It’s that time of the year – lobster-red Brits are out in force in vest tops and cut-offs galore whilst foreign newcomers to our shores walk around in bemusement with scarves and three layers.
But more fool them – it’s time to embrace the rare sun that we have and, of course, keep cool while doing so. To their credit, Dyson have designed a funky product that does just that – showing that contemporary portable air conditioning is alive and well. 
The brand, renowned for their vacuum cleaners, launched a series of bladeless fans several months ago to provide a greener option in the air conditioning sector and a safer version of the traditional fan. It claims its specially developed technology generates a smooth, uninterrupted airflow without the buffeting of blade fans.
The bladeless Dyson air conditioning units have now become one of the UK’s hot sellers alongside barbecues and sun tan lotion.
With over 100 patents pending, the technology inside Dyson’s bladeless fans works by sucking up to 33 litres of air into the cyclone accelerator, in a similar way to a jet-engine or a turbo-charger in a car.
M&S reported a 300% surge in sales of the product as temperatures soared whilst a YouTube video showing the fan’s features has been inundated by fascinated fans, gaining over half a million hits.
