Bit of a bump, but I do think it's easier to put single fans and such into one thread. Picked this 42" Summer Breeze up today, been looking for this exact configuration for awhile (though I would pick up any 42" SB). Globes are oversized for my tastes, but that's a genuine Hunter fitter and it's all original.

I hate 52" Summer Breezes with a passion, Menards sold them before Home Depot came to this area, and they became what Hampton Bays and Harbor Breezes are now-- the standard fan that replaced cool fans.
I kind of like the 42" ones!

Right? I like Summer Breezes alright, but I agree with you that I hate how they were the standard replacement fan from Menards. At one point there were like 8 or more Summer Breezes at my Habitat, there's two there right now I think. I used to rarely see them used but now they're like weeds.
The small ones IMO have a really cute thing going for them. I don't know what it is, maybe that they're way less common as well but I really like them a lot.

But seriously, Menards has/had fans installed in its snack bars, cool fans. What everyone's trying to say is that the Summer Breeze was the fan of choice when it came to replacing said cool fans.

Not just in Menards installs, but everywhere. They started turning up EVERYWHERE installed in place of cool fans.

I like those 42" Summer Breezes, the oversized shades give the fan a lot of character!

This NuTone Hug-The-Ceiling showed up at my house this past weekend, it was the last fan to come out of the remodel at my church. I thought it was long gone months ago, I guess they were gonna reuse it but decided against it. I'm glad they did because it's in horrible shape. It was in the kitchen dish room so it's got a lot of surface rust and slightly swelled blades from the moisture and humidity, and it hung low so it's been whacked a few times. Lots of bearing noise and vibration, the same noises it made when installed at the church. You can't see it here but there's also a notch cut out of the housing where Wiremold went through feeding back to the wall control. IDK if I'm gonna keep it. I think the 42" ones are cute and this is the exact fan from my childhood but the condition is really bad.

It looks ok to me. Blades can be replaced, and it could even be painted!

Looking at the photo, it looks to be in great shape.. I'm not big on huggers, but If saw this one locally, I would pick it up.. If you like it that much, you could always replace the bearings..

I just watched the video.. Sounds like the ball bearings rattling.. Have you tried oiling? I oil the bearings when I come across a fan that has this noise with the bearings, and it usually goes away..

What kind of fan replaced the NuTone? I like it, it's cool looking!
