Sir James Dyson’s genius has long been tied to domestic convenience. Forget advancing the UK as a leader in the new frontiers of space or green technology. For us Brits, we’ll have to settle for our best engineering mind to come up with state of the art— if occasionally overpriced — vacuums, hairdryers and fans.
Good timing then, as we enjoy or endure the start of a sweltering summer, for Dyson to release its latest game-changing product: the Dyson Cool CF1 fan. It’s another excellently conceived and decidedly futuristic model. Effective and discreet, at 55cm in height and weighing just 1.8kg, it’s one of the smallest and lightest Dyson fans — making it the company’s first truly portable air-conditioning product.
With its signature bladeless technology, which disperses cool air through a hollow circular frame, the CF1 is more energy efficient and eco-friendly than regular fans, using a tiny 30 watts of maximum power.
It’s quiet too, with an impressive 23 dB to 38 dB range across the various power settings (23 dB is the equivalent noise level of leaves falling). The new LCD screen feature allows you to choose from 10 speed settings and four oscillation angles (0°, 15°, 40°, and 70°).
The CF1 shows that less is often more. It was very straightforward to set up and came in just two parts, which easily screw together. After plugging into the mains you’re good to go, and can control the device with a magnetised remote that sticks to the side of the fan.
As always, the design has their signature slick minimalism that would complement any modern home. Dyson and quality are now synonymous terms in the vacuum and fan market, but the high prices have always been an issue. With the CF1, you have that expected quality, but coming in at a reasonable £249, it’s also the brand’s cheapest model yet.
