Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Years ago I purchased a hunter fan that was extremely similar to this one. It still to this day works wonderfully. It went for several years before its started to need any kind of maintenance. Now every 6 months or so I take it apart, oil and clean all of the parts, put it back together and on she goes. When I needed a second fan I decided to get another hunter fan of the same style. I was however rather disappointed with this new model. After only a few months of use it began to show signs of needing maintenance. Taking several minutes to get up to speed and rattling/creeking for several more minutes after that. Then when I went to take it apart to do said maintenance every single screw stripped out immediately making further attempts to fix it even more difficult. The change to cheaper materials and worse quality in just a few years time is quite depressing and now this fan is barely functional. Sorry hunter but this thing was nothing but a disappointment.
