- In this video we clarify some myths around the cooling power of Dyson fans and look at two great ways to stay cool in the heat by increasing the effectiveness of the cooling power of Dyson fans. Of course the techniques work with other fans too. I use the Dyson AM06 and the Dyson Pure Cool Me in this video.

What's interesting about Dyson fans though is that their marketing team seem to have convinced a lot of people that Dyson fans actually cool your room - i.e like an air conditioning unit. Which isn't true. I'm not saying they are doing this deliberately as they actually reply to the reviews to clarify that they don't cool your room when someone makes that point in a review.
However fans can cool 'you' and can actually help cool a room indirectly using two different cooling mechanisms which we explore in this video.
I also touch on the science behind these processes which is quite fascinating. Newton's law of cooling explains the formula behind how things cool down which reveals which things we can change to increase the power of the cooling.
The fun one is how we harness the power of evaporative cooling and that's a great trick to stay cool if you're working in front of a computer all day.
I also reveal one promising technique that I tried but that had a disastrous side effect so don't make the same mistake I made there!

Came here to watch a review on Dyson fans. Found myself swept up in an absolute vortex of information 😂 not disappointed by it though, I enjoyed the listening
Heh thanks! I do have a review of the Pure Cool Me (compared to BP06) if you want that one: ua-cam.com/video/7sQqmG9uvPU/v-deo.html
And one of the most important tips: if the air outside is warmer than the air inside, keep your windows closed. There's no point in sucking warm air into your house/apartment. Also try to cool your home during the night as much as possible since nights are cooler than days. If you manage to cool down the air and structures of your home during the night, it'll take longer for everything to warm up again during the next day.
Good points - thanks for commenting!
I don’t know if that applies to me.
My room is in a converted attic space.
If windows are closed it becomes hot and humid, sometimes even in the middle of winter.
Yes come! Also keep the blinds and curtains down and turn off the lights. Gosh I’ll try anything LOL
@@JayTraversJT that's because the heat from the rest of your house rises to the attic
@@JayTraversJT did you even read his comment, he said if the air outside is warmer than the inside keep your windows closed. You are saying your room is warmer than outside and you want your room to cool down than open your window, it's not rocket science.
Finally not a promo video on Dyson fan
Yeah not many genuine reviews out there are there!
Hello! You might try placing the fan into a cake pan, then place the ice blocks around the fan in the pan. You can put a small block under the fan base to lift it up a bit so it doesn't get wet. You might also try placing ice and water in the cake pan. By doing this, you've essentially created what we call in the states a "swamp cooler".
You might try adding rock salt to the ice water, although it could corrode any electronic parts that aren't sealed.
Great video!
Heard of some people talking about this and was wondering how on earth something without a connection to the outside is supposed to cool a house without swampcooling.
Thought they may have developed some sort of "large scale" laser cooling, but got what was expected.
Exactly my question , thanks for clarifying. I was under the impression it was like a mini air conditioning. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The process you described of wetting your shirt and letting the fan cool you, is actually an age old trick housewives used to use before electricity. They would take their curtains down at night, dip them in a tub of water and ring them just a bit, hang them back up and the air movement through the window will cool the room. No fan needed. Also a squirt bottle to mist your top sheet before sleeping will do the same thing.
Thanks for the info on the kitten and windows. We just got 2.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful!
You could also try to open a window in a hot room and put the Dyson fan a few meters away from it while the fan is blowing air towards the window. It will create low pressure and will allow additional air to move with it. Think it is called Bernoulli's principles. The UA-cam channel "Science made easy" has a short video explaining it called "Filling a Large Bag in One Breath" the principle is the same. It is pretty cool.
Also the video was greatly executed and had great tips!
Very informative for those of us without air conditioners. Is a Dyson fan worth buying? Does it cool better than other tyical fans?
Thanks! In terms of cooling itself - any increased airflow would have the same cooling effect. The advantage of the Dyson fans is the noise, features (very low modes are often useful but missing from cheap fans, remote etc), and then the purification options too.
@@BenVallack Thank you so much for this reply! And thank you again for the cooling tips - those are great.
Thanks for this. I became briefly interested in these dyson fans when someone said they had one and “it really cools the room down”. Looking at the product I couldn’t see how it could possibly do this, and the Dyson website didn’t help - just loads of woolly and misleading claims that all their fans do cooling.
No problem. There can be a room cooling aspect if the outside air is cooler than inside and you use the fan to suck in that cooler air, but then it is just down to cooling you directly. I actually do really rate them (just bought another one!).
