Surpassed all expectations
I’m not sure what all the hype is with DC motors. This fan is so quiet that I wasnt even sure if I turned it off and it was winding down or if it was still running. The airflow is no joke either and the brightness of the light surpassed my expectations. Overall I’m very impressed. It’s much nicer than my other Hunter ceiling fans.

Customer service
This is a follow-up to my 2* review of the Sentinel fan, in which I noted the fan was unacceptably noisy. Some articles I read indicated the hum would reduce in time but, while I would agree that it has, the hum remains too loud for me/us. However, Hunter fan customer service is incredible. First, I received a personal follow-up to my review within 48 hours of posting. Second, they posed reasonable and constructive questions to determine the problem. Third, they took action quickly to correct the issue. I have had Hunter fans for over two decades - I can't recommend the company enough. I can't recommend the Sentinel fan, but I do recommend Hunter.

Great fan!
I just got this installed today. My electrician was behind due to the tornadoes we had here in KY. So far, I am so excited about this fan.

Barkers Hunter fan
4th ceiling fan we have bought through Lamps Plus. Always been great! This one went into the kids game room. Really improved the look of the room! Thanks for the good service / delivery as always.

Gorgeous modern fan
Really beautiful fan that compliments our high ceilings. I love the modern lines and the ability to be mounted on slanted vaulted ceilings. We had to buy an extra long pole but it was totally worth it.

Love design!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the design and it is so easy to install. The fan is quiet and not making so much noise as my previous one. But the issue I has is the light is not as bright as I want. Wish they can have brighter LED light instead.

Cool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was extremely excited when given the opportunity to test this product free in return for my full review. My fan wasn't doing the job, after switching it with this one, I feel like my rooney cools better. I'd like to think that has something to do with 3 fans instead of 5, but I'm not expert. As far as the lights, led is the best and the fact that I control everything with this little remote is the best yet.

Top quality fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fan has the looks and the quality I like. I have a built in porch where I put this fan. The fan us stylish and has good air speed. The instructions were super easy to follow. My husband didn't have any trouble at all installing it. The fan light has LED lights, which make the fan look even more great. I definitely would recommend this fan to my friends and family due to the quality and style alone. The fan also comes with a remote, which makes things so easy to set your fan speed and light where you want it. I really do enjoy using this fan on my outdoor porch area.

Great product!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great fan! Easy to install. Looks great. Exactly what I expected. Really cools the room down. Light works great also. Will definitely be purchasing another one for the bedroom upstairs.

great fan. Three blade fans move the most air. Replacing older fan can be a problem only if the junction box is too small to contain the new wireless module. Need longer screws to attach the bracket to the electrical junction box where the box is recessed into the ceiling. Screw slots, not holes would be nice on the electrical/mounting bracket cover. Three arms and hands would help.

Very dim light
I love the look of the fan and it produces a good amount of wind. The lights are SO dim though. I almost couldn’t tell it was on. I’m assuming I can change out the lights though.

Great fan, less than average light
I like the fan. very quiet. I am less pleased with the light. it comes with two bulbs that do not distribute light evenly and they are underpowered. Would have been better to have a solid state LED built in that evenly lights and can be increased in light output

Great small room fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fan for a small room. It moves a good amount of air, and looks sleek with the 3 blades and simple light. The 3 blades are actually very well balanced and didn’t need any blade weights added. The steak light is nice and casts just the right amount of light for a bedroom. Install was decent but challenging at times. If the remote control option was installed, fitting all wires in the space needed was a challenge. The hardest part of the install was attaching the light to the fan body. I’ve installed a lot of tricky things, and that part gave me a challenge. All together it’s a great fan

Frustrating QA/QC - Light Constantly Flashes On/Of
I purchased two fans in December and had them professionally installed by an electrician. Although the remote is great and the fan is relatively quiet at its max speed, there are issues with this fan/fixture that I wish I’d read prior to purchase. The level of brightness is significantly lacking, I admire that they are LED, but it’s insufficient. The lights are constantly flashing ever 5 -10 minutes which I’ve recently discovered is a common issue experienced by other due to faulty receivers. Extremely frustrating to say the least as even if/when I receive the parts from Hunter, I will still have to pay an electrician to complete the re-install.

Ok fan, not what Hunter used to make.
The fan looks great but has an electrical current sound which it makes every few minutes. Other than that it’s very quiet.

Noisy
I bought this fan to replace a Hunter fan that had run continuously in the master bedroom for fifteen years but had become noisy. The Sentinel was easy to install and looks great but the motor is loud. There is a distinct motor hum at all speeds and in both directions. It moves a lot of air and the remote control is nice but, overall, unacceptably loud.

Settings 1 and 2 do nothing to move air
Had this installed by a licensed electrician a few days ago and am extremely disappointed in this fan's performance. We could live with the slight humming noise if only this fan did what it's supposed to do - MOVE THE AIR! We didn't expect that it would need to be run on high just to feel some air movement in the room.

The lighting is pretty dim even with 75 watt led lights. The fan starts to make a noise when on the 3rd setting. There is no control to change light setting.

Looks nice, but fan speed is SLOW
Just found out that this fan motor is on the lower end, so if you are looking for a fan to actually cool the room or circulate air, this one isn't going to be the best solution for you. I have this installed in a smaller room (11x13) and there is little to no speed difference between settings 1-3 on the remote.

Must read!!!
This fan lighting unit dims randomly almost like it’s a issue with the wiring. I bought sentinel 52 & 60 inch and Dempsey 52 inch, all professionally installed and they all dim randomly.

Not So Quiet
Bought the fan in February 2018, received my replacement fan in August 2018. Two fans in, I am still with the same popping and ticking sound coming from the motor. Find it odd that the same sounds are coming from the motor on two different sentinel fans. Another reviewer with the Leoni fan experience the same sounds. The fan is located in the bedroom where I sleep, so the sounds are quite annoying. Now on the positive side the design style and remote features are cool and easy to use. I like the appearance of the fan, but I need a fan that does not have distracting noises coming from the motor. It is listed as a whispering quiet motor though not so much.

So disappointed
I had these fans put in every room of our house when we built and it was unfortunately a big mistake. The first round of fans we had would all flash every few minutes so they were all replaced with the same model. The new fans we received don’t flash, but I can’t use the remote to control the lights. After trying to just have the fan running and turning off the lights, the lights now will not come back on leaving two of our bedrooms dark. We’ve tried many different types of bulbs and nothing works. These fans seem to have a ton of issues.

Do not buy this fan. Faulty lights
Unfortunately I had FIVE of these fans professionally installed upstairs in my house. The lights, which are incredibly dim even at the brightest setting, blink on and off every few minutes. Having 5 fans blinking, all within sight of one another when doors are open, is not good. I had an electrician out to look at them, and he wasn't able to fix or find anything wrong with the electrical in our house. No other fan in our house blinks, only these hunter fans. Because these fans are in a predominantly kids space, we have lived with it for a couple of years. Now we are selling the house and having to replace this junk in order to put the house on the market. Nobody wants to buy a house with lights that constantly blink. Do not buy this fan unless you plan to keep the light off.

Disappointed
Purchased six sentinel fans. Chose Hunter over Hampton Bay. All fans have surging where the light kit literally goes off and then back on. This is happening with all fans. In a newer home with Arc Fault bedroom breakers figured the Arc Faults were probably the cause. This last week finally got around to removing the Arc Faults and installing regular HOM Sq D 15amp breakers. Did not solve the problem. This has turned out to be a fan issue. Now have to look at replacing all fans. Not happy and will not be purchasing Hunters moving forward.
