Dyson are at it again: doing the innovating thing that they do so well! Following on from totally changing the design of the humble vacuum cleaner, they are now looking to revolutionise the desk fan.
With cheaper fans available, you may ask you should pay more for a Dyson AM06 Cool™ Fan? Well, like every Dyson product that went before, this is a product that has been designed, engineered, tested and refined over and over until a product worthy of the Dyson name is created.
We asked our reviewer, Stu, to check out this amazing piece of equipment himself. Here’s his summary:
Air Multiplier™ technology – Air is accelerated through a ring-shaped hole, creating a high-speed jet of air. This passes over an aerofoil-shaped ramp, channelling its direction and creating areas of low pressure behind and around the fan. The change in pressure forces surrounding air to be drawn into the airflow, resulting in a powerful stream of smooth cooling air giving a maximum airflow of 370 litres of air per second.
Quiet sound – By reducing turbulence within Dyson AM06 Cool™ fans, Dyson engineers were able to make them quieter, in fact so quiet they are now 75% quieter than the original AM01 fan. To do this, Dyson has streamlined the airflow paths within the machines, allowing air to pass through smoothly. Dyson have also designed a ‘Christmas bauble’ cavity for each fan, which captures and dissipates sound from the motor making it a much quieter fan than anything else. In fact it is so quiet it has been awarded the ‘Q’ quiet mark by the Noise Abatement Society
Energy Efficient – Reducing turbulence makes the Dyson AM06 Cool™ one of the quietest fans on the market, but this also means that less electricity is required to move air through the fan. While the fans still produce an energetic airflow, Dyson’s motors are tapered to run more slowly, thus needing less electricity to run.
Sleep timers – The Dyson AM06 Cool™ fans can be programmed to turn off after preset intervals ranging from 15 minutes to 9 hours, so if you intend on going out just set the timer to the time you are going out and save even more money on your electric.
Remote control – Yes this comes with a remote control, so you can control this from your armchair, just like you do with your TV. There is 10 specific airflow settings, a sleep timer, on/off and of course oscillation control. The remote control is magnetised and shaped so it can sit on top of the fan – and so you won’t lose it!
Safety – With the lack of circulating blades, there is nothing to get caught on so no need for a safety grill, making the Dyson AM06 Cool™ fan one of the safest on the market today.
Cleaning – With no awkward cage to get in the way cleaning the Dyson AM06 Cool™ fan is a doddle, you just need to supply the duster!
Easy tilt – It is so easy to adjust the vertical angle of the flow of air on the Dyson AM06 Cool™ fan as it pivots on its own centre of gravity.
Colour choice – Yes, Dyson make two colours for the AM06 Cool™ Fan, so you get the choice of either silver & white or cool blue so it can either blend into the background or stand out boldly.
Two year warranty – like many Dyson products the AM06 comes with a two year warranty for added peace of mind.
I loved this Dyson AM06 Cool™ Fan and can vouch that it more than justifies its price tag. Allergy suffers would further benefit from the Dyson AM06 Pure Cool™ Fan. Not only does it do all the above, but it also automatically purifies your home by removing 99.95% of allergens and pollutants as small as 0.1 microns at the same time. The Dyson AM06 Pure Cool™ Fan has a 360 degree glass HEPA filter which captures even ultrafine particles from the air, including pollen, bacteria and pet dander.