It should also be noted that the amplifer models move a lot of air around with very minimal noise so the ability to bring in cooler air as well as the cooling effect on your skin is all very high for the given noise. Then there is the smoothness of the airflow which is actually not to be underestimated!
I put a wet wrung out t-towel in the freezer until it hardens and then place it round the back of my neck. As it unfreezes, the water moistens around the t-shirt. Also wack it on my head sometimes, that and a good fan helps a lot. If I ever get rich, I'll just get air conditioning but until then, it's a t-towel.
Love it!
That's nasty tbh lol
@@syunafrost351 maybe if you got a gross freezer but melt in the summer heat I guess :P
I’m glad to listen to this I was about to buy one. I will not waste my money. Thanks!!
Brilliant video and new subscriber 🙌🏼
I find it nice to have it on next to me. But it’s definitely not worth the money. Thank goodness I got it free when I purchased a vacuum cleaner. Just a stylish fan.
Really? Oh, I see. That sucks. I bet it's far cleaner and less awkwardly shaped than a normal bladed fan though, as the dust doesn't get stuck to the blades.
Lucky! I'm wondering if there's any dupes/similar cheaper alternatives lol.
Answer: they do not.
MVP
Thanks.
I don't know why anyone would expect anything else. Since when do fans cool the air temp in a room? There is no refrigeration system in a fan; evaporative, pressurized or electronic.
I think my Dyson Pure Cool is neat, but it's not that good of a tower fan, it's loud, and isn't a very effective air purifier. Expensive conversation piece and nothing else.
What's dyson always the best
Thank you
Hi, any chance you could let me know what is the device you've got installed by the window side that pulls the blind line and opens it?
Soma smart shades - actually doing a video on them very soon!
Along the line of utilizing evaporation: try the cowboy trick. Get a bandana damp and loop or tie it around your neck with the wind / air blowing on it.
What about putting dry ice around the intake instead?
I like to wet my face and let the air dry them during the hot day too, also feet. Not sure abuse any part of my shirt though, for me it gets uncomfortably cool, like when walking into a cool room after a run.
When simple things become complex due to mathematics. Thanks for the info ! So I have windows strictly on the east side. It's a strangely built condo...anyways, it's blistering here and it's not even hot outside yet, I close the window and curtains during the day and open at night, other than that I don't know what to do without AC, but im struggling sleeping with this heat. Thanks for the info....also....was that uh, you...soaking your shirt 😉
Hey,
I’ve noticed you have a small electric motor that rewinds the blinds at 1:00. I’ve been looking for this everywhere ! Could you tell me where you found it please.
Great video by the way !

Other UA-camrs: "So what do you want me to do next?"
Ben: Here are my recent musings that I ended up researching thoroughly and testing myself.
Heh!
Keyboard videos coming soon! :)
@@BenVallack yay. Also, I really liked this video. I wanna see more of these. Also, your house looks beautiful and full of good vibes
Thanks so much.
It's interesting that your windows do not include a screen/mesh so you can open your windows without getting the bugs/letting the cat out.
I have one without a screen, on purpose just to let the cat out from upstairs, with a safe climb out for him of course!
I’m guilty of no screens....they’re ugly 🤷♀️
@@user-iv6ty3cd5i you’re dumb
@@bruh8268 and you sound like a real intelligent winner yourself 😂
@@user-iv6ty3cd5i So are insect infestation’s
What machine is it, that pull your curtains?
I came here via looking up ways to keep cool this Summer. Last Summer was rough so want ways to keep cool this year. I live in a mid terrace house and my front faces East and my back faces West. So I get the sun at the front in the morning and then at the back in the afternoon. That means the North fan idea won't work unfortunately. I was really hoping the ice packs would work, hehe, oh well.
You could switch around mid day. Use that cooler air on shady side as much as you can!
There are these things called airconditioners that cost less than dyson fans and they actually cool your room down.
I have a hot/cool Dyson and a Vornado. The Dyson is in the garage and only gets used for heating in winter. Vornado wins hands down at cycling the air around the room and keeping things cool.
Yay! Happy to hear somebody else say this I have been buying them for years and Am devoted to Vorando !
I came here for do they keep your room cool and this man be talking about the temperature of the outside bricks
Thanks, I wasted 5 minutes of my time hoping to know if the dyson fan would cool your room. Instead you gave me a video about something unrelated to the product and it's fucntions. Thank you so much.
Lol oh boy, the synchronicities. You led me to my moon lander. You led me to my Dyson. Then you also nearly ruined the former via condensation from the latter
Heh!
