My Ultimate Yuppie Want - a Dyson Air Multiplier

When people get higher earning power, they buy certain things to mark those milestones: a nicer car, a house, that LV bag... the usual stuff.

Not me - what I want is a Dyson bladeless fan - or as they call it, the Air Multiplier. Never mind that you could buy at least about 20 regular bladed desktop fans (assuming the average price is RM50) with the money spent on one of these, but it's cool to look at.


The Air Multiplier line comes in all these designs: the table fan (10 and 12 inches), a tower fan and a pedestal fan.


The Air Multiplier works like a reverse vacuum....



It's safety is also widely touted since it has no blades, but you learn a thing or two with the regular desk fan, you know?

Yes, it's basically an overpriced appliance and a frivolous want, so sue me. But I would like to have one because of the smaller footprint than my current desk fan. I don't know about anyone else, but this would be the one thing I hope to see the Chinese knockoffs since only the uber rich with their higher levels of disposable income can afford these things.

PS. I also found out that Dyson products are put together, and have offices in Johor Bahru - how's that for Made in Malaysia?
