The new Dyson Hot + Cool™ fan heater has dual functionality – it provides fast, even room heating as well as powerful cooling.

Many conventional fan heaters distribute air using spinning blades powered by inefficient motors, so they can’t heat a room quickly. Using Air Multiplier™ technology for long-range heat projection, AM05 is fast to heat the room evenly.AM05 also uses Air Multiplier™ technology to provide powerful cooling. It has been re-engineered so that it draws in 25% more air than its predecessor – up to 28 litres per second. This generates high airflow and air velocity, cooling you effectively.Instead of using blades to propel the air like conventional fan heaters, AM05 uses Air Multiplier™ technology. Air is drawn in at the base of the machine, then accelerated through a 2.5mm aperture. This creates an annular jet of air that passes over an airfoil-shaped ramp, channelling its direction. Surrounding air is drawn into the airflow, amplifying it. And because there are no blades, there’s no buffeting – just an uninterrupted stream of smooth air.AM05 lets you set your target temperature to the degree.

And once that temperature is reached, the machine’s intelligent thermostat maintains it – switching the machine on and off automatically, ensuring it’s only working when heating is necessary. This prevents overheating and also saves energy.DYSON helpline: 0800 298 0298. Air Multiplier technologyDyson fan heaters use Air Multiplier technology to create a powerful stream of uninterrupted airflow. Air is accelerated through an annular aperture, creating a high-velocity jet of air. This passes over an airfoil-shaped ramp, channelling its direction and creating areas of low pressure behind and around the fan. The change in pressure forces surrounding air to be drawn into the airflow, resulting in a powerful stream of smooth cooling air.Effective all year roundThe Dyson Hot + Cool fan heater heats rooms quickly and evenly. And in warmer weather, it cools you effectively. Using Air Multiplier technology to amplify surrounding air, AM05 projects heat further than conventional fan heaters.

It heats the whole room - quickly and evenly. In cooling mode, the Dyson Hot+Cool fan heater keeps you cool with powerful airflow. With Air Multiplier technology, AM05 draws in up to 28 litres of air per second. It's effective all year round, so you'll never need to put it away.Precise, energy efficient heatingIn heating mode, the intelligent thermostat monitors the room to reach and maintain the target temperature - no wasted energy. AM05 uses an intelligent thermostat to maintain your target temperature. Once your room is at the set temperature, AM05 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.Energy EfficientAM05 uses approximately 30% less energy to heat the whole room than other fan heaters. And in summer, it can lower energy bills by up to 20% when it's used with air conditioning.Remote controlWith settings to adjust oscillation, temperature and airflow.
