first installation was to a housing that wasn't perfectly level and had to uninstall the fan and use the included wood screws to mount to the stud. The fan mount is square and flat vs. the traditional round ball. Also, make sure you push the wires well up into the bracket area. Another disassembly was required due to the spinning motor rubbing against a wire causing a slight noise.

This is a great fan and very attractive too. Fan is quiet and effective. Light fixture is good. My husband installed and didn't seem to have any trouble.

Other than my old house wiring the Fan was pretty easy to install and came with all necessary parts. It might be larger than I need but I kinda like that and its doing exactly what I wanted which is pushing the warm air from the wood stove into the rest of the house, It is very quiet. I love the style and the LED lights and Amber globe provide perfect lighting for the room not to bright or shining in your face like the candelabra types.I accidentally ordered 2 of these, 1 on Amazon and the other directly from Hunter, I got the 1 from Hunter after I already installed the other. I contacted Hunter and they graciously let me return it for a full refund minus shipping cost, but they provided me with prepaid shipping label to return it. Excellent Customer service. I can see why they are the top rated fans on the market.

I love hunter fans. This is my fourth one to buy to install in my new home and will add two more as I continue finishing my basement. Very easy to install and looks fantastic. Super quiet as well.

This fan does not make a statement and that is exactly what I wanted. It mostly just blends into the ceiling. The paint is fairly uniform shade of white across the housing and blades, although the blades have less sheen. The glass light cover is uniform in shade and neutral in color. There is a small gap between the top of the housing and the ceiling that casts a shadow, but it isn't bad. The two included LED light bulbs are 800 lumens, 9W, and soft white (3000K) in color.On the lowest setting, it is nearly silent. There is no AC motor hum and only the slightest of bearing noise, making it great for nighttime use in the bedroom. Even on higher settings, the motor hum is nearly inaudible.Installation wasn't as easy as other fans, including older model Hunter fans, that I've installed. The most difficult part was getting my wiring connections back up into the ceiling box. When the motor was sitting in the cradle of the ceiling mount, there wasn't much room to get my hand in there to push the wires and caps through the small opening in the mount. If I held the mount off to the side by hand, a ground wire would pull free. Also, the side pull chain will get tangled in the plastic washer for the light shade as you are almost done tightening it. On the plus side, all of the parts came well organized and they included a bag of extra bolts.Speaking of chains, the pull action on the center chain controlling the light was nice and smooth. The same cannot be said of the side chain controlling the fan speed, especially when compared to older Hunter fans I've owned.Had installation of this fan been easier, it would have been 5 stars. I recommend it, but just be prepared for a little frustration.

This fan is great, but there were a couple of complications in the install I wanted to make sure people were aware of.1. This fan WILL NOT MOUNT on anything but a 4-inch box. If you're not sure that you can replace from a smaller box, please don't bother. Luckily I was able to replace the boxes after a Home Depot trip and some serious adjustments.2. This fan does NOT self-level or self-center. You will need to install DEAD-LEVEL. Also despite my efforts the fan was naturally unbalanced, so I had to use the included kit to adjust.Working solo, the boxes took about 2 1/2 hours to mount, the fans about 1 hour to mount (had to do one 3 times, the other twice to fix leveling issues), and about 45 minutes each to balance. Despite being pretty handy, these were a pain in the ***. Total time I spent was 9 hours to install.That being said, the build quality is absolutely superb. Everything is well-machined and built. Nothing is flimsy, including the pull-ties, the bowl, the blades, and the mounting hardware. Can't recommend it enough, but especially in an older house, be aware of the long install time.

Had a hard time finding a 52-60" fan locally that had a close to ceiling mount. This fan mounts tight to the ceiling, looks good, is very quiet on all three speeds, and required no blade balancing. Would I buy it again, yes.I chose to add a remote control to the fan which was easy to wire up but tricky to mount the receiver portion under the motor canopy. Had to attach to side of the mounting bracket via tie-wraps in order to keep the receiver and wiring from contacting the spinning motor. Would I wire in a remote again.... maybe but it would require Advil and beers.
