Hunter 59244 Dempsey Low Profile Fresh Ceiling Fan with Light and Remote (44 inch, White)

Love this fan!! So we’ll built! Perfect for the room we put it in! If I ever need to replace any other fan in my house, I will choose this one! Super simple to install...looks great! Quiet and just right!

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!!

Estoy contenta con este ventilador. Voy a comprar un segundo. Pero no recibir un suporte por el remoto control. Hay? Necisito dos.

I love the nice sleek finish of the fan. The light is dimmable, so it goes from a nice bright, clean light, down to quite dim. Remote can be paired so two fans can be controlled by one remote or individually. Fan is silent and even on the lowest speed has great air circulation. I bought and had 3 installed. All work great.

Bought to replace a larger ceiling fan without remote in a 10x12 bedroom with 8 foot ceilings. The fan is contemporary and blends nicely into the white ceiling. On high the fan does a nice job of moving air. However, at the sides of the room I do not feel much airflow. Since this is over a bed the fan is perfect. If your room is larger you might want to choose a model with longer fan blades. The remote is nicely designed and includes a holder that fits over the current wall switch plate and still allows access to the existing wall switch. Dimmer function on light cycles between bright to dim, I would rather have a toggle (Lo -High) switch. There are three separate speed buttons 1 - 2 - 3 and 0 for Off Installation was about an hour. You need to have an existing ceiling box specified for a ceiling fan. The fan does not include the bolts to attach the fan mounting plate to the ceiling box (these are usually supplied with a ceiling fan mounting electrical box). The directions are complete but confusing. They include numbered steps with clear diagrams. However within each numbered steps are sub steps with text in rectangles which are not lettered such as 1A 1B 1C. Thus it is easy to miss a sub step that you must follow from left to right within the numbered section. If you have solid electrical power wires, such as Romex, you will want to strip additional insulation off of the fan wires which are copper stranded, before connecting or placing on the ceiling mount. Be careful one on the wires is an antenna for the remote. Installation requires that you also have to connect the remote receiver into the cap. Study the wiring instructions in advance. You hook the fan onto the ceiling plate to connect wires then raise fan to ceiling plate and attach screws. Each fan blade is attached with 3 separate screws. This was not easy. The fan blade has to be held against the attachment area within the fan base, that is black and angled. In order to line up the screws I had a friend shine a flashlight into the base of the fan so the light reflected through the screw holes from above. This made lining up the holes easier but the screws are flat head machine screws so you have to line everything up correctly. The fan is quiet on high and no fan blade noise. However, there is a faint motor hum. The motor is very quiet but I did notice the sound but very faint. I have another ceiling fan with a DC motor and it's silent. Overall, very happy with the fan. Hunter emblem is attached to side of fan housing. Did not see a way to remove it, but you can install fan ceiling mount base plate so emblem faces the direction you wish.
