Hunter 90440 16" RETRO Tripod Stand Fan with Onyx Copper / Black Finish

This is a great fan! It’s beautiful, sturdy, and quiet-ish (but I like the sound of fans when I sleep). It’s like adding a fabulous lamp to your living space! So stylish for a floor fan. My husband put it together in under 30 minutes. I highly recommend! I would have loved to Payless for it but this fan is totally worth the price point.😻

I am very impressed with this fan. We purchased this fan because we put up a beautiful iron chandelier last year and did not want to remove it to install a ceiling fan. I had looked around for a stylish fan to keep in the room all of the time.Style - The retro classic look of this fan suits our decor. We sought out a fan like this to keep in the room all year round. Plastic pedestal fans appear cheap and temporary. This fan actually compliments our style, rather than takes away from it. Placed in the corner of the room, it is very appealing.Build quality - The fan is very sturdy on its tripod. It oscillates in a wide range covering the entire room. All metal construction makes for a well-balanced and stable movement from side to side. The blade is precise and spins rather quietly without any vibration on all three settings. It is quite heavy and ponderous to move around as the weight is at the top, and since the tripod cannot be closed once assembled, it is unwieldy going from room to room.Noise - Like I said, it spins quietly. For our space, 12'x20', the fan moves enough air around the room on low. Medium and high, as expected are louder, but not enough to prevent conversation. Any music playing would easily drown out the sound of this fan. I would say that it is certainly louder than a ceiling fan, but not as loud as a window box fan. Just for a comparison, the fan is drowned out by the sound of our new Samsung microwave when used in the same room.Assembly - Here is where I took off a star. I know that Hunter wants to make it easy to ship their products, but I felt a little bothered by the 25 minutes of assembling time. Although the instructions were concise and accurate, when buying a $100+ fan, I don't feel I should be spending so much time putting it together. It is A FAN, and should be plug and play. This involved wrenches, nuts, and manipulating very small screws. I am a handy person, but I can see how this could take some lesser experienced people a lot longer. I should have received a paycheck from Hunter as I felt like an employee putting it together.Overall, it is fantastic. I would highly recommend this fan.

All you will need is a Phillips screwdiver and it will be assembled in 15 minutes. Very unique and works perfectly. Love the old school sound. Highly recommended.Update: fan stopped working after six months.

I will never again buy any HUNTER product. I could not get this thing taken apart and back in the box fast enough. A four year old could bend the legs, crush the grills, a toddler just walking could crush the blades.The blades are as thick as disposable aluminum foil roasting pans were when I was a kid in the 60s.No instructions as to how to make the thing telescope up and down & I almost was going to take a mallet to the crappy plastic cap on the bottom of that rod when I finally forced it and the plastic collar up & out only to find this had obviously been badly put together by a previous sucker.I handled this piece of garbage with kid gloves and the faintest touch marked the finish, the metal of the pole the strongest piece of metal on the fan aside from the motor housing was bent wherever a tiny [and there are a LOT of tiny -- TEENY tiny screws] had been tightened perhaps a turn too tightly.I bought this hundred dollar novelty toy because I wanted METAL not plastic. What am I shopping for now while this pile of garbage is back in it's box awaiting UPS pick up? A solid plastic fan. I give up.I don't care how careful you are, I am extremely careful and mechanically inclined with a great hand for delicate things and I had it together pretty fast, noting as I went that wherever there were 2 or 4 screws 1 or 3 would have washers, the others not. There as an explained piece in the instructions I could not find but made the whole mess go together nonetheless.The fan was spinning away very very quietly at all speeds so I can assure anyone who got a noisy one, got one that had been put together and by chance, no great effort needed, bent.When I attempted to tilt the head --- FORGET it. It can only tilt down about 5 degrees, and back? I couldn't wrestle it to budge until I looked at the three screws, one holding the pivot point & two inexplicable small screws one on each side of the pivot fork that went right through the pole inserted up to the motor housing.How can something pivot with screws passing through the very part that it's attached to at both the stationary part and through the two parts that must move to pivot? Impossible.The one turnscrew that has a knob makes no sense because nothing but massive force will make that tube move up and down between the three legs, which a three year old could pinch and bend with their bare hands.ALSO - I wanted a fan I could clean of dust regularly --- you know how you remove the front from the rear grille? First you make about twenty turns of the tiniest screw on the entire mess, the one that holds the ring just barely over the edges where the two grills meet to give it a false finished look, then you'd have to go at the set screw, also tiny behind the blades DON'T BEND ONE -- bend one of those blades and thing will really be noisy out of balance.Then when you pull those paper thin blades off you have to unscrew FOUR also teeny tiny screws to take the rear grill off the motor housing. NOW you can thoroughly clean the grills, fan blades and motor housing and put it all back together!And NO you can't clean this thing without taking those parts apart, I wouldn't dare take a vacuum cleaner's delicate drapery attachment to those grills as there's no way they would survive the soft bristles and suction.Good luck.Hunter -- never again. Keep your ceiling fans now I know why the prices are matching all the knock off brands. Your crap is all coming from China like this.

Easy to assemble (instructions were straight forward). The fan is on the louder side but moves air very well and has a pleasant hum. The tripod design is stable and does not wobble or shake. Overall nice product. Most higher quality fans seem to be in this price range and this one just looks better.

Great looks and construction. I would have like it to be quieter.
