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.

Beautiful but Very Noisy !!!
By ED
I own this Dyson fan - no doubt it will end up in the Museum of
Modern Art. It is a beauty but the noise is terrible. I just wonder at
the great effort to design this unit but to forget the most important
part of the fan. Anyone I show it to immediately remarks on the noise. I
kept it on its beauty alone.

Overpriced, loud, and a fraud
By Silicon Valley Guy
This fan is no air multiplier. See all those holes around the base
of the fan? Those are the air inlets for the blower which they've
thoughtfully hidden in the base. You can't get something for nothing -
and that includes air.
Compared with a clip-on 6" fan, this fan is a waste of both money
and space. That little clip-on costs $20 and moves 190 cubic feet per
minute. The Dyson moves 40 cubic feet per minute (or as Dyson
specifies: 5 gallons per second). Comparably sized tabletop fans move
over a thousand cubic feet per minute.
Don't be fooled by the store displays. Those streamers are placed
around the edge for a reason - that's the only place where the air is
moving! Stand a few feet away from this fan and you will literally feel
nothing.
Meanwhile, it's loud. That little 6" fan produces 37 decibels of
sound. The Dyson is closer to 50. That's more than twice as loud
(decibels are a log scale, every 10 is a doubling).
It's intriguing that some are so taken with this fan. It would have
some benefits. It won't muss your hair, and it's unlikely to ruffle
your papers. But let's be real - this is a fan, not a vase of flowers.
Buy this fan only if you prioritize owning a statement piece over
owning a functioning fan.

Hilarious- definitive of the iPod
generation
By Michigoon
You'll laugh yourself straight back in line for a refund once you
figure out the secret behind this ridiculous device. The secret is that
there is absolutely nothing bladeless about this device. What you're
actually getting is a regular fan (inside the base) with a big ring on
top that's designed, mostly, to confuse you into shelling out hundreds
of dollars for a desk fan.
Repeat that- there is a regular fan inside the base, and a weird
thing on top to divert the air at you. Take any portable fan, stick it
inside a PVC pipe with an angle on the end, and you'll get the same
effect.
It's just as noisy as a regular fan, it uses up the same power, it
does not produce any more airflow (unless your old fan is getting really
worn down). In fact if anything this is much less efficient than a
regular desk fan, because instead of the air coming straight from the
fan to you, now the air goes from the fan and through the big silly ring
on top. It is not easier to clean, because you have to crack the base
open to get at the fan if you ever decide to clean it, and I can't even
imagine how you'd clean the top bit.
So what does it actually do? It looks like a giant iPod accessory,
and it costs ten times as much.
