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).

Did any of the reviewers own the fans long enough to have to perform
internal service on them? If not, the reviews are not relevant to long term
ownership.
