Big Fans – Haiku L, Smart Ceiling Fan – Energy Efficient Cooling for Home, Bedroom, Office, Living Space, and More – 16 Lighting Settings with 7 Speed Settings – 52” - White

Bastante malo. Compré dos y uno llegó con el módulo descompuesto. Es un ventilador de altísimo precio para tener una falla de ese tipo.

Yes it’s expensive but it’s worth it in my opinion. It was fairly easy to install for someone who’s handy. The wire connectors were a bit difficult to get situated in the cover but I eventually got it. I live that you can control it with your phone and voice. I have it set up with homebridge so it’s always available with a swipe down on the control center (iOS). The remote is improved over previous versions and works at more angles. I wish they made a WiFi or RF remote so guests can control it. For now I’m using Philips hue dimmer remotes to control them with HomeKit. It looks great unlike the clunky fans sold elsewhere. They’re super energy efficient and quiet. Just wish they were cheaper so I could buy more.

UPDATED: Purchased April 2019, update April 2021... OVERALL: 1.0 stars (updated) 1. $1 remote is getting flaky... Buttons need to be pressed multiple times to get them to function. For a now $750 fan, they could at least provide a better designed remote that's reliable over time. 2. I was about to rip the fan down, but decided to dig into what is making the noise. As you can see, the $0.50 injection molded parts are the culprits. They fit too closely and cause "ticking" noises every rotation. At first it was the bottom ring, then the top rings. While the ticking has gone away, the rings are there for a purpose. They help reduce the now, annoying whirling noise of the motor/bearings. Instead of putting Band-Aids on the gushing noise problem, why don't you have your engineers solve the problem at the source. This is noise reduction 101 guys. But, then you guys could just send a small roll of masking tape and ask the customer to do what I did to fix your problem. 3. Will be moving to a new house later this year... Can't wait to rip this fan off the ceiling and inspect the rings for flatness and roundness (surface plate, indicators, snap gauges). I doubt either will portray high quality injection molding qualities. Then it's Dremel time to relieve the "issues" create by the Haiku engineers. The new home of this fan will be in my new shop where a noisy fan won't be an issue. But, damn will my shop look great with a Haiku fan! 4. And, it blows my mind that this fan has increased in price over $150 since I bought it. In no way is this fan worth it. And, mind you... I have never been contacted by Haiku to address this issue. Good luck with their market hyped products. I will never buy another one of their products, and you likely shouldn't either unless you like annoying noises. ******************************************* (prior review) Yeah, sure it looks pretty, get over it! But, let's talk the facts about operation of a $500+ fan after using it for over a year. I wanted a fan for the bedroom that was quiet. Thought a DC motor fan would be a good way to go. 1. The remote is too small, gets lost easy and is really cheap looking and feeling. It's still working, but my initial doubts are still there whether it would last. 2. For the life of me, I cannot get the clicking sound to go away. I have moved the shroud to multiple positions without any success. I have tried reassembly of the blades - cheating their positions radially inward and outward based on the clearances. No luck again. There is a fit issue between the top shroud parts that causes them to become misaligned over days that then causes a once per rotation clicking noise. I now will never buy another fan made mostly with plastic parts for the covers and blades. The tolerances for plastics should be much better than for sheet metal, but I think they closed the gaps up to make it look prettier. And, thus you get fit issues. 3. When not clicking, there is a whirling noise form the motor on the lowest setting. Again, horrible while sleeping. This noise is coming from the motor. I don't get how this is allowable from a product development standpoint. The DC motors that I design into robotic products don't make this much noise, even with gearboxes! 4. I will give kudos for the assembly instructions and ease by which the assembly can be done. DFA is A+. SUMMARY: This fan is a waste of money if you want a quiet fan. It's only acceptable for a room where ambient noise is constantly present. It does a good job with the moving of air minus the serious noise issue that you have when trying to sleep. I finally got sick of the sound and moved it to the spare bedroom/office now due to COVID. I thought about diving into the fan to find the root cause, but it's such a pain to be standing on a bed with your head between the blades.

I've had two of these installed now for a few months, and there are some definite pros and cons (which I consider to be inherent design flaws). Pros: - These babies move some air! If you want to cool off a room, they will work much better than any traditional ceiling fan. - Extremely quiet. - The mobile app is great. Cons: - IR remote. This is just bad design. You cannot operate the fan/light while the remote is in the caddy mounted on the wall because of the use of IR. Even my cheap Hunter fans from Home Depot use RF to avoid this pitfall. This one is just unforgivable to me at this extremely high price point. - Because of the IR remote, you either use the mobile app or have to take the remote out of the caddy and point it at the fan. - Sure, it has 7 speeds. Unfortunately, the lowest setting is still pushing about the same amount of air as a traditional ceiling fan on medium or medium-high. If you just want a gentle breeze, it's not possible with this fan. I consider this another design flaw. Overall, I wouldn't purchase these again. I'd never recommend a fan with an IR wireless remote, because it removes its use as a wall switch. At this price point and with the company's stellar reputation, I expected better.

This is my second Haiku fan, and I really like them both. This particular fan is white and it looks fantastic and is (usually) super quiet. Now for the bad stuff... I can't get over how such a beautifully designed fan could have such a disgusting smudge of a logo in such a visible location. For those that aren't aware, it's sort of a triangle shape with a donkey in the middle. For a fan named Haiku, it's a fairly simple minded logo. I understand the desire to put a logo on the fan from a branding and marketing perspective, but it's in a very prominent location and really just looks like a giant gray smudge from a distance. I can't help thinking that the person that designed the beautiful fan could have been consulted on the size and placement of the logo. Surely they'd have a better sense of taste than the person that just slapped it on the side of the fan? I couldn't stand laying in bed and staring up at it, so I eventually took some acetone and *carefully* wiped it off. It left the surface a little rough, but I can't tell from a distance and I no longer need to see the gray smudge. Next, for the price, it would have been nice if it included a wall switch or at least a mounting bracket for the remote that could be installed on top of the switch. Instead, I had to pay another $100 to get the wall mounted switch. And even then, the optional wall mounted switch isn't wonderful. I'm beginning to learn where to find the light and fan buttons on the face of the switch, but it would be nice if I could find it by feel a little easier in the dark. My fan has started making a very faint high pitched noise when operating at lower speeds. I'm not sure what it is and I'm pretty sure I can live with it, but I hope it doesn't get worse over time. It was also making a clicking noise the other day. The sound would go away if I placed my hand on the light and slightly stabilized the fan, so I'm assuming it was just wobbling a little and causing the plastic bits to squeak. (like a dashboard squeak in a car) Finally, the color and intensity of the light isn't wonderful, but I suppose that's more of an issue with LED lights in general. To my eye, it has a slightly green cast and the fixture is pretty small, so it ends up looking fairly harsh in my bedroom. I can live with it, but it would be nice if the surface area of the lighting fixture was larger or they used some other means to provide softer, more pleasing light. Having said all that, you might think I hate it, but I actually really like it despite my complaints. It looks beautiful and moves a great amount of air without being excessively noisy. Hopefully the fine folks over at Haiku / Big Ass Fans will take the feedback and continue to refine an otherwise wonderful product.
