With a girth as large as its name suggests, Big Ass Fans’ Isis Fan took top honors for its efficiency: it can circulate as much air as nine ceiling fans. Made of lightweight aircraft grade aluminum, the fan measures 8 to10ft. in diameter, and can be installed in ceilings 12ft. or higher. This caused some discussion among the judges; Black felt it may not be for everyone, only for large spaces with high ceilings. Jupiter felt it important to highlight a lesser-known product like this, to raise awareness in hopes that the company can expand its line and prosper.
