Pros: simple install, makes it easy to operate fan
Cons: Quality control issues, if you get a good one they last a few years
Summary: I see these bad reviews and while I may agree that there is some problem with these I've also got at least two that are working problem free for years, I also think that perhaps the problem is more with the hand unit than with the unit inside the fan ... read more

Pros: Initially Cheap, Nice design
Cons: Not reliable remote control, Hunter warranty doesn't apply to light or remote fan only.
Summary: Light stil works on Fan My electrician wired it to a switch because he told me back in 2007 that it has been his experience that the remote control for the fan will fail. Well, I 'll be four years later it happened to me too. The ... read more

Pros: When it works its Great!!
Cons: It doesn't work properly!!
Summary: My Hunter remote control (Model 27185) worked very well for the first couple of years and then it simply crashed. The plus part is the light still works fine. It turns on and can be dimmed down normally and it will also turn off. Now for the fun ... read more

Pros: I can't think of any.
Cons: Very susceptible to interference, lights will come on/go off on their own.
Summary: I should have done a little research before buying a Hunter remote, but who would have known I was going to have issues. I just installed this Hunter remote in our bedroom fan on Friday, and before I could finish putting all the light bulbs back in the ... read more

Pros: Neat concept
Cons: installation
light comes on when it wants to.
Summary: I just installed this jewel with a new fan and the first night it was up the light came on for no reason. I thought maybe I just forgot to turn it off the night before until I was sitting in the room and the light just popped on. It does have a very ... read more

Pros: Found a way to replace my burned out Remote Receiver.
Cons: Too bad the dimmer switches don't last as long as the fans.
Summary: I purchased two Hunter fans (w/ light) with remotes from Costco in 2002. I liked them because they came with two remotes each, one for the wall switch, and a hand held remote. A month ago, the dimmer started to malfunction on one of the fans. It would ... read more

Pros: Very convenient...when it worked.
Cons: Absolutely unreliable. Replacing it requires disassembly of the fan, which is not practical.
Summary: I bought and installed (or rather the electrician installed) two Hunter ceiling fans - each with a remote. One is in my home office and the other in my daughter's room. She wanted to be able to control the fan from her bed at night as hers tends to be ... read more

Pros: 3 fan speeds and full-range dimmer control in one handy unit.
Cons: A tad chunky in size (a minor fault).
Summary: There's nothing like a ceiling fan over the bed to help you catch your zzzz's on a hot summer night. Instead of shivering in an air conditioner's icy blast, you loll under a gentle breeze, perhaps dreaming about faraway places kissed by tropical trade ... read more

Pros: Its a ceiling fan with lights
Cons: The remote does not work the lights for very long. DO NOT BUY
Summary: I bought this fan because of the remote features. The remote will turn on the fan, but does not work turning on the lights anymore. I have only had the fan up for 1 year and I really don't use it that often. After reading the reviews, I see this is a

Pros: Easy installation
Cons: Turns light on by itself. (Ghost option)
Summary: I just purchased a brand new Hunter fan and also purchased the universal Hunter remote yesterday. Fan and remote work great until remote receiver decides to turn the light on, on it's own during the night. I didn't think to read reviews about a fan

Pros: Looks nice and operates the fan OK on command .... BUT, SEE CONS
Cons: 1) Fan and light start unexpectedly.
2) Light can't be turned on from wall switch.
Summary: Bought the remote for convenience and found it anything but that. Since installing it, the fan and/or light start whenever they feel like it, often in the middle of the night. Tech Support says change channels on receiver and

Pros: Turns on Fan. Turns off Fan. Turns on Lights. Turns off Lights.
Cons: Will turn on and off at will with different fan speeds.
Summary: For the last year I have dealt with the same remote issues. Many times I have woken up by the lights being on or the fan being on high speed etc. I thought it was an issue with installation but I now realize that the receiver is a

Pros: Very convenient, when they work.
Cons: Quality control issues and a very inconvenient manufacturing design change.
Summary: I installed three of these on three separate fans in my house, and two are working very well. One of the units wouldn't control the light at all, and a replacement unit will not turn the light on when the wall switch is turned on. I took that one back as

Pros: Quiet fans
Cons: Read the narrative...
Summary: Three days ago, I installed a new Hunter fan, with remote control, to my 12' vaulted ceiling. The next day I started to experience the mysterious light and speed controls changing without my presence. Halloween is around the corner, so I thought I

Pros: It actually does function appropriately when the buttons are pushed.
Cons: Turns itself off and on. Frequency settings were broken on mine.
Summary: I've learned that I now have to research every single product before I buy. This remote makes my Hunter ceiling fan act possessed. It turns itself on (both fan and light) at least 3 times per day. Maybe it's the frequency that the remote is on (RF

Pros: Light and fan still work. Hunter's name and good reputation.
Cons: Remote eats up the batteries in about 4 days.
Summary: My unit fan and light have been working fine. The only problem so far is that I have had to replace the batteries on the remote control four times in the last month. I noticed that the led indicator on the remote is on all of the time, even when I am not
