    It's still just a fan with a blower in the base that sends air out of the ring shaped vents. Is the lack of buffeting enough of a plus to warrant many times the price of a conventional similar sized sized fan? It doesn't claim to use less power, be quieter, or cool you better for the premium price.

    If the 5 gallon per second figure is correct, this thing fails. 1 US gallon = 0.133680556 cubic feet, X 60 for cubic feet per minute = about 40 CFM. Those little cheap 6 inch clip on fans have about a 190 CFM rating. I have seen computer case fans that move more air. Hmmmm, I wonder why there is no user reviews for this fan at the linked page?

    But you can't stick your junk in an air conditioner. These bladeless fans are perfect for ancraophiles who have been to the ER due to intimate encounters with traditional fans Smile

    The answer to a question nobody asked: "How can I spend a lot more money on a fan?"

    Needs to run off battery power so I can wear it as a necklace.

    #3. Hilarious! I'd like one with a strap on for my ass and an auto on whenever I pass gas and an auto off 10 seconds later.

    I see these things for 400+ dollars at Best Buy and have to laugh. F@#$ing useless. Almost as bad as paying double for something because it has an Apple logo on it.

    Dyson = gimmick products at premium prices.

    Dyson's target audience is mostly aimed at fools who like to squander money...

    If you want a small fan that is well built and does what it is advertised to do, try one of these:

    With this fan running, your fart will be relocated across the room faster than you can whistle Zipiteedooda out your of your other hole...

    #4 hit the nail right on the head. This is truly the answer to a question nobody asked.
