Does it work better than a cheap fan?

The air movement is not any better than a cheap fan but it is very quiet. And very easy to keep clean. There are no blades that become dirty and impossible to clean and then blow all that dirty crud around and I wonder why I have allergies and can't breath.

Not really, this is just the safer option if you have younger children at home

A Fan is a Fan. It does the same job but the Dyson brings the elegant touch to your home.

A cheap fan only moves air and will move back and forth if you buy a fan with that feature. The benefits of buying this Dyson are: easy to clean, does not collect dust when used, moves a lot of air vertically and horizontally, looks amazing (get compliments on it all the time), (except at the very high setting) it is ultra quiet, it is easy to install and operate and comes with a handy remote that magnetizes to the top of the fan. Also this fan is super light and easily transportable. We have not noticed any increase with our power usage when using this to quickly cool down our second level. I will only buy Dyson fans based upon my amazing experience with this bladeless tower fan. Highly recommend. It is pricey but I do not regret buying this. In fact I am watching sale prices on the table top one for my bedroom.

Absolutely!Quiet, powerful and inlet acts as filter so normal crud accumalation on regular tower fan is not a problem. Highly recommend IF you can get it on sale.

It is more quiet. But, for the $$$, I would not buy it again, and I'd go with a cheap fan.

It works pretty well in a small room. It exchanges the air over a period of time. I don't think it works well when there is lots of humidity outside. This is not a high velocity fan!

Yes. It has a great design. I have used other fans and was always concerned with blocking the airflow. This design is much better and has a soft cushion on the bottom for resting on your lap. I use it non stop, over 8 hours a day while I run my home business on my computer.

To be honest, i don't know. Couldnt tell a big difference in my bill. I do not compare this to an air cooler though. Unless mine doesn't work properly, it is no different from any other fan to me. I had bought it because everyone was saying it was like an air cooler. I could of bought a cheaper fan the does the same thing. Just so you know.

Yes it will cause the fan motor to run slower than it should , which will burn out the motor.

well i tell you this I run the fan on a real small car battery about twice or three times a bigger than a motor cycle battery and it runs super fast at highso low is little faster than the regular fans, the fan works and saves energy or it gives you a breeze, better than the small fans that you see at walmart,it works , the price is another thing, its light the size is big and the fans are thin and not wide.

I honestly do not know. I have debated getting one with a fan just to test that out; if I do, I will for sure let you know. Good luck, and sorry I couldnt answer.

Actually, it is a pretty quiet little fan--even on high. If you need a lot of ambient noise, I would look elsewhere. If you only need a little and you are able to position it close to your head when you sleep, it may work fine.

Yes. Our fan in in continuous use (24/7) thru the winter months to push warm air to colder parts of the house. It is quiet and efficient and trouble free.

It does not make a lot of noise at all. In comparison to my old fan it is very quiet, barely noticeable. I sleep with it so it is important that it doesn't make a whole lot of noise.

It is a fan, not an air conditioner. So, no. It only moves the air like any other fan.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

Absolutely not. My fan makes a whooshing / blowing noise. A "white noise" if you will.

I'm using one on a bucket swamp cooler for my tent, it works amazing but is certainly not "quiet" compared to a computer fan. I put a speed control on it and run it at about 3/4 speed, which considering how well it works in my swamp cooler I tolerate the sound, it's not to bad, granted it's got about 6 feet of duct between me and the fan. If you want something near silent and you just want to move air go with a computer fan, but if you want WAY more airflow especially through a distance of duct, go with this fan with a speed control of some sort, I'm happy!

I use it 4-1/2 feet from my bed on low speed, because it's too noisy on high. In that position, I can't feel the air blowing directly, but it seems to circulate enough to make a small room feel a little cooler. It doesn't even rustle papers at low speed and the motor does appear to go through power cycles. I don't leave it running when I'm not home!!! I didn't expect it to still be running this long... into the 2nd summer! Willing to spend more money next time I buy a fan.

This is a cheap fan. I had a little heater fan that got a lot of lint in int, and I just sprayed it with fantastic and sprayer it off with the spray function on my sink (UNPLUGGED OF COURSE) let it DRY WELL and when I plucked it in i worked just fine. so what do you have to lose, just wash it if it doesn't work after but a new on.If it does work. let us know so we can wash ours too.

No, it's a 3-speed fan. Very quiet on the lowest setting; not even very loud on high, yet it moves a considerable amount of air for its size.
