Consumer Reports dices Dyson Hot space heater in tests

, Jan 26th 2012 Discuss [9]

There's a little bit of good and a whole lot of bad coming out of the tests that Consumer Reports have released on the 2011/2012 winter season's most expensive and famous heater: the Dyson Hot. We've only spoken about this fan/heater one other time here on SlashGear because, quite simply, it costs WAY too much for the average consumer for what it provides. That said, Consumer Reports did give this fan a cut-up in addition to saying a couple of nice things about it in their most recent report which, in the end, told consumers to go ahead and buy something else instead.

Dyson Hot adds heat to Air Multiplier fans

, Sep 15th 2011 Discuss [1]

Dyson's distinctive Air Multiplier fan has spawned a new version, and this time it wants to keep you toasty warm rather than cool you down.

James Dyson isn't the only one who can do unusual things with fan blades; Australian design student Benjamin McMahon has just won an award for his Ribbon Ceiling Fan, which not only looks far more impressive than a regular fan but is far more efficient.  The helical loop moves air faster than standard blades, as well as spreading it out across the room rather than pushing it directly down.

, Dec 9th 2009 Discuss [3]

In a move almost guaranteed to provoke controversy, TIME have announced their "Top 10 Everything of 2009" list and the Motorola DROID pips the iPhone 3GS to the post for the number one spot in the gadgets category.  In fact, Apple's latest smartphone slots into fourth position, trailing the Barnes & Noble nook in second place, and - somewhat bizarrely, for all that we appreciate the engineering involved - Dyson's Air Multiplier fan in third place.
