Ok fan - will do for now
Are You: Customer
I purchased this fan for my 1960 home hoping it would fit the mcm vibe. It was easy to install and works for now but we will probably purchase something different in the future. Our biggest complaint is the hum it makes and also the lowest setting is not very low. Living in tx we use our fans a lot and most times we just need a little air movement vs a breeze. Because there is no low setting this fan stays off most of the time.

Exactly what I wanted!

Comments about Presto Ceiling Fan
This can has the exact aesthetic I was looking for in my son's room, but it could be used anywhere. The price is such a bonus - I might order another one!
Sleek and super quiet!

hunterfan.comJust wanted to let everyone know, if you have two fans in a large room connected to one switch on the wall, supposedly the turn knob switch that comes with the fan will not control two fans (per inquiry with tech support), I have not connected the two fans to the one knob switch that came with the fan, and I need to figure out what to do next in order to get the two fans to come on (tech support has not been helpful at this point). Also there seems to be a typo in the instructions on the dimensions. A Low Profile dimension is listed in the instructions for this fan, but that LP dimension is not achievable when installed. However, the Low Profile version of this fan shows the same dimension as this fan, but does not show in the specs the Low Profile dimension. It's very misleading if you're concerned with getting the fan as tight to the ceiling as possible. I believe the LP fan will sit higher up from the floor (hang closer to the ceiling) Also the fan balanced well on some of my installations. I installed 4 of these fans, 3 of the 4 balanced well. Then I needed to make an electrical modification to one of the 4 fans requiring me to "drop" the fan from hanging bracket, and after I rehung the fan and turned it on, it too had a balancing issue but didn't have a balance issue upon initial installation. I believe it may be due to how tight the hanging bracket is to screwed to the ceiling, but have not tested this theory yet. The hanging bracket "squeezes" in when tightening the screws to the j-box. Overall I am pleased with the fans, and styling, but wish the finishing screws weren't a bright shiny metal but rather painted white to match the fan. Also I found it much easier to mount the blades prior to hanging the fan on the brackets.
Hunter Fans
In 1886, the foundation for Hunter Fans was laid when John Hunter and his son, John C. Hunter, engineered the first water-driven ceiling fan for Tuerk Water Meter Co. in Syracuse, NY. By 1896, they had acquired Tuerk company, transforming it into the Hunter Fan & Motor Co. and launching the AC-powered Tuerk Type A fan in Fulton, NY. Over the years, Hunter expanded its product line to include oscillating desk fans, pedestal fans, attic fans, air conditioning units, air purifiers, humidifiers and even decorative lighting.
