Chic, functional, expensive

'Dyson Cool' on the packaging, and that fits in every way, because this is already a pretty cool device with a fascinating technique: You see nothing, you hear (almost) nothing, nothing moves - and yet it blows a cool air counter. At first glance it does not does not look like a fan ... and the second actually. It looks more like a modern work of art. It is less massive and much easier than it looks on the product photos set here. The housing is made entirely of plastic and looks in real not as classy as the pictures; for it is easy to transport with less than 2 kg and its space is very limited (base diameter
The fan - sorry, I meant of course 'Air Multiplier' - is equipped with a small remote control that is labeled with clear symbols and can be operated intuitively. Can be stored directly on the housing of the device via a magnet, so that they are easy to find. Let her be lost or the battery is empty, you can operate the unit via the on / off button.

It offered all sorts of individual settings. The tilt angle can be adjusted manually infinitely; during operation can be swing it back and forth. You can also set how long it should run (useful when you turn it off to sleep, because then he will not run all night). There are no fewer than ten speeds, so you are prepared for really any temperature. In the lower levels of the Dyson is silent; approximately at level 5 you can hear him, but he's not really louder than my old pedestal fan (standard model) also at the highest level.

When I received the tester here on the product side, no price was given. When he was released, I was pretty flabbergasted: so much money (currently about 325 euros) for a breath of air ?! The hardware store next door you get for about ten fans. Not nearly as chic, sure, but they meet but basically the same function. Whether it is possible to spend a lot for a little cool air on the few really hot days of the year and wants everyone must decide for themselves. Who will not be deterred by the price, at least get a really great device that looks not only very chic but also offers all the comforts you could wish for from a ventilator.

As proven itself the luxury compartments in everyday life, I will add here after the first heat wave of the summer. With regard to the pleasantly quiet operating noise and the moderate footprint I'll take him to the office, which is located in a very old building and heats up quickly in the summer.

Addendum 15.06.2014:
Since last week, the Dyson is in my office and has beaten there very well during the first really hot day of the year (temperatures above 30 degrees). He is on my desk in a corner and powered Turned on pivotal movement from there not only me but also my me sitting opposite colleague with cool air. We let him go after some trial and error mostly at level 6 of the air puff is a bit stronger and makes for pleasant cooling; Nevertheless, the device is still quiet enough to disturb neither the phone nor in other work. It has thereby also nothing from the desk blown (big advantage over devices with blades!). Of course, the Dyson has caused among colleagues for much Hello. The first set was almost always the same: "What's that?" The Dyson is for the (working) day absolutely suitable and makes high temperatures noticeably more bearable.
