Best looking
The Hunter Symphony sports a clean, modern design with a unique curved blade tip, making it the focal point of any room. This three-blade beauty comes in three distinct finishes capable of circulating the air in large living spaces. This fan also comes with dimmable LED lighting, making it ready to go right out of the box.
Best for small spaces
Hunter's Advocate ceiling fan is perfect for spaces that do not have a lot of room overhead. This low-profile fan still has plenty of power thanks to its DC motor with six different speeds, and like other Hunter fans, it is available in three beautiful finishes with reversible blades.
Best wood finish
The greyed oak/greyed walnut look will fit perfectly with your cooler-toned decor. The three-position mounting system lets you mount the fan the standard way, lower, or angled. You can also reverse direction for optimal airflow in any season.
Best heavy duty
Hunter's Apache brings an industrial look to the otherwise dull nature of ceiling fans. This fan features a twisted blade design that attaches "sideways" to the motor housing with exposed fasteners. This fan isn't just about looks, though, as its 54-inch blade span can cool down the largest rooms in a hurry.
Best for style
Hunter's Ananova takes a more traditional approach to design, with exposed bulbs inside of clear glass and five blades. The Ananova connects to your network via Wi-Fi, enabling HomeKit functionality, and it works with a handy remote. Unlike most modern fans, the Ananova includes three removable LED light bulbs so you can customize your home's lighting to meet your needs.
Best modern
Big breeze
The Hunter Aerodyne has four large 52-inch blades built for more extensive areas — perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. While the Aerodyne's blades are not reversible, the fan comes in two modern finishes, including a stunning matte silver and a slick matte black that will look great in most homes. Other highlights include four adjustable speeds, a handy remote, and HomeKit control.
Best Budget
Something different
Though almost all our fans so far have been Hunter, the Smafan Glacier is a great choice thanks to its 52-inch blades, 10 central speeds, and great app connectivity. It helps that the light oak finish looks fantastic in motion and the reversible motor means you can run it any way you like.
Keep your cool with the best HomeKit ceiling fans
The best HomeKit ceiling fans are a magical way to get the air in your home moving with the convenience of Home app controls on your iOS device or with your voice through Siri. HomeKit fans also support limitless automation potential so that you can tie them into your home's air conditioner or even your smart HomeKit light bulbs. If temperature regulation is a big part of your smart home plans, you should be considering one of the best HomeKit thermostats as well as a ceiling fan.
We love the Hunter Symphony ceiling fan for its clean design and ability to keep the air circulating in the largest spaces. If you want modern smart home functionality but want to keep things simple, then the Hunter Ananova is for you. This fan has the standard clear glass lights and five-blade design, but it also packs in all HomeKit goodies and a handheld remote.
If you have a lower ceiling or otherwise need a fan with a lower profile, we recommend the Hunter Advocate. It's simple and modern-looking with multiple color options and six speeds to get the air circulating at your preferred speed.
