After reading many of the reviews for this fan, I have to tell you the fan looks great and runs very quietly. I understand some folks had some issues with the install, I had an electrician friend install mine and heard no complaints from him regarding the instructions. He did say not to use a dimmer switch for the fan, it will cause a vibration sound. Other than that, the fan was worth the money.
Hunter Palermo 52" Ceiling Fan

This is a great looking fan. It matches the stainelss steel of my kitchen applicances. It was, however, difficult to install. My son installed it and he is good at this kind of stuff and it took him 2 1/2 hours. It is much more different to install than most other fans, but it is worth it for the great designer look.
QUALITY , GREAT LOOKING 2008-05-23
We needed a great looking ceiling fan for our living space. A friend told us to stay with HUNTER fans. He was right. This model came with everything included in the box - even the remote. The fan blades can be reversed to allow a change of look. It is so quiet. The single light gives a clean look. All of the parts are sturdy and well made.
big dissapointment 
2008-05-23
This fan arrived with some screws missing -- maybe reconditioned? I bougth it as "new" Got the missing screws at the harware store and mounted the fan. It had a very distinct/loud humming sound (not "silent" as Hunter claims). It also wobbles badly even at medium speed, something that coud not be corrected even with the kit included. I notified Amazon and will be returning this item as "defective".

Easy to install once you figured what screws to use for certain parts. Took about an hour to install the first and 30 minutes to install the second. The Fan is quiet smooth and moves air well.
Works great - but no dimmer available 2008-06-29
This fan is great - we purchased it for the energy savings rating, not realizing that meant it was flourescent and the electrician said you can't use a dimmer switch with a flourescent. That's the only downfall - either on or off when it comes to the light. And you have to use the remote, which in our house with 2 men, will never last, though they said we could super-glue it into the holder...time will tell if this is necessary! Anyway, other than that, it's a great fan - very quiet, looks great.
bought it cheaper 2008-06-21
i just bought the same item at home depo for 99.00 dollars,these guy's here are to expensive
Great Fan...easy to install 2008-06-15
We bought 2 of these fans. The best thing I liked about these is how easy they were to install. While most fans need a second person to hold the base while you wire it into the ceiling, this one allows you to hang the base on the junction plate hook while you perform the necessary wiring. Which means I could have done the whole thing without help. A pleasant surprise.
Remote problem 
2008-06-12
The fan is great, but the wiring is too tight in the space available. Very hard to assemble. Also, when there is a power failure and then restored, the light comes back on. This is not good for a traveling person, since it could be on for days.
Remote control does not consistently work 2008-06-09
Bought the Palermo because of its look and the hope that by avoiding a Home Depot/Lowe's knock-off I would buy a superior product.
The controls worked sporadically after installation - but getting a change in fan speed or light required dozens of button presses. Occasionally something would change - so the remote did communicate with the fan - but completely inconsistently.
Trying different dipswitch settings and a different remote control accomplished nothing; neither did changing relative position between the fan and I.
Calls to customer care took much too long to answer - 45 minute hold times were my experience - after trying to leave a message (per the automated system direction) in a full mailbox meant going back into queue.
The answer I finally received from customer service was "your remote is experiencing interference. Not our problem."
Without an alternate way to bypass the inferior quality remote control, and incredibly poor customer service support, I would strongly urge anyone looking for a fan to look elsewhere.
