Big Ass 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” - Black

A very nice fan. High quality materials and well constructed/designed. It's extremely quiet, I cannot even hear the motor run at all - completely silent! Fan blades are glossy white plastic as are the covers for the motor; these do not look cheap at all, in fact, exactly the opposite. Installation took me about an hour but I wasn't in a real hurry so probably could have done it faster. The instructions are clear, easy to follow and walk you right through it. Absolutely no problems in this area. Control of the fan is only with the included remote or through the smartphone app (you can also order a wall remote if you wish. Some things to note: 1. There is a ring of blue LEDs around the top that light up whenever you change the speed, turn it on or off, etc. The number of LEDs that are on indicates the speed so 3 LEDs on means you are at speed 3. These only stay on for a few seconds when you change the speed and then go out. This is really a pretty nice feature and is a quick way to see what speed you are at but if you don't like it, you can disable them with the smartphone app. 2. Each time you press a button on the remote, the fan beeps. This can be annoying and really freaked out my dogs; good news is you can also turn the beep off with the smartphone app. 3. The smartphone app works pretty well and covers all of the features/settings of the fan. Seems to be well designed and haven't noticed any issues with it. 4. Took a few times to get the wifi connection on the fan configured. This works in similar fashion to other smart home devices I have run across. First you launch the app and then look for the fan. You then connect to the fan directly via the wifi connection between your phone and the fan. From there you will select your home network and put in the network password. Once I did this, the app came back after 45 seconds or so and said everything was successful but I could not actually connect to the fan with the app over the network. A few resets and restarts later I gave up and called technical support. They answered immediately and after describing the problem suggested that I reset my WiFi router. Once I did this, the fan was visible on the network and prompted me to do a firmware upgrade. I proceeded with this and after a number of minutes the app came back and said the update completed with some problems (and no other information). At this point I could not see the fan on the network anymore so I once again reset my router and it appeared. Everything is working great at this point. I was also able to install the app on a second android phone and it found the fan and worked immediately. 4. The fan can be reversed if desired very easily through the smartphone app or with the remote control (using a convoluted series of button presses). You won't remember the button press sequence and will have to look it up every time; perhaps they should give you a sticker for the back of the remote that has these button sequences defined for easy reference. The manufacturer however recommends you don't reverse the fan at all and simply lower the speed instead. 5. The whoosh feature is pretty neat. This varies the speed of the fan between the speed you have it set on and lower speeds with the idea being that it simulates natural breezes. Tried it out for a while and seemed to work well. Despite the few hiccups getting the WiFi working, overall I am very impressed so far and would not hesitate to buy this fan again. Highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.

SO MUCH BETTER than the $200-$400 alternatives ; I am slowly replacing the noisy / inefficient $200-$400 fans with BAF 52in Haiku L fans. Over 5yrs, have now installed five(5) BAF 52in Haiku L fans. As far as Im concerned these are unmatched for air flow, noise level, and reliability. Yes at Speed #7 there is noise, but it's moving ridiculous volume of air. I rarely need to have the speed above #3. Sorry to read about quality issues ; that is NOT my experience. Have always been impressed with packaging, fit, and finish. Blades/airfoils are balanced - zero vibrations. All fans With the latest fan, bought and installed Nov 2025, was super pleased that the software has improved leaps and bounds - connecting to WiFi (using iPad) was intuitive, painless & quick. The original fan installed is used daily, and must have ~20,000 running hrs on it - it's been faultless and still super quiet. But agree there is sticker shock - these are expensive. But I got here by replacing a $300 fan after <2yrs. Occasionally these fans are sold with 20-30% discount ; that's the best time to get them.

Our old ceiling fan’s motor bit the dust so we were due for a new one. After looking around, I found the Haiku L. It was awesome looking and had so many features so I was sold. Next step was installation. I have so little DIY home install experience, but I thought I would give it a shot before hiring an electrician. To my surprise, I was able to pull it off solo! The haiku was super easy to install, with the only difficult part really being the wiring. For 90% of people it’s going to be a real easy: match white to white, black to black, ground to ground and you are good! My particular wiring was a bit more confusing due to being wiring in series with another light junction. I ended up needing to call and electrician, but we was able to guide me through my wiring setup over the phone!! He was such an allstar (Revolt Electric in Seattle if you are local). I half expected the house to light on fire after flicking back on my breaker post wiring.. but instead it all worked! The fan is beautiful, effective, and whisper quiet. A few other reviews complained about a dull electric hiss sound coming from the controller and I was prepared to hear something like that. But I don’t hear it at all. I can only hear the air moving! It’s crazy. Maybe I got a lucky unit, or maybe the other users don’t have a good enough ground connection or something.

I love this fan. Been super impressed with the brand for some time now and finally bit the bullet and have them a try during Amazon prime day sale. Worth every dollar. Considering swapping out all other fans in my home for this

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

After using other fans, which BOTH did the rawr rawr rawr electric motor sound which drove me CRAZY. put my money down on this fan. Easy to install, and silence reigns......... And at high speed, it really rocks, which will be good in the summer.

Fan itself is high quality and has a cool modern look. Gripes: 1) alexa/Google home integration seems to be flakey. After it was installed we got that working no problem, but it recently stopped working. BAF says they did a server upgrade which caused issues and they are working on it. 2) we’ve noticed that sometimes turning on our Vizio TV (which is in same room) will toggle the fans on/off state! I asked BAF about this and they said that the frequency used by some TVs is the same as the fan, there’s not too much you can do about this unless you can somehow change the tv remote frequency. Not a huge deal. Doesn’t seem to happen all the time. A workaround could be using Bluetooth or apps to control tv etc.

Found this fan to be 1/3 the weight of our previous 1980’s-style fan. Although the blades are made of a plastic material, they seem to be solid and they don’t appear cheap once installed - especially once spinning at Mach Schnéll. We were experiencing issues with our previous hunk of sh*t whereas it would mysteriously turn on in the middle of the night - likely due to interference from some other signal or because ghosts. This one has solved the issue. The light is also LED and quite bright once turned to the highest setting. Little blue indicator lights identify what fan speed has been selected. The remote is tiny in man-sized hands. Overall, very satisfied with everything but the price tag.
