Dyson introduces the bladeless fan. No blades. No buffeting.
James Dyson, who for the past 30 years has continuously revolutionized the vacuum cleaner industry, has turned his attention to addressing the everyday fan. Until today, conventional electric fans have gone largely unchanged. The fundamental problem has remained the same for more than 125 years; the blades chop the air before it hits you, creating an uneven airflow and unpleasant buffeting.
What is Buffeting?
Buffeting is caused when conventional fan blades chop the air before it hits you. Dyson has solved this problem by developing a fan with no blades, which uses Air Multiplier technology to amplify the surrounding air up to 15 times, giving you an uninterrupted stream of smooth air.
This fan uses Air multiplier technology, a small annular jet on the back of the fan draws in surrounding air, and then pushes it out the big circle and multiplies it 15 times. Because there are no blades, the air flow is smooth, with no buffeting of the air at all. It is the easiest fan in my home to clean as well because there are no grills or blades for dust to stick to. I love the ‘dimmer’ like controls that let me precisely adjusts airflow power to exactly what I want.
I’ve seen these but haven’t tried them. When I was a little kid we’d visit my grandparents “down on the farm”. There was this great big occilating that sat on the dresser. It ranked right up there with “don’t run with scissors, you’ll put you eye out.” Except it was, “Don’t stick your finger in the fan, it’ll cut it off.” I mean, it’s not that we kids wanted out fingers cut off but we really wanted to know if it really would cut them off. Oh well, funny how the mind remembers such things. I think all fingers are safe around this version! My MOther would be so happy!
I was actually blessed to live with someone that owned one of these.
This technology far out passes what is on the market. Not only for safety with children around and animals one way or another someone or something
always would get caught in a regular fan.
The basis of the theory on the Dyson is superior. I guess the only way
I can describe it is like an oscullating fan theory. The room is coolest down considerably more than a regular fan. If I had the money to buy one I would and throw out every cheapo fan I own.
The money you spend on the machine is well worth it, but like alot of us in the economy right now, we are trying to stretch our money. If I had the extra money I would certainly buy one. I no longer live with the person who owned Dyson and I miss the fan more than the person !!!! I so love them !

I don’t own 1 but my friend does and it keeps her house soo cool(she doesnt even have AC so it really helps her out, and her house is as cool as mine with teh AC on.It also wasn’t as loud as a lot of fans are, which I was suprised by.
We love love love love our Dyson “fan” (we still call it a fan even though it is really an ‘air multiplier’) because it is so safe with our toddler. It is also very smooth and quiet and –best of all– great at creating a lovely breeze. Our house is poorly designed, so even when all the windows in the house are open, air doesn’t circulate well. Having this fan has helped our living room/kitchen area a whole lot!

Very cool

I do not own a Bladeless Dyson air Multiplier but have seen it in person at our local Best Buy store. It is a major step-up from the common, everyday fan that everyone owns but at the current price, a fan that I cannot afford or justify the price.
This looks really cool! I think it’s great that someone has come out with a bladeless fan! Much safe for homes with children!
