#1: Kicking things off as the first fan on this list is a fan from what has been arguably one of the most pathetic ceiling fan manufacturers for the past 4 years (and the one fan company Max seems to hate with a burning passion no offense Max), Hunter. This fan is the 60" version of the Donegan, which has two size variants; this being the gargantuan of the series. Not only does it look like a bloody horrifying intermingling of parts, but a brief glimpse at the spec sheet tells me just how much worse it gets. The motor is only 172×20 mm (don't ya think that's a bit small for a 60" fan) and the big'ol enjambment of MDF and poor quality sheet metal only moves 6300 CFMs. So much for putting it in any space that is big enough where this thing will fit . Oh, did I mention that the motor housing looks like an upside down bowl with a teapot lid on its underside? None taken...for now Honestly though, I wonder why you are even classifying this fan as a fail. 172X20 is reasonable for a 60" fan of today. MDF blades? Obviously no other fan in existence uses those

Obviously no other fan in existence uses those 172×20 is currently just about the smallest motor you can get in a 60" fan (AC). Lots of fans use MDF blades, but the quality of what they make nowadays is (for the most part) more pitiful than the big box store fans with which it competes. And c'mon, the housing is an upside down bowl. Jared has a video of him and Josh testing a new hunter fan, and he was able to bend and break all of the blades and brackets with little to no force. Can you do that with a Glendale? Probably not (though I will not put that past it,though). I will post the link later on, in case you have not seen the video.

MFD blades are so cheap.. They're really not worth getting that upset over!
