- At £350 the Dyson Hot + Cool is a seriously expensive fan heater, but is it worth the price? I take a look.

It's super hot right now 🔥, how are you staying cool? ❄️ To reiterate, this is a fan and not an A/C unit it will not cool down your room, it will only circulate air! Any questions? Leave a comment and I'll get back to you 👌🏾
AGTech this is a great and timely comment thanks ✌🏿
VERY timely as I was JUST about to leave a comment asking him this very question. Welp, it looks like I have to look for another product. Any recommendations; I really need something that will produce cold air and circulate it.
aroundtheclock you're going to want to buy an A/C unit I'm afraid. 😞To produce cold air you need to move heat from one area (inside) to another (outside) which cools the room.
AGTech few
correct it is not an ac unit but it will circulate cooler air that lays below the hotter air, hot rises cool sinks so by tilting the am09 down this will cause the cooler air to mix and with warmer air thus cooling.
Nice, straight forward, easy to understand, honest review
*This works pretty well for it's little size **Fastly.Cool** my bedroom I learned to soak the filter in ice water for best resultsThis is a lifesaver when the power goes out over a three day weekend*
That's pretty helpful. It's record high heat here in San Francisco and I was thinking about buying this fan. I mistakenly assumed it was also an air conditioner for hot weather from the misleading name, but now I know better. Thanks buddy, I'll be buying a regular window AC. Very helpful.
I did too and took it out of box threw box away and realised it wasn't cool!
It was a process to get my $619 back by calling fair trading. I was advised due to feeling misled by the advertising dating cools you in summer and it's called cool then I can get refund even without box.
Waiting on my refund into my bank which should get soon by 10 days
After 12months use i rolled the contents of the filter into a doobie. Having filtered out the THC from a years worth of constant bong smoke, i couldnt move for 4 hours
+Timmy135ify I'll be sure to test that in my next review
So it is good for something then...haha
So you reccomend it as THC purifier?, i was looking for one of those....
No I would not recommend any Dyson product for anything other than the scrap heap as for a THC purifier nothing works like mother nature...
LMAO!
I have this fan it's amazing, I have it for my room it's nice and cool and since I'm almost using anc headphones ( Bose 35 or Sony 3000) I can't hear it under setting 6 it does cool down my room well enough to keep the door closed and not have it get hot the past part is my room is fairly small 20x20x10ft so about 11,000 cubic litters it cleans all my air in it every 30 seconds, I've bought it and my parents made multiple remarks on how the air in my room is much nicer and better, definitely would spend 649.00$ again to get it for another room
Great video that told me everything i need to know easily.. just curious what other products you'd recommend as you mentioned there are others on the market for less cost.
You just smoked dust and dirt with the Thc that’s why you were sick
I have one of these for about three years no problems with it works perfect cools down your bedroom and heat it up
Good review! Btw what decibel app were you using?
every review talks about heating. i live in australia, i want to know if its actually cold.
Bamwich it doesn't cool the air it's just a fan in that respect. It isn't an AC unit
It supposedly has temperature settings from 1-36 degrees C.
That would imply air conditioning if the claim is to be believed. 4-5 deg C is what it's like inside your refridgerator.
lostn65 thats exactly my point. also if it can, it must use a lot of electricity.
This is a fan with a heating element inside of it. the 1-37 degree setting is for what temperature you want to heat the room to, it does not cool down the room. Hope that clears up any confusion.
Bamwich I have it)(exactly the one that also purifies air) and it doesn't make it cooler. It releases the air at the temperature that's in the room.
wow, know it's a year old but good start as a first review. Just stay unbiased! Most important part is just that.
Great little device for what does. Cools a large area for its size. We love it!
hey, thanks for the review ! what can you get for "10th of its price with almost all or the same features?"
I used this product and was very satisfied. You can get from this link: amzn.to/2Zc6di4
I don't mind any sound coming from it. In fact, I prefer it. What I don't like is the night time use part as the light(s) on the front are too freaking bright! I wish you could turn off the digital light. Dyson should have it so that the light will turn off after a few second after being pressed. I have to place something in front of it to try to block the very bright digital display light as if its some sort of night light that illuminates my bedroom.
Have one and my electric bill double in the first month and I didn't run it everyday.
