Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 21617 Palermo 52-Inch Energy Star Brushed-Nickel Ceiling Fan with 5 Maple/Cherry Blades
Customer Review: Do NOT BUY this Hunter fan until you have installed 7 units and used it before
Summary: 1 Stars
I have bought 7 of these units from a wholesaler and installed it in my new home. The unit has good aesthetics and does look cool as mentioned by others. Had problem with 6 of the seven units with the remote control ability of the fan. The fan rotates its blade faster by itself and also turns "on" or "off" its lights when it is suppose to be off giving a feeling of a 'haunted" home. Imagine when you have turned off the lights at night but then wake up to a room with fan lights shining on your eyes !!. The electronic circuit design engineer must have very basic design experience in the remote circuitry to prevent such type of false triggers. Imagine if this same guy worked for an alarm company, it will result in the closure of the company overnight!
Called their technical support but was told to change to a different setting and I did what they want but the problem still persists. Tried to reach them again to hopefully get an updated and improved version (assuming that their latest product has improvements) but have got NO response yet to date. Will keep the die hard fans here updated.
Customer Review: Do not buy this product.

I installed four of these fans in my house 3 years ago. The remote control receiver unit inside the fan has stopped working on two of the four units. Please search the internet becasue many others have had the same problem. It is not a frquency setting issue: it is an electronics issue with the control board. Hunter does not stand behind the design problem and will charge an excessive price for the replacement part. The part is also difficult to replace becasue the fan has to be removed from the ceiling to access the part.Customer Review: Frank NC

After reading many of the reviews for this fan, I have to tell you the fan looks great and runs very quietly. I understand some folks had some issues with the install, I had an electrician friend install mine and heard no complaints from him regarding the instructions. He did say not to use a dimmer switch for the fan, it will cause a vibration sound. Other than that, the fan was worth the money.Customer Review: Good till it breaks

I've had mine for 2 years when the receiver stopped working. I've had this happen with other fans so it was not a big deal, but here is the problem: Spare parts can only be found from hunter for this model, not homedepot or lowes.
After a month of struiggling with the fan, getting spare parts and replacement parts from hunter and spending more than it would cost me to get a new fan, the damn thing still does not work. The fan works fine, but the light does not.
At this point, I am taking it to the back yard for a good beating and replacing it with a new fan.
Customer Review: Good value
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought 3 of these to put in our master bedroom, living room, and the family room. The fan is attractive, quiet and has light as well as the reverse function. For the price, I think the fan is a good buy, no question.
A minor complaint is that the light is fluorescent and quite harsh.
