I purchased this fan to replace a Hunter original that I had for over 20 years and died. I mounted the fan and the only place that I can feel the air moving is if I stand directly under it. We have always bought Hunter fans. I am currently sitting under 2 1886 model fans and have 5 more Hunter fans in my home so I consider myself a loyal Hunter Fan customer! I have purchased another Hunter Original but I guess I am stuck with this one!
