Guys:

The question with any product that is made for USA consumer consumption is:  Will it sell in Peoria?  This one won't sell in fantasy land in Peoria.  Not for $300.  It's like the Air Blade.  At $1400, its 2X and more than the price of the best hand drier on the market today.  After failing miserably with the commercial market, dyson tried the home consumprtion market.  No luck there either.  In fact worse results than the commercial market.  This Air Multiplier is no different than the Air Blade.  No different than the contra rotating washer.  The ball barrow.  And the ball dysons.  You can't invent for the sake of invention and then force consumers to like it and buy it.  Doesn't work that way in Peoria.

HI DIB:

I excerpted this from your link above:

Not all Dyson products have proven as big a success with consumers – the Contrarotator washing machine being a case in point – but there's no denying that when Dyson takes on a product market you're sure to see something innovative, and the Air Multiplier is no exception. 

Sounds like my post above.  Will it sell in Peoria????

This appears to be a variant of Jet Venturi fans that have been around for some time.
Difference is the venturi outlet is along the rim of a circle, rather than a tube within the center of a cylinder.

Some articles briefly mention a turbine inside the base provides the air for the venturi.  A turbine is a specialized type of fan, so this is not really a "fanless" device.

What's not been mentioned is if the base turbine has an air filter. 
If not, dust and other junk will build up inside the fan base and ring, requiring a blow out every so often with an air hose or "cans o' air" from your local store.
I'm assuming for $300 Dyson will include a filter, but assumptions can be wrong.

Hi Carmine, your experience differs to my own on the AirBlades - I've been surprised at the variety of places that have them installed; they're more popular than I thought they'd be. At the margins involved and the publicity it gives the Dyson brand, it's proved a success in many ways.

Vacomatic,

 Awhile back I looked up about this bladeless fan and found as you the same thing. What I also found out is there is a difference in the American language and British. We say one thing  and to the British it means another  tho we speak and write English. What I saw in the fan diagram was a blade system tho in UK it is called  bladeless.The system sound great  tho. Will wait to see what it looks like in real life.

I recently read the same from a UK online magazine.  That is, they did not seem to think the Airblade would sell, and now they're all around (the UK).

Guys:

How do you know these were bought and sold?  Or gifted in the hopes to spark sales?  These Air Blades don't stay in new condition in the boxes forever.  They have a limited shelf.  Parts deteriorate if stagnated after 3-4 years.  They would have to be re-opened and re-inspected to ensure product worthiness.  These driers don't stay new in the boxes forever.
