If I didn’t already have this heater and fan (and others, we’ll get to that), this would be a Black Friday deal I snap up immediately. My beloved Dyson AM09 heater and fan is back on sale for $300 right now thanks to Black Friday. We last saw it drop this low during October Prime Day; before that, the last time it was so cheap was in March.
My love for the AM09 is well documented. I picked it up over five years ago for $280 on super-sale at QVC. I’ll get into what I love about this fan in a moment, but I have to point out that the AM09 has been a staple in Dyson’s lineup for at least five years at this point. To my knowledge, this particular model hasn’t been changed or upgraded since I bought it. That’s impressive, particularly in the world of tech in which any device more than two years old is probably obsolete in some way, shape or form. I took the plunge and bought the AM09 after having a good experience with a Dyson tower fan for many years. At the time, I had been living in apartments that were consistently cold during wintertime and downright stifling during the summer months.
Now, my house is slightly better than my apartment — but certain areas get chilly in the winter and nearly sweltering in the summer (we don’t have central air). The AM09 does a great job circulating air in the summer and cutting the chill in the winter. Just the other day, my husband toted it down to his man-cave in the basement to raise the temperature a bit. I love its handy remote, which attaches magnetically to the top of the fan so you don’t lose it and lets you control the fan speed and heater temperature with just a few presses of a button.
Truly, the kicker is how lightweight the AM09 is. At just under six pounds, it’s incredibly easy to pick up and tote upstairs, downstairs or in the other room, wherever you need it the most. It’s almost like a Dyson shadow, following you around wherever you need a quick temperature adjustment. It’s pretty common in my house for it to go from my office upstairs to the den on the main floor and down to the basement all in one day.
Am I a little miffed that, in my impatience, I bought a discounted Dyson heater/fan/air purifier over the summer because I desperately wanted another AM09 and it wasn’t on sale at the time? Yes — but at least you can learn from my shopping woes and get the AM09 instead.
