Every summer I end up looking at Dyson fans. They just look so futuristic.

Then I see the price. Then I read the reviews, which tend to say that they are in many ways worse than regular fans.

And I also remember how few days of the year I actually use a fan.

Not only the fact that they are "bladeless" (that is, blades hidden in the base), but the styling is just really well done.

I wonder if a non-crazy priced much smaller (they're all to big for me) equivalents exist.
