Dyson Fans, Buy or not?

[KOtech]

Anyone of you got experience with it?

I wouldn't buy it, I think they're quite overpriced (it's $200!), and is not worth the money.

Is it effective?

I know you can get some that use the same blade-less fan concept, just are smaller, look a little weird, and are not by Dyson of course

Something like this

Well money isn't really an issue

My only concern is regarding it's effectiveness. 

Well sorry to dissapoint you but a $10 fan from wallmart can move far more CFM then those Dyson fans ever could. They are made for the Apple generation, overpaying out the nose for something that only performs half as well as it should but looks good. look at the cross sections of the design, its a scam they moved the fan to the base and funneled it up to the open ring, might as well buy a leaf blower as they operate under the same concept, also the leaf blower is cheaper.

Don't buy. Waste of money.

I'm assuming you're talking about the "Air Multiplier" xD

Dyson did a brilliant job marketing this. Targeting it at parents who don't want their kids getting there fingers caught in a fan. (As stupid as it is people don't realise thats why there are grills over the fans.)

They don't move a lot of air, They don't have a lot of pressure, and they Cost a LOT of money.

I personally wouldn't rate them very Highly.

 

Here I made a terrible diagram with paint

 

Red Rectangle is where the vents are

Darker Blue rectangle represents a fan. (Imagine this as a 120mm case fan) (Although its actually more like the compression turbine out of a car turbo charger)

Light Blue Lines Represent Air.

 

Where a normal fan just takes a large volume of air and throws it in the direction you face it.

 

Great marketing, Terrible product.

Thanks for explaining

[SubTract]

Indeed, that's the exact overall-customer-satisfaction reaction to the product. 

 

 

 

 

Ha yes, ikno :D

But great explanation for people without the knowlage!

Anyone got any great suggestions? 

If You're happy to spend a bit of money. Perhaps a Ceiling fan? You can get some really sharp looking Ceiling Fans.

Don't buy it. Dyson fans are like Apple's Mac computers. They look cool, but you can get better performance for less money.

yeah have it a profile for a stable tested 4.6

Edit: but  i never need to have it at that so i just keep stock

[TheSLSAMG]

yeah have it at a nice stable 4.7

 

Nice. I can get mine up to 4.6, but it runs at a roasty-toasty 90°C even on a Seidon 240M, so I have it at 4.0GHz for now.
