I’ve had the fan for nearly a year, and I can’t complain about the way it works. No problems. Lights: fine. Fan: fine. It’s been absolutely silent so that sometimes at night while I’m working on the computer in the dark, I have to turn on the light to know whether the fan is on or not. Buttttttttt … I do wish it looked better. I mean, its quality level is fine, but the design is starting to feel dated, or maybe it’s that it reminds me of generic fans. Do I sound like a spoiled fan snob? I’m not. Honestly, most of the time, I’m not looking at the ceiling and when I saw this review suggestion pop up, I had to remind myself that I even owned this fan (that I’m sitting under right now). But the main reason I purchased the fan was because it was much cheaper than the fans chosen for the great room and master bedroom, and yes, those fans are much more expensive, but I really love them. This fan? I like it, but I don’t likelike it. Still, it hasn’t broken on me even in the middle of a Deep South hot summer, so I recommend it to anyone who isn’t as persnickety about having a butterface fan like I am.

I owned two other Hunter ceiling fans (44″ Stonington’s from Home Depot) before purchasing the Summer Breeze Plus. My love for the Stonington fans prompted the purchase of the Summer Breeze Plus, however I do not love the SBPlus as much as I love the Stoningtons. According to the Hunter web site the SBPlus had the best air flow rating for 52″ fans, but the air does not flow anywhere near as well as it does with the Stoningtons. I’m not sure if it is the fault of the fan or the fault of the rectangular room. (The Stonington fans are in rooms that are almost square.) Otherwise, the New Bronze looks great, it is very quiet, and it does not wobble at all.

I purchased this fan for my living room. It’s now early spring and the fan has already paid for itself. In spite of several days when the temperature reached up to 90 degrees outside, this fan has kept us so cool, we haven’t had to turn on the central air conditioner yet. I bought a Hunter fan because I’ve never gotten a lemon with Hunter. This fan is whisper quiet, but moves a lot of air. A great fan at a great price!

We wanted a fan for the front room of our manufactured home to blow the heat down from the ceiling. I did a fair amount of research on the wed and went to Home Depot. We really wanted a QUIET fan. We had this one that was just so noisy (I think it was pretty cheap too). So low noise was a priority. Hunter fans have the 2nd best quality rating. After reading what to look for in a ceiling fan the Hunter Summer Breeze had the right qualifications at a GREAT price on Amazon. Had it installed a couple of nights ago. I can’t hear the motor of the fan and it does exactly what we needed it to do. Also we think it is very attractive.

I bought this Hunter fan because I thought it would add that ‘extra touch’ to the master bedroom. Looks great, but if I had known to check all pieces BEFORE the electrician started installing, it could have saved me a lot of money. These new fans have a squared ‘grid’ on the motor that snaps into the squared ‘grid’ on the light kit. The one on the motor was packaged so tightly that that plastic was bent, and we didn’t know this until the electrician had done all the work and was ready to install the light. So the fan was no good and had to be replaced. Amazon was great about FedExing me a replacement fan, but the electrician still had to be paid for his time. Not considering the time it took to take this down, package it back up, drag it to work for UPS to pick it up to mail it back to Amazon. Then the electrician has to be brought back to install the replacement fan. A lot of wasted money and time that could have been avoided if Hunter had packaged properly. By the way, got the Hunter remote with this (27185), and the fan and lights come on all times of the day and night. So now the electrician comes BACK to take out the remote component so that the fan can just work manually.
