Hunter 59445 Dempsey Ceiling Fan 44 inches Noble Bronze

The media could not be loaded. We had a 4-bulb fan in our kitchen that hung down lower and had open canned lights and pull chains. Wanted something that was a low profile and easier to clean. We actually ordered this fan in both the white color and the black and stainless combination which would match our current appliances. Both are nice quality fans with good color and the white was not a super bright white, so it worked with our color scheme. This was a discounted fan I believe a warehouse purchase, but it was perfect and my husband had no trouble installing it. It is connected to two switches, and it works perfectly on the one switch but on the switch I used in the video it flickers a tiny bit at the beginning. I really like that you can turn the fan on to any of the speeds or off without having to cycle through all the speeds. It is quiet, and it practically disappeared on our kitchen ceiling, which is exactly what I was looking for. In some ways we miss having four bulbs instead of two, but I do not miss, staring directly into a bulb and having the sleek glass cover with slightly less light is fine for us, because we have other light over all our workspaces. I had this fan in my cart for over a year and I wish that I had bought it a long time ago. It was definitely worth it.

I am so excited about the look of this fan! It is perfect and very low profile for our low ceiling nursery room. The fan we replaced did not have a remote, so that will take a bit of getting used to, but not having the pull chain hanging down helps my husband from walking into it all the time AND it looks so much more appealing. I did take someone else's advice about having the Hunter logo face AWAY from the door and I am so happy I did, its a little large and in silver with black, it stands out a lot.Ok so onto the install. This is fairly easy as long as you have a basic idea of how electrical wiring works. White to white, green to green, etc. PLEASE make sure you have the circuit breaker off so you don't electrocute yourself! It took my husband about 60-90 minutes to install the whole thing. The directions were simple and easy to follow.We tried to test that the fan was working once that portion was installed. Keep in mind, the lights were not hooked up yet, so it was NOT a complete circuit. We found out, the unit does NOT function unless the entire thing is put together. We spent a solid 20 minutes up and down the stairs and adjusting wires. So avoid the hassle and install the whole thing and hope for the best! If you need to take parts off, it really isn't that hard.My husband installed the fan blades without the washers and I was worried they would be extra noisy, but no issue. Once we got it all together, we discovered the remote was NOT paired like it was supposed to be. No big issue, the directions tell you exactly what to do, we followed them and it worked great.Lastly, I thought the lights were supposed to be dimmable, however. they are not. I saw some other reviews suggest how to make them dimmable, I will try those steps and update. Our fan is on a dimmable dial instead of a switch, so I'm wondering if that is part of the problem.Overall, this fan looks modern and updated. The install was fairly simple and was easily done with one person (I was very good at supervising). The various fan speeds are great, I can't imagine we would ever use the high function, it literally created WIND in the small room! The fan is quiet, even without washers to hold the blades in place and the light is bright but not annoyingly so. I would definitely recommend and I am planning on slowly replacing all the fans in our home with these!!

I like how it looks and works so well that I bought a second one for a different room. Very quiet. Remote is probably the best design for a remote control I've ever seen. Easy to tell what you are doing in the dark because of the shape and feel, and simple operation. My only suggestion for improvement has to do with the first part you install (a ring that connects to your ceiling box): It would be nice if it was about 2 or 3 inches larger in diameter. The small diameter results in the 'feet' that contact the ceiling drywall not quite reaching the edge of the hole, and so it fits unevenly. I may just use it like this but I recommend that if you buy this you buy a small sheet of aluminum and cut it into a ring to act like a giant fender washer to provide a solid and level surface to tighten against.
