Love it - if you think spending nearly £200 on a fan is exorbitant think again. As a night-shift worker I wanted something to keep the air flowing whilst the windows were shut so that I can sleep in hot weather; equally I needed something quieter than the average bladed fan, so after doing some research came upon this product. On settings 1-5 the fan is exceptionally quiet, even more so if you put something sound-deadening under the motor located in the base of the unit. On settings 6 and above the fan is more noisy, but still less so than a standard bladed fan. One reason I cannot sleep with a bladed-fan on is the vibration that gets transmitted through the fan's use, on this fan there is limited vibration at the lower speeds, but again this can be diminished by placing something like a towel below the fan to absorb the vibration. I found it transmitted more vibration when on oscillation than on still. The fan is extremely well designed although the display is very bright when used at night, and cannot be easily covered as that is also the air inlet for the device, however a piece of cardboard may well get stuck over it in the future. The display is easy to read and understand. The fan is operated by remote control and this is a sleek design too, and magnetised so that it can be stored on top of the fan when not in use. The controls are self-explanatory and the timer works well. Overall highly recommended and I would chose this seller again as the refurbished product is akin to brand new.Read full review

For this amount of money I was expecting a lot more. It is less powerful that the £30 fan I was replacing and isn't all that much quiter. The power cable is short and it doesn't tilt very much making it extremely hard to position effectively at night time. The display is too bright for night time use and you can't adjust the power level on the unit - only with the remote control. Given Dyson's reputation for design I would say that it looks great but is quite poorly designed in almost every other respect.

The product has mostly excellent design characteristics and is easy to use. It sits well on a table next to the window and easily fills the room with a draught of air on one of the lowest settings. Parking the remote by magnetism is a good touch. My only reservations: • The manual discourages using an extension lead, but the power lead supplied is only 1.5m, so an extension lead is essential – and works fine as far as I can see. • The buttons on the remote are too small for an oldie like me, and impossible to see in the dark.

Well designed product, surprisingly quiet even on full blast. The remote is a really useful feature and magnetically clips to the top of the fan when not being used, so you’re unlikely to lose it. I purchased mine through the official Dyson refurbishment site and got it at a good discount to normal RRP. The fan arrived in a sturdy plain, (rather than branded) box.

Ordered as a refurb arrived brand new sealed in box with 2 year warranty, £60.00 saving. Fan on high has an aircraft hum that I do not find any problem going to sleep with. I am happy with the fan but did expect it to be a little more powerful, but then I am comparing it to the Dyson floor fan so my hopes were probably a little to unrealistic. Would I buy another?! YES.
