Hampton Bay 52 in. LED Ceiling Fan vs Hunter Builder Elite 52 in. Ceiling Fan

Both are 52-inch indoor fans with three LED bulbs and five blades, so the choice comes down to motor and control. The Hunter Builder Elite's DC motor gives six speeds, quieter running and better efficiency, and it includes a remote. The Hampton Bay is a basic three-speed AC fan with a pull chain and no dimming. Buy the Hunter for a bedroom or any room where noise and speed control matter. Buy the Hampton Bay if you want a simple, proven fan with a bronze finish and flush-mount option.

• Choose the Hampton Bay if you want a plain three-speed fan with a pull chain, a flush-mount option for a low ceiling, and an oil-rubbed bronze finish.
• Choose the Hunter Builder Elite if you want a quieter six-speed DC motor, an included remote, and reversible blades in a white finish.