I didn't think they could blow cool air like an AC they would need a water pan inside that has to be emptied but it sounded good
its a scam, Dyson fans are not cooling air, they work just any other regular fan
*Great product **Fastly.Cool** if power goes out or just want🤣🤣 some air circulation. 🥰🥰🥰Safe around children. Has different colored lights. USB charge excellent buy*
I have to put my Dyson Pure Cool fan on so high to feel the effect that it sounds so much louder than a regular fan. It’s basically just a glorified air purifier. Clever marketing but totally unnecessary for the purpose of cooling down our rooms.
Yeah the airflow is much less than the AM06 for the noise. Still, if you value the purification, it works well at close range on the desk at low levels. I rarely go more than level 3 and at close range that is effective for all but the hottest UK days!
A compressed gas that is then released and the gas expands will cool down. A fan blade compresses the air (even if just a very, very short period of time) and then it is pushed away and it expands again, cooling down. Is this process so tiny that it doesn't even matter? I would like to do an experiment where we make a circle (think tiny Hadron Collider) and the fan pushes the air around and around and around. The idea being the air will go through the fan, be compressed and then expand and cool off and by the time that air comes back around again (the circle is closed) maybe it's 0.1 degree cooler or more and doing this over and over again could cool off the air. Maybe I'm way off, but it would be a fun experiment.
My gut feeling is that it wouldn’t be enough to offset the heat generated by the motor. You don’t get something for nothing. Interesting though!
Thank you!
Just clean the base intake and put into a airflow to make it move the air
Dude you looked fit af btw 👀
Cheers! I have a great PT to offset my natural inclination not to put the effort in and eat too many carbs!!
@@BenVallack I know that wasn’t the point of the vid or you being vain 😂 just took me by surprise! Inspiring, ok fine…I’ll put down these gummy bears
I think you described an air cooled car, not a standard radiator/coolant system
I guess an air cooled car might be the same idea but I meant the radiator/coolant system, i.e transfer of energy by flowing air over the hot surface (radiator), where the fan is used at slow speeds to increase the amount of airflow and the amount of cooling at a result.
I sleep in a converted attic space and just can’t escape the heat.
Gosh it feels horrible I feel you! Did you find any other ways ?
Get a A/C unit.
Insulation would absolutely make a huge difference. Summer and winter.
smart :D
So my take away from this is; buy a fan that has an actual water tank that you can fill with cold water and ice blocks, for a 1/5th of the price which will actually also cool the room?
This video was all over the place
We got this for the toddler room ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxdzUap46p9ViXhKZf5mK_bXOb89EHxTqq because of the bladeless feature. Actually has a lot more power than I thought it would. Can still feel the air moving well 6 feet away, which is farther than I would expect from a desk fan. My daughter dropped twice and still works. I haven't checked out how long it lasts on a charge yet, but the air output was still good for the few minutes it was unplugged. My daughter also likes the color lights feature, but I don't really care for it and can be annoying to go through all the options before it turns off. Overall, happy with the purchase, especially for the price
Oh dear! Is the dyson not living up to expectations? Sweet dreams 😤🥰😤
My Dyson fan has such an annoying high pitch whine
Agreed, a 20-30€ desk fan is much more tolerable than those 200+€ Dysons. I have no idea why people buy those things, they are horribly over priced. I guess Dyson is to fans what Apple is to smartphones.
How tf do you turn it up
@ben Vallack : Thanks for the video. I dont mind Money. Atleast this is 10% better than traditional fan?
I like really them still- mainly down to the fact you can put them on super low. Also the nose they make it vastly more pleasant than normal fans.
It's a fan it blows air around what do you expect?
This is the point - I think a lot of people expect more than just air movement from these things due to the way they are marketed.
@@BenVallack ok when I see the word fan I expect a fan
This shouldn’t even be a question. It’s in the title when it says “fan.” A fan in a closed room will not cause any form or temperature change. Unless the fan is in an open window exhausting hot air or intaking cold air, all it’ll do is blow a breeze on you that’ll give you the illusion of feeling cooler.
It's not an illusion. As long as your body temperature is warmer than air it will cool your body down by transferring the heat from your body to air faster. It should in theory increase the temperature of air because it moves some energy from objects like your body into air. Air conditioning is of course a lot more effective at cooling your body.
Fans use electricity, anything that uses electricity creates heat.
@@jorislal I stand corrected. You’re completely right, I guess I learn something new everyday.

I don't know why anyone would be under the impression that a fan would cool a room down. A fan simply moves air around. It does cool a person by aiding with evaporative heat transfer.
I thought it always raining in England?!
Almost always!
Absolutely marketed as "cooling" which would imply the same as heating, but opposite. It's BS marketing.
Translation: It's just an overpriced fan that looks good. It's not an AC. It will not cool your home. It will just blow air. If the air in your room is already warm, you're fucked.
