Ceiling Fan With Remote

If you're looking for a ceiling fan with remote control, you have a lot of different options to choose from.  I've searched around the net some, on your behalf, just to research what's available in the marketplace.

One of the first major manufacturers that I ran across is Hunter ceiling fans.  They have more than one model of ceiling fan with remote.

Hunter – The Royal Oak

One of their models is called The Royal Oak.  The Hunter Royal Oak is a 60" model.  The model I looked at was the new bronze finish with dark cherry blades.  Hunter uses a motor that they call the AirMax motor and the fan is Energy star certified.  The large motor it comes with is designed for maximum air movement throughout the room.

This particular ceiling fan consumes 0.7 amps of power on the high speed setting, has three speeds, 5 blades, and moves 1493 cubic feet per minute of air on the low setting.  On the high setting, it moves 6940 cubic feet per minute.

Hunter's site says that this model uses 88 watts of energy (excluding lights), and at 6940 cubic feet per minute of air flow, it moves 84 cubic feet per minute per watt.

Two things worth noting on this ceiling fan are that it features Hunter's Wobble Free Canopy and, of course since you're looking for a ceiling fan with remote, the remote control for the fan is included as a standard item.

Hunter – The Palomar

Another Hunter ceiling fan with remote is the Palomar model.  The Palomar model I reviewed featured an Amber Bronze finish with Cherry Carved Wood Banana Leaf blades on it.  This is  a very nice looking ceiling fan. 

This ceiling fan features a 120 watt bowl light kit that takes three bulbs.   This model features the same wobble free canopy as the Royal Oak does and has a high performance motor.

On the high setting, this fan moves 6946 CFM of air while consuming 88 watts of power to do so.  Overall air flow ratings are 1518 CFM, 3626 CFM, and 6946 CFM on the low, medium, and high settings respectively.

This fan, of course, also includes the remote control and has a limited lifetime warranty from Hunter.

Hunter – The Grand Isle

The Grand Isle model is another Hunter ceiling fan with remote.  Like the previous two models, this model includes the remote control as a standard item.

This is a 52" fan and uses Hunter's powerful WhisperWind motor.  It includes the light fixture, which takes 4 bulbs, and has 5 blades.

Hunters site says that this model moves 1594 CFM, 3630 CFM, and 5965 CFM of air on the low, medium, and high settings respectively.

At the high setting, it moves 69 cubic feet per minute of air per watt of power.

By the way, if you don't want the light kit for some particular reason, you can install the fan without the light kit.

As with the previous fans I mentioned, this model comes with the remote control and also has the limited lifetime warranty from Hunter.

Hunter is just one of many different manufacturers of ceiling fans with remote control. 

Later, I will examine some of the offerings from other manufacturers of ceiling fans.
