The fan is in the base, It works on a venturi principal. Old technology well designed and marketed, like much of the Dyson products none of the principals are new. Everything he has designed is being used and made everyday in industry. The Apple of the household appliance world.

Right, and you wouldn’t want a huge industrial vacuum system installed in your garden and piped around your house, would you? That’s where Dyson comes in.
Something doesn’t have to be an original principle to be a good idea, does it? Apparently, bikes were being made years before Orange came along and started trying to flog expensive ones…
Worth every penny, miles cheaper than running central heating in my house. And really quick to heat a room. You will recoup,the purchase price fairly sharpish, mine paid for itself in about 9 months.
Father-in-law has a couple – it’s fun to throw ping pong balls into the back.
Genuine LOLs at that one! 🙂

Think how much quicker a decent jumper and some fluffy slippers would have paid for them selves. 😉

If his vacuums and hand driers are anything to go by, I bet it’s good.
You do realise that JD has thousands of minions engineers designing new stuff for him.
Dyson PR is very good at using him as a figure head.
The Dyson Hot may project the air into the room better but in principle it is no different to any other fan heater so I cant see how it would be more efficient, especially compared to CH.
The USP of Dyson air multiplier fans are the looks and that they are easy to clear. For cooling fans that makes a great deal of sense in a hot country where cooling fans are used all day so a nice looking one is important as it is a always on show. Can’t see the point for an occasional use heater.
you’d hope – the smallest gas space heater I’ve had cost over 150 spots. Used 9-5 it would get through£80 – £100 worth of bottled gas a week. A big one can empty a 45kg/£75 bottle in less than a day. The bottles cost money to hire too so they cost you money even if everything is switched off. Only used mine on and off over a 2 year period but it packed up having only managed to empty less than four 45kg bottles. I took it apart to salvage some fittings to make a Rubens Tube and they are made of garbage. I have to say if you use those gas heaters as a benchmark the Dyson suddenly looks like astounding good value
Not sure of your point. I don’t think Mr Branson dons a cap and gets into the cab of his Virgin trains, do you?
I don’t think anyone expects that Branson does anything at the coal face with Virgin but many people do think that James Dyson invents everything that comes from Dyson.

He’s pretty hands on. He actually quit as head of the company to be more involved with the development. Of course he doesn’t come up with all the new ideas but he will have some involvement. He is good for their marketing, though, much like Jobs at Apple.
