To (, sitting at office desk) to have in the summer near the upper body a little of the air, the fan is too small. You have two options: Place it on a chair or trying to make blow through the built-tilt mechanism the air somehow toward the upper body. Both options run unfortunately usually not as desired.
If one adjusts the fan as a conventional table-fan on the table, blowing most of air over his head away and the remaining part directly in the eyes. Even tilting creates no real remedy.
The situation is similar in the winter if you want to use it as a fan heater to allow for example, warming his supercooled "mouse hand". It is literally impossible to bring the Dyson to a suitable height. Times the airflow is too far above the keyboard / hands, so they suffer the eyes including times and it is too low, so most of all gotten the thigh some of the heat.
And who tried to warm his feet in cold weather so that this will not make it, unless it can divert the office chair of a colleague as a footrest. Even this the Dyson is again too high and can not be by mere tilt adjust accordingly.
Dyson is advertised this as "radiators" / "Cool space" as well as the drawing on the box. But for this purpose it is good (at least in a> 10sqm room) unfortunately nothing. If you sit more than six feet away from the device, the blown out air is unfortunately again already so much cooled or warmed up (-> adapted to the room air) that the device neither winter nor summer met a really sense and also still relatively large amount of power consumed. Regardless, you get in the winter an enormously stuffy (and dry) air when the device is running a couple of hours.
I regret now purchasing this particular model. Meanwhile, I've gained a very tropospheric Noname device for around 30, which works optimally on the table and on the floor. For what this device really can (air speed and, if desired, reheat) the price is definitely too high.
Another drawback: If the unit is in standby (pronounced but plugged off), take a very high frequency sound true. Probably a poor quality coil within the integrated power supply. However that may be, it can interfere with uncommonly late at night. This beep is then in the operation at a certain stage, a certain temperature is still much louder.
All in all, you have to be aware that you really 90%, the design (and the name) paid here, but not the function.
// Update:
One thing I forgot to mention. In the pictures, the cold / warm air is depicted as a "solid air-block". This is not like that. The air coming out of the device equal to visually more like a hose. At the Kanden the device, the air is blown out, at the center, however, there is an air of quiet space. One thus obtains exactly the shape of the device as an air shock, the center remains "empty". If you hold his hand between the two vertical pillars of the device (the side walls of the 0-form, so to speak), then the hand remains cold.
