Looking for a powerful fan for the bedroom that moves air well as I pretty much keep it on high year round. I’ve had hunter in the past just wanted to make sure I’m not missing out on bigger and better.

Not sure if they are the best but I have 4 of them running for about 7-8 years just about 24/7 with no issues.

I have some in every room except laundry and bathrooms since 1987 when we built our house. Ten foot ceilings. Usually just run them on low speed.
Living room, dining room, kitchen and 4 bedrooms.
No issues whatsoever.
Kitchen and living room get the most use.
Would buy again.

I've had Hunter fans in nearly every house and never a problem. Even the outdoor ones have yet to "sag" due to humidity.

Have had 3 running 24/7 for 14 years without any issues.

When we move I'm replacing them with build grade fans and taking them with me

just make sure you get the widest you can and lower the fan as low as you can, depending on your ceilings and you will be good with a hunter

Currently building and wondering the same. Sounds like hunter it is... is there a particular model or anything that makes one better? They seem to all look similar but vary in prices

I just had to replace a 4 year old hunter. It was great until it quit. Did some research and went with Casablanca DC Panama 6 Speed. DC motor uses less energy and on highest speed can almost blow the cushions off the sofa. $399.00 on sale

Big arse Fans make a great residential fan but just be ready to pay for it.

Been having some for the last 23 years and I have one that is just starting to act up. Speed control is going out. I could fix it, but fixing to redo the room and will just change it out.

We've only had issues with the light module going out on two of them. The fan motors haven't had issues yet. 3 or 4 fans stay on 24/7 going on about 4 years.

Haiku L. Their EC motors are better than even DC motors

I have two of the Haiku fans mounted on my outdoor patio and Hunter fans throughout my house. Haiku fans are much better fans but they cost 3-4x a Hunter fan.

A little more than I’m looking to spend. Think I’ll stick with hunter.
