Dyson Hot + Cool Jet Focus AM09 Fan Heater, Black/Nickel

I have three of these and about to purchase one more. Keep one in my office at work since they turn the heat off at 5 pm and weekends. Will heat my office up from 62 degrees to 72 degrees in about 15 minutes. I like the swivel motion since this spreads the warm area throughout the room. Best results are when the heater is pointed away from you, not directly on you. It even shuts off when the desired temperature is reached and turns on again when it drops. The remote is wonderful since you can set the machine anywhere in a room and control it from where you are sitting. The remote can be stored by attaching to the top of the machine (magnet) but in most rooms I keep the remote in my desk drawer or on a bed stand. It is very quiet. Made well. One of them has gone through three winters and in the summer it is a great way to afford turning on the A/C since a cool breeze can be delivered instead of heat. What can I say other than it is the best fan or heater I have ever owned. Dyson makes quality products. Sure they are expensive but wait for sales when they will be $100 or more off the standard price either here or Best Buy. You will not be disappointed. Rate: A+

Let's face it - the design of this heater is uber sexy and you're paying for it - but you are also paying for a quality product that does just what it says it will do. The major advantage is a design which provides excellent heat without the fear of setting everything around your space heater on fire. It is also a unit that can be touched accidentally and will not see you (or your children or pets) walking away with scorched fingers, paws or fur. The remote is intuitive and easy to use and the ability to control the dynamics of the airflow (focused narrow output or wide spread of air) is clever and very practical. I live in an older brick building with an open floor plan, old windows and less than optimal insulation. My home is heated by water source heat pumps (essentially a fancy name for an in-ceiling air conditioner that uses the compression of refrigerant to provide heat as well as cooling). These units are efficient and heat steadily, but not near at the rate of other heating devices such as a gas forced hot air furnace or baseboard radiant heating. I use the Dyson to fill in the gaps as my heat pumps bring the air mass of the house up to temp. Because the unit can tilt its head up or down (this is a position set manually), you can wash air across a cold floor or push air upward if need be. For maximum effect, set the fan to oscillate with a wide spread of the air stream...you will feel the ambient temperature of your room increase rapidly. The unit can be set for a certain room temperature (obviously this works best in an enclosed room vs. an open space) and will cycle on and off as the temperature is achieved. The fan is relatively quiet, even at high speed. I've read complaints about fan noise but I suspect this is coming from some very PICKY people...this is among the quietest fans or space heaters I've ever come across. The whole thing is pretty much set it and forget it and within no time it does exactly what it sets out to do.

This heater is crazy expensive. It is 10x more expensive than my other space heater at home. So is it 10x better? I have been using this for a few weeks and my first impression is....yes! I am so surprised. The cheap heater I have at home tends to blow heat that is too hot. I keep it close by because it's freezing in the mornings, and within 5 minutes I have to face it the other way or else turn it off, and then of course, it gets too cold, so I have to reach over and turn it back on, over and over again. The dyson somehow mysteriously solves this problem. I place it right next to my feetI and it just feels pleasantly warm all the time. It does not get too hot. It turns off when it reaches the preset temperature, and keeps the room just right. It is so comfortable and my legs, directly in front of the heater, do not get all dry and itchy like they do with the cheap heater. The remote is useful and it sticks by magnet to the top of the heater when not in use, so you won't lose it. I am so pleasantly surprised. This thing is a winner!Edit: I actually do have one complaint...the on switch is a tiny red light at the base of the heater that is hard to see. Since the heater stops blowing when it reaches the preset temperature, if it is not currently blowing, sometimes I do not notice it is still on when I walk away. I have accidentally left it on all day. When I came back into the room, the room was pleasantly warm, just right, not too hot, and nothing was burning or overheating, which is GOOD. But I would have preferred to save energy (and peace of mind) and turned it off when I was done with it. So you just to remember that quiet thing is still on and turn it off yourself, knowing that is is sometimes hard to see that it is still on.
