52" Trimaran Wet Rated Ceiling Fan with Wall Control - Hunter Fan

I needed a durable outdoor fan that could withstand the elements, maintain the sturdiness of the blades, and provide powerful airflow. After extensive research and consideration of various brands, I settled on this fan based on its overall reviews, including a detailed YouTube review from a restaurant using the same model, as well as its price point. Before purchasing this fan do your homework, read what comes with the fan, and make sure it will meet your needs. This fan does not have a light, does not have a remote control and the blade reverse switch is not easily accessible. What this fan is, is a fan that looks very nice, will withstand the elements, operates by a wall switch, and it moves a lot of air, period. Installation was straightforward, albeit slightly longer than typical indoor fans due to the additional steps involving rubber gaskets for protection. However, there is not a lot of additional time involved and everything goes together very well. Take your time, be patient, and follow the instructions. One minor inconvenience noted by another review is the need to remove the bottom cover (secured by four small screws) to access the blade reversal switch. While this may be an annoyance for some, it's of zero concern for me as I cannot think of a time where I would need to reverse the blade movement in my location. My primary focus is on maximizing airflow outdoors. Overall, this fan has exceeded all my expectations. I installed two of these fans on my covered patio and I am very happy with the outcome. Not only do the fans look nice, but they also enhance the comfort and enjoyment of my outdoor living space. I highly recommend this fan for anyone's outdoor living area.

Look great on our porches. We have not used them yet but seem steady.

Our parents have this fan and after seeing how well it kept the bugs away from the eating area, we decided to get one of our own. It was a great purchase. The fan was easy to install and looks great on our patio.

Easy installation, good design and performance. Good quality with excellent materials of construction.

Packaging and instructions are good. Delivery of installation parts, non-existent.

I wanted very much to like to fan, then found out you have to take the fan housing apart to reverse the directions of the blades to go with the appropriate weather/season. This is a really dumb design - most fans have either a pull string or a remote control. This is going in a loft of a barn, way up high. Not a great design.

I love these fans. They sit tight to the ceiling and are so quiet. They have made our porch and enjoyable outdoor space.

Fan is easy to install. The wall switch make this fan kit a good option for location that are hard to access (vaulted ceiling’s, etc) compared to the traditional pull chain to adjust the fan speed.

Clean and simple looking, three speeds, and “all-weather””—I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Good looking. Nice volume of air on 3rd speed. But speeds 1 and 2 barely turn the blades & aren't distinguishable from each other. We'll just use it on 3, but it seems silly to have 2 additional settings which are identical & nominal.

The Hunter Trimaran Outdoor/Indoor ceiling fan was easy to assemble. All of the parts were packaged separately and clearly labeled, which made the assembly process very easy. I have thirteen (13) ceiling fans in my home. Four (4) of the ceiling fans (all Hampton Bay fans) have been replaced with Hunter fans. The remaining nine (9) (Hampton Bay) fans will also be replaced with Hunter fans (eventually). The only ceiling fans that I install in my home are Hunter fans. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for making such a dependable ceiling fan.

This fan was hung three days ago on a porch that has direct exposure to sea breezes coming off of West Galveston Bay. So far there is no noticeable rust or corrosion.

Love the fans!! They look great and work good in our loggia.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've admired my neighbors outdoor fans for years and finally decided to get my own, especially since I know they hold up in the Las Vegas weather. I already have indoor fans by Hunter and love them so the best choice was of course Hunter again. This was just a standard fan assembly but the first time I've ever had experience with a wired control. Once assembled and powered up this fan is pretty cool. It looks great with a flat off white finish and the blades seem to be a good thick type of weather resistant material. You're able to switch the rotating direction for the seasons and it has three very quiet speeds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this fan worked great on our patio. 52" moved a lot of air. I've seen indoor fans installed outdoord and the blades droop from the moisture. we didn't need a light but if you do, this unit does not have a built in light. a little heavy so you might want an extra set of hands for the install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this Trimaran 52 inch fan! The fan has made out outdoor area even more comfortable to enjoy. It was very easy to install and it looks stunning. We have had a few warm nights and this fan works wonders. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Trimaran Outdoor 52 inch ceiling fan was the perfect addition to our newly renovated enclosed sun porch. This fan is very quiet even on the highest speed. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of air this fan circulates. I love the design of the blades, it makes it look more modern. It is also very easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am super excited to have the comfort of home outdoors now. This black 3 blade fan gives me that extra comfort on those hot summer days to come. It goes great with the house and my outdoor decor. I simply love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hunter makes excellent ceiling fans, so I had high expectations for the Hunter Trimaran Outdoor ceiling fan, and, aside from the exception of some difficult installation with the indoor switch, all my expectations were exceeded. It looks and functions flawlessly, and it is made to last. First, the fan looks beautiful. The lines are clean, which is perfect for my modern sensibilities. It has three angular blades and a simple circular body. It is spare and utilitarian, and makes a statement of class without being gaudy or drawing undue attention. The white is uniform and pristine, and without blemish. Functionally it is sound. I have it in a 60 inch down rod and it is steady and quiet. It doesn’t vibrate or dance, but hangs perpendicular as though perfectly weighted. It produces an ample downdraft at each of its three levels. It should be noted that there aren’t any hanging chains or other methods to control the power apart from the in wall dial that replaced my old switch. As for the installation itself, there is where I had the most problems, though most of those were because I was hanging it from a 15 foot ceiling using a ladder, which certainly complicated the matter. All in all, frim flipping the breaker off, mounting it, and popping the breaker back in again it took my about and hour and 20 minutes. This was far longer than I expected, but most of the excess time was due to the height at which I was working. The three issues I had with the fan itself was, while I am happy with the weather sealing, it did make it more difficult to find the screw holes on the receptacles to mount the top plate. While a bit frustrating at the time, I think this is well worth it as it’s another line of safety against moisture and to prevent rattle. I would have preferred a longer grounding wire on the mounting bracket, as it made it very difficult was so little slack to work with. The biggest issue I had was with the indoor control switch (pictured). For some reason the ground wire is aligned with the screw that holds the switch to the receptacle. And because this is the case, it made it impossible to seat flush with the wall. I’m not sure if this a design flaw, or an outdated socket in my house, but it would make more sense to me if the ground wire were placed somewhere off the back so as to not get in the way. Those minor quibbles aside, I really do love this fan for its look and sturdy, quiet function, and smart, safe design. I do recommend!
