Hunter - Bennett Indoor Ceiling Fan With Light, Remote, 52-inch, Matte Black, Rustic-style, 3-speed WhisperWind Motor, 54187, for Living Rooms, Bedrooms

The fan, while having a great build quality as well as fit and finish, did not meet our expectations. The lighting is too dim, and trying to use a brighter bulb isn't possible as it blinds you since the glass globe has no frosting on it. It is insufficient to properly light even a small room. On top of that, the fan only has 3-speed settings programmed. The lowest speed hardly moves any air at all, the medium speed is close to a normal high-speed setting, and the high-speed setting is obnoxiously fast. We also purchased the Lykke 52" fan which has a much better speed system, as well as a better lighting system built in. I wish I could recommend this fan, but I can't unless you don't plan to use the lighting, and only want a fast fan.

Purchased a Hunter #53393. The instructions were not user friendly and took me awhile to snap in the light fixture. After that I attempted to remove it to retighten one of the fan blades to the motor. To date, I cannot get the light kit removed from the motor housing. I'm beyond aggravated. The installation manual is not very informative. Can you please offer some guidance? Thank you

Low speed hum in both directions. Removed the fan and reinstalled it checking all connections and fasteners. I believe it is the motor because during the directional change when there is no movement, the motor still hums. I purchased this fan because of the Hunter name and reliability.

The beeping is very annoying (fixable if you google and are willing to void the warranty). Biggest problem is the inability to actually use 2 wall switches. The fan power line has to have constant power to make the fan or light usable. Horrible design and not explained at all in the literature.

We recently installed the three light version of this fan in the living room and it looks so good, I wanted to get the single light version for the master. Just installed and I was not disappointed. I did have issues with the dimming feature not working at first, but the answers to the questions here helped me fix it. I just held down both the up and down arrow buttons with the light on for 5 seconds and then was able to dim per the instructions card. The fan in the living room didn't have this issue- but it was installed on two switches. The bedroom was installed with one switch and does have the issue. I do wish the two switch option would have one switch power the light and the other switch power the fan- instead one is the master power to both fan and light and the other is only the light on/off. So you can't turn on the light without the fan with just the switches. However, the remote is easy enough to use and I installed it right next to the switches so it's not a big enough deal to me to take a star off.