Thanks for the review! Thought about this one. E-mailed them and asked about efficiency, didn't get any proof back that it was more efficient than a regular convector element (around £25) + floor fan, so that's what I got. Most of the regular ones also have the option to turn the fan completely off while still having the same heating setting. They do get a lot hotter inside though (if you have small children, pets etc), outside is just warm to the touch. Have a good one.
Good review. I concur with you. Bought it in India. Does not improve the air quality inside when AQ Index is unhealthy or severe outside. Defeats the very purpose of an air purifier so far as my experience goes
I got the exact same one. For the design I think is worth to pay more. But the cool function just work like normal fan. I don't like the hot setting, the hot wind is not hot enough if you stay a distance, unless you stay close. I rather use the ducted heating....
Thank you for honesty
$500 Dyson fan vs maybe $50 fan, maybe Dyson win, but $50 fan x 10 would be different story
Can you recommend then some purifier heating and cooling devices?
Dyson is all about the technology of moving air!This versatile unit is conveniently both a fan and a heater...with an amazing little remote that gives the user a full range of thermostatically controlled temperatures and the ability to rotate and control the air flow!There are many days that do not require central heat or AC...that is when this unit is perfect!There are many deals on eBay where the price is significantly lower that the manufacturers retail❗️
can you control power of the heating element or only fan speed?
+jagodek02 you can control both
There's a temperature setting, you would control it via that.
Wow! Great for your first video!!!
I love my Fan got it on HSN could not of picked a better Christmas Gift From me to me Thanks for showing me how to tilt it
Good video, interesting design of the fan
Thank you, hope you found it informative, do you have any questions?
can this be placed in the long pile carpet similar to the carpet shown in the video ?
Yes it can be
Also been wondering, does it really heat 1,200 feet?
What do you mean by that?
Great review, thanks!
Cheers!
I used this product and was very satisfied. You can get from this link: amzn.to/2Zc6di4
what can you get for a tenth of the price with the same features (minus the bladeless)?
A tower fan from Bunnings $20
Lasko makes a hot/cool tower. I think it costs about $90US
It may be worth noting that Price = Cost + Profit, but an additional factor is one's perceived Value of the object. The price of this product will pay for the Research & Development that Dyson put into this tech-and fund future tech-which will factor into the price of new products. That is valuable in-and-of itself.
What item do you mean that costs less than a 10th of the price?
Just a normal fan heater
What app did you use to measure decibels?
Decibel X
I have this fan, it is definitely NOT quiet at the comparable air flow of other fan. My comparison is a $35 Costco towel fan. Tower fan at low setting has about the same air pressure as this dyson at 6 setting. But the tower fan is a lot more quiet. Dyson is only quiet at 2-3 setting. Another issue here is that the noise general by dyson has a higher pitch, a lot more distracting noise than larger fan. Overall, I am very disappointed by the practical performance of this dyson fan at its cost. My wife still like it for its look. but in a hot summer day, she will grab my tower fan. I won't buy it again
TheEelnoraa I agree, was disappointed by how much noise it made
I used this product and was very satisfied. You can get from this link: amzn.to/2Zc6di4
The heating feature is really good, but the cooling is disappointing. I have this and the am07, and I must say I think that one is better for the money. Not really worth the cost imo
The cooling is disappointing because it’s just a fan, it doesn’t actually cool the air
How well does it cool?
is this an air conditioner?
Can you use this for budget apartment heating
Nothing about this product is budget - just get a basic fan heater
It uses 1500W/1.5kwh of power. That's a fair amount. If energy costs are 20c per kwh, it'll cost you 30c an hour to run it.
If you run it for 5 hours (1 hour in the morning, 4 hours in the evening) that'll be $1.50 a day. If you use it 300 days a year, it costs $450 a year to run that thing! So even if you had it for free, it wouldn't be good for budget apartment heating.
Also, the room is only warm as long as you have the device on. Once you turn it off, the room will quickly turn cold again because it doesn't hold onto residual heat.
I would only buy the Dyson for the safety element and timer option so you can put it on before bed and fall asleep without worries. Or if you have animals/small kids and are worried about injury from touching fan blades/hot exterior or it being knocked over. The Dyson is definitely one of the safest options out there in that regard, but if you're single, you're better buying off a regular ceramic space heater with a timer plug for $50 total because that they are just as safe, if not safer (ceramic and metal is more resistant to heat than Dyson's plastic housing)
So, it's not an A/C unit and just a well marketed but very expensive fan, No thanks.
Pretty much!
