Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased both the "HUNTER 27179 Bathroom Fan & Light Wall Control White" and the "Hunter Fan Saturn 90053 Decorative Brushed Nickel Rings with Frosted Glass" for a total of $115.39 from Amazon. Overall I am very happy with the products but have to agree with other feedback.
Usability & Aesthetics : The main complaints people had and that I now agree with (though I'd still order these two products again) have to do with the Hunter logo on the glass and the arrangement of buttons on the controller. To explain a bit more, the glass covering the light comes with a protective white sticker which when removed for installation presents you with a very prominently white painted "Hunter" logo in the center of the glass. The controller enables you to do quite a bit all in the size of a single switch which is great. The gray button on top is sort of an override which a better usability design would place this on the bottom and away from the other buttons. When the gray button is on, a very bright blue LED just above and to the right of the gray button lights. The 3 blue buttons are the ones to use daily. The first is a light button and works as expected. The second is the fan so you can operate it independent of the light. The third is the delay button. The two sliders beneath this button allow me to set it to 'fan only' or 'light only' or 'both' for a delay of '5', '10' or '20' minutes. I have set it for 'fan only' and '20' so when leaving the bathroom after a shower, I turn the light off and press delay which will run the fan for 20 minutes.
Installation : I hired someone to put this in for me. I was replacing a light-only fixture and regular switch in this bathroom. The fixture is just about 2 foot from the outside wall which was good BUT the fan unit in the attic was a just-barely fit in the attic given the roof slope which required much of the installation to be done from below and ceiling patching afterward. The venting also added a challenge given the tight angle on the downward slope of a rather steep roof, just 2 foot from the outer wall. The contractor I hired expected to spend a half day but spent just under 6 hours to install and clean-up.
One other note on my experience - I compliment Amazon on handling of a problem. I received the fan unit and found upon opening that the glass had shattered into a zillion pieces, some so small you could barely see them though my bleeding finger indicated a problem as I just barely touched the wrapped glass piece in the box! I filed for a return from Amazon, packed my broken unit up and dropped it off at UPS. Amazon did not wait to receive the unit or even proof I'd shipped it out before they sent me another unit which I received VERY quickly. I was very pleased with the automation and speed of the transaction.
Customer Review: Beautiful & Quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was a replacement for a pre-existing noisy bathroom fan. The client chose this light/fan combo to replace the existing fixture. It's quiet/gives off alot of light and as a contractor...I would recommend this for any bathroom that wants classy & attractive as well as a quiet bathroom fan. I give this product a 5 star rating.Customer Review: Beautiful and quiet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so pleased with this fan/light combination. It seems quite powerful, but is very quiet and best of all very attractive. I love the brushed nickel that matches the rest of my fixtures. I had an electrician install it along with the Hunter 27179 and everything works great.Customer Review: Excellent fan, no logo on glass
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this over a year ago and finally got around to installing it. The instructions were clear and my only difficulty was due to the very cramped attic space I have. With proper room to work it would have been an easy job. I read the reviews and saw that a lot of buyers were upset with the Hunter logo on the glass. I know I would have been very displeased as well, but apparently the company has listened to complaints as mine came without logo. Very attractive and efficient unit. Love mine!
