Dyson AM07 White/Silver

I've already 'worn out' quite a few fans, but none of those devices lasted long in my house: they all make too much noise.

In many specifications, the noise level is expressed in dB at maximum fan power. That means nothing, because A) a relatively powerful fan can work fine on the lowest setting and then make relatively less noise and B) because dB says nothing about the nature of the noise.

The AM-07 produces more than enough air displacement on the lowest setting to sufficiently cool a large bedroom. As long as the air is in motion, you avoid 'dead', stuffy conditions. And on the lowest setting you hear a small noise (white noise) that is comparable to a computer fan. No whistle, no bass, just a murmur. That sound helps me sleep.

At position 2 you still only have noise. At positions 3,4 and 5 you can hear the engine whistling softly. If you go even faster, the noise drowns out the whistle. Even on the highest setting you have no hum/bass as almost all fans with a rotor have.

The great thing is that I can now close the window if there is too much noise outside and that I still have a good climate, plus that any incoming noise is wonderfully filtered out by the noise of this Dyson.

In summary: if you are, like me, a sound neurot and you only sleep when there are no disturbing noises: then this is your fan!

My wife and I sleep under the roof, and it was unbearable during the heat wave of July 2018. Because we didn't want to bother with hoses to the outside and the like, we opted for a tower fan. I was immediately charmed by this Dyson, but was put off by the price tag. That is why I chose the Bestron, which was put forward as the best buy by Coolblue. It failed. On silent mode, the effect was barely noticeable if you sat further than one and a half meters and on higher mode the device made too much noise. I sent the unit back and got a Dyson. What struck me is that the device is very easy to assemble. The operation is also intuitive. Boy, that really makes a world of difference: it gives the feeling that a gentle breeze is blowing through the room. It stands next to the bed, so that the air sweeps over you, as it were. Not a monotonous drone but rather a buzzing sound. I am a light sleeper, but on setting 1 or 2 I have no problem falling asleep to this noise.

I bought this ven for 329. It also costs advice from Dyson itself. However, in a few days the price has risen to 559!!. Can mean 2 things either they sleep at coolblue or they want to get rich in a short time. Two emails about this were brushed aside.
