Dyson Pedestal Air Multiplier
The summer is essentially over, but I finally got my hands on the newer Dyson Pedestal Air Multiplier. I won’t rehash the science of how it works (you can find that here). But Dyson has made their little blade-less fan bigger, stronger and more usable.
- More Power: The engine base of the Pedestal is larger than the pedestal by 1 or 2 inches. I presume this added height houses a stronger engine or somehow otherwise gives it more power.
- More Air: The added power is needed to pull air through the larger ring. The result is a wider gust of air that goes farther than its sibling’s. The website claims that the pedestal multiplier multiplies the air it takes in by 18, instead of the 15 times claimed by the desk multiplier.
- More Pizzaz: The smaller Table Air Multipiers are designed fairly well and are more sleek. The new larger Pedestal Multipliers continue with all of the same designs but add a much needed remote into the mix. The remote is designed with a minimalist feel and matches the style and usability of the multiplier itself–stylish and easy to use.
- Bottom line: If you are okay with the idea of spending a good amount money on a sexy gadget (I have a feeling you are), then the larger multiplier is a more justifiable serious machine than it’s younger sibling. It’s a fan that is so sleek that I plan on keeping it out all winter.
- Price: $449, at http://www.dyson.com/fans/
- Setup: The Multiplier is super-easy to put together, with stickers indicating where and how to snap the pieces into each other. See base photo.
