Questions & Answers

According to what I have read, you cannot clean the inside of the Do you believe that to be ?

The cleaning process is very easy. The band/screw connector is located at the bottom of the blade unit once you identify it (quickly) Due to the way the front grill clips onto the back grill, there is no issue. Both the grill and the band have been washed multiple times in the dishwasher. Hand wash and dry) I have had my fan since 2004 and at the time, it cost about $100 and I thought it was a great deal. I have owned this product for over 12 years and it has been in windows, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms. It was briefly in my office, but still looks and runs well. Rust is accumulating on the screw at the bottom of the band and on the inside of the band- However, that arose from extended use in a steamy bathroom, and also from using the dishwasher for quite a while. I have had this for twelve years, and I am here to see if Hunter makes a smaller version that I can replace, once again, the numerous desk fans I have gone through over the

When it comes to tilt, how much is there?

This fan tilts forward and back about 20 degrees, but its height is very adjustable. It is very quiet and easy to maintain, but what makes it stand apart from the rest is its beauty.

Is there a need for AA batteries with this?

The plug is connected to an electrical The device does not run on batteries.

Whenever I oscillate to the right side, my new fan bogs down. The motor appears to slow down when returning, but it resumes normally when I Do you know anyone else who has ?

This was something I had to deal with. One day it finally This is my fifth birthday. It is a poor product for the price. You are paying for the best looking small oscillating fan aesthetic here. The humor is great GE vintage fans designed in the 60s and still running well into the 90s were available to me. That's too bad. An insult on top of an Considering how dull I am, I might take the chance of buying a second in the hopes that it might last a whopping 7 years this time.

There is a problem with the A great customer service experience
3/5

Mine died when it was just 35 days old. In turn, it sped up and slowed down on its own, dying a slow death. This process finally came to a full stop and has not even attempted to restart itself.
I called Hunter repair 1 in order to get a quote for the repair Contact us 8888 It is 830 They had me check the fuse in the plug adapter after replacing part number 1326 (as listed in the warranty). out fine. Because this product is no longer manufactured, they were unable to send me a new one. Instead, they sent me to the Hunter Home Care team for assistance. Fan refurbishment and distribution is carried out by this department. There are 880-plus that I had checked the fuse and it had been 35 days since it failed. In the end, he asked for my name and address, and said he would send a replacement immediately. The call probably lasted no more than a minute, which gave me a shock when I heard that. In their opinion, the replacement is scheduled to arrive in 3 to 4 weeks The turnaround time is five Here's an update About six months ago, I received a fan from Hunter that had been refurbished I called you seven days after I called. I am extremely impressed by the quality of this refurbished fan, it looks brand new and works fine. This has to be one of the best customer service experiences I have had in a very long time. Nice work, Hunter.

China is now the source of this product
3/5

The one we already have has been made in China. It is completely different than what we have now. The state of Tennessee is not in the United States. This is a dramatic loss of As a result of our good experience with the Original, we bought two more. Air moves more efficiently through this fan. This is not a cast metal, it is a sheet metal made from very thin metal, not cast. The fan blade cage is A rattle sounds. I've reached the end of my Hunter product line. We have updated. We will celebrate our first anniversary on 1 September 2018. Sadly, he passed away tonight, he was bought April 27th. I would not recommend purchasing this product! You won't get anything besides a paper weight if you don't want it. This item has a warranty of 4 months. A total waste of time and money.

For 37 days, there has been no maintenance
3/5

I purchased this fan 37 days after it arrived (7 days after the return period ended) and it has ceased to oscillate on middle speed (the blades do not turn, the fan does not What will it oscillate between low and high speeds for how long is unknown? Sadly, we can't even make or sell a decent fan anymore, even if it costs less than $55 Normally $60. 00, now discounted to $60. I took my chances because I wanted them to be good, especially considering I bought two more and others as well. Other customers also complained about these fans breaking after a short time, but I wanted to make sure they would be good. I haven't had a problem with the other two, but I am less convinced that they will last that long.

A follow up to my previous review. . . My fan stopped running completely at the middle speed probably a day or two after writing the above. I was past 30 when I wrote this Hunter Fans gave me an official return authorization during the Amazon 365-day return period. Hunter no longer offers a warranty for these models, my customer service representative explained to me. Having gone back and forth a bit, he reluctantly opened a claim for me and asked me to provide proof of purchase, and I sent it at once. It has been two weeks since the first week. . . . I don't know. My email to him is answered after he asks me for the manufacturer's date code below the fan, which I immediately provide. It has been two weeks since the first week. . . . I don't know. The next time I email him, he says he needs me to call some 800 number that has nothing to do with my case, but is still a completely You've got to be kidding me, right? Three of these fans were bought because they look good and they are Hunter fans, which I considered to be quality fans. We live in a changing world. No Hunter product will ever be bought by me.

This is a great disappointment, what a shame
3/5

As I read reviews regarding this product and being very happy with the older Century model from Hunter that looks very much like this product, I decided to order it despite my hesitancy. Wow! Even though Hunter has severely reduced the price of this unit - it remains above a fair market value. This guarantees the defective products (which cannot be refunded. FYI) has been truncated It is of lower quality too, and now it goes from high to low instead of the traditional other direction, although starting on high may mitigate complaints about the fan not starting at all as the cheapo bronze "bearings" begin to fail just like every other component of the fan. The worse part is that the blade is a cheap solution, which creates the wrong kind of turbulence. As a result, it is noisier and emits both a high pitch whistle and a low harmonic grumble, even at low speeds. It may be worthwhile for me to remove the blade from my old Century model and place it on this model. Almost fifteen years ago, Hunter was still a trusted name and the company offered good parts availability and service even if the prices were very inflated. You're pretty much on your own these days and may as well just buy a new one However, you may as well save a little money by purchasing a more affordable replacement, since Hunter has dumbed itself down to this level of quality. In that regard, I'm actually considering returning this one to give it a try on something different. Lastly, it should be noted that the screws in the base are indeed sharp and stick out excessively from the bottom as well. In terms of the feet, they're much harder than other parts of the body A grippy type of rubber (or perhaps a soft plastic, it's Don't put this fan on anything you don't want it to burn. You'll also need to be careful when you pick it up and move it since all of the metal is thinner now. On top of that, the guard cage on the cut ends is not well finished. Now that the power cord itself is stiffer, and the plug has a fuse, you can see that the motor is of low quality and that the electrical design is simplified (cheaper). You might want to stock up on spare fuses ahead of time since these don't always appear to be widely available. This looks like rubbed bronze but is a medium silver color with ugly swirls and a hint of copper at the ends). As someone who knows a lot about fans and motors and the details of manufacturing, I am aware of China's ability to produce high quality items, but Hunter has really flipped the middle finger at US consumers now. Find another one if their factory does not cooperate or does not have the ability to produce better quality. Despite tariffs, the cost savings here are very large so there should be some room to maintain at least some quality in a fan like this, or I'm sure most consumers would be willing to pay a little more for the quality since it now appears to In the state it is in, I think this is a big rip off and will likely be my last purchase from Hunter after decades of buying them for fans and ceiling fans alike. Even at $45 this would, in my opinion, be an expensive product purchase even if it lasted for a few years. I do maintain and repair these, but some of the contents in this unit are a waste of time to do so except as an emergency effort.
