Purchased the fan from Amazon. Everything is fine. The fan is quiet. The only surprise is that Hunter changed the bulb from medium base incandescent to candelabra base. The CFL candelabra is fairly expensive. Otherwise its OK.

I am very pleased with this fan, overall.
Not a super easy install for a novice like me, my husband completed the installation well within 2 hours, although the instruction manual was somewhat vague in certain areas, which earned this produce a slightly less than perfect rating.
We chose to flush mount the fan and 3-light attachment (bulbs not included) in a smaller bedroom with an 8' ceiling. Two alternative mounting options are included.
Remote controlled operation (controller included, batteries are not) is quiet at all speeds and transition is smooth, although there is a slight wobble at the highest setting only. Included is a balancing kit to address wobble.

As is typical with Hunter fans this one is quiet in operation and looks great. It includes the remote control unit which would run $40 to purchase separately and as such is a great value.
My only issue was that the transmitter for the remote was very difficult to fit into the unit. We had to maneuver everything just so, to get it under the cover and close things up. Other than that, it's great.
Our last Hunter fan lasted 20 years in this location, running on low 24/7, and I expect this fan to do the same.
Honest reviews on Hunter 22434 Sontera Three-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan
Hunter makes quality fans. I chose this fan because I wanted to remotely control the fan speed and light in my guest BR. I have a Minka Aire remote controlled fan in my master BR and wanted to install something similar on the same house level in the guest BR. This fan seemed like the perfect solution since the wireless transmitter feature is worth about $40, making the fan cost reasonable.
I had an electrician professionally install it. The build quality is great on this fan. However, after a few days of use I noticed this fan is "possessed"! My fan for no apparent reason would switch to the highest fan speed from the lowest. Sometimes when the fan was on with the light off, the light would turn itself on. #$%!@*+. I checked the manual and it wasn't clear what the problem was. I contacted my electrician and he suggested I change the jumpers around to another setting. To do this requires the following: (1) cut power to fan from the breaker box, (2) remove battery from remote control (VERY important), (3) change jumpers in remote control, (4) DISASSEMBLE fan to get to transmitter in base, (5) change jumpers in base to match the remote control, (6) reassemble fan, (7) restore power. Failure to follow these steps in this order means that your code change will not work. Now you could imagine your mood if you had to do this dance more than once, which I did. I called Hunter Support and they informed me that I didn't need to use all three jumper pins. I could use one, two, or three, so long as the remote control code matched the transmitter code in the base. The Hunter manual did not explicitly state this.
I should note that I have NEVER had any remote interference problems with my Minka Aire fan. If you install this fan consider lining the walls of the room with foil to avoid any interference. Keep in mind interference can be from any RF device, whether it's your wireless modem, another fan, or telephone system. If it's within a 500' range, it could interfere, even if it's a device from your neighbor doing the interfering. I gave this fan two stars because the build of the fan is great, but the implementation of the transmitter and support for the fan was very poor. If I were to do this again I would get a non-remote controlled fan from Hunter, have it wired with three-way wire, and just use the pull chains for control.

I love the fan now that it is installed! I put the fan in and the light wouldn't turn on...had to pay an electrician to say that the transmitter was faulty. Then, had to call Hunter and wait 10 days for the part to come in to install it. Installed it the second time myself and the light works and the fan is quiet. However, I have noticed that the fan turns on and off by itself. How I don't know.(We don't have any other remote control fans in the house). I will have it on low and all of a sudden it will go faster to the high speed. Or have it on before I leave in the morning and come home for lunch and it is off. I know that I am not doing it because the remote is mounted to the wall to where it can't accidentally be hit. So I have become aware if the fan is not on, because I have had it on low since we installed it.
