Dyson Air Multiplier Fans

I purchased a couple Dyson 10 Inch "Air Multiplier" White Fans from Amazon a while back. Yes I bought a couple (2) of them since I liked it so much and they were on sale. But since it was still winter at the time, I never got the chance to open it.

Now that it has warmed up a bit, I can finally *think* about opening the box without feeling cold. When I did get to open it, there was thick shrink wrap around it. When I opened it, I discovered that the black tape with the 'dyson' logo on it was actually cut open. The unit inside looks mint condition so I'll grudgingly let it pass.

Here is what it looks like on the back:

Opened the lid:

Removed the top cardboard:

Removed the outer plastic ring:

The ring is all plastic! How the heck did they get the air to travel around the ring evenly? I really like this company and pretty much everything they make looks so awesome.

Here is a closer look at the bottom of the plastic ring:

 

The base still in the box:

The base removed from the box:

From reading all the material on these fans and vacuum cleaners etc, they really like to use things called a brush-less motor. These are different than regular motors, will spin faster, and lasts longer. The bad part is that it costs more to run because the electronics needs to be smarter in order to even make these new motors spin.

All the tiny holes on the side are actually intake for the air. I just *know* its all going to get clogged with dust. Hopefully it will be easy to clean. Well.. of course it will be! Its a Dyson, no worries!

Here you see the top of the base where the air comes out:

And finally, all it took was alignment of the top and bottom and a twist of the top portion to the left to lock the top to the bottom.

Interestingly, while I was back in Hong Kong not long ago, I was in the market for this very exact model of Dyson fans. Walking the streets, there were plenty of street vendors selling knock offs of this exact fan at what amounts to be about $30USD. The led on/off button didn't look quite right and the power cord was usually for Hong Kong power. I am almost certain they didn't use the expensive nice motors Dyson uses. However, at only around 1/5 the cost, most probably would just bear with the cheap knock off. I didn't take the bait so I don't have any pics to show.
  

Ahhh... so nice and pretty. It also gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that this is the real deal and not some cheap knock off.

Here is one last video of it working:
