It is operated entirely via remote control, which is held by a magnetic field at the top of the fan ring.
The fan strength can be adjusted from 1-10 (1-4 quasi silently, 5-6 small sound, 7-10 stronger noise).
Apart from the strength you can let the fan go into a rotary motion automatically, the head can be also on the foot forward or backward tilt into a fixed position.
Other features include a sleep timer, in which you can set 15, 30, 45, minutes, and up to 9 hours run time, so the fan in summer nights do not have to go through to the early hours.
The price deters initially, a purchase price in the higher three sets own area for me was never a sum that is justified for a table fan. But the Dyson Air Multiplier AM06 has me completely enthusiastic: he is instintuitiv to use, it has integrated a wide range of services, it is very easy to clean and easy to move due to its rather low weight. The stand itself is built on not too big - about 15cm in diameter, so that you find a parking space for him well.
