While Dyson vacuums tend to have a higher price point, many users find that the performance and durability justify the investment. Dyson's hair dryers have gained popularity for their fast drying times and advanced styling capabilities. These dryers often utilize intelligent heat control to help prevent damage to the hair, and they feature ergonomic designs for comfortable use. The lightweight and sleek aesthetics of Dyson hair dryers are also appreciated by many. Dyson air purifiers are known for their ability to capture allergens and pollutants, providing cleaner air indoors. These purifiers often employ HEPA filters and smart sensors to monitor and maintain air quality. Users often appreciate the quiet operation and user-friendly features of Dyson air purifiers. While Dyson products generally receive positive reviews, it's important to note that the higher price point can be a consideration for some consumers. Additionally, individual experiences and preferences can vary, so it's beneficial to research and read reviews specific to the particular Dyson product you are interested in to make an informed decision based on your needs and budget.

A perfect breeze

In classic Dyson fashion, the new Dyson Hot Cool is eye appealing, playing crowd to a lusciously curved form factor. The suave model will sit comfortably in most homes or office decors, from the ultra-modern to more traditional.Even the remote features a compact, ergonomic form factor that has been curved to the same angle as the top of the fan. With magnets fitted into the top of the heater unit, the remote can be stored without concern on the fan itself, sitting perfectly as an extension of the main device.I particularly like the overall construction which is from tough, hardwearing Acrylontrode butadiene styrene; a type of thermoplastic used in riot helmets. Measuring in around knee-height, the air multiplying oval stood up, without a mark, to a selection of ... MoreIn classic Dyson fashion, the new Dyson Hot Cool is eye appealing, playing crowd to a lusciously curved form factor.

Measuring in around knee-height, the air multiplying oval stood up, without a mark, to a selection of bump, knock and drop tests designed to see how the device would cope with passing pets, children and unavoidable accidents.The discreetness the Dyson in a room is a wonder of the design. It gently cools/heats the room without causing stir. This is particularly useful when children are sleeping and the temperature control monitors the levels, clearly a strong feature of the fan.To bring the sound into perspective, it barely lifts above 40 decibels, which is equivalent to a library atmosphere. This is a plus for light-sleepers as you able to rest without the disturbance.It plays host to no visible heating elements, motor or fins, the now familiar hole in the centre of all of Dyson's air multiplier fans and heaters features one again on the Dyson Hot Cool. It is wholly safe to stick your hand straight through the middle without concern of being burned, perfect for those with small children in the house and for cleaning purposes. Long gone are those dust burn whiffs!The Dyson Fan AC07 exuberates style and a fairly ostentatious design. Its energy efficiency through distribution of even air is calm and unobtrusive. If price is not an issue, I doubt that you will be disappointed!

Better than the AM05 in some ways, not all ways

This 3rd version of the Dyson heater is improved in ways, but when I got mine, I was not expecting it to be worse than the AM05 in ways.It is improved enough to be considered a better heater than the AM05, but only because it has more options.This AM09 model is slightly taller and heavier than the AM05.This AM09 has a timer, the AM05 does not.This AM09 has the jet flow design and broad airflow mode, the AM05 only had the one airflow mode, which to me seems like it was capable of moving air almost as far as the newer AM09.The AM09 remote has a cold and hot shot buttons, one press of the blue button, and it goes directly to fan setting, one press of the red button, and it goes directly to the last set temperature which it was heating the room at.

The AM05 had to perform a really inconvenient process on the remote of pressing and holding the temperature up or down buttons to go from fan to heating modes, when the digital readout got down to 32 degrees, then it was on the fan only setting.This AM09 heater is quieter than the AM05 heater, but I have found that it achieves some of its improved quietness, from having a decreased airflow in the heater mode.The airflow in the fan only mode on both models, seems to be equivalent.I bought this Dyson AM09 to replace my AM05 as my living room heater, so it was a direct swap, and the AM05 is now a bathroom heater, yes my bathroom does have a ground fault power receptacle to prevent electrocution. Anyway, placed my new AAM09 in the same exact location as my AM05, this AM09 does not move quite as much air in heater mode, when compared to the AM05, but it is quieter, I just wish they would not have tried to achieve some of the improvement by decreasing the airflow in heating mode.Both the AM05 and the AM09 do have a lesser airflow in any fan speed setting when the heater is on, compared to just the fan setting, this is on purpose, to avoid so much airflow that it might cause a customer to think it is not putting out air that is hot enough. Dyson engineered their heaters, so that the heater setting has less air flow in any speed, to make the air output feel sufficiently hot on even the highest fan speed.Many customers must have complained that the Dyson AM05 was too loud, so they improved this AM09 and made it quieter mostly by improved air flow channels on the inside of the heater, but I can tell that some of the improved quietness when operating, is from it also having a decreased airflow in the heater mode.That was not even necessary at all, they effectively decreased the effective heating capability of this AM09, in efforts of trying to avoid customers complaining about it being loud.The fact that they made it quieter by way of improved airflow channels, was all that was needed.Having slightly decreased the airflow in heating mode, makes this newer AM09 less able to heat objects further away from the heater.Comparing the two heaters, the AM05 blows the heat further away from the heater, more effectively heating objects further away, but it is louder than the AM09.

