It really is its likea fan from the 80's in airflow. That would be interesting to see the comparison. 2012 showed the ultimate change of Hunter becoming Crap. I bet if you took a 2012 one when they were still the older style you could see a difference. I have a 2007 Beacon Hill in my Dining Room. One blade iron is about the weight of a whole set of the 2012 ones not to mention the 2013's +. The motor is still the same size (172×12) but the newer versions are not as well optimized. Newer Beacon hills actually moved really good air for their size their whole production time, until the 5xxxx variant came out. That one is mediocre for its size.

I had gotten a Markham from an auction but I sold it. I don't know why I sold it but it looked well built besides those blades. I wish someone around here would get one cause I wonder how well they perform in person.

It has medium based bulb sockets, and the motor says 153mm X 15mm. It had CFL bulbs when installed.
Should I make another video of it with lots of trash talk and showing how bad newer non-Original Hunter like this are?

As I said, you either just send it to me for free (you pay shipping) or pay me to take it off your hands, and I'll take it.

Typical builderfan motor with builderfan quality components, that moves 42" builderfan air and moves at an underpowered 60" ceiling fan RPM; pitiful POS. Parkman, please scrap that thing.

The only thing this fan gives is for the looks, performance wise, as obviously, offends fan collectors. You could sell it, but you'd have to make it super cheap since these fans are sold for 99$ at the Home Depot. If you do plant to move sooner or later, then I'd keep this fan just to replace any good ones you have on the ceiling. You can scrap the fan, but I doubt you would get much money off of it, depending on how much your local scrap place gives you.

Who cares, its worthless, underpowered junk anyways. Exactly my point. And Jonathan, I know the fan is 52" but I was saying it only spins as fast as an underpowered 60" fan. 145 RPM. Pitiful.

I'd say since you were given it, don't trash it.

I cannot dictate what Jonathan wants to do with his fan, but the suggestion of our opinions might sway his judgement.

If f found one, I'd swap a high-value cap in there. Then see what happens.
