Hunter Whisperwind 2000 -- Worth Buying?

[Jordan U]

At a local tag sale today I came across an NIB white Hunter Whisperwind 2000, it was for $60..if it was brass I would have been more tempted to grab it..but it was white..my question is..how good are these fans..are they extremely powerful? I'm a regular at this particular tag sale so I could probably talk them down a little.. would it be worth while to go back and get it?

They seem to be pretty good fans, they have the Airmax motor I believe.

I'd definitely try to talk them down even though its NIB.

AirMax motor blows average amount of air, at least my Triomphe does, but also blows heat away from motor so motor doesn't get too hot.

They're decently desirable fans, if you could talk them down a bit I think it'd be worth grabbing being that it's NIB. It's kind of in that range where it's tough to say though, I would say you have to factor in your personal preference for it as well here and not just rely on what we say. I like them, so I'd probably do it at a slightly lower price, but that doesn't make it the right choice for you.

I like them a lot. I've got three, though only one is installed at the moment. I like the way they look and they move a fair amount of air. I've been happy with them. Is it one of the ones that comes with a light kit? If it's not I would definitely talk them down in price. These are getting harder to find.

I would say so. $60.00 is a little bit more than what a lot of us here would pay for one, however these certainly aren't cheap fans.

Did you end up getting it?

I've heard these are over $200 new.. assuming the bearings aren't spoiled $60 doesn't seem bad.

I like the brass ones a fair bit better than the white ones.. but they're still nice too.. especially if they move a lot of air.. I'm not sure if it includes the light kit or not.. I hope it does..

Thanks Cole. This is good advice.
