Unique Ceiling Fans: Hunter Fans 90161 17" Bamboo Garden Traditional Outdoor Cocoa Floor Fan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Because I had read reviews about the difficulty of assembly, I was expecting to spend at least a couple hours on it. It was complete in about 45 minutes.Seriously, I don't know what others are doing to make this a bigger project than it is.I will say that the "interlock bracket" assembly is a bit tricky (and a strange design), but it really wasn't too terribly difficult.Would I buy it again?In a heartbeat (and if they drop the price again to $99, I will buy another).

The fan is gorgeous and extremely well built.I know that statement can be subjective, so let me give a bit of an objective comparison.I also purchased two Deco Breeze "Sambuca" fans.See here for details on it:

Received them on the same day as the Hunter and assembled them all the same evening.The Deco Breeze fan retails for much more than the Hunter (240 vs 165).The DB is on sale at lnt[dot]com for 75 bucks, by the way.In summary, overall, the Hunter is higher quality.Don't get me wrong; from the "neck" down, the Deco Breeze is absolutely top quality.The wood/resin base and shaft are simply gorgeous.If you have wood floors, this will be right at home in your room.That said, all metal on the DB (the "head", if you will.Meaning the cage and motor cover) is flimsy garbage compared to the Hunter.The Hunter motor is about twice as heavy.On the Deco Breeze, all knobs are cheap, black plastic that take away from the beauty of the fan.The Hunter, on the other hand, is simply quality craftmanship down to the smallest detail.The knobs, for example, are painted the same color.There was thought into the design of each; it's not simply a black piece of plastic afterthought as it is with the Deco Breeze.

Assembly?No comparison, the Deco Breeze wins hands down.5 minutes vs. 45.That said, I didn't mind assembling the Hunter, I enjoy a challenge ;-)

The Hunter is quieter than the Deco Breeze at the lowest setting.I need a quiet fan for the bedroom, and the Hunter is in there now.The Deco Breeze is too loud for my taste.If noise is important to you, keep this in mind.
