I am a fan of fans.  There are so many out there - ceiling, floor, tabletop, paper, etc. etc.  

 

It is never a question of whether or not you can find a fan but one of what type do you want.  No matter how low we set the air conditioning, it has trouble completely cooling the second floor.  The ceiling fan in the bedroom has been our sleep salvation.  We spend most of our time n the family room, the floor fan was a summer staple but then we discovered the Dyson bladelss fan.  We bought 2!!!!  These little beauties are so efficient and quiet.  There are no blades so no noise.  The volume of air can be adjusted and the cooling effect is terrific.  If you are looking for a fan that will do the job and cost is not a concern, get out a buy one of these just for the fun, novelty and for the real cooling effect.  

Now, if you house is for sale take those fans and pack them away until after the house is sold.  Not everyone thinks that fans are decorating attractions.  In fact, some people hate ceiling fans.  Who are those people?  Still, to make a sale, a few warm nights might be in order.

As a final note:  Be energy efficient.  Fans are not air conditioners.  If you are not in the room and in range of the fan, turn it off.  The cooling effect is evaporation.  If you aren't there to be evaporated (LOL) save your money.

Carol:  I think the designer made it blue in the interior to trick you into thinking cool.  LLLLOOOOLLLL

I've heard of them, but never actually tried one.  Always nice to hear a personal recommendation.  We don't have central air in the new home, so I just may need one!

Good advice Valerie about packing the fans away while selling.  I am going to check out these Dyson fans too.

Valerie, If it's quiet, Liz won't want it.  She uses a fan for the white noise to sleep every night.  I think the one she has now is capable of generating a Cat 5 hurricane :)   Bill

Valerie - I was wondering if those fans actually did their job.  I absolutely LOVE the design!

Sharon:  New Hampshire, like Ontario, can get very warm in the summer.  

Rene:  Buyers, seeing fans all over the house, think there is something wrong with the air conditioning when, in our case, it is just to reduce the cost of cooling the house. 

Bill:  Yikes!!!!  Well, at least you know the source of the noise and it isn't the neighbours.

Vern:  They are amazing - no blades but lots of wind.

I am a big fan of my big fan.  It stands about three feet tall, and takes care of me in the garage, but this sounds cool, too!  LOL

I use a fan in the master all summer. Part of the benefit is the white noise LOL. I guess I don't need a Dyson then ;)

We don't have too many hot days where I live, but when we do, our ceiing fans are such life savers. But this particular bladeless fun has intrigued me and I wondered how it works. It deserves a spot at the Museum of Modern Art.

Valerie, I am a FAN too! So cool looking...I never saw one before. And I favor a fan more than AC, believe it or not. I hope they sell it here.

Valerie-I was JUST thinking about this particular fan...they Dyson stuff looks so cool, but in my neighborhood, I actually seen them being thrown away (the vaccumns) all the time, so it's made me wonder about the functionality, after the novelty wears off, but good to know...can I check in with you in Sept., just to see how it's fared over the summer?

Ron:  In the garage?  Why not?

Janice:  I have the ceiling fan in the bedroom to keep the air moving. 

Pacita:  It is a very unique design.  The blue is just a bit annoying. I would get one that is all grey now. 

Ellen:  I bet you have found the fan at your local hardware store.  They are getting very popular.

Marie:  I have one on an end table in the family room and, so far, it is performing above expectations.  Get back to me in the fall, by all means.

Al and Peggy.  I might even save money by turning off the fans when no one is in the room(s).

Gita:  I hope you found the fan.  It is a bit of a conversation piece when people are visiting.