I used this product and was very satisfied. You can get from this link: amzn.to/2Zc6di4
@@MarvelNo5 Thankyou that might be what I am looking for.
You didn't mention cost to run the thing.
What is the wall towel warmer unit in the background?
It’s just a radiator, nothing special!
You have just made my day lad.
A Brit accent.
Temp in ˚C
Cost in Quids.
What more could we want?
BUT why four forks ACHE would I want the heat on while I'm under the Duvet?
£350?! ...err try £220 in the Black Friday sale 2017 from every major retailer. Anyhoo, it is a fantastic machine to use as a device to warm a decent sized room. The cool feature is good but not great, the warm function works best in my opinion.
I farted in mine after a 3 bean salad and burned out the sensor That was one powerful fart !
Short answer no. its mainly for looks. does shit in real heatwave situations. That goes for all models.
Can it really run at 1 degree Celcius? That is almost freezing point.
On air cooling? That is extremely hard to believe.
This is a fan with a heating element inside of it. the 1-37 degree setting is for what temperature you want to heat the room to, it does not cool down the room. Hope that clears up any confusion.
Yes that's true, it will run at 1C...that is if the room temperature is 1C already...
It’s literally water proof you have to rinse the vents and it blows like new. Let dry and get all water out be carful to only spray the dirt out upside down.
how do you get the dust out from in the vents
My disappointment was immediate. The cooling function is not cool at all. It only circulates the air around. But the worst part of them is how loud they get on the higher speeds, much louder than a regular fan. Worst of all is that I got them through a loyalty program so I can't return them, and to make matters worse I got 2 of these. Also, the air does not go that far at all, even on the highest setting.
We'll see what they are like when winter comes.
+dr bit totally agree! Really not worth the money!
Thank you for this.
Well if you want to sell one because your that unhappy just let me know.
Idc about the noise, I gotta deal with my neighbor's whining dog during mornings and evenings and I'm too nice a neighbor to complain to them.
dr bit How much do you want for it?
White definitely looks nicer than the black one!
How much does this codt
Misleading name. I assumed it had some type of reverse cycle capability. Seems like a product aimed at rich people and hipsters. Thanks for the review.
This is just a fan and a heater combined. I think it is not worth the hefty price. It is just as noisy as a regular fan and simply circulates the air around the room like a normal fan does. The heating may be better .... cannot tell now as it is summer, but when one has central heating who needs an expensive electric heater like this. There are numerous small fan heaters around at a fraction of the cost. No, I do not recommend this product to anyone and the one I purchased is going to be returned for a refund soon.
What specific brand are you talking about that does the same thing? heat + cool?
Any random fan heater - literally any of them
What about the air cleaning etc etc?
This model isn't a purifier.
I'm pretty sure it comes with a HEPA filter with a charcoal filter
This model is just a hot and cool - the ones with air filtration will have “pure” in their name e.g. hot + cool pure
I bought this fan about 1 month ago and I must say it is impressive with its long throw airflow at a quiet setting of 4. It's not cheap and I feel a little guilty buying it but it does look fantastic and has a low footprint compared to a circular fan. And as far as performance goes, you can have it on while watching the telly without being noisy. I give it a 7/10
peanuts2105 it's beautiful indeed 😍
Don't feel guilty....you'll have to replace very soon...
Claims efficient heating and powerful cooling (from the manual and on the box). Ok how is it efficient? Uses 2000 watts of power on heat and you wont find this figure in the manual, someone claims it's good for toddlers because no fan blades, true but don't let them stick their hand into the heating element...burnies...Powerful cooling? well this rely s on how much you sweat, because it's just a fan, not a Powerful cooling unit. looks nice but this is all it's got going for it. Sorry Dyson stick to vacuum cleaners but if they're anything like this woeful product I'd give them a wide berth as well...
Sadly just a very expensive fan. In test it does not even perform as well as some standard cheap fans at moving air. All it will do is move hot air around on a hot day. Clever marketing 🙄
Was about to buy one, $799 au . now I’ll shop around but won’t be a Dyson.
Glad to help 👍🏽
I have owned one for a while now and it was a gift. Truthfully, there is a serious disconnect between the price and the performance. The plastic has burned brown and cracked from the heat in the airfoil, and it's noisy.
Kaya nya ba yan mag palamig ng room
I see a lot of people saying it’s just an expensive fan but I don’t agree. The air from this feels a lot more powerful and cleaner. Also quieter than a traditional fan.
