Horrible customer service. The fans themselves are marginal at best. I needed a part that was broke when I received my fan. Sent an email to the customer service desk asking to purchase the part. Ernest M. Sent me a rambling email about sending it to another company for warranty work? I never requested them to fix it. I simply wanted to buy a replacement part. They are a train wreck. I am sure there are much better companies out there. Ill never buy a Hunter fan again.

The guy I spoke with about my Hunter ceiling fan model number 59224 told me the issue Im having with my Hunter ceiling fan light is one they already know about and he walked me through steps to reset it, within minutes it was doing the same thing, flickering like a strobe light & because its all built into each other, the light, the fan etc I can only buy a new ceiling fan, there is no fix. He offered me a discount on a new ceiling fan, I am not going to put money into another ceiling fan brand that Ive had issues with, Im very disappointed in Hunter for handling the situation this way. I paid $400 for this ceiling fan and it lasted 3 or 4 years. The fan should have been recalled by Hunter.

We purchased 4 outdoor hunter fans - one came with a faulty switch - while the fans are nice I have been trying to get a replacement switch for over one month with no success. I filed a claim on - line and keep getting the same request to provide info that I have provided multiple times. I have called and they never return my call. Their customer service is horrible. If you purchase a fan you better hope nothing is wrong with it.

We spent over $750 on Hunter.com ordering 4 fans for our new home. Then bought another Hunter fan on Lowes.com. We spent over $1k on Hunter products this month. We are loyal Hunter customers. Anytime we buy a new home or rental, we outfit it with Hunter fans. Their great quality and I love Hunter customer service until today. Talia, "support specialist" took my call today. She was an absolute nightmare.
Beyond rude. I hung up within a few minutes of speaking to her and called back requesting a supervisor. The supervisor was polite but seemed unbothered by Talias outburst nor was he remotely concerned that Talia continued to harass me thru email after I hung up on her. I love Hunter products but I am beyond disappointed with Talias foul attitude. I'm shocked that she had the audacity to continue her tantrum thru email after I hung up on her.
I truly hope & pray disciplinary action is taken to correct Talias behavior or she's moved to another department because that woman doesn't belong in customer service. She is extremely unpleasant and has zero people skills.

I have a 16 year old ceiling fan made by Hunter. It has a remote control that controls speed and direction. The remote is becoming faulty, which could be expected for a low tech device like this. Hunter cannot reference the remote in their system and is of absolutely no help. I've given them the remote model number and they tell me they cannot replace it and don't know how I can replace it. They are very slow to respond and seem little interested in customer service. I will never ever buy another Hunter fan.

Giving one star because it won't allow me to give anything lower. Bought a Hunter fan 2 months ago. Finally got it installed by a professional certified electrician. The fan worked for 1 week and then completely stopped working. Unfortunately my husband paid cash and is not good with keeping receipts. We called Hunter customer service and explained what happened in hopes that they would replace the fan and have us box up the old one and send it back.
The woman on the phone had zero customer service and told us that it was unfortunate that this happened but without a receipt there is nothing that she could do. I even explained that we paid alot of money to have it installed but it fell on deaf ears and basically hung up the phone. This company should be ashamed of themselves selling faulty fans to customers and not willing to make it right. There are 49 bad reviews. This company should be sued!
