Looks great, quiet, not a five minute install! Directions for the wiring are really bad, not enough detail, but I figured it out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Time will tell how well this fan works over the long run. For now, it is very quiet, circulates air well, and is attractive. I would have given it five stars for now if it were not for POOR quality hardware and wiring instructions that were incorrect, necessitating removal and reinstallation.. Installation & reinstallation took about 3 hours. The install would have also been faster if Hunter provided good-quality screws instead of screw-once Phillips-head long screws for securing the base bracket to the ceiling box. Not only did the Phillips head get ruined about the first time my screwdriver cammed out, but the screw actually bent! I'm really not that strong! I had to install these screws with vicegrips. Once reinstalled, the fan ran smoothly and was balanced without my having to add balance weights.
As far as the wiring, the instructions imply that the black/white wire goes to the fan. For the single-switch configuration, following the instructions will give you a fan where the light has to be turned on/off by the chain only, and the wall switch controls the fan. I reinstalled with black/white wire going to the light instead and all worked well (light controlled by wall switch).
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this model a little over 3 years ago, and until about 4 months ago, I was satisfied. Then the light stopped working. After some troubleshooting on my own, I found that I needed a new switch housing. I figured since it was clearly built to be easily replaced, Hunter or Home Depot would be able to get me a replacement switch housing. Apparently the model has changed in the three years (though it's identical to the one I have and comes in an identical box), and they no longer manufacturer the part. Hunter's solution is to buy a whole new fan (a a discounted rate) to fix the problem, despite the fact that only the light is not working. Decent fan, works well, but if something goes bad, do not expect to be able to replace any parts. Three year life on a fan seems rather short to me, even at this price point.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Over the last 30yrs, Hunter was the only brand ceiling fan that I would purchase. Most of them are still working like the day I took them out of the box. This is the 1st of several Hunter fans that I have bought that has this humming sound when it is on low or medium speed. To loud to ignore, I would return it, but had faith that it would be great and threw away the packaging. Design is great, as it usually is. Very disappointing that the quality just doesn't seem to be what I usually get when I purchase a Hunter fan. Easy to install eye catching beauty but noisy.
Hunter, what happened?
No, I do not recommend this product.

this fan is really gorgeous I just love the way it looks in my dinette, I opted to use the light wood side and it just looks wonderful. I didn't install it myself I had my contractor install after work was done on the ceiling and although it was installed in the wrong room initially he reinstalled it and said it was no trouble at all and took no time to do.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought 2 of these fans and had them installed by a professional electrician. One was installed in my bedroom and the other in my living room. Let me start by saying this is a gorgeous fan. It's substantial and the brushed nickel looks very modern. The living room fan has a wobble at medium and high speeds and the bedroom fan has no wobble at all. They were installed the same way by the same person. Thank God the wobble fan is not in my bedroom or I would've replaced it for sure. The 5-minute fan claim is pretty hilarious. Interesting marketing. Perhaps they are referring to how long it takes to remove the fan from the box?
Yes, I recommend this product.

We bought this fan for our downstairs living room. What stood out to me when we picked it out in the store was the interesting shape of the fan blades, and we also liked the brushed nickel finish. The fan is definitely NOT a 5 minute installation. My husband has installed many fans in the past and it took him almost an hour to install total. The fan makes our room look a lot richer and stylish. Our only complaint is when it is time to change the light bulbs out you will have to remove the entire glass globe. The ceiling fan chain also funnels through the glass.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great fan! It's elegant, it's silent and it has enough light for our greatroom (over 20x20). If you have vaulted ceilings you will probably want to buy a 12" down rod for it(save you a 2nd trip), but it looks great and runs great. Installation process is NOT 5 minutes. It's a 2 person job, you have to have someone hold it up there while the other connects the wires. Completely happy with it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have installed 8 of these fans in various apartments that I own...they make a VERY nice first impression for prospective tenants....easy to install, not five minutes... :) even number 8 still took a half hour...but straight forward and much simpler than other fans...blade installation saves the most time...like them, will continue to buy them...hope price continues to drop over time..

This fan looks nice but it doesn't have too much power, it's really slow and don't move a lot of air. I'm going to change it bc I would like a real fan not one that just looks nice.

This was an easy install but I would not call it a "5 minute fan install". The fan looks great and goes up with ease. I am considering another one now that I can see how much I will enjoy this model.

Hunter quality, fan is quiet, smooth running. High speed moves alot of air. Setup takes longer than 5 minutes. I like that it uses regular light bulbs. The fan comes with CFL bulbs which is a nice touch. (Energy Efficent)

SIMPLE PROJECT, HAPPY HOMEOWNER!
,PostedJune 6, 2011
My first experience installing a ceiling fan was a disaster, but I decided to give this 5-minute fan a try. It was so easy that I went out and bought two more! The directions are great--just think for a second about what it's telling you to do. The price, appearance, ease of installation, air movement and quiet motor leave me a very satisfied customer. If there is a negative to this fan, it would be the difference in fan speeds. The medium speed is a bit slow for my liking and doesn't seem much different from the lowest speed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 18 for Stratford 52 in. Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan
Overall rating
Great Fan for the Price.
,PostedJune 3, 2011
The fit and finish of this fan is very good and its doesn't have that cheap cheesy look as some of the others in its price range. I installed the fan in a little over an hour by myself. The directions are fairly easy to follow and the only tool I used was a phillips screwdriver any DIYer should be able to do this. At its highest speed the fan can be felt throughout the room and there is minimal noise, just of the fan blades moving the air no motor noise.
The light fixture looks very good in person and provides very good light in our bedroom (two 14 watt CFL bulbs are included). This was a major concern since I took down the overhead light in the room to install this fan. Buy this fan if you need good overhead lighting.

Review 19 for Stratford 52 in. Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan
Overall rating
Poor quality fan.
,PostedMay 20, 2011

I purchased and began to install this fan. After being 95% installed, I discover the light fixture had the wrong sized screws. The ones supplied did not fit the mount. I went to the store, found the size of the supplied UTS screw, bought the only smaller non-metric size, and it still didn't fit.
Regardless, I connected the electrical portion of the light mount with controls to test the fan. It ran fine for a minute, but then began making a low-pitched hum and the rotational velocity slowed to a crawl.
I packed it up and returned it to the store. I purchased a second identical one, as I already had the mount up. This one had the correct screws, but has the same loud low-pitched humming when the ran is operating. The original room fan had operated quietly for 25 years.
I will not give this fan manufacturer / model a third chance.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Stratford Ceiling Fan
,PostedMay 5, 2011
I purchased two of these fans for our bedrooms last year. They were easily assembled and installed. For the size of these fans they are very quiet and circulate the room air very well. I have found them to be beneficial for both summer and winter use with the reversal rotation option. These fans will be my choice for the replacement of the livingroom fan in the very near future.
Yes, I recommend this product.
