    The Dyson AM08 Pedestal Fan is a very well designed appliance. Like all Dyson products, it fit and finish is excellent. Similarly it's a joy to use with its convenient remote (the fan head has a convenient magnetic receptacle for remote storage) that provides for speed control, oscillation activation / deactivation, and sleep timer activation. On a typical day, this fan moves a lot of air and does so very quietly. On a hot day, however, it's just as loud and no more powerful than a Vornado priced for 1/4th as much. Aesthetically, the fan isn't an eyesore. Finally, despite the fact that modern fans provide excellent coverage protecting young fingers from intersecting their blades, there is certainly an added sense of confidence in the safety of this product around children and small animals as there are no blades whatsoever.

    Fan is very different. Not sure how to explain it. The effect is different than a normal blade fan. Is it better? Not really, just different. I like it and was able to get it at a big discount. I would never pay the full price for it, it's just not worth it. It's hard to tell in store, you do need to set it up in house to see for yourself. Fairly easy to assemble, I was able to put it together in 5/10 minutes. Big plus is the easy clean circle vs grates and blades on a normal fan. I would recommend if you got it at a big discount and you wanted a fan that has a cool look to it. Otherwise stick to the much cheaper Lasko which is just a good, if not better and WAY cheaper. I still use 2 of those and they work great.

    Dyson AM08 Pedestal Fan: This pedestal fan is beautifully engineered with a bladeless, grilleless design that's safe and simple to clean, and adds style to any space. Its quiet power effectively cools the whole room, and the included remote control lets you operate it from a distance.

    My wife needs a fan to sleep and we have purchased numerous cheaper fans. The Dyson is powerful, sleek, and so quiet. It blows enough air to stay cool and refreshed, yet quiet enough to let you sleep as a baby. And with no blades it is safe for the animals and children.

    I am a Dyson fanatic--I LOVE my vacuum and my parents love the two they have (corded and cordless). I've wanted a Dyson fan since seeing one in Best Buy when they first came out. The ability to tilt this one's head and telescope the height are wonderful features. I love the remote. I know it's not particularly designed for travel, but I just took it on two car trips with me and it was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish it was quieter. It's not terribly noisy (there is no buffeting noise, rattling, etc. like fans with blades develop), but it is noisier than I would like for the price. This is not a huge obstacle for my total adoration; just be aware that though this model is supposedly quieter than its predecessor, it is still not near silent above speed 1.

    I think is the best fan. Safe for the kids, powerful and great design. I didn't give it all the stars because of the price. It's too expensive for w fan. You can buy a portable air condition for less.

    For starters, the fan is unique and stylish. It’s nothing like the normal fans on the market, the airflow is amazing. Before I decided to write a review I figure wait and see how it does and so far thumbs up. Although I’ve come to love this fan there are some pros and cons. As mentioned earlier the airflow is amazing except for when you turn it past 5 it gets loud. The remote control is nice but if you lose it then all you can do is turn it off and on from the base. Speaking of the base and the remote control, in order for you to change the settings the remote has to be pointing directly at the base. I think Dyson could have done a better job with where they located the IR blaster, maybe located it at the top of the halo. The ability to clean the fan I feel is where Dyson accelerates. I’ve had many fans I couldn’t clean which would annoy me. I would have given this product 5 stars if weren’t for the price. The asking price in my opinion is not worth it. I would recommend this product only if you can catch it on sale for under $300 which is why I purchased the product. Me and my wife have it located in our bedroom and use it while we sleep, we never had to go over 5 which is pretty impressive. All in all, the products build quality and performance is great and for that I will be purchasing another in it product line.

    Excellent fan that delivers a consistent even air flow at variable speeds. Remote control is very easy to use and the magnet that allows you to put it on the top of the fan is great, keeps you from misplacing it

    Advertised to cool air, but doesn't feel the same as an air conditioner. Better comparison: if the room is warm, it doesn't feel any cooler. The nigh air on the other hand, it seems the fan takes better advantage of. Still not worth the price though.

      Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your support. Our AM08 Air Multiplier is our newest machines that have been re-engineered to be up to 75% quieter and more energy efficient without compromising performance. The fan has re-engineered airflow paths for reduced air turbulence. This makes it quieter and more energy efficient. The machines have a number of new features such as remote control, sleep timer and improved oscillation. A high velocity jet of air exits the loop amplifier and creates an area of low pressure that draws in air from behind the fan. Our Air Multipliers do not contain Fr-ion like air conditioners for cooling. However, air is drawn in by an impeller, which is turned at high speeds by an energy-efficient, brushless DC Motor. I hope the information provided proved helpful. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at: [email protected]. We are happy to provide support. Best wishes, Christina. Dyson-EN_US
