Compare Dyson Air Multiplier Cooling and Heating Fans: AM06, AM07 or AM09?

Dyson cooling and heating tower fans are in a class by themselves. Yes, they are more expensive than other traditional tower fans, but with their remarkable space age style and construction, their rich feature set that ensures energy efficiency and absolute safety, and their extreme ease to operate and clean, they are worth every cent to the discriminating buyer.

Dyson makes two types of tower fans, those that are used only for cooling (Cool Only Type) and those that can be used year round for both cooling and heating (Hot+Cool Type). Both type of fans make use of the Dyson Air Multiplier Technology to amplify surrounding air  to produce powerful airflow. No blades are used. All you feel is an uninterrupted stream of smooth air that is either cool or hot depending on whether the fan is used for cooling or heating, and  the airflow velocity can be precisely adjusted.

When Dyson Hot+Cool  type fans are used in heating mode, two ceramic plates heat the air as it is projected into the room. These plates don't burn dust and therefore do not produce any bothersome and worrying burning smell. In addition, these heating fans are equipped with an intelligent thermostat that allows setting the temperature to the degree and maintains the room at the desired temperature without wasting any energy.  

When Dyson fans are used in cooling mode, though they are not A/C units, they do an excellent job moving air to make the room feel cooler. Other fan heaters claim also to be cooling fans as well, but many have low airflow and air velocity, so in reality they are not! The Dyson Hot+Cool fans draw in up to 7 gallons of air per second, generating high airflow and air velocity, for improved personal cooling.   


Here are some of the additional advantages of the Dyson Cool and Hot+Cool fans:
  • They are energy  efficient: With smoother airflow through the machine, less energy is required to channel the air. The energy efficient motor can run slower while enabling the same powerful airflow.  The sleep-timer further reduces energy wastage by ensuring the fan switches off automatically when it’s not needed. 
  • They are very safe and a breeze to clean: The machine cuts out automatically if it's tipped over and there are no visible heating elements or blades. With no fast-spinning blades and no awkward  grilles, Dyson fans are also very easy to clean. They can be cleaned with a single wipe of a  cloth.
  • At low and medium speeds, they are reasonably quiet : They use streamlined air channels for reduced airflow turbulence making them quieter than most other type of fans. They also have  an acoustically engineered motor bucket to reduce vibration and therefore noise.

This article will compare Dyson AM06, Dyson AM07 and Dyson AM09 bladeless tower fans. These were the most popular among Amazon customers who have bought them and tested them at the time this article was written.

Note that AM06 and AM07 are strictly cooling fans, while AM09 is both a cooling fan and a heater, and that at the time this article was written these tower fans had received excellent reviews from most Amazon buyers (an average of at least 4 stars each out of 5 stars!).

Note also that, at the end of this article, we will also present the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link Air Purifier that also purifies the air while cooling it or heating it.

Comparing the Selected Dyson Fans

The following pictures show the three Dyson Air Multiplier fans to be compared below. As mentioned above, AM06 and AM07 are strictly cooling fans, while AM09 is a cooling fan and also a heater. When you click these images, you will be given a choice of additional colors.

The following table compares the various features offered by these bladeless Dyson tower fans (please read the table notes that follow for a better understanding of the features offered):

Table Notes 1-9 Explained:

Note 1:
Air Multiplier technology is used to amplify surrounding air to enable long-range heat projection and to produce powerful airflow. No blades are used. All you feel is an uninterrupted stream of smooth air that is either cool or hot depending on whether the fan is used for cooling or heating. 

Note 2:
All three fans come with a remote-control unit that allows the invocation of most of the functions built in these fans.

Note 3:
There are 10 levels of air flow (or speed) that can be invoked.  With AM09, this function can only be accessible from the remote-control device.
AM06 and AM07 allow invocation of this function both from the remote-control device and from the fan itself.

Note 4:
Being also a heater fan, AM09 allows exact temperature setting from 33° F  to  99° F using the remote control device.  It uses an intelligent thermostat to maintain the selected temperature. Once your room is at the set temperature, the heater will switch itself off. It will then switch on and off intermittently to keep the room at your target temperature. This helps to save energy and prevents the room from overheating.
In the heater mode, two ceramic plates heat the air as it is projected into the room.  These plates don't burn dust and therefore do not produce any worrying burning smell.  

Note that with AM06 and AM07 cooling fans and when AM09 is used in cooling mode, all three fans do an excellent job moving air to make the room feel cooler.

Note 5:
The AM09 fan heater uses the Dyson Jet Focus technology: 
  •  In focused mode, warm air is accelerated through a 2.5mm aperture and over an airfoil shaped ramp. It is redirected by the focus ramp, which projects a powerful stream of warm air towards you. 
  • In diffused mode, a powerful jet of air is released from the back aperture. As the two jets meet, air is guided over a ramp at a 45-degree angle, releasing a wide stream of powerful airflow.
Note that Jet Focus technology is only available on AM09 and it can only be invoked from the remote-control device.

Note 6:
Oscillation control allows the airflow to be directed around the room. With AM06, AM07, and AM09, this function is only accessible using the remote-control device. 

Note 7:
Each of these three fans can be tilted to direct airflow. The fan can pivot on its own center of gravity, staying put without clamping. Note also that for safety reasons the motor in these fans cuts out automatically if the fan is tipped over. And since there are no fast-spinning blades or visible heating elements these fans are extremely safe.

Note 8:
AM06, AM07 and AM09 fans can be programmed to turn off after pre-set intervals ranging from 15 minutes to 9 hours.
​Note that the sleep timer of AM06, AM07 and AM09 is accessed using the remote-control device.

Note 9:
The Amazon prices shown were in effect at the time this article was written and may have changed. For exact prices, please refer to the Amazon products section below.  Note that the Amazon price often includes a generous discount to the list price.  If a discount exists, both the Amazon price and the list price will be displayed when you click the Amazon product link images below.

So which Dyson Air Multiplier Fan is best for you?

All three fans considered above come with the features summarized in the introduction. They all use the Dyson  Air Multiplier technology, offer high-end looks, and are very functional and  very easy to operate. They are also energy efficient, easy to clean, and safe.   
  • ​If what you need is just a cooling desk fan or cooling floor fan, you might want to consider either AM06 (desk fan) or AM07 (floor fan). Note that both fans come with the same feature set  described in the feature comparison table above.  All functions  except for power on/off  are only available from the remote control device.
  • If you need a year round fan for both cooling and heating, you might want to consider the Dyson AM09. Note that with AM09 the power on/off is available on the fan itself while the rest of the functions are accessible from the remote control device.
