Dyson Air Multiplier Bladeless Pedestal Fan – $229.99

This Dyson can’t be beat. Unless you beat it.

Look, they don’t call me “Hector Thomas, The Fan Wrangler” because I don’t know what I’m talking about.

So why don’t you just take a seat and listen a minute. There are two things that every fan has in common: 1) they are great for air circulation, and 2) they’ll inevitably stage an uprising against the people they consider to be their captors (you) and the only way to suppress said uprising is with brute force.

Now, with a traditional fan, blades and all, this can be a daunting task. Like hornets, fans can sense fear, and like hornets, fans can attack when you least expect them to. But can a hornet throw off its blade cover and chew down your pinky to a stub? No sir!

That’s not to say it’s impossible to take down a standard model in man-to-fan combat. I’ve actually got it down to a science; all it takes is me narrowing my eyes at the approaching cooling-mechanism-turned-attacker, rolling up my shirt over my biceps, and saying, “You sure you wanna do this? Cause once I get going, I won’t stop until you’re just an ornamental arrangement of screws-on-plastic.” and it’s back in the corner keeping the room from getting too stuffy like it oughta. But then again, as I said before, they don’t just hand out names like “The Fan Wrangler” to any two-bit fan fighter who comes along and dropkicks a desk unit out a third floor window.

That’s why, when anyone asks me for fan advice, I tell them to go with a safer, easier to take-down-a-notch bladeless model like the Dyson Air Bladeless Pedestal Fan. First off, you can keep it clean, and since dust build-up on blades will lead to irritability and resentment, a clean, bladeless fan is less likely to go for your jugular while you sleep, or “make an example” of your terrier.

But more importantly, you can look at a Dyson Air Bladeless Pedestal Fan and say, without even a glint of apprehension in your eyes, “I could punch right through you and not feel a thing.” And that makes all the difference.

What is Air Multiplier™ Technology?