Common H2 Error message

This machine is known to have an error message after about 2 years of use (warranty would be long expired). I purchased this product because of the perceived quality of Dyson, and would expect nothing short of spectacular with their customer service. NOT THE CASE, after less then 2 years of use (not even heavy use) this products heating feature no longer worked and displayed an H2 error message. A quick google search shows how common it is. Speaking with Customer Support, their answer was that this is not a repairable issue, and yet when making this product THEY created the H2 error message. The machine did not do it on its own. No other solution was provided - no service centre recommendation or replacement parts suggested. However they were very happy to offer 20% ... MoreThis machine is known to have an error message after about 2 years of use (warranty would be long expired).

Whats worse then that though was the zero help i got from the customer care team. That was what surprised me the most. I wouldn't recommend this product, much cheaper options out there that would at least work for the same amount of time.

Dyson products are overpriced....especially used or refurbished!

Works as described and very effective for my purpose. My major problem with Dyson products is that they are way overpriced for what little they are. They are just a normal fan inside but fools everyone into believing they are special and worth the price. Take one a part and you will see what I mean. And Dyson customer support is nothing to write (email or social media) home to mom about. Especially when yours won't work. All they offer is for you to send it back in (pay for shipping) and give you 20% off a new one. Then they fix it and resell it as refurbished or renewed and charge you only $20 less than new price. Scam artistry at it's best!!!! I bought it because it is stylish and I hate cleaning blade fans. I will admit that other cheaper fan/heaters are very ... MoreWorks as described and very effective for my purpose.

I will admit that other cheaper fan/heaters are very noisy compared to Dyson products, but that is not worth the price hike. I use an air compressor to blow the dust out of my two heater/fans 2 times a year, without Dyson support, and it keeps it running magnificently and saves me money! Regular maintenance does wonders!

Exceptionally disappointing.

We bought this because it has a good reputation, good writeups and, particularly, because it is "Quiet Mark" approved, suggesting it is quiet.It is not quiet.It emits an irritating white noise at a higher pitch than a regular fan (air rushing through thin tubes) and I had to turn up the volume on the radio to hear over the top. Reading up about it: "Quiet mark" means "quietest in class" - probably true if compared against fan heaters, but definitely not the case for a circulating fan. Or, at least, if it is still "quieter" for a fan, the noise it does emit is in a frequency band such that it can be heard, rather than a typical fan emitting lower frequency noise at the limits of our hearing (so we notice it less)The airflow was also disappointing; the regular 16inch ... MoreWe bought this because it has a good reputation, good writeups and, particularly, because it is "Quiet Mark" approved, suggesting it is quiet.It is not quiet.It emits an irritating white noise at a higher pitch than a regular fan (air rushing through thin tubes) and I had to turn up the volume on the radio to hear over the top.

Ok, it didn't heat. But in April that's not what we needed. Standing 2m away from the Dyson unit we got little more than a passing draft for a second as it oscillated past (with the 'narrow' focus), and with the 'wide focus' you couldn't feel a thing.There were no indications that the unit was faulty or was operating in any way that is unexpected, so we didn't request a replacement. We just sent it back. Sorry James, not your finest work.Would not recommend. Objectively: Build quality was excellent, felt solid. But I wanted a fan, not a sculpture.You might like it, it may work in your setting, but would urge a home demo before committing to it. Don't trust what you hear in a noisy sales-environment (you'll almost certainly not notice the white noise).

