Top Comments of this video!! :3
This is a GREAT review, and proof that just because it looks cooler and costs more money doesn't mean it's better. We got our Dyson Pure Hot + Cool because it did everything (heating, cooling and air purification) - and got it at Costco for almost half the price of what it retails for. So it was a more worthwhile (albeit still overpriced) investment. It's come in handy when the office gets a little colder in the winter than the rest of the apartment, and I wouldn't trade it for the world now as it starts getting warmer and my pcs, and what have you warm up the room even quicker. But again, although I'm happy with it overall, it doesn't mean you can't get numerous products that do all these things separately for much cheaper, and just swap them out throughout the year.

In an effort to stop people from all commenting the same thing, here's a list of frequently commented things and my response to them:
Comment: You're comparing an Air Purifier to a fan. That's like comparing an apple to an orange.
Response: Dyson markets this product directly as the "Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifying Fan." The box is plastered with phrases like "Cools you in the summer," or "powerful air projection," along with all of their purification branding. Consumers that go to the store to buy one of these are looking to buy a product that works well as both an air purifier AND a fan. If the Pure Cool purifies the air just fine but is completely inferior as a fan, then it is a poor design and consumers should simply buy a fan and a purifier separately instead of spending over $600 for an inferior product. Also, I just made a follow up video with the AM07 fan, one without the purifier: https://youtu.be/OB3v_BvtBUo
Comment: The Dyson will last much longer as it has a brushless motor.
Response: True. But you could buy several cheap fans and replace them as they wear out and still have saved hundreds of dollars.
Comment: A 10dB difference is ten times louder in a technical sense, but humans don't perceive that large of a difference.
Response: Also true. We perceive it to be about twice as loud. But that's still significantly louder than the cheap fan.
Comment: You should have compared the cheap fan with the AM07 Dyson fan that doesn't have a HEPA filter restricting its air flow.
Response: This was the only fan at my local store, so it was the one I tested. I think the point I was trying to make about the efficacy of this particular Dyson fan still stands, but if Dyson is confident that one of their other fans is able to beat up some cheap fans in a wind speed test, they can send over one and I'll shoot another video with more tests.

Got one of these from Costco. Returned it after a few months. We hated it. Dyson products are insanely overpriced and usually don't last long. Every dyson product I've had has broken. Had bad air flow out of the box. The filters on our fan clogged up before they were supposed to be replaced and then the air would barely flow at all. The filter replacements are also 80 bucks a pop.

A change of 10 db does indicate 10 times the power, but humans do not perceive that as 10 times the volume. For practical purposes, a change of 1 db is approximately the smallest perceptible change in sound volume. It takes doubling amplifier power to raise speaker volume by about 3 db. To produce an apparent doubling of volume, the amplifier power must be multiplied by 10.

What a great video, I bought a Dyson fan about 6 years ago becuase it was on special. I drove home plugged it, unplugged it, drove back and returned it… finally understanding why it was on special. It was R5000 at half price at the time, and I bought a replacement fan, for R600… I still have my El Cheapo, works like a charm and have never even changed the batteries on the remote…. It is unfortunate because I wanted to need the Dyson :-)

One more comparison to make: Plug them into a watt meter, and I'll bet you'll find, that the Dyson "Air Multiplier" will use more power per CFM of air flow. Again, that difference in power will probably be less, than powering up both the conventional fan AND an air purifier. The Dyson might actually be more efficient than running both other less expensive units. Note, that for every watt consumed by ANY electrical appliance, there is ~3.4 BTU's of heat dissipated. The less power your air circulating equipment uses, the less temperature rise in the room!

Can confirm these results. I have one and continue to use it because I enjoy the technology it has (really wanted something with env info and voice controls) but when it comes to its core purpose itself, it’s honestly crap as a fan. It’s significantly louder and moves less air than my much cheaper Honeywell stick fan does.

Dyson fan looks cool. Ordinary fan makes cool.
