Comment:
Having many physical issues; I cannot tolerate a bathroom temp that hovers at 60 degrees F. I believed this Digital Dyson AM04 Hot & Cool Bladeless Multiplier Fan as one to purchase; it lives up to the brand name; having meticulously reviewed electric usage, it has proven very economical to run. I highly encourage anyone to purchase it despite the initial investment; monies will be made up in short time because of product performance. I now enjoy just under 70 degrees F in the same bathroom, always shutting it down & unplugging, when out of the home!

Comment:
I already had the tall Dyson fan, and wanted something for Wisconsin winters to boost heat in a single room as I usually leave my thermostat at 60 during the day. So I got this on a 25% off sale. It heats up very quickly, within 10 seconds or so it is blowing hot air, and even 10 feet away you can feel the warm air.<br /><br />I don't find this loud at all considering all the tower fans I've gone through before switching to Dyson. <br /><br />Best oscillation of any tower units I've tried, and the fact that it can tilt up and down to direct airflow is a plus.<br /><br />It's stylish as well, far more visually appealing than other things. <br /><br />The unit does not get too hot to the touch anywhere on it, so it's safe for little ones and pets. <br /><br />I use it in a open concept area, 15 foot ceilings and great room / dining room / kitchen are all one space with a half height wall floating between the kitchen and great room, so there's a lot of space to heat. It does well keeping the area I'm in warmer, and monitoring the thermostat I can see the temperature going up as well.<br /><br />Expensive if you don't get it on sale, but it's doing a better job than the other two types of space heaters I've tried.
