Installing a helicopter-strength propeller system onto the ceiling may seem a bit over the top, but only until the stale or humid air penetrates. At that point, anything seems better than the point-and-shoot style of fan that plugs into your wall, circulating select pockets of air. Thankfully, Big Ass Fans fills the void. Their Isis fan takes a plural list of superlatives to the next level, being the strongest, lightest commercial fan with the quietest operating system the world has ever seen.

Isis by Big Ass Fans Combines Commercial and Residential Air Flow Innovation with Undisputed Beauty

Previously mentioned in our Top Ten: Residential Ceiling Fans post, the Isis is the jet engine of pseudo-wind machines for both residential and commercial use. As we summarized in that November piece, “since the summer of 2009 the Isis has used the same ‘sturdy components and aerodynamic principles’ as all Big Ass Fans. Prior to that, these mammoth-sized circulating machines were built for commercial spaces. But now, in what they’re calling a ‘lighter, smaller and customizable package’ the Isis is ideal for public and commercial spaces in its 8 to 10-ft diameter frame.”

The sweetly silent Isis fan can be applied to more than just your house ceiling. You can use them on any lower ceiling spaces, including restaurants, bars, health clubs, libraries, and offices to filter in fresh air. It has a compact control switch that makes both installation and daily use a cinch, not to mention its energy-efficiency that combines the power of nine, 52-inch ceiling fans into one. Additionally, its proprietary prime mover safely housed inside of the 8 ft, 9 ft, or 10 ft diameter fans allows the Isis to operate at less than 35 dBA at its fastest speed.

Isis sits perfectly above you as a ceiling fan for rooms as low as 12 ft tall. Striving towards innovation with its technical characteristics housed inside the streamlined design, Big Ass Fans has indeed opened up the market to many breaths of fresh air.
