Hipster fan (meaning it costs too much for what it's worth) that makes too much noise. No.

It's a fan?

>>2717
Yep

http://www.dyson.com/fans/


I personally wouldn't buy one since the only reason I even have a fan is to provide background noise so I can sleep. I don't need some future space fan to do that

>>2718

It's the exact opposite to me, I love the wind but the damn noise won't let me sleep.

I actually saw one of these at the meijers where I live. I sorta noticed that no buffeting thing they mentioned, but I really don't care. a fan is a fan. if it moves air i'm happy.

even though I know this wouldn't happen I can't shake the feeling that if something went in the out end of the fan it'd explode for some reason.

Do people actually care enough about how their fan works? A fan is a fan is a fan. I don't want to pay money for some hipster fan that'll come out of 'fashion' within a few years.

wow, so that's what that thing was?
yeah sure, it seems really cool.
>$299.99
...not that cool.

Watch the "Research balloon" video on Dyson's website. That is as good a reason as any to buy one.

>>2734
...to shoot balloons?

I'd like to think there are much cheaper ways of moving balloons from point a to point b then to set up rows with dozens of these things costing thousands of dollars.

Wasteful it may be, but that was damn entertaining to watch.

I wish to have these fans in my house, along with those windows that turn opaque when you press a button, roombas, sex robots and any other impractical piece of technology that may have once been featured in a Wired article. And at the end of the day, I will look at all of the useless objects that I have placed in my home and think "this must be what they call the American dream!"

I will then go on to die in an electrical fire caused by wiring useless electronic goods into useless outlets; all connected to an even more useless breaker. And I won't regret a thing.

I have one of these fans.

They're very noisy. (´･ω･`)

>>2779
Aren't they supposed to be quiet?

>>2780

The fan in them is a lot smaller, so they have to spin a lot faster.

No. Also I don't use a laptop for taking notes, just a pad and pen. If things were up to me, I wouldn't even have a fridge, I'd have a box covered in water to keep food cool using evaporative cooling, and I would live in a van. Cheap phillistines unite!

Can you still die if you leave these on overnight like with regular fans? It looks like it might not chop up oxygen molecules like other fans.

>>2785
I swear to god, that is the by far the most retarded urban legend I have ever heard of. Goddamn Koreans.

I saw one of these recently at a store. It was probably expensive..

>>2813
They're pretty expensive compared to normal fans, and since they both accomplish the same thing it's probably not worth it

>>2785
The fuck are you talking about?

My fans are constantly running and I'm still alive.

Dammit Korea.
