Spring Mill Ceiling Fan

Easy to install but I'd attach the light kit (sans bulbs & cover) before hanging the fan on its ceiling mount. A solid (except to allow the pull chains through) light shade would be best for outside to keep insects from nesting. The fan is quiet, smooth & strong the light is subdued but sufficient. The usual Hunter quality.

The 52 inch Spring Mill is the worst fan Hunter ever produced - I just purchased 7 Hunter fans - unfortunately 3 were Springmill - next to impossible to get the light kit on the bottom - the small box is so packed w electronics you cannot insert the screws

I like the fan and the look. The box included all the parts including spare parts, which I ended up using. The fan works great. The fan moves a lot more air than the last one I had in this area. The only issue I have with the fan is the light output. The fan came with Edison bulbs, which I love, however they a little dimmer then I would prefer.

We probably should have returned this fan when we realized the problems it has. Unfortunately, after putting it up the added hassle of taking it down again just didn't seem worth it. Light Kit: We thought the light kit that comes with it would look really cool but - as it turns out - it's actually kind of ugly. The light bulbs are totally visible and the bulbs that come with it aren't of any use for seeing in a room. It's definitely "ambient light" meaning, think of the lights as more like candlelights. That said, having the bulbs visible is kind of painful. We're aware we could put brighter bulbs in but we'd still have to come up with some way to make the bulbs not visible. We found a Hunter light kit we'd like to exchange it for but online customer chat help informed me that the light kit on this fan cannot be changed. That's really disappointing. As for the fan itself, high speed is pretty intense and great for needing to really get air moving fast.....but, the difference between high speed and medium speed is shockingly different. There should have definitely been a speed between high and medium. Often high speed is way too much and medium isn't enough. Overall we're pretty disappointed with this fan.

The engineers who design the attachment procedure for the Light Kit should have to install 10 of these while on a ladder with the fan overhead. It is beyond ridiculous. You have to fight through a mass of wires inside a small metal box to even find the holes to attempt to install screws all the while on a ladder with limited light levels. Not to mention then you have to cram wires and various electric control devices back into the metal box to secure the cover, while hoping none of the wiring get messed up and then you would have to take it apart again…….
