I was chosen to review Dyson’s Air Multiplier. Have you seen one? It is the most innovative, most eye-catching and most ludicrously overpriced item Dyson has released yet. And I kind of love it.
The Dyson Air Multiplier fan doesn’t have any blades, which means it is completely different from your standard house fan. As with all their products it features a unique design and technology developed by Dyson. Air is sucked into the bottom of the fan through what I’m assuming is an internal fan (I guess the fan does have fan blades you just don’t see them!) then the air is then sent out through a tiny slit around the edge of the fan ring…and that air going out pulls more air with it which ends up being around 16 times the amount of air the fan pulls in. The technology is mind-bending and the design is modern but my favorite part is that it is kid-friendly!
It’s comforting to have a fan that I can leave in the kids room and not worry about them sticking their fingers (or who knows what) into the fan. It’s pet-friendly too! My little pup can sniff it all she wants and I’ll never have to be concerned about her tail getting sucked in. Another great thing about this fan is how simple it is to clean! I can easily dust this fan with a few swipes of the rag unlike my old fan which required unscrewing the front off and tediously cleaning each blade. Because it’s so easy to clean it will actually get dusted and therefore it will cut down on household allergies!
When I received my Dyson fan in the mail I eagerly opened it and was shocked to only find two pieces. It was a breeze to assemble {pun intended}! It easily snapped into place and I found the controls self explanatory. There is a on/off button, a oscillating control, and a speed control. I liked the option to smoothly increase the speed instead of the standard low, medium, and high options. The fan can also be angled forward or backward to shoot the air exactly where you want it to go.
Dyson sells two sizes of table fans, a twelve inch one and a ten inch one like I reviewed. The ten inch one retails for $299.99. They also sell tower fans and a pedestal fan.
Pros:
- Safe for the entire family
- Completely unique design
- Easy to clean
- Powerful
- Low calming hum, not loud
Cons:
- Costs a ton more than any fan I’ve ever owned
I admit it, a $300 fan is quite expensive! Even for a wonderful fan…even a beautiful fan…even a safe fan…I’m downright humiliated for liking it, especially in this economy. But like it, I really like it, I do.