Great Product

I bought this fan/heater in the summer and didn’t want to write a review until I tried the heater. Now that the weather got colder, I got the chance to try it out and it is great. Way better than my old heater. It heats up the room fast and with the temperature settings you can get very warm, very quickly and yet the heater always feels cool to the touch.In the summer the fan also worked great. In fact, I was using it at the lowest setting because I found it too cold unless of course it was really hot in which case the higher settings would really get the job done.The only thing I wish it would have, is settings on the tower itself in case the remote gets lost. It will be very hard to set it without the remote so make sure you don’t lose it!

It's good, but it's taking me time to get used to ...

This is a good quality, well built product. It looks attractive too. I have so far only used it to heat my studio, not to cool it. It does put out a cool breeze when you put it on the cooling setting, so I fully believe it would work well to cool a room.The reason I bought the Dyson heater is because my previous fan-heater caught fire, so I didn't want to have the same technology (of coils which heat up) for fear of the same thing happening. This ceramic plate technology does seem safer.I will only really know how well the heater performs once the weather gets cold in the depth of winter (it is mid October now), but so far it definitely heats my studio well (about 3.5m x 4.5m - I use a small, plug in oil filled radiator for background heat, and use the Dyson to ... MoreThis is a good quality, well built product.

It also seems a bit quieter than the fan heater (though it is definitely audible).But ... strangely, I haven't really 'bonded' with this heater yet. Somehow, and that is likely to be my personal, psychological response to it, I don't feel the sense of 'cosiness' that I had with the fan-heater. I couldn't say why.There also seems to be a curious thing where if you turn the thermostat down to where it stops heating the room, there seems to be a cool 'breeze' coming from it. That isn't there if you fully turn it off, so it is no problem - I just need to remember to turn it off rather than down. It's not a very strong effect, and I haven't been back to the Dyson sales people to ask about this and to see if I am doing something wrong.In conclusion - the Dyson heats well and is not too noisy, and any disappointment I feel is more emotional than to do with it's performance. So for safety reasons, despite the price tag, I would recommend this product.

OK While it lasted

Have had this fan for less than two years. The cool air is just a typical fan, not cool. It was NOT more quiet than a regular oscillating fan which was disappointing for the cost. The heater was great and WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. With no warning it stopped working with a H2 message. Checked online and this is a common defect about this fan. It just stops working and gives this error message for which there is no correction. Horribly expensive fan for what you get and end up with. I guess the lesson learned is to get the extended warranty on more pricey items. I will never purchase another Dyson product. I could have purchased two small air conditioning units for the cost, however I wanted a fan!

Product 5 Stars, Manual 1 Star

First, I love Dyson. I have two fans and a vacuum and customer support has always been great. But this heater scares the heck out of me. It pulls a lot of power and the manual does not address the safety concerns adequately. So, WARNING: this product has a short cord and can only be plugged directly into an outlet - do not use an extension cord! In my case, I did not read the warning about this, which is buried in the two pages of small print at the front of the manual. (It's #14 and in smaller print than the warning that the controller and fan contain magnets. Yes, really.) In my defense, the instruction photos are big and inviting and make the print look like the Terms and Conditions when downloading iTunes that nobody reads. I actually started reading them, but ... MoreFirst, I love Dyson. I have two fans and a vacuum and customer support has always been great. But this heater scares the heck out of me.

(It's #14 and in smaller print than the warning that the controller and fan contain magnets. Yes, really.) In my defense, the instruction photos are big and inviting and make the print look like the Terms and Conditions when downloading iTunes that nobody reads. I actually started reading them, but it was stuff like "contains magnets" and "don't touch when hot" and other common sense stuff that had me skimming and skipping ahead before I got to the bottom of the page where this gem was hidden. Having studied the illustrated instructions, I thought I knew the basics and used a 6' heavy duty (indoor/outdoor) extension cord because the outlets are behind the furniture. Within minutes, the extension cord began smoking at the outlet and I needed an oven mitt to remove it because it was so hot. Where the fan plugged into the extension cord was very warm, but not as hot as the extension cord at the outlet. To be clear, NOT READING THE MANUAL WAS MY FAULT, but considering the fire hazard you'd think that warning would be large and red with another warning tag on the end of the cord just to be sure. I honestly shake when I think what would have happened had I fallen asleep or used a cheaper cord. After contacting Dyson customer support, I moved the fan to plug directly into an outlet and had no other problems, but psychologically the damage was done. Now I keep getting up to check it every few minutes and I'm worried about the safety of using it with the wiring in our old house. It's well made, works very well and is a great machine, but it sure pulls a lot of power. Which also makes me worried about what I'll find when I receive the electric bill...
