Introducing The $330 Bladeless Fan!!!

Amber Lamps · 06-27-2010, 08:31 PM

I had to buy this! How weird that Dyson guy is. I'll bet he's related to the grizzly bear suit dude! Anyway, I went to Best Buy and bought it with a gift card I got from work. It's going back, of course but I just had to see this thing in action!

On the positive side, I must say that it is quiet and it definitely pushes some air! It also operates VERY smooth and looks kinda cool, I guess...but over $300? Hahahahahahaha!

There is a more traditional "fan" in the base that sucks in air and then forces it through the loop. The loop has slots where the air is directed out.

George Washington Carver once said, "When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."

Apparently he neglected to mention the fat fucking price tag you can slap on things because of said attention.

How boring. I thought it was one of the super-charged "ion breeze" things. No high voltage or anything going on with this.
