Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A table fan that quietly and effectively cools an entire room without any blades? Introducing the Dyson Air Multiplier, which works differently from conventional fans. The Air Multiplier uses an airfoil-shaped ramp to amplify the airflow 15 to 18 times to create a cool blast of smooth air without the unpleasant buffeting caused by spinning blades. The energy-efficient motor draws in more than 5 gallons of air per second using the same technologies used in jet engines. The air passes over the airfoil-shaped ramp, which channels its direction. Air behind and around the machine is also drawn into the airflow, amplifying it at least 15 times for a quiet, cool breeze that will let you relax. With no blades or grille to get in the way, the Air Multiplier is safe around kids and pets, and it’s easy to clean too. The touch-tilt feature pivots on its own center of gravity, letting it stay put without clamping. You can also adjust the airflow to get as much as you want. There’s no “high,” “medium,” or “low”; the dimmer switch lets you set the exact power level you want. The Air Multiplier oscillates with a touch up to 90 degrees to cover a whole room. Includes base, loop amplifier, and operating manual. 2-year warranty. Measures 21.5 x 14 x 6 inches with 12-inch loop.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overhyped and deceptively advertised July 30, 2010

By Silicon Valley Guy

Dyson advertises that this fan moves 5 gallons per second of air. That translates to 40 cubic feet per minute. This is how fans are typically specified. But Dyson won't use those units of measurement, because that would allow you to make the comparison yourself and realize just what a lousy air mover this fan is.

To put this into perspective, a small clip-on 6" fan can move 190 cubic feet per minute. That little fan costs about $20.

Dyson achieves this deception through props - typically streamers placed around the edge of the fan in store displays and ads. Sure, the air does move quickly from the edge of the fan, just as fast as it moves from conventional fans. However, this is only a thin ring of air movement in the case of the Dyson fans - versus a full circle of air movement from a conventional fan. This helps to explain the difference in air moving performance.

Conventional fans are also quieter. Again, that little 6" clip-on is only 37 decibels. The Dyson is 50 decibels.

The Dyson fan is beautiful and safe. But as a fan, it is loud, has terrible air flow, and is preposterously overpriced other than as a work of art.

Better to buy a fan that works and some artwork that isn't masquerading as a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Innovative but flimsy July 12, 2010

By N. Gustavsson

Amazon Verified Purchase

It lives up to all the cool blade-less design and all, but I was very surprised over that I payed so much money for some cleverly shaped plastic. For whatever reason I expected the base to be in brushed aluminum and maybe even part of the ring. But no, sadly everything is plastic. Using a heavier metal would have also helped with cutting down the noise a bit which also was a good bit more than I had expected. I have regular fans that do not sound as much as this thing. If you like cool design and know before hand that a) it is plastic all the way and b) it makes some noise, I am sure you will be happy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Moves air But make 500HZ tone at low speed July 3, 2010

By CGC

Dyson Air Multiplier? table fan - 10" white

I,m a product and design engineer by trade , and have years of experience , We live on Cape Cod and
do not use air conditioning during the summer, when its hot we use table fans and window fans and have
about 4 types that we use around the house to keep cool on the hot days and nights.
When I saw the Dyson 10" ring fan on a show room floor it seemed to move the air well , and did not seem noisy.
I then purchased the product and when I received it and and took it out of the box it moved the air well but
was very noisy on low speed and has a constant "loud" 500HZ tone that everyone in the house can hear , even in
rooms at the far end of the house on a quite day or night . This 500 hz Noise is not something you get used to and
compared to some of our other bladed fans running on slow , the Dyson Ring fan is very noisy .
Until Dyson fixes this problem , the product will not serve much purpose as we have our's switched
off do to the noise , it's now acting as a $300 dust collector , which it seems to do very well.
I can only say that for the price I expected more from Dyson , I would not recommend this product to anyone, do not buy
this product unless you have a house or building with a lot of background noise like in a city , In fact maybe
Dysons lab is in a noisy building in down town London . I give it a very Bad rating due to the Noise it makes.
