Hunter 21617 Palermo One-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted Globe

The brushed nickel Palermo ceiling fan offers rich, traditional styling and efficient, reliable operation that's best suited for large rooms in your home. A ceiling fan such as this is a great addition to any space because it can help cut energy costs all year long. Use it during the summer to cool off, or run it during the winter to recirculate the warm air that rises throughout the house.

Designed to install easily and perform beautifully for years to come, the Palermo has an eye-catching brushed nickel finish with five 52-inch reversible maple/cherry blades to help keep you cool during the summer months. Made to install quickly and easily, the Palermo boasts the Installer's Choice three-position mounting system, which gives you the freedom to hang it in standard, flush or angled position. Hunter's exclusive Whisperwind motor also assures powerful, whisper-quiet operation.

The Palermo also includes a 22-watt compact frosted globe fluorescent light fixture that uses one 22-watt compact fluorescent bulb. In addition, the full function wireless remote control with three speeds, light dimmer and reverse allows for independent fan and light operation.

Energy Star qualified (which means it meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency), the Palermo comes with a lifetime warranty backed by Hunter's 100-plus years of fan expertise.

The fans are great, very quiet and I love the remote control. It was super easy to put together and install.

These fans, while cool looking, are an absolute horror to install. If you buy them, be prepared to exercise your patience to the max. They provide too many screws which are similarly sized with no clear direction as to their use. Even when you do figure out which ones to use where, they don't go in correctly (especially in the ring around the light)! The fan has to be one of the poorest I have installed from an engineering perspective. Once they are installed, they perform decently - they are quiet. However, had I known what a pain it was to do the installation, I would have purchased another brand altogether. For the price paid for these fans, I would say they are not worth it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I ordered the fan, thinking the HUNTER name would take it a step above the rest. It turns out that the fan was difficult to install, the light is inadequate for the breakfast area in the kitchen. If you want to change the bulb, it looks like a nightmare of a task.

I should have gotten the $100 fan. I would have been happier.

If you want looks only...this is the fan for you.
If you want functional...this is not the fan for you.

We purchased this fan for our attic play room. It looks great and operates great. The only grip we have is that the fan seems to wobble a litte when placed on the high speed setting.

Great price but installation instructions are poor. Light globe retainer / trim ring difficult to install. Light output is insufficient for my room.
