It seems that Dyson have dropped the price of these overnight. Previously these were $699 and have now been dropped to $569. If you still have a P5OZZIE coupon, it will be brought down to $540.55
Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you need a purification fan or more importantly a wifi fan that can integrate with home asisstant . Then this may be of interest.
Thanks :)
Have one of these, and as a fan they're not great :(
Not sure what the purification bit adds, but apart from being handy having no blades (nice for young kids), not really worth it IMO.
no good, really? not cooling the room?
As below, no, just technically moving some air. But one issue I find is the shape - vertically aligned is not great if you want it to cool you while sleeping, as half the breeze hits the bed, and you can't elevate & tilt it, like most fans.
I'm being picky, but justifiably given the price I think.
Just not worth it.
I have one, (the old model) and just bought myself one of these for another room. I use home assistant, so they are handy for that.
Couldn't you just buy a much cheaper fan that has an IR remote then, buy an IR module and an RPi Zero, set those up. Could probably do it all for like $70, including fan. I don't know if this Dyson is any better, but I'd wage not $470 worth of better.
Yeah, my mum has one of these, and $60 tower fan from Aldi, the Aldi one pushes a lot more air, and is still safe from little fingers. I guess if you're overly paranoid about purification, but otherwise they seem pointless to me
Yep, depends on what you are after. I have a cheap tower fan, blows air as a fan should. The noise of it bugs the crap out of me when Im working at my computer. In my case a stupidly overpriced fan is worth every cent :)
Agree! I recently bought the top end model (not this one) from TGG when it was 20% off Ebay. Really disappointed with the cooling. Heating seemed ok but it's summer so it was naturally quite hot. Cooling was actually worse than a normal $15 fan from Target! The "Hot & Cool" description is quite deceiving as it doesn't actually cool like you'd think it would. Just circulates the air and honestly not that powerful. The only function I liked about the fan was the ability to operate with App. Otherwise, I say don't waste your money on this if you're after a nice "cooling" fan. Air purifying functionality wasn't something I needed so can't comment on it. App said it purified, I just took it's word for it.
All fans cool using a wind chill effect. If you are sitting directly in front of the air flow, you'll feel cooler. The room the fan is sitting in though, won't get any cooler. In fact it might get warmer since fan motors dissipate heat…
however it is gimmicky marketing tricks that allows Dyson to put 'cooling' claims on their fans, even though fans don't actually lower the room temperature.
You'd need air conditioning to have any noticeable impact in air temps.
Yep fans don't cool, I use mine in addition to an air conditioner to direct cool air into the rooms that don't normally get it
"need a purification fan or more importantly a wifi fan that can integrate with home asisstant(home-assistant.io)"
is there different model WITH purification but NON wifi? (hopefully cheaper i dont need wifi)
This is the only purification fan they have (except for the desk version of this). At this price,they are the same price as the AM07
A true ozbargainer folds the local paper and cools him/her self down, using the saving of ~$500 to buy Google Mini's/SSD's/Eneloops
A true ozbargainer would use the cardboards from Google minis to use as Abanico.
I was fanning myself with the paper and I accidentally knocked over my Voss water and it poured into my Eneloop charger, which then trickled into my pair of Google Mini's. This made me think it's time to buy a fan
No, we just don’t spend $540 on a fancy fan where a $12 fan from Bunnings cools even better. And if you want to get a little more fancy, get one with a remote for under $30.
Haha, someone actually paid that much for Dyson's gimmicky fan?
Just like they do for their gimmicky vacuums.
Don't be swayed by the home assistant capability of devices like these. You can turn any fan into a smart one using cheap wifi switches and IF blasters.
True, if you have time and can be assed. I have way too many hobbies going on at the moment.
I have this.
I have HomeAssistant
Note that the temperature cannot yet be controlled via HA.
As a standard fan, I agree, they're not the best thing on the market.
As a heater. Its quite good.
As a purifier, it's excellent (which was my main reason for purchase).
Also worth noting that whilst in standby, they continually sample the air.
I get temperature and air quality reported/graphed in Home Assistant and reported in the App.
Because they're "always on" it will make some noise when in standby.
At higher fan speeds, they can also be quite noisy.
Buy a fan with IR control, an IR module and an RPi Zero. ~70 and you have an IOT fan. Grab a temperature monitor if you want, too.
Does it really work as a heater?? I thought it should be a different model - "Dyson Hot Cool Link Purifier", not just "Cool"
Have had recurring sinusitis requiring meds, sprays etc for years.
Bought one of these and run it every night, have only had to use the spray twice in 10 months, no antibiotics, no major infections.
As a fan, no. As a heater, especially for a small room, great!
It's a $500 fans for idiots apparently going by the comments above.
Seems the price is $569 on Dyson website and comes with Stand + 1 free filter. Do these myer ones come with the stand and free filter?

I bought this recently and found it very helpful in making the air smell better considering we have a couple of dogs and pan frying steak in the house.
Bing Lee is out of stock. Changed deal to Myer.
