For the people not fooled by marketing, they probably just want to buy a $400 fan to be able to show their wealth in yet another ostentatious way.
Totally should market this to the people from China or rich people in China

To be honest, Dyson fan was never meant for everyone. You'd know that from the sticker.

But there is a niche market out there and I believe if Dyson can somehow make a $99 version, it would sell like hotcakes.

Heck, at its usual on-sale price, I'd consider a good choice for parents as I had personal experience with it.

My niece never understood that sticking her fingers in the fan is dangerous. She even finds the ability to be able to stop the fan quite funny. So there was no way to stop her except putting fans in places impossible for her to reach.

My brother complained to me about it, so I bought one of the Dyson fans (which I got for $120 from a liquidator on Kijiji. Supposedly openbox/demo, but when I opened it, everything was sealed) during my last trip to Taiwan to visit my brother. Problem solved.

Dyson is like the Apple of fans and vacuums, but worse. Unique looking product + BS marketing + high price tag = profits.

Also if you don't want a kid to stick their fingers in a fan either get the ones with the metal mesh covers or stop worrying. A home fan won't slice your finger off so I'm not sure what you're worried about.
