Dyson Fan?
 
They look cool don't they? I think I want one.

Cool down with this bladeless table fan that features Air Multiplier technology that generates smooth, constant airflow and draws air in and amplifies it 15 times for powerful results. The touch-tilt feature allows for pivoting movement without clamping.

Looks like some kind of portal to another dimension.

Nice, thought they are just selling vacuum cleaner.

candyflip 07-12-2010 08:26 AM

I bought one and it worked quite nicely, but I couldn't justify the $300 price tag...so I boxed it back up and returned it. $100, it would be worth it.

I love my Dyson vacuums though. Yes, I have two at home and one in storage from my shop.

Tom_PM 07-12-2010 08:27 AM

Is that a real thing?

I like the Vornado fans. They blast a tight "beam" of gale force wind.

thickcash_amo 07-12-2010 08:29 AM

$300?!?!? hell no! Plus I like the sound of a fan, so I couldn't have one that is so quiet.

budz 07-12-2010 08:30 AM

I'd so put my balls in it after a shower

$300 is the cost of the small one. There's a bigger one that's a big more expensive.

Holy shit. Do yourself a favor. Spend $40 on a small Vornado. If you havent used one, you just dont know.

docputer 07-12-2010 08:54 AM

That is the first time I have seen financing offered on a fan.

Amputate Your Head 07-12-2010 08:57 AM

My $15 dollar fan from Ace Hardware works just fine.

I have a Dyson Vacuum and like it so much that I've taken over the vacuuming duties at home.

Dyson also makes hand dryers for public bathrooms. I've seen them in only 2 places here in Montreal but I hope they'll catch on. You basically point your hands straight down into this U-shaped thing and BLAM! Instant dry. It's super quiet too - much better than the noisemakers usually found in most restaurant bathrooms.

Lightning 07-12-2010 08:59 AM

I checked one out and they are pretty cool, but not really worth the $$$ in my opinin.:2 cents:

CIVMatt 07-12-2010 09:01 AM

I only buy fans for the noise so I can sleep

Ross 07-12-2010 09:26 AM

I love the Dyson hand dryers you get nowadays in washrooms. I swear I am getting one in my new house.

Was it quiet?

Silent. It's doesn't make any discernible noise.

Luscious Media 07-12-2010 09:41 AM

Here's a decent review on it. We have a vacuum. LOVE IT! We'll pass on the $300 desk fan though.


candyflip 07-12-2010 09:46 AM

The guy in the review says it all.

If you want to look cool and spend $300, then by all means...go for it.

BFT3K 07-12-2010 09:53 AM

Great concept, but not for $300.

Next year it will probably be $150... then maybe half that in 2 years, and suddenly it's a realistic option.

For now, you can get WAY more wind from a fan for $19.99 - or way more cool, from a decent air conditioner for $199.

It sounds like the computer humming at my feet, which for a fan is pretty much silent compared to your standard box fan.

That's pretty much what is inside the base of the unit, a small power supply and a fan...you can see the venting if you look closely.

I was thinking of putting up ceiling fans up so I could save on the air conditioner as it's been in the high 90's here and I know the electric bill is going to be huge. I'm sure these fans will be going down on price soon.

Chosen 07-12-2010 09:50 PM

Looks pretty interesting :)

PersianKitty 07-12-2010 09:55 PM

For $300 it better do something more than just blow :winkwink:

mynameisjim 07-12-2010 10:02 PM

Maybe it's because of where I grew up but fans were always what poor people used in the summertime because they couldn't afford an air conditioner. BTW, my house always had fans growing up..lol.

But my point is, if you can spend $300 on a gimmicky fan, you can probably afford air conditioning and probably don't need a fan.

Ceiling fans won't actually cool the room as you are adding extra heat with running a motor.

I think that is what they are hoping for. People that want one just because it's gimmicky.

Sarah_Jayne 07-13-2010 05:21 AM

I saw one in the store the other day. It looked cool (no pun intended) but it was seriously expensive.

I agree by the way that their hand dryers in public bathrooms over here are great fun. Also have used the vacuum for over 5 years now and wouldn't have another brand.

PlugRush Sascha 07-13-2010 07:06 AM

Looks pretty cool.
