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 19.5 x 12 x 6
inches with 10-inch loop.

Works as promised... needs some
improvements
By A. Dichter
We were attracted to this fan due to its "cool" factor and it
performs as advertised. However for its commanding price, it could use
some improvements such as:
The silver coating on the 12" model looks like cheap plastic. We
exchanged ours for the 10" model in gloss white and it presented a
significantly more refined appearance.
We purchased the Dyson to replace a standard table fan in a
mini-home theater room to reduce the noise level. Sadly, the Dyson, due
to its high speed internal turbo motor, was noticeably louder than the
fan it was to replace. We kept it anyhow but for a different
application.
For the money, a simple remote control would have been a welcome
addition.
The variable speed control is a nice touch but its range seems
limited to "medium" on its lowest setting, reducing its usefulness for
close-up gentle (and quiet) cooling (in our instance, sharing a computer
table).
That said, it it does move a lot of air, looks great and it a
no-brainer for anyone with small children.

The Coolness Cools Off Quickly
By Captain Latte
I recently bought this at Costco for $188. Yep, if you want to save a
little money, that is where you can get a "cheaper" one. I used it for a
few weeks and returned it. We have a 2 1/2 year-old daughter so thought
that it might be nice to have for her.
The fan works as advertised and it actually pretty cool. However,
after a few days, the coolness wears off and you start to notice some of
the issues. First off, the fan is a bit louder than you would think for
the technology. The air flow is quite good and I found it to reach
closer to 8-10' range versus the 3' range all the reviewers who didn't
actually buy one of these claim. I do like the fact that you can really
dial in the exact amount of air this thing pushes unlike others where
you typically have just 2-3 settings. And the oscillating features works
as you might expect.
A couple of issues that I had with it. First off, is that you can't
really adjust the angle of the fan much. It pretty much shoots straight
out and that is it, so you need to prop it up against something to add
any significant angle to it. The main issue I had, however, was that it
wasn't very stable. I wish this thing had a bigger/wider stand as our
daughter easily knocked it over several times. So what is the point of
child-safety blade-less feature if the fan can easily be toppled.
In the end, we didn't think the $200 value was worth it. You pay a
lot for the name and I guess the cool patent for this thing. But we
decided that ultimately there is nothing that even compares to the
Vornado fans, which do have decent child safety protection.

Not a fan
By C. L Scheck
This is a $300 fan. Yes, it's just a fan. There are fan blades and
a motor in the base.
Unlike a conventional fan with big, slow rotating blades this thing
has a small, rapidly rotating fan in the base. Ordinarily that would
make for a very noisy appliance. Here, however, it does as well since
IT'S JUST A FAN.
This thing is LOUD. It is also an irritating, fairly high pitched
loud.
Don't trust your ears in a retail store; you won't hear it due to
the high ambient noise.
If you are determined to spend $300 on a $30 fan just make sure you can return it after you get it home.
