Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 25522 54-Inch Sanibel Ceiling Fan, New Bronze
Customer Review: very frustrated with design of light kit
Summary: 2 Stars
We had to replace two outside fans and really thought these were unique. My husband had a difficult time installing them, but we especially had trouble with the light kit. Glass against Metal connection was scary to install on the first fan, but we got it in after a couple of tries. The second fan, however, was another story. We tried and tried and after breaking a couple of CFLs (the one they provide must be the smallest available on the market because every other one we tried was too big to get the globe to fit) we finally got it into place only to have it come crashing to the ground when we tried to feed through the chains. Called Hunter and the globe was on backorder for two months. Should have returned both fans to amazon right then, but we decided to wait for the new globe. The new globe arrived with the same problem (it is out of round at the connection point). Attempted to install anyway and broke the glass where it connects (again, glass against metal and twisting to connect -- really, Hunter?? Really?? VERY POOR DESIGN!!) Called Hunter again and after being put on hold, being told I would receive a call, and calling again I finally got someone who was willing to replace the entire fan, but I would have to pay to ship the first one back. Again, should have returned them when I had the chance through Amazon!! I finally worked my way up the chain and the manager is going to find a globe that fits into the light kit and send both parts to replace our current light kit. I'm really hoping it works and we don't have anymore broken glass on our patio.Customer Review: unique and quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the Hunter Sanibel ceiling fan for a couple months. It is uniquely beautiful. I have had to make many purchase decisions during our home remodel, and the decision to purchase this beautiful fan is one of the best decisions I have made. It hangs at the top of a high stairwell and it was not an easy place to install a fan. It is very quiet, has 3 speeds and the cloth sail cloth blades fit in with my coastal beach house. I did go to home depot and purchase a remote control to operate the fan and light, at a cost of almost $50.00. I also purchased a 12inch extending rod so that it hung lower from the vaulted ceiling I have. It is fairly easy to assemble. Hire a pro to install it.Customer Review: I love the fan but not happy with Amazon.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the fan but I'm not happy with Amazon. I thought I was getting a good deal on this gorgeous and unique fan until I saw the same fan at a local Menards (Hardware and home-improvement store) in Indianapolis for $74 less. Since I'm supposed to be reviewing the product and not my purchase experience from Amazon... I'll continue. I bought the fan to hang outside under a pergola. So, it was important that the fan is rated for wet locations and this fan is just that. In addition, it is more powerful that I thought and quiet. The sails are different and nice looking. Overall, I'll give the fan 10 out of 10!Customer Review: Not for outdoor use
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 2 of these fans 2 years ago for under my pergola's. The material on the fan blades fell apart after 1 1/2 years. There is no reason other than the material is poor quality. I called Hunter and they sent out new blades which my husband had to install and it was VERY difficult. The material was the same so I will have the same problem 2 years from now. I am having replacement sails made out of Sunbrella. Hunter would not give me alternate blades or a replacement fan. I wish I knew then what I know now. I just want to save someone else from the same problems.Customer Review: Too hard to install
Summary: 3 Stars
While it looks cool this fan is extremely heavy and tricky to install so it requires 2 people. My husband and I (who have both successfully installed fans before) both felt that there were serious design flaws that made it unnecessarily difficult to get it onto the ceiling and attached properly. I won't even go into the fact that now that we have it up it doesn't work so we're going to have to take it all down and try to figure out what's wrong (we added a remote so that may be it). That however will have to wait a few weeks until my husband calms down.
