Summary

The Dyson AM07 is way more expensive than a normal fan but it provides better and faster cooling, less noise and maximum safety for kids since there are no exposed blades. It looks pretty cool as well.

The Dyson AM07 tower fan is neither a portable air conditioner in the usual sense, nor it looks like a fan. There are no visible blades spinning to create a cool airflow. Instead, the fan consists of ring on top of a cylindrical base.

But turn it on and it produces a powerful stream of cool air. It’s also much quieter than traditional fans.

The Dyson AM07 is a bladeless fan. But not completely bladeless; it’s just that the blades are hidden in the base where they cannot injure curious kids and pets.

While Dyson is the best-known maker of bladeless fans, they are not the first. Toshiba was the first to invent them.

Dyson has greatly improved on the design by introducing Air Multiplier technology that increases the cooling effectiveness of the fan.

If you are looking for a powerful but quiet fan that is safe for your kids and pets, we highly recommend the Dyson AM07 tower fan.

What Are You Buying?

1. Bladeless Operation

The concept of bladeless fans has been around for a while though Dyson was the first to actually manufacturer and sell them.

Traditional fans use external blades to push air around the room, creating a cooling airflow.

In contrast, bladeless fans have no visible blades. They still use blades but they are hidden out of sight at the base of the fan.

The Dyson AM07 draws air through the bottom of the cylindrical base using fans. Other rotating fans push the air upwards into the ring.

The air then comes out of slits on the inside of the ring. The slits are angled such that the airstream is directed forwards.

This design has several benefits.

  • It reduces noise. The AM07 is designed to create as little air turbulence as possible, which is what causes normal fans to be noisy.
  • It’s safer for kids and pets because there are no external spinning blades.
  • Without blades to get into the way, the fan is easier to clean.

2. Powerful but Quiet Airflow

I didn’t quite finish explaining how the Dyson bladeless fan works. Something else happens as the air flows out of the slits in the ring.

As the air moves forward, it creates an area of low pressure that sucks in surrounding air.

This creates an even more powerful airstream that is more effective at cooling. This is what Dyson calls the Air Multiplier technology.

If you want a fan that will cool you down quickly during a summer heatwave, the Dyson AM07 is your best bet.

Despite the large amount of air the fan moves at a high speed, it is surprisingly quiet. As I explained, that’s because there are no external blades to create noise-causing turbulence.

The Dyson AM07 also uses a brushless motor, a noise-absorbing motor casing and asymmetric internal blades to further reduce noise levels.

You can leave the fan on at night and still sleep peacefully.

The low noise levels also make it great for nurseries and offices.

3. 10 Airflow Settings, Oscillation Control and Sleep Timer

You can change how powerful the airflow is by varying the speed of the internal fans. The included remote control provides 10 different settings from nearly silent to a gentle hum.

You can also set a sleep timer between 15 minutes and 9 hours. The fan will automatically turn off after the set period.

Something else you can do with the remote is control the direction of airflow. Use the oscillation control arrow buttons to direct the air towards you for better and faster cooling.

How Easy Is It To Use?

As easy as any other fan.

You simply plug it in, switch it on using the remote control and that’s it.

You can then set your preferred airflow setting, change the direction of airflow and set a sleep timer.

When you are not using the remote, place it on top of the ring. The remote is magnetised so it will stay put.

Maintenance is easy too especially because there are no blades that you have to awkwardly clean.

What Accessories Are Included?

The Dyson AM07 doesn’t include accessories nor do you need any, not even filters.

Anything Else You Should Know?

FAQ: Does the Dyson AM07 Tower Dan Produce Heated Air?

The Dyson AM07 does not produce hot nor chilled air. It only moves air around the room like a normal fan.

But Dyson has other air conditioned bladeless fans that produce heated air. It also has other tower fans that double as air purifiers.

Conclusion

As one customer put it, the Dyson AM07 is expensive but impressive.
