We bought a Dyson fan when we had very small children that liked to stick their fingers into moving fan blades. It works really well for that purpose.
They’d probably only do it once. It builds character, similar to == in JS or PHP.

But isn't using a fan too long in an enclosed room dangerous? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death
No. This is yet another urban myth. "Despite no concrete evidence to support the concept, belief in fan death persists to this day in Korea,[further explanation needed] and also to a lesser extent in Japan.[1][2][3]"

What's being questioned here is whether this product actually works (as air filter, as advertised).
While it may not be the best, it still does the job. My partner smokes indoor when I am not present and there's no smoke odor when I get home. According to the chart on their app, the peak low air quality from several cigarettes goes away within an hour or so. https://imgur.com/a/0qgwT1F
Dyson : Air Products :: Beats : Audio Products Pretty much every Dyson product I've used, from the public bathroom air "blades" to the vacuums, seem like a gimmicky, inferior products with a premium price tag. None of them do their intended job better than older, cheaper products in their category. I know James Dyson is regarded as a genius engineer, but the consumer product company bearing his name seems to be 99% m…
But none of this is something you would notice from a sexy ipod-esque ad. All of this you pick up on after you start using the tool. Then it makes perfect sense why this is such a good vacuum and well worth the premium relative to other offerings on the market.

I love the public bathroom Dyson thingies. They kinda became a standard for me now, love how quickly they dry hands. Way better than paper, towels or weak fans. But yeah, the other stuff is a bit gimmicky.

Unless I'm at the library or a Starbucks, I generally don't wear the kind of clothes in public that one wipes hands on.
I had to read this comment like 3 times to parse it... and I'm still not sure I get it Wiping your hands on your pants when there's towels or something is kind of silly, but how on earth does the article of clothing define if you can wipe your hands on it? Are you wearing vinyl pants or something?
After watching this segment, I immediately bought a 20" box fan, a 20x20 MERV 11 filter, and put one together. It kicks the pants off of air purifiers twice the price and it moves a lot of air through. Best investment ever. CBC was testing CADR, which is one metric among others, but an important one if you're looking to clean a room's air, fast.

I recently got into building DIY air quality sensors. Any kind of smoke hangs around in a room for many hours well past when you can smell it. My house periodically spikes in air pollutants (still looking for the cause but we are moving soon anyways). The one night when PM2.5 spike from safe levels of below 12 ug/m^3 to over 1000 for one night was the worst sleep everyone in our house got. It seems that it was the eq…
But once the sensors indicate that the PM2.5 is gone, everything is fine, right?

Are they? We have a modern unit (with the 2 stage filter), adn they send a notification when you have to buy a new one, for $99 CAD
The company famed for creating bagless vacuums added a 'bag' to a product that doesn't necessarily need it? Dyson's stance on Brexit makes ever more sense... .
Aside from the “empty the canister out and watch all fine dust float back into my house” issue, vacuum bags function as one massive filter. It’s not physically possible to build a filter into a bag less vacuum that approaches the size or capability of the vacuum bag itself.

15 x 7% = 105% Obviously that's not how those numbers work, but you get the idea: it's not necessary to filter all the air at once.
I rounded up to be generous.
2. The article says "15x more", so the right math would be 100x16/17=94.12 .
