If it could hold beer cold also or something it would justify it, but this.

So I was looking at fans to buy one maybe online.... I mean those for us, not for our pc's. :D

 

Then I saw this:

 

http://www.bol.com/nl/p/dyson-mini-torenventilator-am07-grijs-blauw/9200000026502993/

 

What fan warrants 449 euro?!

 

It looks neat but that's it.

 

Dyson?!

Those kinds of fans are AMAZING. They're super silent aswell.

These fans have a more constant airflow unlike regular desk fans. They are super silent and cool a larger area. They are also fair superior in build quality. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

They are fairly quiet, when not on highest setting. Also, I think that one may be that alternating temperature one, which can be either hot or cold, with specific temperatures possible to achieve. That are very powerful and are bloody awesome.

not they aren't silent at all. My friend has them (everything from small,round,to that oval shape) and the sound they make is even more annoying than a normal stand fan. plus the intake fan place at the bottom just begs to suck up as much dust as possible.

The second part is true, and they're definetely not worth the money but i tried one in a hotel in Germany and it was freaking amazing.

When I first saw one, I totally wanted it. But then I saw the price...

 

No way to justify that price for a fan regardless of how much more advance it is over conventional fans. Portable AC units are less expensive.

All Dyson crap is way overpriced and overhyped, and yes I have experience with a lot of their products. I used to work for a high end home goods retailer that sold products that directly competed with Dyson. Their vacuums being one of the big ones. If you only use a Dyson vacuum in the same way the do in their commercials it works great. That means anything you are using the vacuum for is sitting up on top of the carpet.

But that's not how things work in real life. Dirt and other crap gets walked on and pushed down into the carpet fibers. With no brush to agitate the carpet fibers, the Dyson vacuums always came in last during testing. Their fans are also no better at moving air than any $20-$30 fan from Walmart. Yeah the Dyson fans may look nicer or operate with less noise, but that doesn't justify their outrageous price.

It's true.They are not worth the money. My friend regretted getting them after a few months (he moved to a new house that's why he bought like 4 of them at once). Plus the climate is quite hot here so you do need to run it at almost max speed to feel any cooling effect,hence the noise.

 

But Dyson's hand dryer is pretty cool tbh.Take less than 10sec to dry your hands.

Haven't those been proven to throw around like 2x the amount of bacteria? lol

 

If you don't have aircon, those fans might be worth it imo. (Probably not the Dyson ones though.)

The price is due to the word 'Dyson'.

The Apple of vacuums, fans, and other air tech.  :P
