Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 22434 Sontera Three-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with Frosted GlobesCustomer Review: Solid Fan, Disappointing Transmitter Summary: 2 Stars
Hunter makes quality fans. I chose this fan because I wanted to remotely control the fan speed and light in my guest BR. I have a Minka Aire remote controlled fan in my master BR and wanted to install something similar on the same house level in the guest BR. This fan seemed like the perfect solution since the wireless transmitter feature is worth about $40, making the fan cost reasonable.
I had an electrician professionally install it. The build quality is great on this fan. However, after a few days of use I noticed this fan is "possessed"! My fan for no apparent reason would switch to the highest fan speed from the lowest. Sometimes when the fan was on with the light off, the light would turn itself on. #$%!@*+. I checked the manual and it wasn't clear what the problem was. I contacted my electrician and he suggested I change the jumpers around to another setting. To do this requires the following: (1) cut power to fan from the breaker box, (2) remove battery from remote control (VERY important), (3) change jumpers in remote control, (4) DISASSEMBLE fan to get to transmitter in base, (5) change jumpers in base to match the remote control, (6) reassemble fan, (7) restore power. Failure to follow these steps in this order means that your code change will not work. Now you could imagine your mood if you had to do this dance more than once, which I did. I called Hunter Support and they informed me that I didn't need to use all three jumper pins. I could use one, two, or three, so long as the remote control code matched the transmitter code in the base. The Hunter manual did not explicitly state this.
I should note that I have NEVER had any remote interference problems with my Minka Aire fan. If you install this fan consider lining the walls of the room with foil to avoid any interference. Keep in mind interference can be from any RF device, whether it's your wireless modem, another fan, or telephone system. If it's within a 500' range, it could interfere, even if it's a device from your neighbor doing the interfering. I gave this fan two stars because the build of the fan is great, but the implementation of the transmitter and support for the fan was very poor. If I were to do this again I would get a non-remote controlled fan from Hunter, have it wired with three-way wire, and just use the pull chains for control.

Savings without Sacrifice We all want a cleaner, greener planet, and Hunter fans like the Sontera can help. By using this fan throughout the year, you can significantly decrease your personal energy use without sacrificing comfort. Unlike air conditioners or portable heaters, most ceiling fans use approximately as much power as a 100-watt light bulb, and they rely on the simple process of circulating air rather than chemicals, making them an ecofriendly cooling and heating option. When run clockwise in the winter and counterclockwise in the summer, they can save you money in utility bills all year-round. At the same time, they take up less standing floor space than most conventional floor fans or air conditioners, and add style to any room. Warranty Information The Hunter Sontera 52-Inch Ceiling Fan is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
