Amazon cuts £77 off Dimplex fan that cools in two directions

A Dimplex bladeless fan capable of sending air in two directions at once has dropped to one of its lowest advertised prices as Amazon rolls out its Big Prime Deal offers.

The Dimplex FlexBlade Bladeless Tower Fan is available for £123, down from a stated recommended retail price of £199.99. That leaves Prime members paying £76.99 less than the RRP, representing a saving of 38 per cent.

While many conventional tower fans direct air through a single vertical vent, the Dimplex FlexBlade has two adjustable airflow sections that can be twisted through 180 degrees. Owners can position them together for more concentrated cooling or point them in different directions to cover two parts of a room.

The fan can also be switched between vertical and horizontal positions, making it possible to alter both the direction and height of the airflow. Its unusual design could prove useful in living rooms, bedrooms or home offices where more than one person wants to feel the breeze.

A separate 90-degree oscillation function moves the fan from side to side, distributing air across a wider area rather than keeping it fixed on one spot. Dimplex says the FlexBlade can project airflow up to 20 metres, although the effect felt at that distance will depend on the selected speed and room layout.

There are five fan speeds, ranging from a gentler breeze to a more powerful turbo setting. That gives users scope to reduce the airflow while working, watching television or trying to sleep before increasing it during the hottest part of the day.

Dimplex lists the minimum operating noise at 36dB, placing the bladeless tower fan among the quieter options designed for bedrooms and offices. As with any fan, the perceived noise will increase at higher settings, but its lower speeds should be more suitable for overnight use.

The built-in timer can be set for between one and 10 hours. This means the Dimplex cooling fan can turn itself off after someone falls asleep, or stop running automatically after a set period in an office or living room.

Controls are available on the fan itself and through an included magnetic remote. The remote can be attached directly to the appliance when it is not being used, reducing the likelihood of it disappearing down the side of the sofa just when the temperature starts climbing.

Its bladeless design also avoids exposed spinning fan blades, while the black exterior gives the FlexBlade fan a more contemporary appearance than a traditional pedestal model. Buyers should still check its measurements and intended position, particularly because its width changes depending on how the two sections are arranged.

It is worth remembering that this is an air-circulating fan rather than an air-conditioning unit. It will create a cooling sensation by moving air around the room, but it does not actively extract heat or reduce the air temperature in the same way as a portable air conditioner.

The product had a 4.4-star Amazon rating from 26 customer reviews when the deal was checked. Amazon also reported that more than 100 had been bought during the previous month, although ratings, sales indicators and availability can change.

At £123, this remains more expensive than a basic tower fan, but the flexible vents, dual-direction airflow, turbo mode and magnetic remote offer features not commonly found on budget alternatives. Prime members preparing for warmer nights can check the latest price and availability for the Dimplex FlexBlade on Amazon before the exclusive promotion changes.
