HAIKU fan L series (White)

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.

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

Fantastic fan; so much better than even the most expensive options available at Home Depot or Lowes. The installation was so simple in comparison to other ceiling fans I have installed. Everything fits together perfectly, the fan looks great, and it is truly silent. Even at full speed, which produces a nearly gale force wind, all you can hear is a whooshing sound of the air being moved - no annoying mechanical sounds like all of our existing ceiling fans. These are expensive, but once you've seen and heard one in action, it is only a metter of time before you will be replacing all of your other fans...

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.

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.
