Dyson AM09 Fan Heater, White/Silver

Product Information

We love that the cooling and heating buttons allow us to switch between fan mode and heating mode with the touch of a finger. The rest of the cylindrical shape is is taken up by the tilting, optionally-automatically-rotating base, which includes the air vents, a single power button and a small LED display which lets you know which mode, speed and temperature the fan is set to. Accessories – Dyson accessories are as sturdy as their vacuums when it comes to removing dust, dirt and allergens.

Another key advantage of this model over other electric heaters is that it is quieter to operate thanks in part to its brushless motor. Reviewers do note that when it is set at maximum power (37 degrees, level 10 on the device) it is noticeably audible, though shouldn't cause too much disturbance if you are chilling in front of the TV or reading for example. Heating – the Dyson Hot+Cool fan features a fast even room heating and powerful personal heating as well as the jet focus control. Fans – Dyson fans have no blade and choppy air, they are also safe, easy to clean, features a sleep timer and comes with a remote control. As well as being far easier on the eye, the AM09 is considerably safer than some alternatives. It won’t scold the wayward hands of any inquisitive child like a an electric bar heater would, for example. After 30 minutes pumping out at full heat, the AM09’s body was comfortable to touch – you could move it easily without discomfort. Dyson Supersonic – this hair dryer has an intelligent heat control for shine. It also features the Dyson digital motor which spins on average 6 times faster than other hair dryer motors at one inaudible frequency – yet is a third of the weight.It depends on the size of your room and the difference between ambient and desired temperatures, but during our testing the AM09 got up to temperature in under five minutes. Of course, at the time of writing in mid-April, the ambient temperature of roughly 20 degrees is a world away from a cold British winter evening, so we’ll have to return to testing later in the year to see whether it maintains these speeds. Models in the same range (eg the V15 Detect range or the V11 range) usually have the same core machine – the only difference is the accessories and supplied floor heads. The data might reveal whether there's an ideal time of year to buy your preferred Dyson, or whether it's currently a peak period when prices tend to be at their highest. 4. Shop around It’s a great, stylish fan and heater that’s perfect for upmarket living rooms, home offices or anywhere that needs what the Dyson offers. The Jet Focus feature works very well, and is something no rival can offer at present. This fan is not designed for large master bedrooms. It does take a little while for our room to heat up to 70¯. Our master is 16X18. We've run three winters with this model. No problems at report. Also, unlike some cheaper heater/fans, the housing surrounding the heating element has not warped or been damaged. The housing unit when the heat is on is not hot, unlike other companies heater/fans.

It's also worth remembering that having multiple accessories can be more of a hindrance than a help, especially when storing them, which is another reason not to splash out on a model with expensive extras unless you're sure you need them.

The fan and heater are controlled by a remote that magnetically attaches to the top of the unit. The remote was useful for changing the setting of the fan without moving from our seats, but it is the only way to control several features of the fan, so make sure you don’t lose it. Oscillation is one of the remote-controlled features and one of our favorites. The fan moves quietly along a wide arc, delivering a blast of warm air across the length of a room. It also tilts up and down so you can direct the airflow right where you need it. It’s not just about performance though, as V8 models are more expensive – and the V6 isn’t cheap in the first place! For this reason, choose the V6 if you want a vacuum for daily cleaning and would prefer a lower price rather than a longer run-time. If you want to use a cordless vacuum for cleaning an entire home, however, then the V8’s 40-minute run-time is the better choice.

Employing the same engineering brilliance behind their immensely popular vacuum cleaners, the Dyson AM09 Hot & Cool Heater is a stylish and effective domestic fan device that also functions as a standard fan to cool down the air. As a result, it is of use not only in the colder months, but throughout every season in the year. It has a temperature range of 1°C - 37 °C. For heating, a thermostatic system is used and once a room has reached the desired temperature, the AM09 will reduce its output so that it is maintained. When it comes to cooling down a room, the unit does not function as an air conditioner, rather, it blows the air around the room to create a fresh and cooling effect. Dyson AM09 Hot & Cool: Stylish The AM09 looks almost identical to the outgoing AM05, with a tall, oblong-shaped aperture and a chunky base which hides its brushless motor. Dyson has removed almost all of the buttons from the front, replacing them with a single power button and white LCD display showing airflow speed and desired temperature. Without the bundled remote, you’ll only be able to turn the fan on and off, and cycle through target temperatures by holding in the single button on the front of the unit. There’s no option to turn the power and temperature LEDs off, which could be a little irritating if the fan is directly in your line of sight when trying to get to sleep. There is at least a nine hour sleep timer, so you can set it to switch off automatically before you drop off. You could pay hundreds of pounds over the odds if you buy a Dyson vacuum at the wrong time or from the wrong place.As noted earlier, the headline new feature on the AM09 is its Jet Focus tech, which lets you project the warm or cooling airflow at an individual. It uses the Coanda effect, which causes air to charge direction as it travels over a surface, and two aperture rings to regulate the spread and direction of air generated.

No spinning blades or anything so it's pretty safe for children also it means no collection of dust The 3-metre power cord shouldn’t cause you an problems when it comes to plug placement, either – I found this afforded enough freedom to place the fan in any discreet but efficient location. Other Things to Consider Perhaps more impressively is how the AM09 manages to achieve this while being significantly quieter than the outgoing AM05. The improved motor is barely audible on the lowest heat setting, and only slightly louder on the lowest fan levels. We could comfortably get to sleep with the fan on a medium setting, and it didn’t prove distracting when watching TV or having a conversation during the daytime either. It’s a welcome improvment over the old model and a major selling point for anyone with a loud, traditional fan heater. Despite playing host to a flurry of new features, the AM09 looks virtually identical to its predecessor – I think it looks like an oversized needle with the pointy end removed. Like previous Dyson air multipliers, the latest AM09 oozes style and high-end appeal. It’s easy on the eye, well-constructed, so the fact it looks the same isn’t a problem. Purifiers - Dyson purifiers capture 99.95% of potentially harmful pollutants, and keep them trapped.

Overall, the 59.5cm tall AM09 is compact and easy to store when not in use. It’s stable despite a footprint small enough to sit comfortably on floor or countertop. A tilting base and oscillating movement allowing for more targeted heating and cooling. Like on the company’s past air multipliers, a brushless motor and bladeless design combine to ensure airflow is not buffeted. This might not sound like a major advantage, but you won’t want to revert to a choppy, bladed fan once you’ve tried it. It’s an expensive option, but one which gives a luxury performance. Jet Focus Control certainly worked during our testing, as we could feel a steady flow of air from several feet away – even with the airflow speed set to a low level. Diffused mode works best when heating a room, taking just a few minutes to increase the temperature of a medium-sized bedroom by three degrees above ambient. Humidifiers – Dyson humidifiers are scientifically proven to hydrate dry air for a healthier environment You would expect the prices of older vacuums to go down rather than up, but we've found that some Dysons end up being sold for a price that well exceeds the original amount – even several years after they were launched.
