What’s your stranded-on-a-desert-island, can’t-live-without, most prized possession? I’ll start: My shortlist includes an old-school album of family photos, a pair of slippers I can’t part with, a heated coffee mug, and my Dyson bladeless fan. (Okay, my wedding ring and my daughter’s birth announcement are in there, too.) You read that right: I am totally and utterly devoted to a cute little cooling device, and I can’t imagine my home without it.
You, too, can adopt this guy as a beloved member of your family, and you definitely should while it’s more than $100 off, now through April 16. Seriously: Run, don't walk, for this (don't worry—the fan will cool you down).
Dyson Bladeless Fan Review
Before you balk at the fact that I treat my upright fan like a family member, let me explain myself. I’m very, um, particular about temperature—I’ve always run hot, and my husband tells me that I’m exceedingly sensitive to “stuffiness” (sue me). Living on the 14th floor of an outdated apartment building with an ancient heating system poses challenges, as you might imagine—so I’ve become accustomed to finding personal solutions for chilling out.
After cycling through a number of options, finding the Dyson Bladeless Oscillating Tower Fan was cause for celebration. For me, it’s a steady stream of cool air that I can target straight to the face, 24/7. For my husband, it means listening to *far* less grumbling and groaning on a daily basis. For my toddler, it’s a giggle-inducing plaything—and the bladeless build (which automatically shuts off if it happens to be tipped over) means that, unlike most other fans, it’s totally childproof.
Another thing about my family (since we’re really getting deep, here): We all deal with allergies… year-round. I’m especially sensitive to airborne allergens, which send me into a bedridden state of nose-blowing. Air-conditioning units and spinning fans often exacerbate my symptoms—just thinking about all the dust collecting on the slats and blades gives me the urge to sneeze—so Dyson’s minimalist, no-nooks-and-crannies structure, which takes about three seconds to clean, ranks high on its list of pros.
Our apartment isn’t exactly huge, which means we’re pretty economical about what we bring in the door—and *very* thoughtful about what gets to stick around for the long run. The Dyson bladeless fan is by no means invisible, but it can snuggle into just about any corner or vacant square foot with less disruption than other floor fans I’ve tried, and its next-to-nothing weight makes it easy to transport from room to room.
And without even realizing it, that’s become my habit: I unplug and effortlessly carry it with me as I move from my bedroom, to the living room, to my daughter’s play space throughout the day. Do I have separation issues? Maybe. Have I found the key to being comfortable (read: way more enjoyable to be around) at home? Definitely.
The Dyson bladeless fan has earned its place as a contributing member of my family, and it’s made me infinitely more chill—in all the ways, of course. It’s worth every penny, and that’s especially true while it’s more than $100 off. Go ahead, add it to your family tree.