4:17 This is not helping me cool down! 😜
😏
Wrap the ice blocks in a farbic. Problem solved.
Why spend £400 on a style fan then wrap a few cheap ice blocs round it that mimic air con (till they get warm) ! You could do this with any cheap fan and get identical results as it's exactly what an air cooler is a fan unit that blows over a tank or container containing water or ice blocs creating an evopouritive effort as the breeze passed over it ,just save ,a couple of hundred and buy a genuine portable air con unit our 2 cost us around £400 between them ,used carefully there not that as exspensive to run as people think ours used for limited periods of times keeps us cool just gave to make sure the pipes are vented properly outside the window to vent the excess warm air and doesn't cause us any energy bill shocks ,we also have a£20 tower fans that we use when it's only moderately warm as like the Dyson they circulates the air in the room but there actually more powerful
Utter expensive rubbish. False advertising it’s just a fan no cooling at all. Save your money. Great review
They are being quite cheeky yeah! Having said that they are very nice fans as long as you know what you’re getting.
@@BenVallack What exactly are you getting? It's a $600 fan that does the same job as a regular $20 one. Actually, even as a fan it's pretty bad. You can only feel the wind if you're directly 1 metre in front of it and it's loud as hell. Also dyson is censoring negative reviews so most people who buy it have no idea that it doesn't actually blow cool air, it's just a regular fan that blows wind that you can feel of you're directly in front of it. This is product is beyond bad, it's a downright scam.
They are overpriced
@@chrisklicek3658 Dyson knows that there are tons of dumb people in this world that they can rip off with their overpriced products.
buy a $600 fan.
now surround it with ice-paks and wear a wet tshirt so it works as advertised.
Well, I put T-shirts in the fridge and wear it during a hot night.
Problems solved.
😂 funny how Dyson is getting away with this kind marketing. My girlfriend has one and we still after discussion. But fan of 25 euro does the same thing, isn't?
Nvm thought you were Ben Affleck. Cheers!
No
Basically Dyson fans just move air around, doing no more cooling than regular fans. Calling them "cooling" is a marketing trick to intentionally confuse buyers into thinking that it also works as AC, so this is on the verge of being a scam. As far as cooling, they are no better than a $15 regular fan. They are a little quieter though, if that's worth extra $600 to you. You can buy an amazing, easy to install, portable AC unit for half that price though, so to me this Dyson fan is just overpriced junk.
Not is true;cyclonic aspiration make air very cold exactly like the air conditioner of a small car but whiteout gas;is true that refresh people and not the chamber
Get a window fan🤌
Two words. Swamp cooling.
Why not install a proper AC?
Just not hot for long enough to justify that in England really!
Some people have crank windows
@@BenVallack you could have bought an airconditioner for half of what you paid for a dyson fan.
When it's 98 degrees Fahrenheit, I don't think your chatter is going to be effective, no matter what Newton says.
Its like almost 40 celcius ugh wht do i doo , its cooler st night but my room is sill the hottest in the house i just wanna moce out at this point but moneyy😣😣 n i m just a kid lmao
summary: NO IT DOES NOT... in fact: Typical 15 euro standing fan provides better air circulation AND is quieter... do NOT waste your time on dyson junk... and if you want Real room temprature decrease, get an air conditioner.
I can't understand anything your saying bro
Let me know if there’s anything I can clarify!
@@BenVallack too intelligent lol
@@BenVallack little words for little brains help lol
Not a single real test, just talking ...
Yes this is a theoretical discussion of some principles of cooling. Here’s a review with lots of tests: ua-cam.com/video/7sQqmG9uvPU/v-deo.html
Such a twat. I hate these type of videos
Off subject video
What subject?
@@BenVallack title
@@TruthDefender Well the answer to the question is really just 'no, but sort of'. The video explains the 'sort of'!
@@BenVallack so generally this fan makes the air circulate inside the room but doesn't cool it just like AC would?
@@TruthDefender correct - but fans are effective at cooling your skin through encouraging evaporation which does actively cool the evaporative surface (you). That is common to all fans of course but the dyson fans have a much more pleasant sound than cheap fans - plus optional purification - which makes them a great product in my eyes!
4:20 didn't your parents ever tell you that wet clothes can give you pneumonia? Actually, a damp shirt in front of a fan can give you pneumonia.
So just buy a regular fan for $20 us dollars.
You really don’t understand what pneumonia is or what it’s caused by and it shows.
Spreading misinformation delete this comment 🤣
Wet clothing may cause mold and mildew issues in the home but you won’t get pneumonia because of that…