These fans are so expensive!
Does it really make the air colder?
It’s just a fan not an A/C unit unfortunately, it won’t make the air cooler
Or you could buy an air conditioner for the money.
It's just a fan with a heater, it doesn't cool the air at all.
I think calling it "Hot+Cool" is misleading.
what happens when my dog pisses on it?
You get the smell of hot piss wafting round your room
SCREW the Design, if it isn't doing the DAMN job properly e.g. keeping me cool during Summer then I might as well buy a mini AC with that money.
jamil1985 a mini A/c will be great even a cheap one does the job and lowers the temperature
I used this product and was very satisfied. You can get from this link: amzn.to/2Zc6di4
its honesty not worth 500$ luckily i found it for 250 with tax at my local best buy
i didnt understand at all... what language was that? or is it the microphone?
If his cars are anything like his vacuums, they will look good, but perform badly. Possibly even have an annoying plastic squeak like his vacuums do!! No surprise his 'fan' is rubbish too.
haha this dude totally has a different accent than you would expect.
ALOT LESS POWER.I'LL STAY WITH THE BLADE FAN NOT THE BLADELESS
Nothing like body heat!!! ;)
Way over priced for a fan. Kmart fans do the same job.
The problem with the Dyson Hot & Cool is that it has a fundamental flaw which Dyson does not seem to know how to fix. I bought one of these and after about 4 months use it developed a high pitched whining noise (rather irritating). Since it was under a 2 year warranty, I had it returned to Dyson and after some hassle, Dyson sent me a replacement, which I’ve been using now for about 3 months and it too has developed the same high pitched whining noise problem. Clearly this product is unreliable and it has been more trouble than it’s worth. Since there is still time left on the 2 year warranty, I shall return it to Dyson, to decide what they intend to do about it. I have lost all faith in this company and regret having bought it. Disappointing. I hope that Dyson just gives me a refund, rather than send me yet another one which will start to whine after about 3 months..... and then what ? Send it back to them again ?
Thanks for posting as I was seriously looking at buying one. No mention from Dyson what’s causing the whining?
And as for Dysons latest bullshit... a digital motor....please explain ; The term "digital motor" appears to have been invented by Dyson for marketing purposes. The fundamental principal is the same as for all other electromagnetic motors. The specific type of motor used by Dyson has permanent magnets in the rotor and is called a brushless DC motor or a permanent-magnet synchronous motor. This is just like the POWERFUL COOLING jargon Dyson uses to sell the Hot+Cool....more bullshit .
He
Problem with hot...H2 error.
saying it produces 65 decibels of noise is great, but how about we hear it? because for 99% of people, 65 decibels means literally nothing
It’s about the same noise as a loud fart - seriously.
Sorry people. You would need to be brain dead to spend this much money on a fan. I could afford this fan, but I would be embarrassed to have anyone know I was dumb enough to buy it.
In a word no.......
Spoiler warning
Being from Chicago I could barely understand this gentleman’s heavy English accent
Heavy accents FTW
With all respects
I smoke a lot,does this machine Help
I AM gettin...so tired of all these Reviews,does this thing Clean Air in your Room while Your smoking and Gaming....
Do U have to SHUT al windows to make it work ect.
What is the Value compared to cheaper,that also ad Humidity.
Guess what,I just bought a cheap one at Ebay(darn English socket),will try to make my own review..
Greetings !
If you want one that cleans the air you'll need their pure hot and cool variety of fans, they work very well, so I hear
Yeah ,I messed up,bought the AM 09.
Greetings !
U aren't even showing how cool it is. Ur apartment looks awful. What an awful rug. It's silent . It makes no noise. Picky. U can stick ur arm thru it and not burn ur arm.
$700 fan what a joke
It's a scam! Nothing but a fan
No don't get back to me I would not bother it is a waste of time it is a fan at a very stupid price Dyson must be laughing at anyone that purchases it and that includs you plus your so called review was rubish
That’s sad to hear bob
Your english is not clear. Try to speak slower and louder.
lol clean your ears mate
Now now foamy! Nobody likes a show off! Sweet dreams 😤😤😤
This guy needs speech lessons. The sound of his voice goes up and down, and you lose track of what he's saying.
All people care about is whether it gets hot/cold effectively. Worst review ever. Plus, you definitely can't get something that blows cool air for a 10th of the price. All you can get is a regular fan for that.
This is a regular fan... it’s not an A/C unit
