Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 21617 Palermo 52-Inch Energy Star Brushed-Nickel Ceiling Fan with 5 Maple/Cherry Blades
Customer Review: big dissapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
This fan arrived with some screws missing -- maybe reconditioned? I bougth it as "new" Got the missing screws at the harware store and mounted the fan. It had a very distinct/loud humming sound (not "silent" as Hunter claims). It also wobbles badly even at medium speed, something that coud not be corrected even with the kit included. I notified Amazon and will be returning this item as "defective".Customer Review: hunter palermo

Easy to install once you figured what screws to use for certain parts. Took about an hour to install the first and 30 minutes to install the second. The Fan is quiet smooth and moves air well.Customer Review: Very nice fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an older two story home built in 1967 and the upstairs ceilings are just under 8 feet high. There aren't many modern looking fans that work on a lower ceiling. The huggers that I've found all have the same look of the brass fluted case with the flower shaped lights. Was looking for something modern and a bit more masculine and this was the one.
TIP: Make sure you use a standard light switch with it instead of a dimmer switch. First time I put it up it hummed like crazy, I was really bummed. Then I did some searching and found on the hunter site they say not to use a dimmer switch, that will cause the humming.
Also the light is either on or off and it's a florescent light. I did find the GE Kitchen and Bath natural light which looks good, just takes getting used to. Doesn't quite give you that warm glow like the standard incandescent light bulb.
Customer Review: Bad quality, the fan failed after three days
Summary: 1 Stars
The name Hunter is supposed to be a reference in fans. Well this one did not live up to its reputation. Although installed by a qualified and experienced electrician, it only lasted three days. I am a very disappointed customer.Customer Review: Very Solid Fan
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this fan because of the great contemporary styling and remote control. Almost bought it at Home Depot for $280 but then found one on-line for about $200. FYI, Costco occasionally sells what seesm to be this same fan (only in their warehouse) for $139, but they call it the Hunter Westside. I just bought my second and third ones to replace my dated fans. I had to change some dip switches so that one remote doesn't control all three at once.
There is a slight delay when turning the light on and off and the light quality isn't the greatest for high usage, since it is a cicrular flourescent lamp.
The fan seems to have a light hum to it, but is otherwise very smooth, stable and quiet. I was hoping to learn the signal for my universal remote, but it is radio frequency versus infrared and not possible. RF is the better quality, since it doesn't require a direct line of sight. Overall I would highly recommend this fan, particularly if you can pay $140 versus $280.
