Silent and powerful

My parents had an old Casablanca that ran 24 hours a day for about 20 years. It finally croaked and they went through several replacement box store fans, each only lasting a few years. Had this delivered and we installed over Christmas. Purchased the i6, downrod, and wall switch for when the remote gets lost. Fan was pretty straightforward to install. Moves a ton air, extremely quite, and is very stable. It hardly moves at all even on the longer downrod at max speed (which is honestly higher than they would ever want). Being able to choose light color is a great touch, although I wish it could be done without the app. So far I (and the parents) am very pleased. Given the price and apparent build quality expect this fan to last for many years.

Best in class is worth it

I've purchased 3 different Big Ass fan models, 9 fans in total - and every time I see them running, I'm glad I went Big. Commercial grade quality and brilliant engineering is just a pleasure to witness. At least for me, there's beauty in great design, so why not have some in your midst.

Air flow

Amazing wind flow. Don’t let the price deter you and lead you into buying anything cheaper! You get what you pay for. This was a fight with our new build. My hubby bucked me with this one but we are in southern Louisiana and he is now thanking me for going against him!!! Definitely no regrets!

Great outdoor fan

High quality engineering built into the i6. Live on the Texas coast and it is very stable in windy conditions. Pushes an amazing amount of air compared to the previous brand I tried. Built to withstand the elements

i6-Outdoor-Brushed Aluminum-72 in-Universal Mount

The fan rubs metal to metal while on. I have sent a video to Ethan DeRossett of the fan on. I was told a new fan will be shipped to replace the current fan i have. I have not received the replacement fan nor can i use the current one I have purchased.

Well built but doesn’t perform well

This is a very well built fan but does not perform nearly as well as I thought it would. Very dissatisfied with the performance. I would not have made this purchase if I had know. I bought it bass on a friend that has one. Doesn’t move air the way I think it should.

Pricy but worth it!

The fan is beautiful, functional and built with obvious quality. It makes all the difference in the world when using my outdoor patio in the middle of the hot Texas summer. It also had even more features than I thought . . . including the ability to use voice commands (via connected Alexa device) to control the fan and light, both power and speed/brightness. These fans are pricy, but worth it!

Quality fan but not “big ass”

Be realistic about the size fan you need. I bought this one. It’s a cool fan but doesn’t hang down far enough and blades don’t have the reach for my high bay location. So, perhaps it is a five star fan but my performance on specing it only gets two stars. I might move it to another location where it will be a full five stars.

River front porch fan

Perfectly balanced right out of the box. This fan is remarkably well manufactured and actually a joy to install. We liked the first one so much that we purchased second for our river front porch. During this past summer we realized how much more comfortable our porch was now that we replaced the exiting fan and upgraded to the BAF.

i6 Just love the fan

Love the fan, needed a larger fan to cool my porch, this fit the bill, was easy to install, took about 2 hours, and totally enjoy sitting on the porch now with a cool breeze. Like the remote control and the speed settings, also works with Alexa which was an added feature I didn't realize until I set up the fan.

Fans > Chandeliers

We put this big badass fan in our living area vs a chandelier. No regrets. It is functional art.

i6 fan review covered deck installation

We are loving our i6 84" dia. fan! Super quiet and provides even, gentle breeze over our entire deck. Very pleased and installation was a snap!

100% satisfied with all of my BAF's.

The fan is everything they say it is. Moves tons of air. No motor hum or noise. Stable with no wobble. When you install the fan make sure your airfoils are inserted all the way. Do not lock them down till you have all of the airfoils inserted. If you have any sort of wobble, stop the fan and reseat your airfoils. I have installed three i6 fans.

Buggy and clicks

Very unhappy with the bugs in the software or fan itself. Many times the light doesn’t work and I have to play with the remote or switch to reset the fan power before it will work again. Also the fan clicks despite 100% accurate installation. Sad I paid so much for this and maybe I just got a bad egg.

Pricey, but worth the premium...

Love the fan. I wish it wasn't so expensive. However, the expense is not a valid reason for deducting points from the review. As such, I'm giving it the five stars it deserves.

Not as good as they think they are.

6 weeks to obtain a warranty replacement I6 fan. Big Ass fan rep ignores emails on the fan shipping. Nothing special or wow about a I6 fan that another manufacture cant provide. Big Bucks for a sucky warranty and employees who cant follow up with a warranty.

Great fan, but difficult to install properly

We love the fan now that it is up. Looks great & is super quiet. But, it was difficult to install. The biggest challenge was to get the blades balanced. We needed tech support to get it done. Thankfully, they were very good.

I6 disappointed

Vibrates and rattles on startup. Would think for the price it would be flawless and stable. Replacement is 2 weeks out on a fan that is brand new. Also, have to pay electrician another $300 to remove and install the fan. Very disappointed.

What a let down!

I built a 30 x 50 shop and placed this in the center. The quality of the fan is really nice. The installation of the fan was great. The looks are really nice. I love the high tech appearance. When I pushed the button and turned it up to high, my heart sank. To spend over $1,600 on a fan, I want it to move air. Total let down. I sent a review before just like this one, they didn't post it. In that review I questioned, could you send me some bigger blades or add-on parts that I could add on to the existing blades so it actually moves air, no reply. I know one thing, when my shop buddies stop over, I'll tell them how I feel. I feel really let down. I wish I saw a comment like this one before I spent $1,600 on a nice looking ceiling ornament. I kept my 18" squirrel cage fan that will move air for me. Thanks for nothing "Big Ass Fan"

Beautiful and Powerful

Absolutely beautiful and powerful fan. Easy to control from the app or the remote. It’s the same highly efficient and effective fan you might see in your gym or a warehouse but in a super-refined and scaled down package. Love this fan.
