Since you're the second person I've seen bashing Hunter fans lately with no
more documentation than "I've seen a number of discussions" I figured I'd
try and actually do a little leg work on the subject. Below are 3 sites that
give (mostly) favorable reviews to Hunter Fans (yes, I'm aware these sites
are also selling these products but also have consumer reviews).

Here is a Google NG search and while I didn't check every post I didn't see
many (any?) posts complaining about the quality of Hunter Fans. I have
personally used and installed many Hunters over the years and have found
them to be quiet, very easy to install, reasonably priced and dependable.
I'd be interested in any documentation you have that disputes this.
