Tower of power

Dyson is following up last year's bladeless desktop fan, the AM01, with two taller models: a tower and pedestal fan.

The new tower fan, the AM02, stands 1 metre tall, but is only 19cm wide. Like the first Air Multiplier, the new models have an impeller in the base that sucks air in and pushes it through a thin gap, or annulus, around the fan's circumference.

Stay tuned

Both the tower fan (above) and pedestal fan will be available later in the year. Pricing and delivery dates have yet to be released.

Put it on a pedestal

The pedestal fan, dubbed AM03, can be moved up and down. So, depending on your preference, the AM03 stands between 1.2m and 1.4m tall.

Suck it up

Last year's AM01 desktop fan had a 40W brushless motor, the new taller models will feature a 65W motor. The new models can have their speed and oscillation adjusted on the unit itself or via a remote.
