Pros & Cons
Pros
This fan weighs a ton and really moves the air. It runs great and low speed rpm of that version is perfect for my bedroom. Whisper quiet and guaranteed for life.
The only grief for how old they are is the pull chain will eventually pull out. Should last a lifetime though.
This hunter fan is no slouch nor a piece of rubbish. The craftsmanship is first rate. The build is absolutely sublime.
Only issue is a little wobble which we may try to correct by changing the blade placement. No more concerns with weather affecting the wooden blades.
These use real öill, and it easy get excited with lubrication, and over lubricate. Oil bath for the rotating bearings.
Cons
I am very displeased that hunter has decided not to maintain an inventory of blades for these fans. Dripped oil after 6 months…died after 14 months…chinese junk….
Highlights
Quality
Use a high quality car wax caranuba mothers is good and wax the entire fan pole blades body etc
Heavy appears be built well and if i were gamble and i have done these shall be with us in 100 years
I have had fans like this for 50 years and they are trouble free
Unlike a car you have to check the oil level every about twice a year and blow out the dust from the motor area
Price
Great price and delivery for a hard to get product
Great fan only draw back is the price
Its too bad theyve gotten so expensive and had to move production to china
I had my brown classic hunter fan since 1986 when they were 99

After an initial techsupport misstep hunter customer service has shipped a replacement hunter original to replace the one that ... Read More
Packaging/appearance
One other important thing i did not see on any of the descriptions is that the pics show 4 blades on the fan which i wanted and... Read More
Looks almost the same as my other hunter original
Competitiveness
I tried to replace the pull chain switch and the direction switch but could not find the correct parts even from hunter
It is based on the original oil bath hunter design just a lot more expensive today
The one pictured is from the 1980s much older than i am and still working better than about every other model i have seen

It is very important that you know this fan is very heavy — about 70 pounds
