Do these actually move air? The only brand I trust at this point in my life is Hunter. Everything else is barely noticeable even at high speeds.
Worst mistake I ever made was getting fan-curious and going beyond hunter. You will never be able to go back, but you will always see hunter fan prices and wish you could.
These are superior in every way, but you pay for it.
I'm in market looking for 52 inch low profile/flush mount ceiling type fan. I heard hunter is good. Want a air flow up to 5000 cfm. Can you suggest?
I would not buy Hunter. The issue is the electronics. MinkaAire is another great option to Haiku.
The amount of air pushed is very dependent upon the gap between the fan blades and the ceiling- almost exponentially. So, a low profile fan, irrespective of brand will not move as much air.
Too expensive.
Maybe if they made it look like plane propeller, with wood materials etc might be worth the price. You don't need smart fan, you can get smart controller/switch as alternative.
Most fans sold today include a shitty remote for all fan speed/light features. A smart switch will only control the on/off feature. I don't know about this brand but I can see the interest.

Once you have one - you'll never be buy a shitty fan again. Especially the even more expensive models with temperature sensors that automatically turn them on
Fans don't provide AC. They circulate air and create a breeze. If it's 78 in a room then the fan is circulating 78 degree air.

Not sure I understand your comment re: smart switches. I have a Leviton switch running a very old Hunter fan in my living room. With Alexa/ST integration I can adjust the speed of the fan from 1-100%, I can set schedules and routines, determine temperature ranges through smart thermostat at which the fan will run and also speeds through those ranges, and so on. I do have a separate switch for the downlight on the fan, but I understand that there are combo smart switches that incorporate both functions into one wall plate slot.
And yes, most remotes included with fan sales these days are crap low/med/hi/off and light dimmer.

You're paying for a smart fan and a name.
The sensor is not a ac, and lavander never said it was. Think of the sensor like a thermostat that controls the ac. The sensor just turns on the fan once it reaches X temperature

I bought two 'shitty' smart CARRO fans last week (from SmaFan.com) and love them for $145 each App control, remote, dc motor 10 speed. With tax the BAF's would be $1000 and not sure how long I will live in current home and darn sure I'm not taking them with me.
…and regarding fan speed/CFM, when did you last run on full speed for longer than a minute or so?

If I look at the specs it runs at 5,604 CFM. I recently bought five 54 inch fans for the price of this one from a recent home Depot sale. That runs at 4800 CFM which is more than enough. So this fan does seem to move more air and has a bunch of integration that may make it worthwhile for some. But to be honest, I don't need to schedule anything or have it on auto. If I want it on, I'll just press a button. I'm not sure how this fan qualifies as a front page deal

It's also far quieter. Much more stable / balanced. Built to last. Amazing customer support.

No brainer for me.
