Dyson - Bladeless Fans

[Spacecadet]

yes, it's not bad. It moves air and seemed fairly quiet compared to some of the others. I would have bought one but for the price. It was about €250 which was €200 too much.

Apart from the price, what I don't like is the idea of a smooth airflow.
I like the "choppyness" you get from a normal fan.

[MarillionFan]

Depends how big a normal fan you're talking about.

I'd be more inclined to spend that dosh on a portable aircon unit.

So I bought a portable Air Con at the weekend for £229 quid. But the problem is it needs a ventilation point for the 'out pipe'. The pipe is short 1.5m. I'm going to return it as they're not really portable.

So I need a good fan/cooling system for the shop.

Before you even started with your proofs I stated it was a semantic arguement about the use of the word "multiplying". If you look at the sales literature they don't actually claim to mulitply air.

Me degree was in Physics from one of the UK's top universities (I'll decline to say which one for privacy reasons)

Yes they do.

Look at their web site Dyson - official site | Dyson.co.uk and the go with "dyson air mulitiplier"

Google "dyson air mulitiplier" and they come up tops with their site.

You really are useless.

Those portable units are tulip anyway. Unless your shop is 2m x 2m or smaller.

The split units work much better, but of course much more expensive, and by the time you have it installed it'll be raining anyway.

As for the Dyson, I saw one at the Eden Project. It seemed as effective as a normal fan, as was pretty quiet. I'm not sure if it renders you less prone to Sudden Fan Death though.

Where does it say "The Dyson Air Multiplier Multiplies Air"?

I can quite easily see "See how Dyson engineers demonstrate inducement and entrainment of air."

But I can't see "Paul Daniels Will be proud, Thin air out of.... THIN AIR!!!"

Having said that, Dyson are the Apple of the domestic appliance world.
Most of his inventions had been done before. Bagless, cyclonic vacuums go back to 1935. And the no clogging claim is crap... my dyson has 3 filters all of which have big warnings that they'll need cleaning every few months!

The hand drier thing i've seen used for industrial drying (with about 1000 times more power)

If it was made by a French company then there would be an EU rule that bans the use of fans with blades on 'elf and safety grounds.

No need, the UK already has such 'elf and safety legislation, well, for stuff that goes down t'pit.

(as mentioned earlier)

I stuck the pipe from the one in my home office up the chimbley.

It works really well & keeps the crow's nest in the chimbley pot really warm.

I understand from the member of staff who was in yesterday it's been placed out the back of the shop. This was after a call in the morning which said 'How do I turn it on?'

I need to get new staff. The big giveaway was the button which said 'On/Off'!

Exactly.

The clue is in the name... "Air multiplier"?

Kind of like you know what a cheese slicer does and you know what a carpet cleaner is.
