Hi Folks,

I'm looking to buy a Dyson Fan but I'm worried about my electrical bill.

Will it consume a lot of electricity? I'm planning to have it on for about 8 hours
a day.

Anyone here have experience with Dyson Fan?

Thanks

Regardless of brand, fans are, generally, easy on the power consumption. I have those dual-fan units that go in the window. With both fans going, on high, the power consumption was around 50 watts (measured with a Kill-a-Watt).

EDIT:
A quick Google shows these consumption numbers for the Dyson AM01:
Lowest setting: 2-3W
Medium setting1: 13-14W
Highest setting: 31W
Oscillation enabled: +2W

Quick math, at max 33W, that's .033kW... current BC Hydro residential rate is 7.52 cents/kWh, so the fan would cost you about a quarter of a cent per hour to operate... or two cents to run for eight hours.

Isn't that like buying a Ferrari and worrying about the cost of fuel?

A lot of people online are saying their bill change and was up by about $100.

That's why I'm looking for a real life experience here in revscene

Were they using a fan heater model? There's no way that just a fan would consume that much electricity. That's heater country. Tell us what model you're looking at.

Those people are either trolling or using a model with a heater built in

Well it's right there on the page you linked to. 26 watts.

Figures someone willing to spend $400 on a fucking fan wouldn't know where to look :troll:

I have an older model of this one:

Dyson AM06 Desk Fan 30cm (12inch) Bladeless Fan White Silver - Free Delivery | Dysoncanada.ca (http://www.dysoncanada.ca/en-CA/FansAndHeaters/Fans/Desk/AM06-30-range/AM06-Desk-Fan-30-White-Silver.aspx)

For my small apartment it's awesome in the summer. I would guess that because my heat isn't on in my apartment in the summer, it kinda cancels out.

Plus it looks awesome, and it really quiet. The new model says 70% quieter; I don't know how that's possible because it's already damn quiet!

I have a regular fan and is awesome in the summer too... I dont mind the noise as the tv is usually louder...
Dyson fans as great as it looks is too expensive and i dont see any savings by getting it... I've seen knockoffs that cost around 50 bucks which i think is a better value..,hehe

Where? Sorry I miss that part. I'm more looking for a real life examples. Company could put numbers like this but nothing beats real life.

BTW i'm only spending around 289 or less :) I found a way to lessen it :)

Nightmarket, $40 lol

LOL. If you're truly concerned about costs, then go get a non-Dyson fan. It may not be as quiet, but I'm sure it can be just as powerful as a Dyson. If you pay for electricity with the cost savings, you'll be able to power that fan for a decade or two.

It says 26W in the specs. They can't lie about that. And that is max power consumption, not even typical.

$200 for a fan is still retarded

What's so special about these fans ways anyway? They don't seem that powerful when I try at future shop before. My fan is louder but it is like 10x more powerful lol (Well mine fan is more for industry/warehouse use). Is so powerful I never need to turn it higher than Medium lol.

Marketing. They look "cool" and are marketed as "bladeless" (they have blades, they are just in the base). They try to say that having less "choppy" or "buffeted" wind is relevant.

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.

I have a Dyson DC32 vacuum... but can't justify paying that much for a fan.

Totally should market this to the people from China or rich people in China

[Hehe]

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.

They buy the fake ones for $40 :fuckthatshit:

[underscore]

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.
