2014-06-06
am seen that's right Crist here in Lexington Kentucky at the test labs of Big Ass Fans now that's a funny name but they're very serious about ceiling fans and their haiku ceiling fan is a very high-end model that they're putting smarts into this year they call it sense me technology now these smarts bring a whole extra layer of modern luxury into the picture they can tell when you come and go they are programmable the light can come on in the morning to wake you up or it can simulate occupancy while you're on vacation and there's a lot of cool things through there very handy sense me app on the iOS device of your choice now the app isn't going to be out on android for at least six months they tell us which is a little disappointing but the app is very cool we played with it quite a bit here at the lab you can set it to tell when you come into the room and when you leave and turn off automatically you can have it turn on or turn up whenever it gets too hot so it just makes you comfortable on its own another impressive thing about this fan is the build quality take a look at those blades or not actually blades at all their air foils they're curved and they're kind of delicately constructed but they're not delicate either if you take a look at this test we were able to actually smash it against the table and doesn't put a dent in it they're very very sturdy made out of compressed bamboo that they claim is as strong as a flexible steel and we're inclined to believe them after this test anyway the Haiku with cents me clearly a very high-end fan the normal haiku retails for 895 and you'll pay an extra 150 to get the haiku sensory technology built into it so a grand total of 1045 if you want this connected ceiling fan the first of its kind for seeing it I'm Rui Chris you
