Flagged as a product to avoid

4 of 9 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

Extensive documented owner-service complaints: ConsumerAffairs' Hunter review page records customers calling the experience a nightmare and warning others not to buy unless they want a full-time job dealing with customer service, and the BBB's Hunter Fan complaint page shows the same pattern, with no expert-guide wins to offset it.
