Spinner Panama on eBay

[Cole D]

I saw this listing. This seller seems to primarily sell open box ceiling fans, exhaust fans and appliances.

Not a bad price for this Panama, but seller does note some vibration on motor? My guess is this is one of the Panamas with the bad spinner motors.

I wouldn’t buy it. I personally will not but anything Hunter or Casablanca of the post 2013 mess. Even before then it was turning to junk as their manufacturer was a switching to Hong Kong Electrical Appliance Co. it’s amazing you can pull an old Hunter astratford II out of the box and works flawless.

I agree. I knew the DC Panamas were bad but I held out some hope for the spinner models. After your experience earlier this year with that one though, I gave up on them all. The only newer Hunters/Casablancas I would buy would be XLP Panamas or Paramount XP. Other than that I would buy a new Original but only if it was one of the marked down ones. I wouldn't pay more than $250 for one.

I might even pay $300 for the Original but they are pricing them out of the market. It’s a shame they made some really decent stuff for the price point in the early to mid 2000s which I would have had your in my house but it truly became crap quickly.
