It's a fan Jim, but not as we know it.

Ok,  before we go any further

£200

Thats right,  you’ve seen these fans in the paper,  in other shops,  online,  but may not know how much they cost.

It’s £200,  well £199.99 actually…

BUT,  don’t click away yet,  it may be WORTH £200!

Lets look at it logically.  Most desk fans are ugly.  You wait all year for it to get hot enough to justify lugging one out of the loft,  or rushing around local stores trying to buy one as soon as the hot weather arrives, only to find them sold out.  It’s the same story every year.  Summer ALWAYS comes but we are never ready.

Sleek design is key

It would never occour to you to buy a fan and leave it on display 365 days a year.  Well thats the point of the Dyson Fan.  It “looks” nice.  The nature of it’s design for operation gives it a unique shape, almost looking like a peice of modern art.  Even it’s tilt function is elegently designed,  maintaining the style and essence of the product whilst performing it’s task admirably.

However,  for all it’s style,  it would be worth nothing if it didn’t actual move a lot of air and give a cooling affect.  It this department however,  it more than meets expectations.

Simple but effective controls

Like most fans it features just two controls.  A speed control,  and an oscillation control.  Unlike most fans though,  the speed control is a dimmer style knob,  giving FULL control over the fan speed.  The oscillation itself is smooth,  and silent.

So,  finally,  the actual fan effect.  As the name suggests,  there are no fan blades,  just a 12″ loop of plastic.  However,  seemingly from nowhere,  a steady stream of cool air pours from this loop.  Upon closer inspection the loop has a series of slits around it’s edge,  and its here the air stems from.  Like any fan,  it makes “some” noise,  but it’s not noisy.  In fact,  on it’s slower settings its very quiet.  On full power it’s certainly no noisier than a conventional or tower fan, but easily shifts as much air as it’s competition.

So,  the only question is “Why?”  and thats where it comes into it’s own.  Safety.  If you have young children,  you’l know how nerve wracking it can be having Bladed fans running,  esspecially given how intruiged children are by them.  The Dyson is totally safe,  totally bladeless and ideal for a child friendly environment.

So,  is it worth £200?

Tilting forward or backwards is simple and elegent

Thats hard to answer.  There is no alternative.  Theres nothing as elegant or stylish on the market,  and certainly nothing as safe.  It’s the Dualit toaster of fans,  and if you understand what I mean by that,  you’ll understand wether it’s worth it or not.

We’ve got a 12″ example on demonstration in the shop,  so come in and make up your own mind!
