Absolutely, the best fan on the market. It’s a standard for every other fan to follow. Whisper quiet, no wobble, distinctive sophisticated look without clutter.

The rugged build of the Hunter ‘Origina’ fan shows with the 50lb. electric motor and it’s oil bearing, allowing the fan to last decades. My friend and i found a wood beam under the ceiling drywall and fastened fan to supplied hook and grommet system. The 52” blades are well balanced with matching blade weight numbers, but have shims that balance blades in case of rare wobble. These fans have been made over a century and this fan will outlast me in my 60’s and in my will. When Energy Star certification was started, the Hunter ‘Original’ fans were the first appliances certified and with the highest efficiency rating for electricity used. It saves energy when energy when costs are rising. Michael C. Paradise CA. 4-5-2024…

Very Well Made

While it is pricey, and while it might be difficult to install it due to its weight, there are few, if any fans produced today that come close to the quality and durability of this fan.

This fan replaced its forerunner fan, put in the house when it was built in 1987. It costs more than more trendy models, but lasts much longer.

We got the gray and absolutely love the color! The fans put out a lot of air. You get cold quickly. There is a separate light fixture you can get for this fan if you want that.

Keep your receipt or your warranty will be denied

Great fans but horrible company. We bought 12 of the expensive originals due to the lifetime motor warranty 20+ years ago. One of them wasn't functioning and needed replacing according to an associate via their customer service. I don't have receipts from when I bought them but can prove I'm the only person to ever live in this house with 12 of them. They offered me a 30% discount on a new one but said they'd send a free replacement if I'd have kept the receipt. What a joke!

Bad warranty

They won't honor warranty unless you have original receipt. Fake lifetime warranty.

Fake warranty

Slow speed stopped working after 20 plus years. Hunter fan company agrees fan motor is bad but won't honor warranty without 20 year old receipt. I offered to give sworn statement I am original owner and purchaser but they won't honor warranty. I am very unhappy about fake warranty.

With regard to the fan only, I have two other Hunter ceiling fans that seem to more efficient at moving the air.

Still running after 25 years

I have a Hunter Original Fan that is > 25 years old. It is the finest fan and continues to run 24/7 for the last 23 years. There is nothing like the Original Fan. There is nothing like this fan.

Classic Looking durable fans that last decades

I have several of these fans and 2 are over 20 years old. These are the nicest looking classic fans that are work horses. You just need to oil them once a year and I have changed the blades once.

How to improve a Arts and Crafts ceiling fan

The original Hunter fan is perfect as a ceiling fan that blends perfectly with the surrounding walls and ceiling!

Classic, timeless design

In my 30 years of home ownership Hunter Original fans are the only ceiling fans I have installed. And I have never had one fail. I changed oil in my fans once in those thirty years. This fan creates more air flow than any other fan I've seen. The Hunter Original will cost you, but you'll have a classic design in a cast iron housing that will last you the life of your home.

Best fan EVER! Worth every penny. Electrician who...

Best fan EVER! Worth every penny. Electrician who installed it was impressed, too!

Fan motor does not work

Not happy. Lumens need to replace the fan. Customer service questionable. This was my fourth fan from Lumens it but may be our last.

Not as good as the first one we bought

Bought 7 years ago and still works but……it has never put out the air like the one in our bedroom. Same fan, different color is the only difference. I highly dislike the blade material of all of them. We are in the Caribbean where it is hot and humid and these are not solid wood, therefore they swell and come apart and look awful. The fan on the veranda has plastic blades and they hold up, although the fan quit. At the price of these, plus shipping, VAT and duty doubling the price, I am disappointed in all but the one in our bedroom. It is the only one that has really worked well. We did not buy from Hunter, but from reputable companies.

Perfect for a restoration project !

I purchased 5 of these fans when I restored a 125 year old home in Key West Fl. They truly are the best you can buy, I think I only added some oil to the motors after the 10th year, they continue to perform beautifully.

Hunter Original Fan

This fan is awesome! Capital Lighting is the best! Highly recommend!

Happy

Happy with this fan and arrived in time. Classic design and works well. Used this a lot during summer and it's attractive and functional. Arrived fast and would recommend. Easy to use and install, and put a schoolhouse light kit along with it. Elevated the look even more.
