When consumers go on the net searching for information regarding room heating units they generally add the term "best" or "reviews" to the keyword phrase. Seldom, if ever, does anyone make use of the word "perfect" to search for anything unless they’re making hard boiled eggs.

Although the manufacturer of the Dyson Hot doesn’t assert it’s perfect, you would expect a product costing roughly 5 to 6 times more than the typical space heater to at least come close.

So what makes the Dyson Tower Fan so extraordinary?

As stated by the developer the "Air Multiplier uses an airfoil-shaped ramp to amplify the airflow 16 times to create a blast of smooth air without the unpleasant buffeting caused by spinning blades."

This one-of-a-kind air foil design is not only attention grabbing but permits effortless cleaning and renders the heating surface areas cool to the touch - a plus when you have children or household pets. For more security the heating device systematically shuts itself off if accidentally tipped over.

The 23" tall Dyson Hot also offers a 360º oscillating motion and tilts back by various degrees to focus the warmth where you want it. And if flashing, beeping LED lights found on other heaters drive you crazy, you’ll delight in the soft, quiet glow from the digital display.

The thermostat adjusts up or down in one degree increments and the air flow speed is set in a range of 1 - 10. Both functions are managed with a remote (batteries included) which cleverly attaches to the top of the unit for easy locating when not in use.

What makes the Dyson Bladeless Heater Fan so ordinary?

The primary limitation any portable heater encounters is without question heat output. Since most household electrical circuits are restricted to fifteen amps, the Dyson can safely draw only 12.5 amps, or a maximum 1500 watts - the same as the majority of portable heating units.

To make up for this, the Dyson employs their unique Air Multiplier which, as stated by the sales literature, draws in five gallons of air per second. I’ve never seen air flow expressed as gallons per second, but in marketing terms five gallons possibly seems more robust compared to 2/3 of a cubic foot.

The two most ubiquitous grievances regarding space heaters in general are noise and insufficient heat.

Judging by the 70 or more reviews I’ve checked out, complaints about noise still occur, but usually not until the heater’s air flow is set at 10 - its highest range. So if noise is an issue, you might like to think twice about investing in a heater you’ll possibly be annoyed with any time you turn it all the way up.

The too little heat criticism is usually the result of a mismatch between the heater and the room size. Fifteen hundred watt heaters, such as the Dyson, are generally most effective when utilized in spaces no larger than two hundred square feet.

Too little heat might also imply too little heat for the money. Although there are fewer complaints of this nature against the Dyson than you'd imagine, anybody who willingly pays $400 for a space heater is looking to get cachet as much as heat.
