Dyson Hot+Cool AM09 Tower Bladeless Fan Heater - White/Silver (Renewed)

I don't know if Dyson still sells these refurbished units but I bought on on 11/11/2016, today is 11/11/2018 and for the first time this year, I've had to pull this heater out. Mine was in better shape than some of the others I've seen on here. The only real "damage" to the outside is one little 3 inch scratch on the back of it. I really didn't know if we needed one of these. Our house has dual heat pumps (one gas, the other electric) but I watched too many remodel your house shows and had built an office into the long excess space in our living room. The problem with that? The office sits directly across the hall from the front door, we have two dogs and two kids, the kids are always running outside, dogs run out to use the bathroom and we live in an area that has rough winters. Even today, 11/11, the high was 30, the low tonight is going to be 16. Still, I'm not a person that gets cold but my wife, the kids, the dogs and my senior mom who lives with us are all those beings that hear "32 degrees" and act like we're living inside a glacier.This heater was bought solely for the office. It does a perfect job of keeping the room as warm if not warmer than the rest of the house. To give you an idea of how the room's temperature varies, on average, in cold months, it's 3-5 degrees cooler than the other rooms. Part of the reason is there is only one heat vent in the room and the entrance way of the house connects to it so that's roughly 11x25 that the one vent is trying to heat. It would make sense to put another vent in but the room is at the mid-point of the house and the roof on the outside is raised. Under the floor is a basement where the heating duct is. This one vent is the only one in this area of the house. Adding another is just going to take heat away from this one. That made buying this refurbished heater a very good deal. Even if we had to buy a new one, it would be cheaper than busting out cinder to put another vent. The funniest part is we have a little dog that has very little fur, we thought he was a dachshund/pekingese mix but he's a pug/beagle or puggle. He stays in the office when this heater is on. Just using basic calculations, it costs about $4 more per month on electricity, to set this on a timer to run 30 minutes every 3 hours.I like it so much that we might still buy another one to put in our basement. I did put heat vents down there but because there are only two walls it's a big, open area. We only use section of the basement for daily use (kids have games down there, pool table, and some exercise equipment). I'll probably put a wall up to close that section off some and get another one of these heaters do go in the office and move this one down to the basement. The only complaint I've had with it is it will shut itself off. Last winter, I remember it being below zero one day and we all came in from work/school and turned it on. About 10 minutes later, it shut off. It turned back on with the remote but I don't know it's some kind of overheating protection or if it just decided I should be punished for living in such a cold area. Either way, I decided to write this update because I was back here checking to see if they had any of the refurbished models left. I would estimate we've used it 180 days x 2 hours per day without any other problems. There is a thermometer in the office and the temperature goes up 4-5 degrees in 30 minutes on 74 (keep the house's thermostats set on 71). It's one of my favorite purchases we've made from Amazon.

Beat the Texas heat with Dyson Hot+Cool Fan. Several settings adjust to meet all needs.

We have solar so I don't feel guilty using electricity for my Dyson. It heats up the family room quickly and turns off when it has reached the desired temperature. The remote is easy to use. This is a refurbished item but you can't tell at all.

Blows a small amount of cold air when “not running” but in standby mode. Heater broke after 1 cold season, Dyson replaced it, that unit broke after a shorter use time, Dyson wont replace.I would rather spend 30-40 on a cheap heater and throw it away each year than ever buy a Dyson again. It was absolutely the worst appliance purchase I have ever made, Dyson wont honor their product.

The fan seems to be good, but there is a big difference between refurbished and tossed/kicked/scratched. I don't own any item old or new that has been treated as badly as the item I received. Fan has chips and scratches and the remote looks like it has been playing with sandpaper. I wonder who would do this to their $400 fan? If I were dyson this would not have been a warranty case for the previous owner, this is not normal wear and tear.

We bought this for emergencies when the gas heat dies. As such, we expect to use it maybe once a year or so, and otherwise it will live in the back of some cupboard. The machine has a remote which controls the temp and direction. The on-unit buttons of the previous generation have disappeared. The remote attaches to the unit with a not-very-strong magnet. If you lose it, you're stuck. If the battery dies while it's in the cupboard, you're stuck. I recommend you try to find the previous generation unit. Addition of the remote was not a good idea for the emergency users like me.

love love love!!! this fan is absolutely amazing! i was a little worried about how it would look when i got it because some of the photos on these reviews looked pretty bad. but i saw it on sale on prime day for about $250 off of what a brand new one would be so i figured what the heck! there are a couple dings and scuffs on it but they are hardly noticable. this fan works great, looks nice, and i got it for a great deal. i am extremely happy with this purchase!!

I purchased a refurbished unit for half off ($200 plus tax) and am generally pleased with it considering the savings but wish the refurbishment were better.Unlike refurbished products from most other manufacturers in my experience, this refurbished unit has clearly been heavily used. It was labeled "B grade". There were several scuffs around the outside, many of which I was able to scrub away, and some scratches and paint chips too. Fortunately they weren't significant and a silver marker or touch-up paint will help conceal the chips.The fan and heater appear to work well although I am skeptical that the inner workings may have received the same beatings by the original owner and lack of care during refurbishment as the outer casing. I'm hanging onto my receipt but am cautiously optimistic the fan and heater won't break.I do really like the features of the fan. I found the remote easy to learn and use: you can adjust the fan strength, adjust the heater's temperature, set a timer, and make the fan oscillate. There's also an option to widen or focus the airflow that most of the other Dyson fans don't have. The heater works well as a space heater but it emits a slightly burnt smell that other reviewers have talked about. It also doesn't get as hot as a ceramic space heater on max.Since I bought this unit for $200 and tax and learned from the other reviews that it could come scuffed or worse, I'm generally pleased with how my purchase turned out. It is a bit of a lottery though and I feel lucky the wear on my unit is cosmetic and not too significant.
