Hunter 51315 Aerodyne Ceiling Fan 52 inches Matte Silver

I was apprehensive when initially buying this from the reviews.**PACKAGING**Packaging came great. There was no outer box, so just be careful if you live in a high traffic area as the contents will be displayed.Everything in the box was intuitively labeled, and nicely compartmentalized. Nothing was broken, and there was even a separate baggie for extras!**INSTALL**The install was relatively easy. The biggest pain in the butt was getting the blades on, but it's like that for every fan to be honest.For the wires, I HIGHLY suggest using WAGO connectors. They made my life an absolute breeze with this. The twist connectors come loose, especially as the fan wires are stranded compared to the house wires which are solid. WAGO connectors let me be super quick about it and allowed for neat organization.The original fan that was on was a headache to install, but this one was relatively easy. Highly enjoyed it.**FAN OPERATION**I bought this fan for Homekit connectivity and was scared of the different gremlins that would rear their head during install. That said, I scanned the code first (DID NOT INSTALL THE APP YET) located on the instructions (also on the fan itself AND the remote!) and Homekit automatically added it in and I was good to go! Dimming, fan speed, and more can all be operated via remote, but also through Homekit! I can even change the direction of the fan in Home!I downloaded the Hunter SimpleConnect app AFTER adding the fan to my Home. The Hunter SimpleConnect app is actually pretty good. To be fair, I am more tech savvy but after creating my account, there really wasn't much I needed to do. The fan automatically added itself and when I went to check on the firmware updates, it states in plain language that updates are regularly pushed. Great UX.The fan is FAST. It's great! There is a really light hum but it is not annoying and I forgot it was there after 5 minutes. I gave it 4/5 stars for that as I know some people will find that annoying. The lights are powered by bulbs so if what you were given does not operate how you like, then you can change them out. This is SO much better than most new fans that are integrated LEDs. Great design choice here.There are an amazing amount of different levels of customization for this fan which is really nice! I wish they printed them on the remote or on the battery cover because I know I'm going to lose the piece of paper.**FINAL THOUGHTS**I like this fan, and I have another 4 ordered and on the way to replace my current setup which includes using Homebridge to link them into Homekit. Good fans, good install. I will update if the fans break or if there's anything that comes up in the future.

Definitely would buy the Hunter Aerodyne model again. Purchased at $166 on Amazon. This sleek looking (black) Aerodyne fan model is used in the main bedroom. Has a very responsive hand held remote control. Electrician also installed a wall switch for on/off during the wiring for the remodel. This fan is VERY QUIET and moves air well even at lower speeds. Have only had in use for about 3 weeks and so far it is terrific. I like to keep ceiling fans running constantly to keep air fresh and feel a breeze even if the HVAC keeps the air temp cool. Am in the deep south so I expect this fan to be running the majority of the year during the long hot spells. Plan to use in winter months too. Bought a more traditional Hunter fan model for the other bedrooms and wish I'd gotten this model instead -- the Aerodyne pleasantly surprised me --- I didn't expect to like the sleeker look as much as I do now that it's installed. Also, the Aerodyne model comes with a hand held remote and I had to buy the remote unit and have electricians install in the other bedroom fans. Builder Elite models in other bedrooms are a great fan, however it's a totally different aesthetic and operation-- the hand held remote function is an optional, added charge and device on Builder Elite models. My fault for not getting the Aerodyne model first because I became a big fan of it (pun intended).

This fan has greatly improved my sleep quality and quantity. It is very convenient to wake up just enough to tell Alexa to turn the fan on or off or adjust the speed. For some reason, I always go to bed comfortable but then wake up too warm. This solves the problem. It is super quiet. It also allows me to keep the thermostat a few degrees higher meaning it will probably pay for itself. It was reasonable easy to install for a DIYer but I'd still be happy even if I had paid someone to install it. One small complaint is that it is not as bright as the regular fixture it replaced. I LOVE THIS FAN!!***UPDATE***Alexa will not play nice with it anymore. Not the fan's fault. Still five stars. I have noticed Alexa randomly decides to stop playing nice with various things. Probably too many changes and not enough QA/testing.

We added two of these on our deck and they look and function great so far. The reason for the 4 stars is the Hunter app and the written instructions that came with the fans are not good. The instructions do not discuss pairing your remote with your fan at all. Since both of our fans are on the same circuit breaker and don't have dedicated wall switches they are completely controlled with a remote, each remote controlling one fan. When trying to sync them with the Hunter app via wifi both remotes ended up controlling one fan and one fan couldn't be controlled at all. To repair the remote with fans is a convoluted process but I got it done with some guidance from an electrician friend. So great fans if using the remote but the app wasn't good.

Up to three now. I buy them whenever they are available from the warehouse. Price is steep when bought new. Works great and I can automate to adapt to even out passive solar heating in my house during the day. Nice to be able to voice control and not fumble for the remote. Advertised as 3 speed but there are 4 in the google app.

Buen producto, de calidad y se percibe que va a ser duradero, se integra fácilmente con HomeKit y Siri. Ventila muy bien la habitación donde lo instalé de 5 X 4 m. funciona mejor que los ventiladores anteriores que he adquirido. definitivamente seguiré comprando esta marca.

Dont buy this fan if youre in the UK

Muy buenos materiales de construcción, diseño clásico, integración inmediata con HomeKit.Muy recomendable

The app is not perfect, but HomeKit sure is. If you use Apple then this fan is quite the catch at a rather crazy price for how great it is. The fan is ridiculously quiet for the jet thrust power it kicks out. Of note: it is a larger fan wingspan suited to decent sized rooms. The remote is great with only a couple buttons, so fumbling in the dark you can find the light right away. I got a returned one (for a wonderful discount) and it came repacked well with all hardware new to ensure no missing pieces (thank you Hunter). All in all, the app crashes occasionally, but if you use HomeKit this doesn’t affect anything at all.
